Hi What I am trying to do is to dynamically generate a list of articles. The title and abstract of each article should be shown. The title of the article is also a link to the full article (story). Normally, this is not difficult to handle, for example the news example application shows you how to accomplish this. However, my articles are static html pages that I need to link to. These static articles are generated from mmbase. In mmbase each article has an url associated to it (it represent the physical (static) location of the article). I need to dynamically create those links. Below is an example of what I am talking about.
<a href="....">title</a> abstract <a href="...">title</a> abstract <a href="...">title</a> abstract I guess what I am trying to say is how do I dynamically (using taglibs) pull the corresponding url of each article from mmbase and use it as an hyperlink to the article full story. I hope this make sense, Curtney On Saturday 31 July 2004 10:28 am, Kees Jongenburger wrote: > Hi > > MMBase as-is encourages the reuse of content. a news item might be used > in different context (pages), therefore it is usualy not possible for > mmbase to generate links to other internal content. to solve this > problem different aproaches are followed. for every content type you can > create a generic page > /generic/news.jsp > /generic/images.jsp > so that it's possible to link to other pages.
