Alright I got some more information about the cms structure. One doesn't have access to the actual files but to a database (well, I don't). Which is even more confusing. So I was told to find a way to represent that data-tree creating a program that could look at the db-structure to be used with webdav.
Do you have any idea how or if this can be achieved? Or is it necessary to actually mount the root directory and not a db? I've installed Slide which works fine but I don't know how to deal with that underlying data structure mentioned above. Do you perhaps know of any cms that works that way, so I could inspect it? thanks again!!!
