Re: Moving container, when page is moved

[Benjamin . Papez]

Hello Serge,

It indeed is complicated. At least I am able to get the values for all languages in the source (to be moved) container. The problem is how to place them into the current target container (which is in the process of being created).

My code, which moves all container fields along with the moved page, is in an event listener in the addContainerEngineAfterInit event (similar to the eventlistener.jsp in the corporate_portal_templates).

If I call
jField = targetContainer.getField(fieldName)
I can get the field of the current container and can set the value just for the current language.

If I call
jField.getContentField()
on that variable I get null, so I cannot access the content objects for all the different languages. How else could I save a field in all the different languages within my event-listener? Do I have access to the JahiaContentContainerFacade? The values of course should not be persisted right ahead, but only when the user presses OK or "Save and new".

Greetings,
Benjamin Papez
