Hello Jan, f.e. with a news item, i can lots of different types of paragraphs, some news items have a video item, some only text, some a combination of both etc. With the data-module this is not something i can do, i define the dialogue for a news data-module type, with it's properties, and this is what i have to use for that type. Maybe scanning the PDF makes it a littlebit more clear.
Basically it's how the STK uses news and events, only the news and events items are managed from another tree in the repository, outside the website repository, and also have a different management-menu item in the authoring environment. I guess i can explain it best by saying that is a more generic version of news/events in STK, with filtering on terms, and displaying as a paragraph type using these terms, and a seperate management interface like the data modules in the authoring environment. I hope this makes it a littlebit more clear? :) Olaf On Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 10:48 AM, Jan Haderka<[email protected]> wrote: > > On Fri, 2009-06-26 at 10:09 +0200, Olaf iLink wrote: >> Hello Boris, >> >> because the data module has a fixed structure, The power of the Media > > Hi Olaf, > I don't really understand what you mean when you say "data module > structure is fixed". > - You can have any kind of folder structure there, > - you can even have multiple different types along in the same folder > structure. > - If you write your own tree configuration you can have even content to > be child/parent to another content of the same or even of different > type > > ... what is it missing that you still see the structure as "fixed"? > > Thanks, > Jan > >> Repository in GX is that it's flexible in it's content, like Magnolia >> webpages with their paragraph objects. >> >> Olaf >> >> On Fri, Jun 26, 2009 at 9:08 AM, Boris >> Kraft<[email protected]> wrote: >> > >> > Why not simply use the data module?
