Extending the Site class would indeed be one way to do this, and I
can see how useful that would be changing "stuff" globally; since we
have a similar "concept" for paragraphs/templates (the "parameters"
Map), I'd personally be inclined to accept a patch that would add
this in the default Site impl.

I believe all that needs to be added to the Site class is these few lines and content2bean should take care of the rest, right?

----
private Map parameters = new HashMap();

public Map getParameters() {
    return this.parameters;
}

public void setParameters(Map params) {
    this.parameters = params;
}

Should I open a Jira ticket for this?

I'd like to able to use this functionality pretty soon, say in the next couple of weeks. Do you recommend that I use my own class for now (extending the Site class, and casting Site to my own extension as needed) or is there a release coming up in which this could be incorporated?

Hello all,

I'm developing a paragraph (that will probably be used as an
auto-generated paragraph) that I'd like to be able to configure on
the site-level. AFAIK there is no functionality in Magnolia that
will let me set arbitrary properties on the site definition, as
that just instantiates a Site object, which has a fixed set of
properties.

Should I create a class that extends the Site class with a Map that
I can put arbitrary properties in (and from which paragraphs can
read site-level settings?) and use that class instead? Is this
functionality that might be interesting to add to Magnolia itself
or am I the only one who needs this?

Or is there another (better) way to accomplish this?

Thanks,

Nils Breunese.
