Hello,

MidCOM is a component framework and there |>are a bunch of components for it. These components can store their data |>as Articles, that's right. But this is not mandatory, a component could |>also store data in files or a database. That's what that component thing |>is about, you don't have to deal with the storage, you just use it. | | | So all articles basically have to use the exact same layout? Or is it possible | to write a style element which automatically detects which article or topic | is requested and modifies the layout accordingly? (what I want to do is the | following: All pages on our client's site share the same layout, but each | category has its own logo at the beginning of the article)
Nope, you can use separate layouts. It's pretty easy with MidCOM. Just write yourself a main style (with <[ROOT]> element) and then create child styles (i.e. de.linkm.taviewer) where you remove every <[ROOT]> element and create elements that are supported by the component (see defaults from the snippets: /de/linkm/taviewer/_style/).
Then you create subchildstyles ;) for the different site sections. And the style tree should look something like:
MyStyle - -<[ROOT]> +de.linkm.taviewer - --<[show-article]> ++frontpage - ----<[show-article]> ++subsection - ----<[show-article]>
Then with your styles ready, you must apply them to the topics as a parameter. You can do this in MidCOM AIS too by editing topic and filling the field "style". (i.e. /MyStyle/de.linkm.taviewer/subsection)
That's it, sounds complicated but it's pretty easy when you've done it once. BTW: If you haven't checked Mr. Bergius' Midgard Tutorial slides from OSCOM3, I'd recommend you take a look... http://slideml.bitflux.ch/files/slidesets/499/toc.html

<?php
$person = mgd_get_person($midgard->user); echo "Welcome Mr/Mrs $person->name";
?>
You can replace Mr/Mrs with some extra field or parameter.
