RE: Creating New pages

Thank you for the pointer to the document. I will see where I can get with
that. I had not thought of looking in that part of the documentation because
I thought that by "developer" it meant the people writing Wyona.

Well, there are various "ContentCreators" (based on ParentChildCreator). 
The "integration" of them is documented at:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/wyona-cms/docs/xdocs/parent-child-creator.html

Juergen has recently written a better "DefaultCreator",which is based on
the ParentChildCreator, but I think we have not added it to the 
documentation yet.

You would have to add a new item to one of the menus, such as for 
instance "New Page" within the "Edit" menu. You then would normally get
to a "New Page Screen" where you might define a "Name/URL" for the page
and then the page would be created by some "ContentCreator" you have to 
define within the configuration file "doctypes.xconf".

Better examples can be found within the "unipublic" and "forum"
publications.

But again, documentation would help ;-)
