Configuring multiple editable bxe or kupu areas on a page in a publication in Lenya?

In version 2.0 of lenya how to do configure it to have multiple bxe or kupu
editable areas on a page in a publication?   Any inputs or direction in
doing this will be apreciated.  I looked at the blog
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon-lenya/MultipleEditAreasHowTo

and that is for an older version.  I need some direction on how to go about
doing this.  Any inputs will be much appreciated.

Best regards,

Monisha

Hi Monisha,

btw, please invest a couple of minutes in reading the quoting guidelines 
mentioned on the "Mailing Lists" page on the Lenya website. Thanks a lot!

Since Lenya uses a per-document access control mechanism, the most 
straightforward (and most secure) way to accomplish this is using 
separate documents. This should probably be opaque to the user:

* The custom Create usecase would add all sub-documents when the main 
document is created.
* You'd add a menu item for each sub-document: "Edit sidebar", "Edit 
bottom area" etc.

Maybe it even makes sense to re-use sidebar documents on multiple pages, 
e.g. via XInclude?

If you don't want to use this approach, you probably have to patch or 
override (see fallback concept) the module(s) of the editor(s) you want 
to use. This could be quite a complex task, though. I remember an 
implementation of such a mechanism with Xopus, but that was years ago 
and not a walk in the park.

I'd recommend the first approach (using multiple documents). This will 
probably be easier to implement and doesn't require to dig into the 
complicated editor code.

HTH,

Andreas,
  In the Apache Lenya publication, we want restrict edit access based on the
users.  So we want the area on the right side of the page to be edited by
one set of users and the area at the bottom to be edited by another set of
users.  The objective here is when we say edit using bxe or kupu we do not
want the entire page content to be displayed in that, only the content for
the portion that the users have access to edit.  Is it possible to do this
and if so how?  Any inputs will be much appreciated.

Best regards,

Monisha

would you mind describing what you're trying to achieve in a bit more 
detail? There are multiple approaches, it depends on your intention.
