These kinds of questions are probably better for the dev list...

We don't have docs that explain how to add fields to objects and
define new Struts actions, so you're going to have to spend a little
time studying the code to figure out how things work. Take a look at
the Weblog object for example, do a Find Usages in your IDE and look
at how it is used in the backend managers, the action and the wrapper.

Re: Create new actions

[Dudee <gu...@gmail.com>]

I'm using Eclipse and there is no Find Usages there so I'm a bit lost. 
Is the following steps correct if I want to add more properties to my
weblogs and create a template where I can show them or am I missing
something?

1. Create a table in the database with all the new properties 
2. Create 3 files in the pojo-folder (hbm, orm ,java)
3. Create a new file in the rendering/model folder
4. Create a new struts action
5. Create the template

and then to create a action for updating the properties from the webpage I
1. Update the template
2. Create an action file in the Struts2 folder
3. Create an struts action

I'm using the latest version of roller.
I would really appreciate if you could help me out.
