[1.4]: Resource types presentation and interaction with the user

[Paloma Gomez <pa...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,

I have implemented a custom resource type as a module in Lenya 1.4.
Basically it displays some data retrieved from a database. I  provide
a default view of the data but I would also like to provide the users
the option of filtering the data according to some criteria.

Looking at the logs it seems that at some point the document request
(<my-pub>/<area>/<my-resource-type-doc>.html) gets replaced by
something like this: modules/<my-module-name>/<my-module-name>.xml
which is what gets handled by the module sitemap.

This makes me think that there is no way to pass request parameters to
the module sitemap, but I'm not sure. If this is true, I would like to
know if there is another way of doing it.

TIA,

Paloma

Actually the original request parameters should be available in
the module sitemap as well.

Yes, This should be the request for {resource-type:format-xhtml} in your 
publications sitemap that makes this subrequest.  As far as I know the 
original request parameters are still available to the subrequest as 
long as it is a internal sitemap request (cocoon://, cocoon:/).

It should work (if the resource type format resolves to a cocoon:// source).
