Features / Posibilites in bxeng

[Michael Rolli]

Hi

I'm just playing around with bxeng and wondered if it (will be|is)
possible to use wysiwyg editing with other CMS-Elements than Articles.
I.E. I have created a Staff-Object consisting of some fields like
givenname, surname, birthyear and so on. This gives me an xml-output
like:
<iba>
...
<Staff>
<ID>23</ID>
<givenname/>
<surname/>
...
</iba>

which I then can layout with my xsl-sheet giving me the possibility to
place each element anywhere in the layout.

Is it possible to edit such an object in the wysiwyg editor (using the
same xsl-sheet)?
Is the only work to do just placing things like "<div
bxe_xpath="//Staff/givenname"></div>" around the occurences of the
elements to the xsl-sheet or do I have to do much more work (editing the
relaxng stuff, ..)?
A primer would be helpful to know all the places I have to change
things.

Is this recode bug still an issue. I have 3.6 installed and then saw the
bug report about segfaults. Scaring me... on a production server... ;-)

yep. relaxng and the bxe_xpath stuff and maybe css are the things which
need to be changed. I don't know right now, how it behaves with empty
elements. Have to check it, but it should work theoretically

the relaxng can be created by the with trang (google for it). A Java
based Schema generator. You can feed it with your XML File and it will
create a RNG file for you. If you need help about that part just ask.

See above. Documentation wouldn't be bad, either. I know ;)

BTW, I will release a 0.2Beta of BXE very soon. I made a lot of progress
and bug fixes in the last 2 weeks ;)
