Exercise: Advanced

Could be based off of this: Code Snippets and https://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/display/DOCS56/Developing+a+custom+content+editor+app

1. We'll be using the FreeMarker directive continue, so we need to update the version of FreeMarker that came with Magnolia (2.3.25 - you could find it in your WEB-INF/lib).  Add the following to your webapp pom:

   <dependency>
     <groupId>org.freemarker</groupId>
     <artifactId>freemarker</artifactId>
     <version>2.3.27-incubating</version>
   </dependency>

2. Now we need a content app for managing something, call them 'offers'. 

   Click here to expand...

   Use the Groovy App to create a content app called 'Offers'. (this is just to create the workspace and get us the roles)

   Delete /modules/groovy/apps/offers (you will use my copy instead later)


   Delete /modules/ui-admincentral/config/appLauncherLayout/groups/edit/apps/offers (you will put it somewhere else later)


   Log out of Magnolia and log back in (this is for your user environment to pick up the new roles)

   Add this: offers.yaml to light_modules/rewe/apps/ (I've made some useful changes and made sure it has no errors)


   Import this configuration: config.modules.ui-admincentral.config.appLauncherLayout.groups.rewe.xml (This will put the app in it's own group)

   
   

3. Add 3 offers using your new Offers app. 

   Make sure for 'Country', you use 'cn' and 'gb'.  This is for later testing in the exercise.

4. Now we'll make a page to display the items from that app:
