 Description   

Update:

  • Validate support for references/link-fields from new UI FW app to new UI FW app
  • We will not introduce support for referencing new content-apps from old ones. Especially since new apps are now the default with the !content-type directive.

Original description (oldie)

As a developer I want to use CT definition to generate apps that are compatible with 6.1, so that I can be productive in 6.0

Acceptance criteria

  • In 6.1 I can "retrofit" existing 6.1 style apps to have CT, so that other CT definitions can reference them.
  • A developer can create a CT based app with a reference field which references the V8-contacts app.

Example of the second case.

  • Categories app is changed to be a new V8 style app.
  • I create new "Cars" app that has a reference to the "Categories" content type.
  • I can create a new Categories content type which "retrofits" that V8 style content app.

In order to "retrofit" a contenttype for an existing app - you currently have to decorate the app with this:

class: info.magnolia.ui.contentapp.contentTypes.ConfiguredContentTypeAppDescriptor
contentType: tourCategory

Needs review, depends on UI framework. mgeljic - can you please create & link the necessary ticket?

Done and works properly.

We will not introduce support for referencing new content-apps from old ones. Especially since new apps are now the default with the !content-type directive.

As stated, won't do. Closing ticket therefore.
