DataHandler: How to represent content elements?

[Armin Vieweg]

Well, this is a difficult topic. First we need to separate between content elements which should be included in the environment setup, and which not.

A news plugin is such an element, which is essential to provide (and test) the functionality.

To create a class for the content item is not a big deal... but the flexible xml data is^^ We could make it easier for admins to fetch the xml, by an extension in backend, which displays the pi_flexform content. I've already implemented this feature in my extension "t3lephant" (available in TER).

This topic is also relevant for issue #3, which is about translations.
