custom pages app and pages with links to other pages

[Samuli Saarinen]

I tried to create a custom pages app that creates pages in another workspace like described here: [1]. This worked out fine but then there are pages that have components like links that are using pages-chooser and only allow choosing pages from website-workspace. Is there some way to get pages chooser to some how use the "right" workspace based on the datasource used in my custom pages app or at least allow changing the workspace like JCR app does? I can't just override the pages-chooser workspace as I need it to work in both "vanilla" and my custom pages app.

in 6.2 you can pick and choose datasource for the link field
if you talking about pageLinkField it is just a handy alias for regular linkField with predefined workspace: website and allowedNodeTypes: mgnl:page
source: https://git.magnolia-cms.com/projects/MODULES/repos/pages/browse/magnolia-pages-app/src/main/java/info/magnolia/pages/app/field/PageLinkFieldDefinition.java#48

you can point link field to any workspace you want

link:
  $type: linkField
  label: Link
  datasource:
    $type: jcrDatasource
    workspace: website

you can read about datasources in docs here: https://docs.magnolia-cms.com/product-docs/6.2/apps/app-configuration/data-source-definition

and link field here: https://docs.magnolia-cms.com/product-docs/6.2/developing/templating/dialog-definition/field-definition/list-of-fields/link-field

Yes that much I know but it's not very convenient to make duplicates of every component with links with different references to workspaces. Not a drop in replacement either but I think for "pages app with different workspace" idea to be more useful there would have to be a custom link field that allows selecting from multiple workspaces and this would also need to be stored/encoded in the field value as well (like mycustomworkspace:/path/to/somewhere. Node uuid would work though) and be used in link rendering.

Thanks for the reply!
