[TYPO3-dev] Mountpoint handling / problems

[Steffen Kamper]

Hi,

IMHO there is a lack in Mountpointhandling, which causes problems in one 
installation where mountpoints are used very much.

To understand it better, i describe the usage:

There is a big agency site with a normal page tree.
Now there are a lot of sub agencies in the pagetree. They have a mixture 
of own pages, and they use content from the main agency. For this 
content mountpoints are used.
There is a subagency template with a set of pages (normal and 
mountpages) which is used for copying for a new sub agency.

Now the problem is the following:
Mountpages are mounting complete branch and not only a single page, but 
in pagetree there is only the (one) mountpoint visible.
The editor has no chance to set a link to subpage of a mountpoint. He 
only can link to pages of the main agency.

Why is it important to use mountpage?
If you are in the page of a sub agency and the content of main agency is 
mounted, he don't exit his subpage (wiith own domain, own template etc) 
after clicking a link of main agency.

Now i think a little enhancement would solve the problem:
If BE pagetree would render the complete branch of a mountpage, it would 
be possible to browse there when setting links.

Any opinions on that?
