Jens,

But it works! Changing out metadata with editForm works fine. The title
is not set, but in a custom class that easely can be arranged.

I was suprised how easy it was to create a customized 'news item' based
on code in another directory. Diffrent behaviour (not discussable) and
some other metadata.

I will write a little how-to in the dogbowl, which I hope the 'experts'
will comment upon, so that others do not need to figure out how to do
this.

Regards, Lucas
