I don't understand how the data stored in the sysfolders (e.g. People, Publications, etc.) is connected to the pages.
Solution
This article gives you a little background information. It is not intended to explain exactly how to setup a plugin because this would go beyond this FAQ within its actual state.
1. If you select the 'List' View you see a page tree similar to this:
The icons in the upper part represent pages while the icons in the lower part represent so called sysfolders. A page is what you probably already know: a container for page content. (More Information: Pages)
A sysfolder is a folder where datasets are stored, which are used by extensions. Extensions are embedded in pages as plugins.
2. See for example the D-ITET News page. If you click on the page, you see that it contains, among others, a Plugin called 'News' . (Indented its alternative language complement.)
3. It's properties look like showed in the following image. As you can see, its Type is a 'Plugin' .
4. By clicking on the flag 'Plugin' we see which plugin is chosen and its properties. Accordingly, in this example it is the News 'plugin' . The most important property is the starting point. It gives the plugin the information where to look for the datasets which will then be shown on the page.
