Hi Mark,
thanks for your answer and the hint with the ChainMetaModule. Since Cocoon is so
big you sometimes don't see, that it already has a solution for your problem,
like it is in my case. I didn't know the module and what it can do. But next
time I will look for existing solution or ask the mailing list first. :-)

Thanks,
Nicole
