So, in working with RedDot 10.1 for the last 4 months or so I have found that there are some things that I would like it to do that it just doesn't (like releasing pages that other users have saved as draft for example), or doesn't do well. I discovered the wonders of RQL and started writing a simple .net application that would perform various functions that I found I commonly wanted, and just kept adding more buttons every time I wanted to do something new.
Then I decided to make it a little more extensible. I added a clipboard that functions much like the one in Management Server, an RQL console window, an RQL log window, and a navigation structure window complete with drag and drop. I gave myself the ability to save RQL commands, and the console the ability to replace placeholders (of the form [!lguid_login!]) with data from the clipboard such that I could just copy and paste RQL from the documentation and it would work automagically. Allowing myself to create new buttons from within the program followed naturally. Before I knew it, I had not used the web interface at all in weeks. So, I was thinking to myself that other users might want this functionality as well. Given the large amount of work I've put into this it doesn't seem like something I should give away on solutions exchange or whatever, but before I started trying to sell it I thought I'd ask you guys if it sounds like something you would find useful. I can post screenshots and/or video walkthroughs if this idea intrigues anyone. Let me know! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RedDot CMS Users" group.
