Hello, in a CMS that some of our customers use (GX Webmanager) there is something called a Media Repository. This is a very powerfull, elegant and flexible way to manage data-objects with unstructered contents. Basically it's a repository that is much alike the website repository, where you can create articles (like webpages), which can have flexible content (like paragraphs added to the pages). You then can assign "terms" to the media repository items. You can then use a Media Repository item (like a specific media repository viewer/paragraph) in your webpages, where you can filter, sort and show content from the Media Repository, mainly filtered on terms. This way you can f.e. create news-items, vacancies, etc. which can have unstructured flexible content, and show these in pages, f.e. the latest X news items etc.
In Magnolia this is a littlebit like how the news-items in STK are done, but more flexible, and especially more easy to use for a end-user, as they have a specific menu-tab out of the website pages tab to manage this kind of content. What would be the best approach to create something like this in Magnolia? Create a new repository, duplicate the website management admin interface settings to have a specific author menu button to access this new repository, and modify the latest news STK module/dialogue to add terms to look for, ordering, sorting, direction, and make it only look in the new media repository? cheers, Olaf ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
