Hello, i have a specific case, and i was wondering what would be the best way to implement this in Magnolia 4.x?
We have a website that has news-items, and that has projects. A project has several properties that are much like a regular news-item, but with the optional addition of a youtube movie, and it can be linked to an media gallery. The media galleries are managed seperate from the projects, they have a title, description, cover-image, and of course media (which can be a mix of images and video). There is an overview page for all the media galleries, and there is an overview page for all the projects. The media gallery overview page show all the cover images and titles of all the media galleries, in descending publish data order. The projects page show the title, and introduction text with a read more link in descending publish date order. An editor can assign a specific media gallery to a project (in the project properties) and if a project has an assigned media gallery it will show up in the project page. On the homepage there is a footer which will show the latest news item with a title, intro, and read more link, and the latest project with a title, intro and read more link. If there is no project available, it will show a second news item there. On the homepage we also want to show a random mix of 8 cover images from the media galleries, which link directly to the corresponding media gallery. I think this case has a lot of things that come up often in website projects, so it's interesting to see what the best way is to handle this in Magnolia. Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated, this will really help in our evaluationprocess. We've received some pointers to source code of modules etc. but i'm not a star in reverse engineering, though i can read the code. I guess a step-by-step guide on how to do these things, how to program them, how to compile and deploy them, for a real life situation, would be very helpfull. cheers, Olaf ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
