While thinking of cms I am thinking in following way:
1) What to show
2) Where to show
3) How to show
*What to show:*
As I look into ofbiz and bigfish, each has their own way to define it. In
my opinion I have following thoughts:
a) Content Purpose -> This is to ensure what we are looking for. Lets
say purpose is : BANNER, NEWS, FAQ, WEB_PAGE. So, If I have a menu in my
erp application saying 'Manage Banners' then I will fetch all content whose
purpose is set to 'BANNER'
Now, what hirerachy I am setting up
WEBSTORE_CNT (PUBLISH_POINT )
|
|
WEB_STATIC_CONTENT
|
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| |
|
BANNER_STATIC NEWS FAQ
|
------------------------------------------
| |
BANNER_TYPE_1 BANNER_TYPE_2
(Attr imgWidth, imgHeight)
|
----------------------
| |
Banner1 Banner2
Here, all my cms related configurational content goes under
WEB_STATIC_CONTENT hirerachy (It is a top most root under my publish point)
All these are my content Ids. Under BANNER_STATIC I have baaner types which
basically sets banner size in them as attribute. So, every banner I add
should go under any of these types (banner_type_1, banner_type_2).
*How to show:*
* *This becomes very specific to as what we are showing. I think writing
macros would be a better choice for this. @renderBanner , @renderNews
*Where to show:*
I am still evaluating as in how to connect my content out of the box to the
layouts. What I really want is that after adding the banner I want user to
choose the places where
a) This banner is eligible to be shown (based on it's size)
This brings a question how to define these places.
