[opencms-dev] convert Vignette sites to OpenCMS

[Bernard, Shawn]

What do you mean "it will require customization/modification of current Vigentte Project to conform to the openCMS"?  What kind of modifications are you talking about?  To our data model?  To the way we categorize content?

Thanks,

Shawn

Hi Shawn,

 

As a Vignette Ex-VPS and having been working with openCMS for about a month or so, I believe it is possible to migrate a project from Vignette into openCMS.  However, it will require customization/modification of current Vignettte Project to conform to the openCMS.

 

Just to keep in mind, openCMS only have basic java classes with a specific number of method calls that you can make.  On the good side of it, you can enhance those to meet your needs and openCMS caching mechanism is much much better that Vignette.

We have a bunch of sites running on Vignette, and all of them have a very complex, unique content management system.  Each has its own unique datamodel and content management application, as well as content display application.

We are considering moving away from Vignette and to an open source CMS that supports JSP/Java. 

Does anyone have any experience porting over complex sites to OpenCMS?  It is absolutely necessary that we keep the current datamodels of the sites, as well as all the functionality of the sites' content management applications.

Does anyone out there have experience with this?  Is this even possible?  Or will I have to adopt the OpenCMS methodology/model of doing content management?

Thanks, 

Shawn
