Hi Alex,
regarding your questions and guesses about channels...
> 1) There is any documentation about channels?
Unfortunatly not much so far.
> 2) No one on this list is using channels?
I would be suprised if many do. A pity. We do, I know one other company that
does.
> 3) guess - Channels are intended for content categorization as a general
> purpose alternative (to be used with cms_module_master ??) to channel
> mechanism used by News module?
> 4) guess- Channels are intended for defining multiple "deploy targets",
> like different publications, etc.
Correct. It's like you create channels as a folder structure. Then you have
your content item (let's say a news item) and you have channels that are
intenend for the news items. You have output templates where you say
"display this news channel at that page", perhaps by attaching a property to
a page. When you write a news item, you select in which channels it should
appear, and multiple ones can be selected. And then the news item appears on
all the pages. Stuff like that.
> 5) Someone used channel successfully and would like to share their
> experience?
Sure, it all will be in the magic upcoming documentation, at last we will
give you what we use so far. Nothing will be held back. But I know this is
beginning to sound lame as I keep promising without delivering much (beside
that releases). I am sorry but please give us just some more weeks time.
Best Regards,
Alex.
