Hello List,<br><br>
We've been using OpenCMS for just about a week now and were really
excited about the different possibilities it brings to the table. Were
planning on using it for all of our web sites and internal information
sources. Along with this, we would like to integrate a plug-in inside of
OpenCMS. We have the technical man power & knowledge to actually
implement this, but we were hoping for some pointers to help us get
started. <br><br>
The basic idea of what we want to do is be able to click a button on the
editor which will send the content of the page to our system. We would
then work on the content and send it back to the CMS when
completed. Other bells & whistles would be added upon this as
well, but this is the overall idea.<br>
We have some questions about where to look into to actually start this
implementation.<br><br>
1) Is this plug-in, something that could be completed through the module
functionality of OpenCMS?<br>
- Can you add content to the basic Administration page via a module?
(Interface Button / Settings form, ...)<br>
- If a module could not support this, how else would you do it?<br>
- I read through the
com.alkacon.documentation.documentation-modules_1.0.zip module and I
appreciate the administration knowledge that was inside of it. But does
OpenCMS have any more detailed documentation about the technical details
of implementing a module?<br><br>
2) Does OpenCMS have an API which would enable us to access the content
in the same standard OpenCMS way?<br>
- Any documentation on this API?<br>
- Any documentation available that is more suited to a developer, rather
then a end user?<br><br>
3) Has anyone completed a similar type of plug-in to extend the
functionality of OpenCMS?<br><br>
We know that there is a fair amount of work to complete this plug-in, but
were excited about starting development on it. We reviewed other CMS
tools to implement this plug-in with and we have decided to go with
OpenCMS. We would also be happy to release this plug-in as part of the
OpenCMS core, or an optional download from the OpenCMS site. <br><br>
Thank you for your time,<br><br>
