Presentation Transcript

  1. SDL Tridion Community Webinar Introduction and demonstration of the Page Publisher

  2. A very little bit about me • I’m John, I’ve worked with SDL Tridion for years and years. • I’m based in Brussels, Belgium. • I help run Content Bloom a CMS development agency. • I really enjoy working with SDL Tridion. • You can reach me via: • john@contentbloom.com • twitter.com/wntr

  3. About this presentation • I’m going to go through the following: • An introduction to the power tools • A demonstration of the page publisher power tool • Explain a little bit about the architecture of a power tool • A ton of great SDL Tridion GUI development links are found at the end of this presentation • There is a great ‘how to’ here: • http://code.google.com/p/tridion-2011-power-tools/wiki/nononsenseguide • I hope it provides a good insight into how easy and fun it is to build SDL Tridion GUI extensions • Interrupt me at any point if you want to talk about something or I’m not explaining very well!

  4. History of the Power Tools • Original power tools existed pre v2011 • Documented and downloadable from SDL’s Tridion world website: • http://www.sdltridionworld.com/community/extension_overview/powertools.aspx • Still a fantastic set of tools to help you do some SDL ‘power moves’ post SDL Tridion 2011

  5. SDL Tridion 2011 Power Tools • An SDL Tridion community driven project • Open source and available now via: • http://code.google.com/p/tridion-2011-power-tools/ • Already contains a number of useful completed tools. • Final completion of tools expected to launched officially released early Q2. • SDL Tridion 2011 allows full customisation of the GUI.

  6. Page Publisher • Publishes pages individually, opposed to grouped • Main ‘benefit’ is that only incorrect content will fail, rather than the whole publish transaction • Makes it easier to spot where templates issues exist • Includes additional functionality to include component links and workflow • Still under-going some final tweaks in current form.

  7. Page Publisher - Demo *Crosses fingers & toes*

  8. Page Publisher – future development V2 will likely integrate directly with the default publish dialog

  9. Page publisher – how it works • There are roughly 4 parts to a power tool: • XMLto provide configuration • Where it ‘appears’ in the CME • The resources used (css, js) • JavaScript: To handle the logic of the item in the CME • A command script to handle the tool launching and visibility • A file that deals with the display and functionality within the tool interface • Aspx page: The power tool interface • Web service/Model: Provides processing and feedback to the power tool using the SDL Tridion core service
