NextCMS is a content management, built on top of zend framework, dojo toolkit, and jquery
it is free and open source software
this slide tell you one of many reasons why you should choose NextCMS instead of other one
a few scenarios when you manage your website: insert link of a particular article to the article’s content
upload a file and insert its link to the article’s content
insert link of given category when build a menu
search for photos that have been uploaded and use it as
article's cover, album’s cover, or video's poster
… and many other cases
how it is done in other CMS (insert link of an article to other article, for example) do it manually (bad) 1. search for the article in the front-end 2. copy its link 3. insert the link to other article’s content
open a popup (better but not good enough) 1. open a popup window 2. search for the article 3. click the article to insert its link
we need a better way to:
search for data and reuse it
data can be taken across modules
menu
providers main layout
1 2
3
1. load the main layout of particular module dynamically (@developers: via ajax) the providers are loaded only one time
2. open the providers from the main menu
3. drag data from the providers and drop to the main layout
1. search 2. drag 3. drop
example: insert link of an attachment to the article’s content
example: upload new video
where to upload video file?
where to upload video’s poster?
Where are my upload buttons?
example: upload new video
where to upload video file? let’s use the uploader
example: upload new video
where to upload video’s poster? let’s use the image/photo provider
@end-users
we change user experiences
we teach you a new, only one, and best way to reuse data
whenever you want to reuse data, think about data provider
the interface is cleaner and simpler (without uploading buttons, popup windows, etc.)
@developers
you do NOT have to duplicate your code for common tasks (such as uploading, inserting common data, etc.)
you can create your own providers (more details in the extensibility section)
access the providers:
from the modules menu
from the toolbox tab
provide various kind of data:
basic
file, image, link, video
module specified
attachment, banner, photo, tag, user, video, widget
provided by 3rd-parties
example of link provider: insert link of particular article to the article’s content
example of link provider: set the link of particular category to a menu item
example of file provider: browse and insert uploaded file to the article’s content
example of uploader: upload and insert a file to the article’s content
example of image provider: upload new image banner
please do NOT ask me where your upload buttons are
example of image provider: upload an image and set it as album’s cover
example of image provider: upload an image and set it as article’s cover
example of photo provider: use a photo to set video's poster
example of tag provider: tag an article
example of user provider: create a message filter that will move all messages from same user to a folder
example of user provider: define the receivers when you send new message
example of widget provider: insert a poll at the bottom of article’s content
example of widget provider: insert a widget to a page
providers can be removed/reattached at anytime
auto set article cover’s title after dropping an image
again: you will NOT see any upload buttons in the additional panel
auto set video’s title after dropping an uploaded video
again: you will NOT see any upload buttons in the additional panel
auto set menu item’s title after dropping a link
auto set banner’s title after dropping a banner file
again: you will NOT see any upload buttons in the additional panel
uploader:
auto organize uploaded files based on current module
@developers: you can develop your own providers
a provider actually is an extension
support MVC
support internationalization (i18n)

it is possible to execute a javascript callback after dragging and dropping data
dojo.subscribe("/app/global/dnd/ onDropLink", function(data) { ... });
dojo.publish("/app/global/dnd/ onDropLink", [{ url: linkUrl, title: linkTitle, source: sourceNode, target: targetNode }]);
example: auto set the title of menu item after dropping a link to the URL box
