CMS are awesome!






No REALLY!CMSes are awesome!






CMSes are awesome if you are an end user!

Click click






CMSes are awesome if you are a sales guy!

Brand






CMSes sucks if you are a developer!

CMS first, framework second






CMSes nightmares• no clean separation of configuration, logic and content

• no clean deployment and staging concept

• inconsistent cache layers

• lots of legacy baggage

• NIH (not invented here) syndrom






Do we also suffer from NIH?

• Based ourselves as much on standard tools and specs

• Deliver value within a reasonable time






CMF = Content Management Framework

• In other words: its a toolbox to create your own custom CMS

• Not a one size fits all, but increase code sharing

• Imagine Diem, Sympal, Apostrophe all build on the same content foundation






Mission

• The Symfony CMF project makes it easier for developers to add CMS functionality to applications built with the Symfony2 PHP framework. Key development principles for the provided set of bundles are scalability, usability, documentation and testing






Contents






i18n






Versioning






Relational DB






Architecture

content repository | Jackrabbit






Content Repository

• A content repository is a generic application data “super store.”

• Can handle both small and large-scale data interactions

• Is expected to manipulate and store structured and unstructured content that vary dynamically






JSR170 aka JCR1JSR283 aka JCR2

• how data are stored within the repository is identified and structured from the point of view of the client






Workspaces

• Multiple workspaces, each with its own name and root node

• Is similar to a Unix file system structure

• Each workspace is independent






Nodes

• Are identified by the path where are stored

• ex. id: “/my/path/under/water/fish”

• Can be created, deleted, modified, copied...






Properties

• Typed attribute:

• STRING, URI, BOOLEAN, LONG, DOUBLE, DECIMAL, BINARY, DATE, NAME, PATH, WEAKREFERENCE REFERENCE

• jcr:created, jcr:mimeType






Nodes

• Are typed using namespaced names

• nt:file, nt:folder...

• nt:unstructured






Node Mixins

• A mixin node type can be assigned to a node during that node's lifetime

• mix:referenceable

• jcr:uuid






Node Mixins

• mix:versionable

• jcr:versionHistory

• jcr:predecessors

• jcr:baseVersion

• jcr:isCheckedOut

• jcr:mergeFailed






Content repositoryJava implementation






Architecture


phpcr | Jackalope






PHPCR

• Aims to provide a standard API that can be used by any PHP content management system to interface with any content repository.

• Several Implementations

• Jackalope on Jackrabbit

• Jackalope on Doctrine DBAL

• Midgard2 PHPCR






PHPCR

• PHPCR has been submitted to JCR

• http://phpcr.github.com/

Architecture


phpcr | Jackalope

doctrine | phpcr-odm






PHPCR-ODM

• Sits on top of jackalope

• Works like MongoDB or CouchDB ODM, but also includes a tree/graph, versioning and ACL API






PHPCR-ODM






Document Class






Repository Class






CRUD






Traversal






Versioning






Not all data fits well in PHPCR/JCR

• For example aggregation is better done in an RDBMS

• Store web store product description in PHPCR/JCR

• Store web store inventory and orders in RDBMS






Architecture


phpcr | Jackalope

doctrine | phpcr-odm

Sf2 | doctrinePHPCRBundle






DoctrinePHPCRBundle

• Document Manager available in the DIC






DEMO






Roadmap

• PHPCR-ODM: @Child, @Children, @Parent, @ReferenceOne, @ReferenceMany, ...

• Make AdminBundle compatible

• Create frontend Bundles






Eating your own dog food

• Ideato is rebuilding its site on top of CMF






Many companies are committed to the effort
