############################################### External Content Module ############################################### Maintainer Contact ----------------------------------------------- Marcus Nyeholt <marcus (at) silverstripe (dot) com (dot) au> Requirements ----------------------------------------------- Note: For a SilverStripe 2.4 compatible module, please check the 1.0.0 branch SilverStripe 3.0.3 FileSystem Connector module (for a default connector implementation) PHP MB String module (should be default on most systems) Documentation ----------------------------------------------- The external content module provides a method for making content from external sources available and usable within SilverStripe See http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=module:external-content for an overview of the functionality provided by this module See http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=module:external-content-quickstart for a quick start guide to working with the filesystem-connector module See http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=module:external-content-newconnector for writing a new custom connector Quick Usage Overview ----------------------------------------------- As copied from http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=module:external-content-quickstart This article assumes that you have installed the "FileSystem Connector" module (http://public.silverstripe.com.au/open/modules/filesystem-connector/), which provides access to content from a filesystem path. ==== Connecting to the content source ==== * Extract the module to your silverstripe root directory in a directory called "external-content" * Browse to http://localhost/external-content/admin and login * Create a new FileSystemContentSource from the tree on the left menu. Set the following field values: ** name - File System Content ** Folder Path - The folder to retrieve content from (in the form /path/to/content) * Once saved, you will need to reload the External Content page for content to start coming through the connector ==== Accessing content on the frontend ==== * Navigate to the "Site Content" tab * Create a new 'External Content Page' in your site tree * Change the External Content Source value to the source created earlier * Save and view the page on the frontend; its url should look something like http://localhost/extcon/view?ID=1 or similar * You can also link to external content directly in the WYSIWYG content areas by selecting "External Content" as the "Link To" option when the Insert Link toolbar is displayed ==== Importing content ==== * First, make sure you have an empty folder called "Incoming" created in the "Files & Images" section * Navigate back to the External Content section, and expand the "File System Content" node created earlier. * Navigate to a folder that contains some files and click on its name, then click on the Migrate tab. * Select the "Incoming" folder, then click the "Include Selected Item in Migration" option. * Click the Migrate button down the bottom. An alert box will shortly appear when the migrate is complete. * Navigate to the "Files and Images" section and click the "Incoming" folder. * The uploaded files should appear in the right hand listing when you select the imported folder API ----------------------------------------------- For information on the various parts of the API needed for writing connectors, please see the new connector tutorial at http://doc.silverstripe.org/doku.php?id=module:external-content-newconnector WebApiClient A generic method for calling methods with parameters where the method is actually found on a remote URL, and the return type of that method call can be easily converted to an appropriate object. For example, imagine that there is a "login" method that can be called on a particular URL with some parameters, with an XML return type. A definition of this method would look like 'login' => array( 'url' => '/api/login', 'return' => 'xml', 'params' => array('u', 'pw'), 'cache' => false, ), When the WebApiClient is created, it is passed a 'baseUrl' and a list of method definitions like the above. Then, it is simply a matter of calling $apiClient->call('login', array('u' => 'user', 'pw' => 'pass')) and getting a SimpleXML object as the return type. This mechanism is used by the AlfrescoSeaMistRepository, so refer to that module for further details. Troubleshooting ----------------------------------------------- If you're having trouble viewing pages when opening an ExternalContentPage directly via the backend, make sure there's not two ? characters in the URL. The SS backend assumes that a URL for an item won't have a URL in it, but at the moment URLs are constructed in this way.
