This DMX plugin brings multi-site web-publishing capabilities to your DMX installation.
Installing it introduces the type defintions for a Website, Webpage, Webpage Section, Tile, Button, Link, Website Redirect and a Website Menu Item. The following figure shows an overview of the type definitions installed when deploying the dmx-webpages plugin into a.
Feature-wise, this plugins allows for one global website ("Standard Website") as well as a website for each DMX user. Each website can appear in a different style or layout, has its own namespace and its own webpages.
The HTML generated by this module tries to map (at best as possible) the DMX standard types to the terms of the Schema.org vocabulary.
Webpages is build on the dmx-thymeleaf module.
See system requirements at dmx-systems/dmx-platform
It is recommended to use DMX 5.1 (or higher) and it is required to use the following
- dmx-thymeleaf-0.9.1+ module
You'll find both available for download both at https://download.dmx.systems.
To start working a Webpage simply use the Create menu in the "Search/Create" dialog of DMX Webclient.
To publish a Webpage it must be connected to a Website. To do so, create a webpage and create an "Association" (Grey) between the Webpage and your Website topic.
Search and reveal your Website. The website topic allows you to edit and enter some basic information (e.g. Footer, About Text, Stylesheet etc) which is shared across all webpages associated with the website.
After you've associated your webpage with your website, you can use the "Browse" command available on the Website topic to see how your new website looks like.
In the following graphic you see the configuration of a "Hello World" website with five main menu items, a website header, a webpage with a custom header and with three webpage sections.
Note: The permission who can see your published webpage depends on the so called SharingMode of the workspace your webpage topic is assigned to. You can learn more about sharing data with the public or within a group of users in the DMX User Guide - Collaboration and Sharing.
The webpages modules is still far from perfect and comes with a lot of quirks. Feel free to ask for help or give feedback in the DMX Forum. For more help using DMX Webpages check out its documentation here.
