Progressive Enhancements to Improve Content Editing and Reuse - In-context Editing

2. • Block Based Content – 3/5 • Configurable Layouts – 3/12 • In-context Editing – 3/19 These are technical presentations on advanced development for Cascade Server. Let‟s dive in … © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

4.  Define in-context editing and current implementation in Cascade  Issues related to block-based content with configurable layouts and in-context editing  Benefits of in-context editing and separating content from layout  General method to implement in-context editing  Limitations of in-context editing implementations © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

6. In-context Editing In-context editing is a cycle in which content for a page is edited by linking to the asset from the rendered display: Select block  Click Edit Icon  Edit & Submit Changes © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

7.  Cascade Server adds a block icon for every system region with an assigned block.  These block icons provide in-context editing for all system regions  The block can appear in unusual locations depending on the template structure © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

8.  Block-based content with template regions ◦ Content blocks appear with page structure block  Confusing to some end users  Content blocks appear identical to structure blocks ◦ Can greatly increase the number of icons on the layout  User-configurable Layout ◦ All block content in a layout appears as a single region ◦ Must navigate to layout before going to block BUT, Cascade Server has an elegant solution … © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

12.  Go back to page content as a single, giant WYSIWYG block ◦ Step backwards! – Not ideal! ◦ Why? ◦ Not easier for editing isolated content pieces  Go back to template level layout ◦ Step backwards! – Even worse! ◦ Why? ◦ Lose all the benefits of user-configurable layouts … © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

13.  In-context content editing ◦ Flexible implementation ◦ Intuitive for most end-users ◦ Supports separation of layout and content ◦ Allows Cascade‟s agile nature to shine ◦ Extends Cascade‟s user interface © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

14.  Dynamically inserted ◦ Editing link based on content blocks in layout  Supports user-configurable layouts  Distinctive from page structure blocks  Improves end-user experience by associating display with content editing. (Less guessing.) © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

15.  Solution ◦ In-context Content Editing  Supports page level flexible layouts  Supports block base content ◦ Distinctive appearance – the “GREEN” pencil  Example – Emory Interior Page © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

21. Before you start …  Utilize block-based content (1st presentation)  Utilize user-configurable layout (2nd presentation)  Get organized. Keep all content blocks together.  Well developed, modular code ◦ Velocity – Macros ◦ XSLT– Imported Stylesheets  Map tool very helpful to create © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

23.  Create Content Key-ID map ◦ Use key to associate with ID ◦ Handle duplicate keys with error  Add in-context content editing logic to processing code module  Verify success with each block type ◦ Important to check position of in-context edit icon ◦ May need to adjust icons based on content block © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

37.  It is all about organization!  XSLT ◦ Use import to keep the parts of your code separate  Modularity ◦ Tools are your friend – write components!  Map Tool  Node Key Tool ◦ More verbose that Velocity  Velocity ◦ Use macros ◦ Terse procedural syntax – embrace the style © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

39.  Content editing is in-context!  More intuitive for editors!  Overcome limitations of user-configurable layouts!  The best context for content editing is in-context ;)  Requires minimal training! © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

42.  Block Based Content ◦ Easier to reuse ◦ Validation More  User-configurable Layout Productive ◦ Empower users ◦ Unlimited options Less  In-context Content Editing Frustrated ◦ Fixes block based content ◦ Fixes user-configurable layout ◦ Improves the user‟s experience © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation

44.  Emory University ◦ For being a great client whose challenging needs and great ideas drive great solutions  Hannon Hill ◦ For continuing to develop and add wonderful features to Cascade Server ◦ For nurturing a wonderfully vibrant user community  John, Kat and Holly ◦ For making this presentation possible and for all your support of the series © 2013 – StoneRidge Corporation
