Template Development. The template files are located in your project plugin (bundles/<PROJECT>/tpl and bundles/<PROJECT>/res. In res folder you can find static resources (css, images, javascript), and tpl folder is the one where your velocity templates are located. By default Chon CMS will have 3 types on nodes (home page, category and html), and corresponding velocity templates are located in tpl/pages/, home.html, category.html and view.html. HTML rendering starts with tpl/pages/base.html (for all nodes), and inside body your specific content is rendered based on your node type (home.html, category.html or view.html). In templates 3 variables are passed: $this – current node $ctx – application context $ext – extension map To generate new plugin, navigate to bundles directory and use: Let’s say we want very simple plugin that updates a counter when we get a hit on the page. When above mvn command asks for a name we would call it com.interworks.visitor.counter; that will generate new OSGi based plugin in bundles directory. Note the creation structure of a plugin. It is fully compliant OSGi bundle that can be right after creation imported in eclipse and ready for development. Best way to develop a plugin is to use eclipse PDE features. To setup eclipse see next section. For counter plugin, update count code initial trigger would be in base.html since in that file all other templates are included. Each html node request is rendered using base.html. So, in base.html an extension can be called that updates simple counter stored in JCR. Anywhere in base.html add code: $ext.counter What will happen in rendering pipeline: The framework will see if counter extension is registered (see app.registerExtension), get extension object (the class that implements org.chn.cms.core.Extenstion) and retrieve front end template object (call getTplObject on extension). For counter only call to getTplObject can be used to update back end storage counter. Here is complete example how Extension implementation would look like: import org.chon.cms.model.content.IContentNode; import org.chon.cms.model.content.PropertyType; import org.chon.web.api.Request; public class CounterExtension implements Extension { @Override // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override // TODO Auto-generated method stub } @Override Long count = updateCount(req); return "Counter Updated; Current Count: " + count; } catch (Exception e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace(); return "Oops exception occured: " + e...
