What CatalystX::CMS Is Not

What CatalystX::CMS Offers

Simple case

package MyApp::Controller::Foo;
use base qw( CatalystX::CMS::Controller );

# view the foo/bar.tt file with
# /foo/bar

# edit the foo/bar.tt file with
# /foo/bar?cxcms=edit

sub bar : Local { }

Less simple case

package MyApp::Controller::Foo;
use base qw( CatalystX::CMS::Controller );

__PACKAGE__->config( 
    action_class_per_action => 1 
);

# view the foo/bar.tt file with
# /foo/bar
# edit the foo/bar.tt file with
# /foo/bar?cxcms=edit

sub bar : Local ActionClass('CMS') { }

# can't edit /foo/bing
sub bing : Local { }

Under the hood

ActionClass

sub bar : Local ActionClass('CMS') { }

Configuration: classes

 package MyApp;
 MyApp->config(
    cms => {
        model_name             => 'CMS',
        view_name              => 'CMS',
        actionclass_per_action => 0,
    }
 );

Configuration: GUI options

 package MyApp;
 MyApp->config(
    cms => {
        use_editor             => 1,
        use_layout             => 1,
        editor                 => {
            height => '300',
            width  => '550',
        },
    }
 );

Configuration: model and storage

 package MyApp;
 MyApp->config(
    cms => {
        default_type    => 'html',
        default_flavour => 'default',   
        lock_period     => 3600,
        root => {
            r  => [ MyApp->path_to('root') ],
            rw => [ '/path/to/svn/workdir' ],
        },      
    }
 );

Model: Manager

Model: Object

Model: Storage

Model: Subversion

Model: Locking

View: TT

View: YUI

Oh yeah. Workflow.
