- Hydra
Hydra is the new CMS/wiki-like app being created for ((Project/HordeWeb))
++ Bugs
++ Source
As Horde is experimenting with new source control systems (((Project/FutureSCM))), hydra is being developed in a git (http://git.or.cz/) repository on dev.horde.org. If you have a Horde CVS account, then you have SSH access to dev.horde.org and you can get a copy of hydra by doing:
git clone user@dev.horde.org:/horde/git/hydra hydra
... replacing "user" with your Horde CVS username. When you have changes to share, you can push them back to dev.horde.org with:
git push user@dev.horde.org:/horde/git/hydra
Pushes will not yet generate an email to commits@lists.horde.org, as the post-receive hook doesn't seem to be working. To add a shortcut so that you don't have to type the full repository path each time, you can do:
git remote add horde user@dev.horde.org:/horde/git/hydra

++ Description
+++ Draft specification
We need some sort of CMS to manage the content of the site and to make some areas user-editable like the current wiki. We may adopt an existing CMS, or we may adapt some of our own existing code. I propose that we create a new app similar to Wicked and the old Giapeto app, with the following feature list:
-
Support for different page content-types (wiki, HTML, textile)
-
a GUI HTML editor for html content pages
-
loki and fckeditor seem most promising so far for this; I want something that supports h1-h6, p, and tables at least - no , mostly semantic markup.
-
inline preview (instead of wicked's popup - can just be an overlay). only necessary for non-HTML
-
permissions like Wicked
-
implicit or explicit hierarchies based on / as a separator
-
use Horde_Routes for URL management
-
use Rdo for data classes
-
store versions of content like wicked does
++++ Layouts
-
use @ instead of $this-> for shorthand?
-
look at rails layouts
Page Object
Block
- how to return block from driver, inherit Block methods, but also inherit Rdo_Base
Mapper! Mappers are the drivers
++++ Horde_Text_Transformer
-
text_to_html
-
html_to_text
-
wiki_to_html
-
wiki_to_?
-
textile_to_html
Horde_Text_Transformer::transform($text, $from, $to = 'html');
-
finds the best transformer
-
if there's no exact match, sees if there's an intermediate through 'text' (i.e., textile_to_text goes from textile_to_html through html_to_text)
++++ Usage Roles
First guess
-
(anonymous) visitors
-
(logged in or anonymous) users that interact with application widgets (shop, wiki, whatever) on the front-end website side
-
(logged in) users/editors that generate content by direct interaction with the "horde desktop" and its applications like jonah, wicked in the traditional way
-
(logged in) site operators that can edit layouts, style sheets etc
-
(logged in) hydra application admins that can add new Websites etc
chuck suggested that the "horde desktop" role should be solely a content administration role.
End users should see a website that doesn't necessarily look like an application.
--Ralf Lang
CMS Suggestion: Add some native support for Horde_Blocks or a new kind of widget. That will encourage more people to build Blocks which one can integrate into Websites.Currently you only need few lines of code but if the CMS is going to be a new app for release, this may really push Horde deployment a step forward.See also the CMS module of egroupware which allows joomla templates to be used, and easily integrates all egroupware apps (but is a bit clumsy)
The page object will glue together a grid of widgets (plain html content widgets, hydra's own menu/navigation widget, horde app
block widgets, etc) with a style, header object, footer object etc to a page which can be rendered to a complete html page or other output type.
