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 $this-> for shorthand?
look at rails layouts
Page Object
Block
Mapper! Mappers are the drivers
++++ Horde_Text_Transformer
text_to_html
html_to_text
wiki_to_html
wiki_to_?
textile_to_html
Horde_Text_Transformer::transform($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)
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)
