One of the main causes, why I don't make the application frame
work or however you call it is, the lack of security.
As soon as an application becomes open source, hackers and frauders
can take time, to check out billing processes user management and
many other things.
Spectral is loading before any login can proceed allready the rights
management system, which has to load all possible rights into the
session before the logon can get fullfilled.
Every button and every function of spectral can get enabled or dis-
abled. So its a large session :))
But I believe this is a secure way to do it.
And as a matter of fact I looked up the subject application framework
at wikipedia and yes, spectral is still an application framework, while
I took very much time in the development of cms like modules.
The modules are all different like in other system structured in single
folders like:
modules/content_mm/classes
modules/content_mm/elements
modules/content_mm/frontends
modules/content_mm/templates
modules/asset_mm/classes
modules/asset_mm/frontends
modules/asset_mm/elements
and so forth.
A Frontend simply looks like that:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<frontend doctype="form" action="forum_sub_topic_add" module="forum_mm"
linktype="sub">
<frontend_head>forum_sub_topic_add</frontend_head>
<frontend_elements>
<forum_category_selector type="element"
src="forum_main_category_selector"
module="forum_mm"></forum_category_selector>
<forum_topic_name type="text" size="69"
maxlength="100"></forum_topic_name>
<forum_topic_desc type="textarea" rows="6"
cols="66"></forum_topic_desc>
<forum_sub_topic_add type="nav" align="right" style="button"
highlight="yes"></forum_sub_topic_add>
</frontend_elements>
</frontend>
without the line breaks :))
Its including a simple php script as element which is not found in
the HTML Specification and shows a couple of form elements like they
are found in the html specification and as well its showing an
button with the complete functionality needed.
To develop a new module takes only round about two days.
To set up a complete standard dot-com can get done in about two days
as well, if there is a project specific functionality needed, you can
do it in about two weeks, comming on to the amount of needed functio-
nalty.
I made use of the autoload functionality of PHP5 pretty much, so all
classes are autoloaded. The heart of spectral is consisting of only
three files used as matrix to decide which class methods should get
called or which content module should get loaded to load the contents
from the databases.
Mh, I came in mind of something.
Spectral is using one single datawarehouse solution for all webplatt-
forms developed with it. Its still possible to set up new dataware-
houses, but its made to build up a large number of international web-
sites using datasets from one single datawarehouse.
If I take insurances as an example there might be ten different kind of
insurances which could get grouped in the corresponding number of cate-
gories. One category is good for a car website another one for an real
estate website, the other one for a health service.
I allready thought about to open up the possibility to allow people to
use spectral for building up they're websites, while trying to arrange
the licence in a way, everybody has to store the used informations,
which means product descriptions, articles, advertisements and so on
in one single datawarehouse solution, so the contents can get used
on a hole bunch of sites.
What do you think about something like that?
Mh, now i decided to send out, what I wrote allready to one of the
other php guru's in here. I hope god will not bite my in my ass at
the late end.
The system is installing its content databases completely on its own.
You can delete one of the tables, which are getting used by the cms
modules as a kind of file allocation table, and by button press all
datasets are read from the file system back into the tables again.
You can install as many content modules you like, and hook them
into an existing content module as submodules, which causes a
possible maximum category level of tvelve.
As you can use an unlimited number of those modules, you can
please as many content modules aside of eachother in this
category level pattern.
As the blog the forum and the weblogs are storing they're infor-
mations in the exactly same data format as the content modules
even the forum, or blogs or the shop, can get put in any of the
category levels, which are on the late end building the file-
system structure.
Its possible to place chart diagrams, videos pictures and what
so ever in any of the documents, which means you can place chart
diagrams even in blogs.
The user management is working plattform independent, which means,
that your users could open up an account at website A and import
the complete user informations in website B, C, D.
If the user changes the userdata on website B its changed in all
other websites. But its still possible for the user to decide, to
take is userprofile out of the gobal account storage, so work
with it again, plattform oriented.
The media asset management system included is working as a fat
client application, which means, if you want to tag an asset
you can simply click an asset, select the add description entry
type the text in an ajax dragable layer popup, press the submit
button, the submit is done in the background.
If you decide to delete one of the assets, you can simply press
the delete button, the page is not getting refreshed, but the
asset list is getting updated, immidiatly.
The preview images are shown in dragable layers, as well as
the video's. The webmail service as well as the vcard driven
addressbook is working with ajax driven movable layers, which
offer maximum comfort in usability.
The possition of any of those layers are stored permanent on
the webserver, if the user is draging the a layer somewhere,
closes the browser window, so the session is closed and re-
turns, opens the layer again, the layer apears at exactly the
same spot the user left it.
As mailsystem is decided to use DBMail.
I developed a internat marketing tool which is keeping 14.000
addresses of webkatalogs, to make it possible to market a web-
site right at its startup to a level of at least 10.000 Back-
links.
Every user of my system can create an own user homepage as
seen as myspace, but with much much more comfort, because
a complete content editor, consisting of a free arrangement
of an unlimited number of content elements.
The editor is very nice to use, even for none designers.
The datastorage is organised in one single datawarehouse for
at the moment six websites, so as the matter of fact, contents
from one website can easely appear on any of the other web-
sites.
If you would check out the source code once in a while, you
will see, that all the frontends are using xml as a frontend
templating and form engine, which is very easy to use.
Only knowledge of xml is needed to create new forms. Elements
not available in the html specification can get included as
a php script, with ajax and everything.
The question catalog management system included, is enabling
the question catalog managers to add followup catalogs to
each of the given answers. Which means, that you can make
a question catalog constisting of yes and no as answers
if you click yes, the yes catalog is loaded, which can
spread in another catalog tree which again can spread in
a catalog tree.
If muliple selects could get made answering a question
catalog, the folloups are placed right after eachother
making it possible to answer these question catalogs
in row. If during this linear offworking a new catalog
is added as followup, its not placed at the end, but
is getting placed right after the actuall answered
catalog.
And as needed, not only question catalogs can get used
as followups, but any kind of content of the content
management modules as any kind of application parts.
A cronjob management system is helping to automatize
any task in the system.
The spectral authoring system is the only application
worldwide having the ability to decide over a neural
networks if contents are suiting to the personal needs
of a person.
And for example over the workflow management system
the system can automatically decide, which job or task
can get best done by specific authors in the system.
