The "Create publication" web interface is not intended for development,
rather to create new publication instances in a production environment.
So what do I “develop” then? I thought, I develop a publication. Do I
develop a “publication template” or whatever which can be instantiated
several times?
Yes, this is a typical application scenario. The publication templating
feature is targeted for large organisations like universities. They
provide a template which is instanciated for all their departements.
But I thought that a template *is* a (special kind of) publication.
Yes, this is true.
Could you please tell me what
* a publication
Originally, a publication was a collection of content objects and a set
of functions (in 1.2 tasks, in 2.0 usecases). In 2.0, these aspects have
been separated for better reusability and maintainability. But you can
still have both (content and function declarations) in one publication
(if you don't need publication templating).
* a publication template
A publication template is a publication which defines the fundamental
presentation and behaviour for other publications. In fact, every
publication can be a template if it provides an instantiator. A
publication template may contain content, but I wouldn't recommend this
for SoC reasons. For each template, an arbitrary number of instances can
be created. Changes to all fallback-referenced resources in the template
will be visible in all instances.
* a publication instance
A publication instance is a publication which contains only data and
configuration. The functions and layout are defined by its template
publication. It is possible, though, to declare certain additional
functions or override functions and rendering components (sitemaps,
XSLTs, …) of the template publication.
