LibertyPackage

Explanation of the CMS Content Engine

Created by: spiderr,Last modification on 10 Oct 2007 [09:32 UTC] by xing
The attachment id given is not valid. Liberty Package is the heart of bitweaver's content management system. Liberty provides fundamental functionality and utility to all content built on Liberty. Liberty provides both a universal database table that all Liberty derived content is stored in, as well as a collection of features all Liberty derived content can use.

The Liberty database table stores common data such as content Title, Description, and page Data, as well as Creation and Modification dates and authors for all content. By holding all the text data for various content in one column, bitweaver achieves super fast searching, as well as simplified data storage/retrieval & text processing. But Liberty goes a step further than that.

Liberty provides a number of useful enhancements to content. Liberty is a base class that various content (blogs, wiki pages, articles, map content, etc) is built on. Through this class all content has access to Liberty's various text parsers, its image attachment utilities, its commenting utility, and the storage of historical changes (all Liberty based content automatically has a history like wiki pages traditionally do!).

Here is a conceptual image that shows how Liberty and other btiweaver packages inter-relate:

A format plugin mechanism permits the text to be of varying syntax types (TikiWiki, HTML, BBCode, Wikipedia (aka MediaWiki), XML, text, etc...).
Currently there are plugins for:
  • Wiki format
  • HTML

There is also a highly flexible mechanism for attaching *any* id driven mechanism to content - this is call TikiStorage. The storage types are handled completely through Liberty storage plugins. Tutorial - Liberty Plugins

Here is a diagram of how the Tables interface (note this diagram was prior to ReleaseOne and the names have changed in ReleaseTwo, however the ideas are largely still the same):

Liberty seems to be powerful, yet I don't know how to make use of it.

What I'd like to read about here is the Liberty data classes (LibertyAttachable, LibertyBase, LibertyComment, LibertyStructure, LibertySystem) and when to subclass which.

When will the design be locked down?

by Jan Lindåker, Thursday 07 of October, 2004 [15:43:36 UTC]
On the bitweaver Mailing list, there has been a lot of advertizing about that the Database scheme will be locked down. This is of course important for a specific release (should perhapps go inte the release process). But from a Plugin developper standpoint this is "totally" uninteresting. The developper is only interested in if the API's are locked down or not. How will this be facilated(:question:)
