ftw.publisher.sender-2.2.0-1.lbn13.noarch

Introduction

The ftw.publisher packages provide tools for publishing plone contents from one instance to another.

By providing a simple mechanism to invoke the publishing, it's possible to set up the publisher in a variety of ways, such as workflow bound, manually invoked or automated publication.

The ftw.publisher package library also provides a variety of surveillance and analysis tools for making maintenance confortable.

Staging

The ftw.publisher is meant to be used in a environment where there are two seperate plone-sites which do not share their database. The editors work on a editorial site and the contents are published to a public site when they are ready. Setting up such an environment with ftw.publisher let you have a powerful staging solution with completly isolated instances.

Network security

Using an environment with two isolated installations makes it possible to protect the editorial site with firewalls or to put it even in a private company network. This way the editorial site is completly protected from the internet, which is in some use cases mandatory for protecting other - unpublished - contents (for example when publishing the internet contents from the intranet).

Component support

• Archetypes objects Standard Archetypes field types Topics: criterias are published automatically when topic is published Backreferences - references are added automatically as soon both objects are published Additional interfaces added on /manage_interfaces or by other products Contextual portlets Properties

With the publisher adapter structure it is as easy as creating another adapter to support other components. For instance annotations are not supported by design, because you may not want to publish all annotations but only certain ones. Therefore it is easyer to implement custom adapters for those annotations which need to be published.
