§ Take advantage of the STK § Platform advantages – filters, PUR, i18n, extend § Magnolia configures integration with other systems The challenge – getting both developers and business to think this way
11
How Do We Get There? Think the “Magnolia Way”

13 Version 1.1 Magnolia is a registered trademark owned by Magnolia International Ltd.
Sector Pages (Search Integration)
14
Sector Pages - Example
Version 1.1 Magnolia is a registered trademark owned by Magnolia International Ltd.
On the Global Web Site: § pages are configured in XML files as part of Spring MVC § requires a full release cycle to add a sector § CMS content is managed externally – an editor cannot see how the content integrates with the site until after publishing On the Regional Site Platform : § pages are configured in Magnolia § editors see the content integrated immediately § Search parameters are configured in Magnolia STK dialogs and site
configurations

Sector Pages – Sector Configuration
Version 1.1 Magnolia is a registered trademark owned by Magnolia International Ltd.
Sector Navigation Parameter controls the sector. It’s a search engine specific ID that does not change. A new sector can be created simply by applying a different sector parameter.
18
Sector Pages – Site Content Configuration

Endeca provides a filter for queries based on the content. We added that as a parameter in the Site Configuration.
19
Sector Pages – Sample Code

String sectorSiteParam = (String) site.getParameters().get("sectorSiteParam"); String sectorSectorParam = PropertyUtil.getString(content, "sectorSectorParam"); this.endecaSearchRequest = new EndecaSearchRequest(sectorSiteParam, sectorSectorParam, sectorNumberIssuers, sectorNumberResearch, sectorPageType);

Success!

All or nothing?
Cherry pick Use whatever is there
Don’t reinvent the wheel!
§ Current problem: Usability / UX § Too much and volatile to import the data § The annoying part are the navigation IDs § But – they’re static! § Cherry pick – just import the updated Endeca IDs and corresponding
descriptions into Magnolia § Make Sector IDs and other navigation IDs selectable from within
Magnolia § Human readable

Extending the Public User Registration Module
Magnolia comes with a great module for managing public user registration (the PUR). The (PUR) module had everything we wanted. § Pre-fab forms and classes that integrate with the STK § Authentication § Access Control But…

Public User Registration – The Solution
Version 1.1 Magnolia is a registered trademark owned by Magnolia International Ltd.
Extended the PUR to use our own User Management System § Reuse PUR components § Update Jboss to add a Fitch User
Management Realm § FitchLoginModule extends
AbstractLoginModule § Implement our own UserManager and
AbstractUser § Provide custom behavior:
§ Terms of Use filter § Validate user with Fitch-generated
token
Terms of User Filter: If (user != null) {
String termsOfUse = user.getProperty("termsOfUse"); if (termsOfUse != null) { if (termsOfUse.equals("0")) { response.sendRedirect(MgnlContext.getContextPath() + "/" + uriArray[1] + "/users-area/terms-of-use.html"); } }
}

Public User Registration – Sample Code
