Implementing SDL Web
Implement SDL Web to configure, customize and extend the platform features to fit with your organization and its requirements.
- Content Manager implementation
Content Manager features encompass the Content Manager items you need to create and secure so that end-users can create, assemble, and publish content. - Content Manager extension points
Content Manager extension points are the APIs you can use to implement Content Manager functionality: you can use the TOM.NET API for developing templating and Event Handler and Workflow, the Content Manager Explorer extension API to add custom controls and behavior to the GUI, and the Core Service API to interact with the Content Manager from a third-party application or third-party GUI. - Experience Manager implementation
Implementing Experience Manager involves modifying your Templates to add controls to the published Web site that let users modify, move or add content, configuring the look and feel, configuring an administrative user or an alternative BluePrint structure, and extending the user interface with custom controls. - Templating
Templates turn Content Manager content into publishable content. A Template contains a sequence of modular chunks called Template Building Blocks. Each Template Building Block performs a specific role in turning the content into published content. - Implementing publishing
This section explains the business logic of publishing, as well asl how to configure publishing for your organization after you have set up the publishing framework during installation. - Implementing Topology Manager
This section explains how to implement your business logic in Topology Manager. - WebDAV client
Set up a WebDAV client to navigate through Publications and Folders as if they were Windows folders, and to add, edit, delete, and move Schemas, Components, Multimedia Components, and Templates as if they were part of a Windows file system. The WebDAV client communicates with the WebDAV Connector on the Content Manager server. You installed and configured the WebDAV Connector as part of the basic installation. - Content Delivery implementation
Content Delivery provides modules for getting content out of the Content Manager and on to the Presentation Server and APIs for implementing dynamic Web site functionality. - Implementing Audience Manager
Audience Manager enables marketing departments to gather information about audiences, such as interests and characteristics. You can configure and implement Audience Manager to make it meet the demands of your organization. You can also extend it using its extension points. - Implementing Translation Manager
Translation Manager allows you to send content stored in the Content Manager of SDL Web for translation to a translation management system (SDL World Server or SDL TMS). This section explains how to make Translation Manager work in your business environment. - Implementing Experience Optimization
This section describes how to implement Experience Optimization functionality in your templates so that marketers can create and manage targeted and personalized content using Experience Optimization. - Implementing UGC
User Generated Content (UGC) allows visitors of your Web site to submit ratings and comments, and to enable your moderators to moderate the submitted comments. Implement User Generated Content to make the feature work according to your organization's business logic. - Context Expression Extension
The Context Expression Extension makes analysis data available for use on your SDL Web-based Web site, and is used in combination with the SDL Digital Experience Accelerator (DXA) add-on product, specifically the Context Expression Module.
