Implementing SDL Tridion
Implement SDL Tridion to configure, customize and extend the platform features to fit with your organization and its requirements.
- Content Delivery API namespaces and Java packages
Content Delivery modules turn the content in your Content Manager into a fully-functional, dynamic Web site. - 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. - 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 Distribution
Content Distribution is the process of getting content out of the Content Manager and on to the Presentation Server. To implement Content Distribution on the Content Manager Server, perform configuration tasks on both sides. - Content Delivery
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. - Audience Manager and Outbound E-mail
Audience Manager enables marketing departments to gather information about audiences, such as interests and characteristics. Outbound E-mail is for marketing departments that need to implement and manage e-mail communication campaigns. This section describes how to install and implement Audience Manager and Outbound E-mail. - Translation Manager
Translation Manager allows you to send content stored in the Content Manager of SDL Tridion for translation to a translation management system (World Server or SDL TMS). This section describes how to install and implement Translation Manager. - User Generated Content
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. This section describes how to install and implement User Generated Content. - Context Expression Extension
The Context Expression Extension makes campaign management and analysis data, compiled by the SDL Intelligent Marketing Suite (also called CMA), available for use on your SDL Tridion-based Web site. To use the Context Expression Extension, you must have an integration with CMA set up.
