Tag cloud
David – Mini CMS on Apache Sling
A GSoC 2010 project
Last progress
There are some functionalities that I finally completed
- PDF export of the article (using the PDF icon in the articles list)
- PDF export of the whole repository (using the link ‘Export list’ link in the articles list)
- Tags saved as multi value property
- Tags saved in a redundant structure as described here https://davidgsoc.wordpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/tag-jcr-structure.png
- Tag cloud in the home of application, using the WP-Cumulus SWF (http://www.roytanck.com/2008/03/06/wordpress-plugin-wp-cumulus-flash-based-tag-cloud/). The tag cloud is updated in a short time when I submit the article, so I think the redudant structure is useful
- Tag cloud navigation. When you click on a tag you’ll see a list of articles that use this tag (a simple ESP script)
And now some screenshots about these functionalities

In the next weeks I’ll probably work on refactoring code and creating some documentation, useful to understand what I used from Apache Sling and how.
Tagging system
I’m now working on the tagging system for David.
It’s a simple one, some tags related to the article are saved as a multi-value property on the article node.
I also want to create a redundant structure to manage in a faster way the visualization of a tag cloud.
The possible implementation is described in the next image
A logo?
Yes…I have already said it’s too late, but I was thinking that the homepage of David is a little naked.
So joking a little a create a stupid logo, just to have one 🙂
Don’t tell me why I decided the Rubik cube, I don’t know why 🙂
Finally CRUD
I finally completed the CRUD on David. A simple one of course, but a functional one.
The last commit on SVN was about the delete action, that was developed using a simple AJAX call with jQuery and modal dialog to proceed with the operation.
I have also other pending items to commit in the SVN, like the search and a PDF version of the entry…but it’s too late, tomorrow I’ll do it.
Quite CRUD…
I’m a little stuck with jQuery and CKEditor but finally I understand how to POST a full HTML entry, as you can see from the image below
I say “quite” because I don’t develop the DELETE operation. I have a doubt about the best solution using a JS call (jQuery, sling.js).
Anyway I updated the SVN with these changes.
First commit on SVN
I published a first commit on SVN of googlecode.
It’s a simple example for the moment, but I think that step by step it will evolve towards something interesting.
You can find it in google code : http://code.google.com/p/davidgsoc2010/
I have some doubts about different things so I hope the sling dev list will help me 🙂
