Forum OpenACS Q&A: CMS dynamic publishing

Collapse
Posted by Jun Yamog on
Hi,

After using CMS I have seen some fundamental problems with it.  Yes
there are other problems but I am trying to live with it.  When
publishing a content it writes to the file system the result of the
content and template combined.  This is good as accessing the page
becomes faster since no back-end processing is done anymore.  The bad
part about this is that when you change your template there is no way
that the pages are updated with the new template, unless you go to
each content and republish them.  The site used to
use ACS templating but I really would want CMS used.

Is there a way make CMS do publishing dynamically not writing to the
file system?  I remember this is what it used to do, not sure though.
Much like the preview where "/acs-content-repository/foo/bar".  I may
use the Host node map to hide "/acs-content-repository/" but there
must be another proper way to do this.

-OR-

Has someone already developed a "publish all" proc?  Goes to each
content item and republish them all.
Thanks
