Forum OpenACS Development: acs-content?

Collapse
Posted by Lars Pind on
Here's a quote from the design document:

---

Currently there is a content repository system, or CR, provided with the ACS Development platform. It has a lot of useful features, such as support for revisions, containers, and search capabilities, and is great for most publishing tasks. Unfortunately, it has a lot of overhead for certain applications that do not require such capabilities. For example, a phone book application would only need the search capability. In order to use the search capability, the phone book application would have to build on top of the current CR architecture.

Is acs-content recommended? Used? Maintained?

It's currently part of acs-core, and installed by default. If this is a deprecated package, then we should get rid of it.

Does anybody know?

As far as I remember it is an important part of the architecture of the site-wide-search package (the oracle only search package), and the fact that there is no oracle driver for the new search package might be it's only reason for its existance.
