Extensibility

When designing a platform for the future of content publishing, it's important to consider technologies or mediums that have yet to be invented. WoodWing's development took that into account. That's why the Enterprise publishing system features a powerful plugin architecture that allows end-users or resellers to extend the core system without compromising its stability. Plugins can be used to extend all parts of the Enterprise system - from access rights, to publishing outputs, as well as interfacing with other systems Custom code has full access to the Enterprise publishing system and can be enabled or disabled with the click of a button. Some examples include:
Plugins can even provide access to other content repositories like a fileshare, FotoWare system, or Reuters online feed. Since WoodWing does not limit a plugin's access to the server's business logic, the possibilities for customization are endless. Powerful plugins, no PhD required Other vendors will talk about Java or .NET when it comes to extending their core system. The problem with those approaches is that if one wants easy programming, it's not cross-platform. If one wants cross-platform capability, it requires high-end programmers and can possibly result in performance problems. PHP is the Web's most common programming language and it has been proven to be powerful and robust. The Enterprise publishing system uses PHP plugins to extend its capabilities, so no PhD is required. |
Activate and deactivate plugins with a single click The Enterprise publishing system allows plugins to be created and dropped into the system framework. In the administration pages, system managers can check on the status of plugins as well as activate or deactivate them.
