What kinds of customization hooks will there be for the published web site?
Is it based on JET templates?

Thanks.

Bump, anyone?

What kinds of hooks are there (or will there be) to customize the published
web site, besides the basic things like banner image and feedback URL?

e.g. is it possible to automatically include content such as hyperlinks
within some HTML content chunk, where the details of that link are
determined from the epf object the content is built from? This kind of
customization would be possible if the published site is built using
something like a JET template.

Thanks.

We will provide an extension framework in m4 to allow customized
publishing. User can use the extension point to customize the publishing
wizard as well as the content. Please let us know if you have any suggestion
on this.

Thanks,

Jinhua

Roughly in decreasing order of importance:

===============
- Can add content that is derived from the underlying object model

e.g. for any epf Task t, allow to insert a fragment like:

<a href="custom/url/with/{{t.name}}"> custom_link </a>

===============
- Can do so at all applicable granularities of the generated site

===============
- Can do so with fragments of HTML and expression-level fragments of code
(presumably Java) similar to JET, without having to write additional
boilerplate Java class code.

===============
- Can override or replace selected parts of the generated site. The current
logo facility would be one simple example of this.

===============
- Can do as much as possible of this within EPF itself. For example, some
web site customizations might need additional user-specific properties that
they would like to add to their model.
e.g. if I have Tasks "Do_Foo" and "Do_Bar", I may want to add a custom
property to each with:
Do_Foo.propx = "abc"
DO_Bar.propx = "def"

EPF should allow the addition of such user-specific properties on instances
directly within EPF itself

===============

Does that help?

Thanks!
