Is it closer to webisite-pathalias implementation in ofbiz. I found about
pathalias in Content->CMS.

Re: Best practices to show banners

[Deepak Agarwal <da...@gmail.com>]

While thinking of cms I am thinking in following way:

1) What to show
2) Where to show
3) How to show

*What to show:*
 As I look into ofbiz and bigfish, each has their own way to define it. In
my opinion I have following thoughts:
   a) Content Purpose -> This is to ensure what we are looking for. Lets
say purpose is : BANNER, NEWS, FAQ, WEB_PAGE. So, If I have a menu in my
erp application saying 'Manage Banners' then I will fetch all content whose
purpose is set to 'BANNER'

  Now, what hirerachy I am setting up
        WEBSTORE_CNT (PUBLISH_POINT )
                            |
                            |
               WEB_STATIC_CONTENT
                            |

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
         |                                        |
         |
    BANNER_STATIC                  NEWS                      FAQ
         |
------------------------------------------
|                                         |
BANNER_TYPE_1            BANNER_TYPE_2
 (Attr imgWidth, imgHeight)
         |
----------------------
|                     |
Banner1        Banner2

Here, all my cms related configurational content goes under
WEB_STATIC_CONTENT hirerachy (It is a top most root under my publish point)
All these are my content Ids. Under BANNER_STATIC I have baaner types which
basically sets banner size in them as attribute. So, every banner I add
should go under any of these types (banner_type_1, banner_type_2).

*How to show:*
* *This becomes very specific to as what we are showing. I think writing
macros would be a better choice for this. @renderBanner , @renderNews

*Where to show:*
I am still evaluating as in how to connect my content out of the box to the
layouts. What I really want is that after adding the banner I want user to
choose the places where
          a) This banner is eligible to be shown (based on it's size)
 This brings a question how to define these places.

can you maybe explain it more detailed what you mean? Is it easier with that
to place banner's on ecommerce site?

greetings
