What a nice idea! Daniel Kasimirowicz, the main writer from the RedDot Usergroup blog has written a nice example how to use my last posted code for his intranet portal. The requirement was a language switch for english content, if this is given. Daniel just created the english pages inside the german language variant, inside […]
Here's just a small code snippet which will fight down some of your daily RedDot horror moments:
PLAIN TEXT
XML:
<reddot:cms>
<if>
<query valuea="<%opt_fieldtype%>" operator="==" valueb="String:optionOne">
<htmltext>Case one</htmltext>
</query>
<query type="else">
<if>
<query valuea="<%opt_fieldtype%>" operator="==" valueb="String:optionTwo">
<htmltext>Case Two</htmltext>
</query>

Craig from New York asked in the RedDot googlegroup if there is a way to build an imagemap in the RedDot CMS and make it editable by non-HTML knowing editors. I think for simple rectangle imagemaps it is. Here is my short summup of how I did it:
I added in the RedDotEditOnlyMode a DIV-Tag with [...]
Hello RedDot CMS partners! And hello RedDot developers! A little snippet to play with. Just for those who did not know until now.
For using RQL scripts outside of RedDot you have to copy the file "Reddot.CMS.Rql.dll" which can be found in "\RedDot\CMS\GAC"
"RedDot\CMS\ASP\bin".
After that "include" the DLL inside your Scriptpage (i prefer .NET) with:
PLAIN TEXT
C#:
using Reddot.CMS.Rql;
namespace [...]
Hello Mr. Cache, today I write you to inform you and your friends, Mr. Pagebuilder and Mrs. ProjectGUID, that I found your nest! And I also found the reason, why images referenced by other image elements via RQL are not shown in the RedDot CMS SmartEdit mode.
Yes it's simple and we both know that it [...]
Aufgrund einiger konkreter Fragen muss der Rückblick auf das RedDot Usergroup Treffen noch ein wenig warten. Ich führe dafür heute die Kategorie "best practice" ein. Hier werden meine Vorschläge für die bestmögliche Lösung von Aufgabenstellungen im CMS-Bereich präsentiert und zur Diskussion gestellt. Hierbei sei vorweg gesagt, es gibt nicht immer _die_ Lösung für alle Probleme. [...]
Die Redot Usergroup[1] veranstaltet mittlerweile ihre 16te Tagung und diesmal in Stuttgart. Ziel der RDUG ist es, ein Plenum für die Anwender der Produkte des Oldenburger Unternehmens zu bilden, Erfahrungen auszutauschen und in diesem Bereich das knüpfen von Kontakten zu ermöglichen.
Neben den angekündigten Themen wie Web 2.0 ok, Usability oder "User Centred-Design", ist für mich [...]
ATTENTION! update 2008-03-04 -- This workaround is no longer proposed! I tested it and it worked fine until you start sorting in navigation manager. After that the sorting result is completely different in the navigation manager than the sorting inside the list in RedDot CMS SmartTree view!
This proposed workaround came from RedDot itself. Thanks for [...]
Don't put a "<![CDATA[" between your rendertags even if the rendertag is the <htmltext>.
It will disable the renderprocess inside of the RedDot CMS.
This doesn't work:
<reddot:cms>
<if>
<query valuea="<%opt_body_class%>" operator="==" valueb="String:home">
<htmltext>
<div id="flashHeader"><img src="<%img_med_flash_alternative%>" alt="" /></div>
<script type="text/javascript">

I'm RedDot CMS developer for about 4 years and I'm a bit irritated, that there is so precious little free information or knowledgesharing on that topic.
J.G., german senior web developer
A note I read this week, from a web developer, working for a well known web agency. And I had to think, that he's right. Why [...]
