Elegant Content Sharing: RIP Feeds, Hello Large-Scale Content Syndication!
If you have more than one site you may have come across an issue with duplicate content or worse -- the mundane task of having to copy and paste your article several times only to have to update it all shortly thereafter. Old legacy solutions such as feeds and feed importers are just not flexible or powerful enough for your organization’s requirements.
Now get ready to say hello to modern content sharing through REST based services.
Intended Audience:
This is intended for site owners with multiple websites to manage or anyone with a network of drupal websites.
Questions Answered:
- How can I share content to my other websites?
- How do you handle content relationships?
- Who has permissions over my content once it is shared?
- Do I have to follow the same template on all of my websites?
- What type of content sharing strategy works for me?
Comments
This talk sounds interesting, I have noticed that a lot of big projects eventually involve content syndication, and sometimes feeds solutions gradually get more complex until they are a mess. I do have one question - why is this session in the UX track ?
Not only have we done some significant code writing we have done a number of things to improve the UX for both side admins and content contributors in the content sharing world.
This is a really interesting subject, nowadays I fell multisite websites not being enough anymore to supply all demand for syndication content, having the ability to centralize your content allowing predefined websites/installations to load data from this central point it is a really good solution.
In Drupal 7 this is still one of the major pain points for me when it comes to bigger projects. I'm definitely interested to see your solution.
This sounds like a much more fully featured solution than the deploy module which I'm using to share contents across dev-stage-prod. Excited to see how this module will continue to grow and complement development workflows.
I would really like to see this! Taking content from a syndication-dedicated site and perpetuating it throughout multiple other sites (maybe a hook_menu() piece?).
This sounds like a very interesting topic. I have been coming across more and more projects with a requirement to sync content between main/sub sites. I would love to learn more elegant solutions for this.
Syndication through API is how the big boys do it. I want to see this session get in.
