Dear Jahia Community Members,
This is our last community newsletter for 2009, giving you an overview of the major enhancement achieved by the team. The main focus during this sprint was on the Jahia back-end system but several key front-end functionalities have been added as well. We have implemented new services, which both improve the general velocity of the R&D team and will ease the life of our integrating partners.
At the same time we launched the first service pack for Jahia EE v6 followed by new documentation and guidelines.
Lastly we would like to wish you all a very happy holiday season and look forward to a prosperous New Year for all of you.
The Jahia R&D team
New features
Jahia Metrics/logging framework
A new framework has been introduced in Jahia's backend to allow high frequency logging of events, such as object per user and per session access. They can then, be processed to produce either reports of the most accessed objects or other types of statistics such as global analytics reports or audit trails. An example using this new framework is a lightweight "recommendation engine" (similar to product recommendation engines of e-commerce sites such as amazon.com) that allows users to get recommendations on content such as "Other users that have viewed this content have also viewed...". This framework is also designed to work well with high traffic systems and be compatible with clustering. This framework is of course designed to be easily extensible by integrators that may expand it to fit the needs of their customers.
Jahia Media Gallery
During the last sprint the R&D team worked to add new advanced rendering views for content lists, regardless of their specific type (events, news, texts, photos, mix of several types in the same list, etc.). Two new views have been introduced: a lighbox gallery and a slider view, both using the famous JQuery scripts. Authors can now easily switch from one view to another on a same list, and build for instance media galleries or sliding teasers in few minutes just by drag and dropping content in a list and applying the appropriate view. Thanks to the use of JQuery and standard templating mechanisms, those new views are fully customizable or extensible by integrators.
