Approach to Designing SolutionsStart with the Information Architecture•  Content Model•  Folder Structure•  Security/Permission ModelDefine functionality•  Define Webscripts•  Build out Services•  Expose Javascript APIs•  Build workflowsBuild the UI•  CRUD Screens•  Dashlets•  Forms

Some Things That I Picked Up Along the Way•  Do not lock yourself into the Collaboration Information Architecture if it is not appropriate•  Share is not easy – Allocate time to learn it if you are using it as a UI•  Remember that the Slingshot Webscripts are internal, do not write client code against them.•  Take the time to understand the configuration•  Learn how to Write YUI components.•  A lot of significant improvements were added in 4.0.

Coding Example•  We will cover some common customizations.•  We have an example that we will use in this talk and in tomorrow’s talk•  There are some missing pieces (YUI code).

Repository ExtensionsDocument Library Custom Response•  This allows the repository tier to return additional custom metadata about the repositoryProperty Decorators•  This alters the JSON format returned for nodes.Permissions List•  This allows you to control the list of permissions that are sent back for each document.

Web Tier ExtensionsStatus Indicators•  Gives the developer control over the icons that get displayed based upon each statusMetadata Templates•  Gives the developer the ability to define custom templates for each content typeActions•  This gives the developer the ability to control what actions are allowed for each document/folder.•  The actions can be filtered based upon permissionsClient dependencies•  Provides an easy way to add JavaScript and CSS to the web tier.
