NextCMS is an open source content management system built on Zend Framework and other tools. It features reusable data providers that allow content to be easily dragged and dropped between modules, eliminating the need for manual linking or popups. This simplifies tasks like uploading files and images, inserting links and content, and reusing data across the CMS. Developers can also create their own custom data providers and extensions.

2.  NextCMS is a content management, built on top of
zend framework, dojo toolkit, and jquery
 it is free and open source software
 this slide tell you one of many reasons why you should
choose NextCMS instead of other one

3. a few scenarios when you manage your website:
 insert link of a particular article to the article’s content
 upload a file and insert its link to the article’s content
 insert link of given category when build a menu
 search for photos that have been uploaded and use it as
article's cover, album’s cover, or video's poster
 … and many other cases

4. how it is done in other CMS (insert link of an article to other
article, for example)
 do it manually (bad)
1. search for the article in the front-end
2. copy its link
3. insert the link to other article’s content
 open a popup (better but not good enough)
1. open a popup window
2. search for the article
3. click the article to insert its link

5. we need a better way to:
 search for data and reuse it
 data can be taken across modules

6. menu
2 1
3
providers main layout
1. load the main layout of particular module dynamically (@developers: via ajax)
the providers are loaded only one time
2. open the providers from the main menu
3. drag data from the providers and drop to the main layout

7. 1. search 2. drag 3. drop
example: insert link of an attachment to the article’s content

8. example: upload new video
where to upload video’s poster?
Where are my upload buttons? where to upload video file?

9. example: upload new video
where to upload video file? let’s use the uploader

10. example: upload new video
where to upload video’s poster? let’s use the image/photo provider

11. @end-users
 we change user experiences
 we teach you a new, only one, and best way to reuse data
 whenever you want to reuse data, think about data provider
 the interface is cleaner and simpler (without uploading
buttons, popup windows, etc.)

12. @developers
 you do NOT have to duplicate your code for common
tasks (such as uploading, inserting common data, etc.)
 you can create your own providers (more details in the
extensibility section)

13. access the providers:
from the modules menu
from the toolbox tab

14. provide various kind of data:
 basic
file, image, link, video
 module specified
attachment, banner, photo, tag, user, video, widget
 provided by 3rd-parties

15. example of link provider: insert link of particular article
to the article’s content

16. example of link provider: set the link of particular
category to a menu item

17. example of file provider: browse and insert uploaded file
to the article’s content

18. example of uploader: upload and insert a file to the
article’s content

19. example of image provider: upload new image banner
please do NOT ask me where your
upload buttons are

20. example of image provider: upload an image and set it as
album’s cover

21. example of image provider: upload an image and set it as
article’s cover

22. example of photo provider: use a photo to set video's
poster

23. example of tag provider: tag an article

24. example of user provider: create a message filter that will
move all messages from same user to a folder

25. example of user provider: define the receivers when you
send new message

26. example of widget provider: insert a poll at the bottom
of article’s content

27. example of widget provider: insert a widget to a page

28. providers can be removed/reattached at anytime

29.  auto set article cover’s title after dropping an image
again: you will NOT see any upload buttons
in the additional panel

30.  auto set video’s title after dropping an uploaded video
again: you will NOT see any upload buttons
in the additional panel

31.  auto set menu item’s title after dropping a link

32.  auto set banner’s title after dropping a banner file
again: you will NOT see any upload buttons
in the additional panel

33.  uploader:
auto organize uploaded files based on current module

34. @developers: you can develop your own providers
 a provider actually is an extension
 support MVC

35.  support internationalization (i18n)
english
vietnamese

36.  it is possible to execute a javascript callback after dragging and dropping data
dojo.subscribe("/app/global/dnd/ dojo.publish("/app/global/dnd/
onDropLink", function(data) { onDropLink", [{
... url: linkUrl,
}); title: linkTitle,
source: sourceNode,
target: targetNode
}]);
example: auto set the title of menu item after dropping a link to the URL box
