HTML document.
6.3.3 Edge Animate and DPS
Frequently, Edge Animate compositions are used in web content management
systems (WCMS). Compositions can be integrated into content pages or page
templates on the code level, as previously described. Since the strength of a
WCMS is the significant simplification of additions or modification of text and
media files through a user interface, there are already preliminary attempts
to offer this functionality for Edge Animate compositions. Under the
Edge Com-
mons—Dirty Little Helpers for Edge Animate
, my colleague, Timm Jansen, has
developed two plug-ins/modules that make publishing Edge Animate compo-
sitions in the WordPress and Drupal systems astoundingly easy. The modules not
only allow the use of any number of compositions on your website, they also
take over all file handling.
I will only be discussing the highly popular WordPress blog system here; how-
ever, http://www.edgedocks.com/edgecommons has more information on the
Drupal module, which, at the time of writing, was already better than WordPress
in terms of functionality. For example, the Data Injection feature is already sup-
ported in Drupal, which allows the injection of dynamic data into compositions.
Let's take a closer look at the workflow with Edge Animate and WordPress. The
aim of this sample project is to use an Edge Animate composition to enhance
a simple post on a newly created Wordpress blog. This is easy to do since both
elements are completely based on web standards, and all functions (interactivi-
ty, etc.) in our Edge Animate composition are maintained. The final result should
look as follows:

WCMS
Web content management systems
are software for community creation,
editing, and organizing of content
on a website. A basic principle of
WCMS is the strict separation of
content, design, and function.
