orion.core.content

The orion.core.content service is used to define files that can be imported into a user's project folder. The service describes a contentURITemplate that can be imported into a folder. If the content is a zip file, it can be unzipped into the folder. If the content is to be generated by simply linking to another page, a uriTemplate can be used to specify the link instead of a contentURITemplate.

The user interface for this feature is not specified. The ability to generate content into a project may appear in multiple places.

Service methods

None. This service is purely declarative.

Service attributes

Implementations of orion.core.content may define the following attributes:

name

The user visible name of the content

id

The extension point id.

description

The user visible description which explains what the content contains.

uriTemplate

Optional. A URI Template that defines a link to another page that can generate the content. If this property is specified, then the contentURIProperty property will be ignored.

contentURITemplate

Optional. A URI Template that defines a link to content that should be imported into a project.

Example

Here is a sample plug-in that defines a content zip file that is colocated with the Orion plugin.

var provider = new orion.PluginProvider();
var temp = document.createElement('a');
temp.href = "testContent.zip";

provider.registerService("orion.core.content", null, {
	id: "orion.content.test",
	name: "Another Exemplary Sample Site",
	description: "Generate a sample site from Susan's test plugin.",
	contentURITemplate: temp.href
});
provider.connect();

When this plug-in is installed, the user will be offered "Another Exemplary Sample Site" as possible content for a project.
