OpenCms 10 has been released March 23, 2016. OpenCms is an open source website CMS system based on Java and XML which is in active development and continuously being improved since it’s initial release in the year 2000.

The new version 10 of OpenCms greatly improves the usability for content managers and offers interesting new features for template developers.

Important new features in OpenCms Version 10 at a glance

• Improved and modernized the look & feel of the user workplace interface.
• Introduced the Launchpad as the central starting place.
• Framework to extend the OpenCms workplace with custom apps.
• New file explorer with support for column sorting, filtering and drag & drop.
• Drag and Drop of images directly in the page editor.
• Reuse groups allow reusing nested content structures on several pages.
• Git app allows pushing and pulling of module content directly from the workplace.
• Highly customizable “Apollo” default template based on Bootstrap.

Intuitive user interface

The user interface of OpenCms 10 aims to make web page creation as easy and intuitive as possible. It can be summarized by “Visual composition”, “Drag and drop” and “Inline Editing”.

Users creating content for web pages can do so on the fly while browsing the website. All necessary edit controls are displayed as overlays. Most users never need to leave the website for their editing task. Text and images can be created and edited “inline” directly on the web page.

OpenCms 10 offers a fine grained role concept which allows detailed control of the CMS features made available for each user. Access to the Sitemap Editor, the Template Editor or the full featured administrative back office is managed though these roles.

Suited for enterprise usage

OpenCms is in widespread use by organizations that are looking for an easy to use, full featured, and cost effective solution that integrates well into their
IT infrastructure. Since OpenCms is based on the Java platform, multiple extensions for enterprise integration are readily available. Moreover, OpenCms
is offered under the LGPL open source license, which allows for unlimited usage in commercial applications.

OpenCms is well also suited to provide a CMS component for web based applications. In such a scenario, OpenCms can manage the overall layout, navigation structure and static content which is integrated with dynamic enterprise specific functionality. To facilitate this, OpenCms supports several standard connection protocols such as CMIS, WebDAV and SMB/CIFS.

Technology stack

OpenCms is based on well known Java and JavaScript open source components such as SOLR, Vaadin, GWT and TinyMCE to name just a few. It supports every major database for the content repository and runs on a modern application server like e.g. Tomcat, WebSphere, WildFly, GlassFish or WebLogic.

To create a functional elements in OpenCms, a developer uses XML schemas and JSP pages with tag libraries to build templates, structured content definitions and output formatters. OpenCms 10 also allows the creation of templates without programming using a special template editor.

Open Source community

The open source development of OpenCms is coordinated through GitHub at http://github.com/alkacon/opencms-core/. More than 60 developers have
contributed to OpenCms; the code base consists of more than 1 million lines of code. Because of the clear focus on Java and the professional enterprise as a target group, OpenCms has a small, but active user community. The OpenCms community annually meets at the “OpenCms Days” user conference. Here OpenCms enthusiasts from many different countries present their projects. The next OpenCms Days conference is scheduled for September 26-27, 2016. More information and Tickets are available at http://opencms-days.org.

Summary

OpenCms is an open source website CMS which is well suited for organizations that are looking for an easy to use, full featured, and cost effective solution
based on the Java platform.

The latest version 10, available since end of March 2016, greatly improves the user interface and ships with a highly configurable standard Template based on Bootstrap.

The next OpenCms user conference will be held September 24-25 in Cologne, Germany.

Im Vorfeld zum vierten IT&Media Future Congress sprachen die Macher mit unserem Flight Controller Fabian Huschka zum Thema Portale, Wissen und Transfer:

"componio steht für Komponenten und interaktive Objekte. Das Unternehmen baut Portale, die Informationen individuell und übergreifend verfügbar machen. Unternehmen produzieren und verwalten heute Daten aus verschiedenen Quellen und mit unterschiedlichsten Eigenschaften. Cloud, Webseiten, Datenbanken, Wikis, soziale Netzwerke und weitere Datentöpfe beherbergen unabhängig voneinander Informationen. Das Unternehmen entwickelt Softwareportale und Webanwendungen, die versuchen, diesen Informationsschatz im Unternehmen individuell zu heben und zielgerichtet zur Verfügung zu stellen; explizites Wissen entsteht.
