Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment, described herein is a system and method for generation of starter websites. A content management system (CMS), such as for example, an Oracle Content and Experience Cloud (CEC) environment, can be provided. The content management system can include a site generator within the CMS. The site generator can receive a selection of content managed by the CMS, wherein the content includes data associated with the content. The site generator can determine, based on the data associated with the content, a layout of the content on a document. The site generator can generate machine readable code that, when interpreted or executed by a machine, causes the machine to produce a document including the content wherein the content is displayed in the determined layout.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for automatically generating starter sites, comprising:
a content management system (CMS) including a processor and memory;
a plurality of content-type software objects defined within the content management system, wherein each content-type software object represents a type of publishable content and the content management system manages dynamic content as content-type software objects; and
a site generator associated with the content management system, the site generator performing a method comprising:
receiving, from a user, a selection of dynamic content managed by the content management system as respective content-type software objects;
automatically determining, based on a metadata associated with content-type software objects corresponding to the selection of dynamic content, a layout of the selected dynamic content in a publishable content;
generating machine readable code of the publishable content; and
publishing the generated machine readable code to display the publishable content including the selected dynamic content managed by the content management system in the determined layout, wherein the generated machine readable code includes code to fetch live content from the content management system corresponding to the selected dynamic content for display as the publishable content.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the content management system comprises a set of features that allow a user to assemble the selected content into the publishable content.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the site generator receives instructions to use a first content-type software object in generating the machine readable code.

4. The system of claim 3 , wherein the site generator determines that the first content-type software object is associated with a site layout.

5. The system of claim 4 ,
wherein the site layout is a web blog; and
wherein the site generator generates code that produces a web blog format from the received selection of content.

6. The system of claim 4 ,
wherein the site layout comprise a multi-columned site; and
wherein the site generator generates code that produces a multi-column document from the received selection of content.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the site generator is operated from a command line as a command line tool that enables commands to be passed to it.

8. A method for automatically generating starter sites, comprising:
providing a content management system (CMS) including a processor and memory;
defining a plurality of content-type software objects within the content management system, wherein each content-type software object represents a type of publishable content and the content management system manages dynamic content as content-type software objects;
providing a site generator associated with the content management system;
receiving, from a user, by the site generator, a selection of dynamic content managed by the content management system as respective content-type software objects;
automatically determining, by the site generator, based on a metadata associated with content-type software objects corresponding to the dynamic content, a layout of the dynamic content in a publishable content;
generating, by the site generator, machine readable code of the publishable content; and
publishing, by the site generator, the generated machine readable code to display the publishable content including the dynamic content managed by the content management system in the determined layout, wherein the generated machine readable code includes code to fetch live content from the content management system corresponding to the selected dynamic content for display as the publishable content.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the content management system comprises a set of features that allow a user to assemble the selected content into the publishable content.

10. The method of claim 8 wherein the site generator receives instructions to use a first content-type software object in generating the machine readable code.

11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the site generator determines that the first content-type software object is associated with a site layout.

12. The system of method 11 ,
wherein the site layout is a web blog; and
wherein the site generator generates code that produces a web blog format from the received selection of content.

13. The method of claim 11 ,
wherein the site layout comprise a multi-columned site; and
wherein the site generator generates code that produces a multi-column document from the received selection of content.

14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the site generator is operated from a command line as a command line tool that enables commands to be passed to it.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having instructions thereon for automatically generating starter sites, which when read and executed by cause a computer to perform steps comprising:
providing a content management system (CMS) including a processor and memory;
defining a plurality of content-type software objects within the content management system, wherein each content-type software object represents a type of publishable content and the content management system manages dynamic content as content-type software objects;
providing a site generator associated with the content management system;
receiving, by the site generator from a user, a selection of dynamic content managed by the content management system as respective content-type software objects;
automatically determining, by the site generator, based on a metadata associated with content-type software objects corresponding to the dynamic content, a layout of the dynamic content in a publishable content;
generating, by the site generator, machine readable code of the publishable content; and
publishing, by the site generator, the generated machine readable code to display the publishable content including the dynamic content managed by the content management system in the determined layout, wherein the generated machine readable code includes code to fetch live content from the content management system corresponding to the selected dynamic content for display as the publishable content.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the content management system comprises a set of features that allow a user to assemble the selected content into the publishable content.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the site generator receives instructions to use the first content-type software object for use in generating the machine readable code.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 17 , wherein the site generator determines that the first content-type software object is associated with a site layout.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of method 18 ,
wherein the site layout is a web blog; and
wherein the site generator generates code that produces a web blog format from the received selection of content.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 18 ,
wherein the site layout comprise a multi-columned site; and
wherein the site generator generates code that produces a multi-column document from the received selection of content.
