12. pimcore • Since 2010 • OpenSource / BSD license • Austrian company elements.at • ExtJS backend • Zend Framework 1 based
13. Features • Responsive UI • WYSIWYG, image manipulation • Drag & drop • L10n (Frontend/Backend + GUI) • Versioning • User / roles / permissions
14. Under the hood • Image / video processing pipelines • DB/UI designer, PHP code generation • Extensible plugin system • Caching / optimizing output • Multi-site capable • Interfaces: WebDAV, SOAP, CSV, GA
15. Structure 1. Documents - Pages 2. Assets - Files, images 3. Objects - Database records 4. Properties
16. "sounds cool."
17. (there is no silver bullet) not entirely.
18. No frontend components. ... but: • Zend Framework MVC • PHP views + view helpers • Simple elements: ◦ text, image, textarea, link • loops, re-usable blocks
19. Example: Template - "Editables" <div class="logo"> <?= $this->image("logoImage") ?> <div> <div class="content"> <?= $this->textarea("contentText") ?> <div>
20. UI / Objects / Database designer • Define forms easy like "Access" • "PhpMyAdmin on steroids" • Auto-generated ORM PHP code • Weird structure "object_12" • De-normalized, missing indexes • Filesystem dependencies
21. #FAIL Filesystem-driven => collaborative development is hard Sequence-ID vs. GUID => content migration pain DB structure, strongly de-normalized => performance penalties
