Multilingual Websites

A few years ago I wrote a system that produced multilingual websites in UCM. I was asked about it recently so I thought I'd talk about the solution here.

Static Publish of Query String URLs & Dynamic Pages

The Site Studio Publisher (SSP) and the pre-11g versions (SSPU) are tools that take your virtual dynamic SiteStudio website and convert it into a bunch of fair-dinkum files. This does mean that all "dynamic" functionality is lost, including any query string variables in the URL. But there actually is a way for SSP to produce multiple pages from a URL query string.

The Secret to Unlimited Search Results

The Content Server search results can't go past the first 200 items. This frustrates users and developers. By comparison, Google reports millions of results. Why does UCM, with potentially millions of content items, stop at 200? The answer is that just because the interface stops, you don't have to as well.

Is SiteStudio dead?

Oracle have restructured their products and acquired Fatwire. Somewhere along the line they've decided to rename (or absorb?) the ECM suite into something called "WebCenter Content." Not sure where all this is heading but my guess is that it is probably the end of SiteStudio websites.

How to avoid "not so Ready to Replicate" conundrums

Chatting with Brett on the yahoo forums has turned up a solution to the not so Ready-to-Replicate problem I posted about previously. It turns out an undocumented setting can disable the R2R feature and allow you to selectively sync back to development servers.
