Hi,
I’m reposting this because I have not received a response to my original post (Jan 23).
I’m very new to Umbraco and am trying to reconcile my very limited understanding of Umbraco with what I need.
My company is redesigning their website. As a lot of corporate sites, it has two main chunks: 1) the static ‘Marketing’ pages; 2) the dynamic content that requires authentication/authorization. We are building this website with ASP.NET 2.0 and are in need of a content management system to handle the static content.
I am not sure if this is one of Umbraco’s target markets or not. My main concern is that our development environment (Visual Studio 2005) will be made complex with the introduction of Umbraco. I understand that Umbraco is a .NET app.
Secondly I am concerned with duplication of effort/content because the header (menu system) and footer information will be maintained in our master page and I want to avoid duplicating that within Umbraco.
Here are some of my other questions/concerns:
• What are the bare-bones pieces of Umbraco that would need to exist in our prod environment (within DMZ)? I don’t plan on having the admin pieces there.
• Can the pages be physically published so that they are not rendered on the fly? We cannot have a direct link to SQL Server from the DMZ and I would rather not have to have SQL Server in the DMZ.
My desired solution would be to have aspx pages published that reference my master page. Something like this:
Code:<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Main.master" Title="My Page" %>
<%@ MasterType TypeName="Main" %>
<script runat="server">
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Master.SetActiveMenuItem("MenuItem1");
}
</script>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" Runat="Server">
<!-- Umbraco's rendered content here -->
</asp:Content>
Is it possible to use your API to retrieve transformed content (Content + Template)?
Thank you,
Marshall
