Abstract
In general, embodiments of the technology relate to a method and system for implementing a dynamic content type (DCT) in a content management system. More specifically, embodiments of the technology relate to using a DCT in order to change and/or extend the functionality of the content management system.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a computer and from an application running on a requesting entity, a request for content, the request specifying an object identifier;
- determining, by the computer based on a context definition, a context of the request for content, the determining comprising identifying a dynamic content type (DCT) rule applicable to the request for content, wherein the DCT rule is created at any time after a DCT is created in an object model, wherein the object model specifies how to interact with DCT objects managed by a content management system, and wherein the DCT rule specifies an action;
- determining, by the computer based on the object identifier, an object managed by the content management system;
- performing, by the computer, the action specified by the DCT rule on the object or a portion thereof, wherein performing the action on the object or the portion thereof produces information about the action;
- and
- communicating, by the computer, the information about the action to the application running on the requesting entity.

A content management system, comprising:
- a processor;
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium;
- and
- instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium and translatable by the processor for:
- receiving, from an application running on a requesting entity, a request for content, the request specifying an object identifier;
- determining, based on a context definition, a context of the request for content, the determining comprising identifying a dynamic content type (DCT) rule applicable to the request for content, wherein the DCT rule is created at any time after a DCT is created in an object model, wherein the object model specifies how to interact with DCT objects managed by the content management system, and wherein the DCT rule specifies an action;
- determining, based on the object identifier, an object managed by the content management system;
- performing the action specified by the DCT rule on the object or a portion thereof, wherein performing the action on the object or the portion thereof produces information about the action;
- and
- communicating the information about the action to the application running on the requesting entity.
7 more elements
A computer program product having a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions translatable by a processor of a content management system for:
- receiving, from an application running on a requesting entity, a request for content, the request specifying an object identifier;
- determining, based on a context definition, a context of the request for content, the determining comprising identifying a dynamic content type (DCT) rule applicable to the request for content, wherein the DCT rule is created at any time after a DCT is created in an object model, wherein the object model specifies how to interact with DCT objects managed by the content management system, and wherein the DCT rule specifies an action;
- determining, based on the object identifier, an object managed by the content management system;
- performing the action specified by the DCT rule on the object or a portion thereof, wherein performing the action on the object or the portion thereof produces information about the action;
- and
- communicating the information about the action to the application running on the requesting entity.
