Of Getting Children and Inheriting

Do you want to cook up the same story every time you build a website ? Inheritance is the object-oriented alternative !

On every website the same story is cooked up again and again: Full-text search here, shop with basket there, then quickly add an article-recommendation functionality at the bottom - and the menu can be migrated from the recent project. In times when dynamic websites were created like this, a lot of programme code had to be developed newly, whereat the differences within the productive parts of the routines are only fractional. On the other hand administrative work can’t be avoided completely and also would-be completed CGI programmes need to be adapted on and off until they meet the demands of customized projects. Therefore discussion forums, shop systems a. o. are consistently redeveloped.

Surely you know the fundamental idea of programming: Never cook up the same story and work modular. And this is exactly the matter, the object-oriented API Portalsuite Objects can help you with.

Portalsuite Objects is an object-oriented framework, which allows to develop portals, websites and web applications. Portalsuite Objects does nothing really productive but processes administrative and abstract tasks - Portalsuite Objects refers to the internal Portalsuite data base and withal communicates with the Content Manager and the Admin Center.

You create the productive part on your own by defining instances or derived objects and working with them. But, the Portalsuite template object functions offer frequently needed productive functions.

We created Portalsuite Objects in order to save the recurring work of developing the same portal functionalities again and again:

- Template functionalities

- Data access to articles, tables etc.

- Search systems

- Menu systems

- Category trees

- Customizing

- and much more
