Registering an Embedded Application

Only developers can register new applications in QuantumCMS. To register an application, go to the System menu under the Modules tab in the QuantumCMS Authoring tool and choose the ?Embedded Applications? option. From here you can add, remove or modify applications.  To register a new application, simply add an entry to this screen.

Once you have registered the application, you can begin using it. To use an application on a page, click on the Applications button in the edit view of the page. You will see a list of currently available applications. Click Add and select an application from the drop down list. You will also see a text area where you can enter the Configuration XML for the application registered on this page.

If your application only returns XML, it will now be available in the page XML of the site for use in the stylesheet. If it contains ASCX or ASPX controls, you will need to tell the system where to display these controls.

For ASPX pages, you register them by adding the following code into the Content (HTML Page Body) of the page, or into the XSLT for your page:

For ASCX Controls, you register them by adding the following code into the Content (HTML Page Body) of the page, or into the XSLT for your page:

[[!-- APPLICATION_ENTRY_POINT[Name of Application[1]] --]]

You can also register applications at the site level, causing the app to be loaded on every page of the site.

[1] Where [Name of Application] is the name you gave the application when you attached it to the page.
