## Drives

A drive is like a shortcut in the content repository, a quick access to some places for users. You can restrict the visibility of this drive to a group/user and apply a specific view depending on the content you have in this area.

A drive is the combination of:

- Path: the root folder of the drive.

- View: how we can see the contents (by list, thumbnails, coverflow, etc).

- Role: visible to everybody, a group or a single user.

- Options: allow us to specify whether to see hidden nodes or not and to create folders in this drive or not.

### Fields

Object type: org.exoplatform.services.cms.drives.DriveData

Field name | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
name | `String` | Name of the drive. It must be unique
repository | `String` | Content Repository where to find the root path
workspace | `String` | Workspace in the Content Repository
homePath | `String` | Root path in the Content Repository. `userId` can be used to use the userId at runtime in the path.
permissions | `String` | Visibility of the drive based on eXo rights. For example: `*:/platform/users`
icon | `String` | Url to the icon
views | `String` | The list of views you want to use, separated by commas. For example: `simple-view,admin-view`
viewPreferences | `Boolean` | User Preference icon will be visible if true
viewNonDocument | `Boolean` | Non-document types will be visible in the user view if true
viewSideBar | `Boolean` | Show/Hide the left bar (with navigation and filters)
showHiddenNode | `Boolean` | Hidden nodes will be visible if true
allowCreateFolders | `Boolean` | List of nodet ype we can create as folders. For example: `nt:folder,nt:unstructured`
allowNodeTypesOnTree | `String` | Allows you to filter node types in the navigation tree. For example, the default value is "*" to show all content types

We use the following structure for drives configuration

    <external-component-plugins>
      <target-component>org.exoplatform.services.cms.drives.ManageDriveService</target-component>
      <component-plugin>
        <name>manage.drive.plugin</name>
        <set-method>setManageDrivePlugin</set-method>
        <type>org.exoplatform.services.cms.drives.impl.ManageDrivePlugin</type>
        <description>Nothing</description>
        <init-params>
          <object-param>There are initializing attributes of org.exoplatform.services.cms.drives.DriveData object</object-param>
        </init-params>
      </component-plugin>
    </external-component-plugins>

The file that contains the structure above will be configured in the configuration.xml file as the following:

    <import>war:/conf/wcm-extension/dms/drives-configuration.xml</import>

## Deployment

When a site is created, normally the end-user wants to see something in the page instead of a blank page, so we need this service for deployment of some "default" contents like Banner, Footer, Navigation, Breadcrumb, etc.

There are two main cases to use:

- The site is created only one time when the database is clean.

- The site is created at runtime, when a user uses the core feature of GateIn portal.

## Taxonomies

Taxonomies are used to sort documents to ease searches when browsing documents online. The main idea behind that concept is to provide a multi dimensional set of paths to find a document. The best example is when you browse Yahoo news. In many cases, you can get your content by using different category paths. Therefore, after creating a document somewhere in the repository, it is possible to categorize it by adding several taxonomy references. By browsing the taxonomy tree, it will be possible to find the referencing article and display them as if they were children of the taxonomy nodes. As you can imagine, taxonomies are stored in the JCR itself and we are using the JCR Reference functionality to provide that advanced ECM feature.

Managing the tree of taxonomies is very simple, you can copy/cut nodes and paste them. Of course, you can add and remove taxonomies from the tree. Once a taxonomy has been added, any user who has access to the "Manage Categories" icon from his/her view can then browse the taxonomy tree and refer one of its nodes to the created documents.

## Nodetypes

Every node has a type. Node types can be used to define complex storage objects consisting of multiple sub-nodes and properties, possibly many deep layers.

### Fields

`org.exoplatform.services.jcr.core.nodetype.ExtendedNodeTypeManager`

Node Type | Type | Description
--- | --- | ---
name | `String` | Name of the node type. This field is required
isMixin | `boolean` | mixin type&nbsp;
hasOrderableChildNodes | `boolean` | Orderable childnodes
primaryItemName | `String` | Primary item name
suppertype | `String` | Name of supper type
propertyDefinition | `Object` | Define properties of node type

### Examples Nodetype configuration

The node definition should be placed in a special XML file (see DTD below) and declared in the service's configuration file to eXo component plugin mechanism, described as follows:

    	<external-component-plugins>
      	<target-component>org.exoplatform.services.jcr.RepositoryService</target-component>
    		<component-plugin>
    	    <name>add.namespaces</name>
    	    <set-method>addPlugin</set-method>
    	    <type>org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.AddNamespacesPlugin</type>
    	    <init-params>
    	      <properties-param>
    	        <name>namespaces</name>
    	        <property name="publication" value="http://www.exoplatform.com/jcr/publication/1.1/"/>
    	      </properties-param>
    	    </init-params>
    	  </component-plugin>
    	  <component-plugin>
    	    <name>add.nodeType</name>
    	    <set-method>addPlugin</set-method>
    	    <type>org.exoplatform.services.jcr.impl.AddNodeTypePlugin</type>
    			<priority>99</priority>
    	    <init-params>
    	      <values-param>
    	        <name>autoCreatedInNewRepository</name>
    	        <description>Node types configuration file</description>
    	        <value>jar:/conf/nodetypes-publication-config.xml</value>
    	      </values-param>
    	    </init-params>
    	  </component-plugin>
    	</external-component-plugins>

This is a Nodetype definition file format:

    <nodeTypes xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0" xmlns:mix="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/mix/1.0"
      xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0">
      <nodeType name="publication:publication" isMixin="true" hasOrderableChildNodes="false" primaryItemName="">
        <propertyDefinitions>
        	<propertyDefinition name="publication:lifecycleName" requiredType="String" autoCreated="false" mandatory="true"
            onParentVersion="COPY" protected="false" multiple="false">
            <valueConstraints/>
          </propertyDefinition>
          <propertyDefinition name="publication:currentState" requiredType="String" autoCreated="false" mandatory="true"
            onParentVersion="COPY" protected="false" multiple="false">
            <valueConstraints/>
          </propertyDefinition>
          <propertyDefinition name="publication:history" requiredType="String" autoCreated="false" mandatory="true"
            onParentVersion="COPY" protected="false" multiple="true">
            <valueConstraints/>
          </propertyDefinition>
        </propertyDefinitions>
      </nodeType>
    </nodeTypes>

## Views

A view can include many object parameters. Parameters are used to create default views, templates and actions of Manage View service. View enables administrators to customize view classification that can impact on users in exploring workspace. Each object-param has a type that is a class representing all properties of a view.
