Questions tagged [tridion]

SDL Tridion is a Web Content Management software platform that supports both Java and .NET architectures.

Consider posting SDL Tridion related questions at the dedicated Tridion Stack Exchange site.

SDL Tridion is a Web Content Management software platform that supports both Java and .NET architectures by offering multiple public application programming interfaces (APIs) for both the J2EE and the .NET Frameworks.

The management platform runs on Microsoft Windows 2003/2008 whereas the publishing platform is platform-independent and support includes Microsoft, Unix, or Linux.

The latest public release is SDL Tridion 2011 Service Pack 1, which adds built-in support for comments and ratings (SDL Tridion Community Builder).

  • Content Manager Explorer (CME): a browser-based user interface for the content management system.
  • Content Delivery (CD): The parts of the system on or near the presentation servers, which manage deployment or storage of the content and implement web application functionality such as dynamic linking or delivery of targetted content.

Appropriate questions

Questions about any of the above technologies in relation to the CMS should have the tridion tag. Example topics include SDL Tridion:

  • Code
  • APIs
  • Errors
  • Configuration details
  • Possibly behavior, unfortunately StackOverflow is focused on programming-type questions which overlaps much of Tridion but is tangential to functional aspects of the software.
