The SDL Tridion Reference Implementation has been released and announced on SDL Tridion World.

Per Bart Koopman, the SDL Tridion Reference Implementation is "an MVC web application (v1.0 is released as ASP.NET MVC 5), with CD side Templating. It uses DD4T to serialize the data from the Content Manager and is further designed to keep the web application independent of its "Content Provider."

Nice work, just had a brief look through the code on Github

Quick question, more ASP.NET I guess but I notice opted not to use a SiteMap provider for navigation - was there a specific reason for that or just personal preference?

  • Bart, Will, and several others that worked on it could chime in, but I suspect it's related to Sitemaps.org (mentioned in the docs). But this might be a better question for the regular TRex Q&A. :-)

  • Oh and maybe .NET SiteMap provider support is worth adding to the wish list. I'll +1 to this and others can vote for interesting feedback.

  • No special reason. Navigation is based around a JSON 'page' published to the broker (you can also access it with the URL /navigation.json). What you do with this data is up to you. Implementing it via a Navigation controller and views matched well with the way we manage most page elements (as CPs on a page/include page which get rendered by sub controller actions)

    Oh and the reason we use JSON instead of XML for navigation (and other resources/configuration) is to ready for clientside (browser) based rendering, which will be included in future releases
