Neos CMS online Meetup

The first online meetup of the Karlsruhe Neos CMS group. Of course everyone is welcome and not only people from Karlsruhe and also people who don't speak German :)

The link to the video call is https://bbb.sandstorm.de/b/seb-da2-eev
We will start the linked conference call at about 19:30

We plan to have 3 talks about Neos specific topics with a short 10 minute break in-between.

Everyone can join the #meetup-karlsruhe Neos Slack channel for parallel communication. Feel free to join a bit earlier in Slack this evening and already discuss your Neos and other topics with the other participants.

Topic 1

Neos 💙 Elasticsearch
(by Daniel Lienert)

Flowquery works great to traverse your node tree. But due to limitations of the Neos ContentRepository it cannot efficiently limit, sort or paginate results or query by property values. That's a big issue as soon as you have some hundreds of documents.

Luckily the Elasticsearch backend fills that gap.
During the last months I worked a lot on the Elasticsearch packages and lots of features got merged. I'd like to show you some already known and lots of new features of the upcoming package versions. Additionally I show some Packages I developed to make our projects with up to 1Mio nodes fly.

Topic 2

Better Embed, Pretty Embed and SVGs
(Jon Uhlmann & David Spiola)

BetterEmbed
Free yourself from third party crap.
Include the essential content of any website or service such as Facebook posts, Twitter tweets, Instagram posts, YouTube videos, WordPress Blog posts, etc. into your page without any extra effort. By that, it is GDPR/DSGVO compliant, has maximized performance, and you can theme/change the markup as you want it. No iframes anymore! #fightiframes

PrettyEmbed Series
The PrettyEmed Series (Audio, Video, Youtube, and Vimeo) has got a big update. I’ll show what the new possibilities are, and why you should upgrade to this new version. Small hint: No external resources, even for Youtube and Vimeo, as long the user doesn’t start the media player. By that, I’ll also show some common patterns with Neos.Fusion:Component who are quite useful in every project.

SVGs are not images; they are documents!
With this in mind, you can create excellent content and master design challenges in your project with ease. I’ll show you some examples, what SVG is capable of.

Topic 3

Access restrictions in Neos
(by Sebastian Kurfürst)

I'll showcase the Sandstorm.NeosACL package, which can be used to configure access restrictions on the node tree within a Neos backend module. No programming needed to handle common use cases!
If interested, I can also explain some of the difficulties and inner workings to make this work.
