You may have noticed earlier this week the announcement of the TMCore SharePoint Module version 3.0 on our main news blog and on the site front page. This new release really adds a lot of new useful features to the SharePoint Module, both for the end users and for the site developers. For a run-down of the headline changes in the SharePoint Module, check the release announcement here.
To accompany this new release we are also experimenting with some show-and-tell style videos. Almost like visiting the NetworkedPlanet booth at a show, but without the free giveaways and mandatory badge-scan. OK, not quite like that, maybe more like sitting next to Kal and Graham for half an hour at a time as they walk you through how to do cool things with the TMCore SharePoint Module.
The first three videos are already up on the site - these take you through:
- Using the NPCL Schema Editor for Visual Studio to create a topic map ontology
- Mapping the ontology to content types and field types from within the Visual Studio environment and then deploying that mapping, and the ontology to the SharePoint server as a SharePoint feature.
- Configuring advanced selectors including the hierarchy, query and new creator selectors.
You can access all of the videos from this page.
Still to come are a couple of videos on using the Related Topics Fields in a WYSIWYG web page editing environment and a run through of the navigation and search web parts that are provided with the TMCore SharePoint Module. These first movies focus on the design and implementation of a web publishing site, though alot of what is shown is applicable to any kind of SharePoint portal. However, our plan is to follow those up with a series looking at how the TMCore SharePoint Module can be used in an intranet environment.
Unfortunately due to other commitments there will probably be a pause of a week or so between these first three videos and the next batch, but when the next set are available we will post again to this blog, so be sure to bookmark us or better still add us to your RSS reader.
As this is a completely new thing for us to try out, we would really welcome any comments on the videos and suggestions as to what else you would like to see in them. Send any thoughts you have to us at contact@networkedplanet.com.
