Publishing Data with Open-Xchange

Open-Xchange offers to publish an increasing amount of internal data like contacts, documents, appointments. This data can be published in a way that it is machine-readable using OXMF and it can be customized in it's look and feel using common web techniques like CSS.

Open-Xchange is using the FreeMarker Template Engine to export the internal date to the published templates. Check the FreeMarker Manual on how to use it.

Examples

Changing the default templates

The default templates of all existing items to publish can be found in the folder /opt/open-xchange/templates/ of every Open-Xchange installation, if the package open-xchange-publish-microformats is installed:

$ dpkg -L open-xchange-publish-microformats | grep templates
/opt/open-xchange/templates
/opt/open-xchange/templates/contacts_oxmf_uncensored.tmpl
/opt/open-xchange/templates/infostore.tmpl
/opt/open-xchange/templates/contacts_hcard_censored.tmpl
/opt/open-xchange/templates/contacts_oxmf_censored.tmpl
/opt/open-xchange/templates/contacts.tmpl
/opt/open-xchange/templates/contacts_hcard_uncensored.tmpl

When these files are changed, new published items in Open-Xchange will get this look and feel. Check out the online help or the user guides on how to publish using Open-Xchange.
