Knowledge Base

Has anyone created a knowledge base application in LiveSite?

If so, would you be willing to share you code?

Thanks

May I be so bold as to suggest that LiveSite is probably one of the worst technology choices for that?

TeamSite makes sense -- you can capture KB article information in DCRs and push them to a DB. I can't think of any reason why you'd want to alter the presentation and layout of individual KB pages though. Knowing close to zero about your requirements, the little you've posted yells out "custom webapp" on the front-end.

That said, LiveSite could be used for this purpose.. You'd have a listing page that uses an external to query the DCRs (or, hopefully, a database). You'd then have an article.page that uses external-backed components, reading query parameters to fetch the appropriate content. The UX in SitePub would be worthless unless this is just a small subset of a much larger SitePub-backed site.

Yes most like a custom web app is in order. I was just wondering if anyone has Leveraged LiveSite to do this.

These are the different options I have in mind.

Data&colon;
1) Use DCR's to feed the app
2) Use a DB

Searching Data
1) LSCS query to pull in data from DCR's
2) Use IDOL to query DCR's
3) AJAX DB retrieval -> real time search

Or use of any third party applications that I could pull into a component

Preferably, I would be able to add other components on pages for RSS news retrieval.
