Related information bar and Work flow

Has anyone developed a way that the right hand side column can be autogenerated based on what page a user is on or link they clicked on previously?

For instance, if a user lands on a page of an article on Climate Change then could the right column automatically fetch data/publications related to Climate Change?

Could this be accomplished while creating a content instance we enter some tags or meta data that is stored with the content item. That way when a page loads it fetches say the top 3 items related to that meta data from a particular page?

It would also need to be part of a workflow, where when I create a content item related to say Climate Change then if there are other users that have created content on a similar topic then they get alerted via email saying "New content related to your topic of Climate Change was added. Would you like to add it to your Related Information?" and then when they say "YES" it adds it to a table for that user so that at random the pages could pull from a whole list of related information. This makes the web pages very dynamic and shows the latest data available to visitors and promotes other users content as well.

Has anyone done this or could we get something done?

Best regards

Dominique

Re: Related information bar and Work flow

Hi Dominique,

We are working on workflow for content approval and change control and probably will have an announcement about it in the very near future. 

Related information bar is not something to expect near term, its not something I'm working on any time soon. You can pretty much follow my plans from my Road Map. It sounds like an interesting idea, but it also sounds like something complex to implement and the cost/benefit of me working on tha at this time vs other things I have in mind does not compel me to shift gears from my road map and work on this idea. Maybe someday I will get to this kind of thing but there are many other things I plan to work on first.

You can be certain that I read every post in this forum and I consider every suggestion but I'm neither the Wizard of Oz nor Santa Clause, I can't promise mojoPortal meets all requirements for every project nor does it hurt my feelings if you use something else. I'm very pragmatic about it, if you find mojoPortal useful then use it, but if you find something else that meets a particular project need better then use that. mojoPortal will keep evolving and will meet more and more needs out of the box but it will never satisfy all requirements on any laundry list of requirements. There is always room for people to develop custom features to meet the needs not satisified out of the box and there is room for third parties to develop commercial add on features as well.

Best,

Joe
