Why is Publish being deprecated in Claromentis 9?
Publish was our primary content management system (CMS) until Pages was introduced in Claromentis 8.1 back in 2017. Since then, we have maintained both Publish and Pages, while continuously improving the latter.
In order to help us better align our resources to improve the features, performance, and security of Pages, we have decided to deprecate Publish in the next version of our software - Claromentis 9 - whilst still supporting it in older versions.
What features and benefits does Pages offer over Publish?
Pages allows you to easily build intranet pages using drag & drop functionality, where you can add, move, and customise powerful intranet components and third-party widgets to create content-rich pages. Pages is user-friendly, modern, and easy to use thanks to its intuitive drag & drop technology, and each component automatically pulls in dynamic content from various applications within your Claromentis intranet.
Page Components are being added to a page with drag and drop.
Can Claromentis help us move content from Publish to Pages?
Your Intranet management team can re-create your content into Pages already; we have learning materials to assist them. However, if you would like the Claromentis team to perform all necessary work for you instead, please raise a Change Request on Discover. We will review your site and provide a quote for the work to help you with the transition.
- How to check for Publish content
Your site will have Publish listed as an application. Check for it in the Application menu or if it is listed in Admin > system.
Webpage URLs built in Publish will end in .PHP, and any Publish URLs placed in the menu items for Publish content will reflect this
We’re still using Publish - will it still be supported?
We’re only deprecating support for Publish in Claromentis 9. Any previous versions of Claromentis will still include a version of Publish.
We’re not quite ready to migrate our content - how long will Publish be supported in Claromentis 8?
We’re committed to supporting Claromentis 8 - which includes Publish - for two years after its release. The last feature version of Claromentis 8 will be released in 2022, meaning that Publish will be supported until at least May 2024. This will include security updates.
