Studio55 – for MTV3 @ Josh
Studio55 is a popular Finnish TV show airing every morning Monday to Friday. The target audience is men and women over the age of 55.
The Studio55 community is an implementation of the community platform XCAP. I was technical project owner, back-end developer and responsible for the server environment. We worked in a small team, where the front-end developers were located in Finland. I built a customer specific solution to make existing XCAP modules work together for the special day views on the site and functionality to import and cache XML data from an existing CMS-system into the site.
Comments OffPå stan-bloggen – for DN @ Josh
På stan is a part of the large Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter. The site has a blog, which is updated daily by the editorial staff. På stan-bloggen is probably most famous for “Strages youtubiana”, where Fredrik Strage listed the 100 best moment of rock as Youtube clips. For this he was awarded the Grand Journalist Prize, as innovator of the year.
The blog is built upon the XCAP community platform. Together with a great team of consultants from a number of different companies we integrated the blog with the CMS system Polopoly and hooked it up with the great design.
For my part, I wrote Spring controllers, customized the XCAP Admin so that the editors could write blog entries (this is normally done by community users, from within a community) and built customized search functionality.
When På stan-bloggen turned out to be a success we implemented the blog for the main DN site as well. For På stan I’ve also built the XCAP comment and rating implementation and an import function to retrieve comments from the site Eniro.
