Say Hello to Symphony
In this "Hello World" follow-up, we build out a full-featured site, with front-end submission, an RSS feed, Twitter integration, and more.
Conclusion
Before we end the tutorial, let's add a few finishing flourishes, shall we?
Open your "master.xsl" utility (you should know where it is by now), and in the root template (<xsl:template match="/">), after <xsl:apply-templates />, add the following:
<p id="site-info">Psst… Are you in love with Symphony yet?</p>
That'll give your site a nice little footer.
Finally, if you've got a Twitter account, click here to add your tweet to the #HelloSymphony stream. After about two minutes, reload your home page and you should see your tweet in the "Tweetings" list.
Now exhale. You're done!
You've just whipped up a pretty full-featured website. Give yourself a pat on the back. There's no sequel to this tutorial, so feel free to tinker away with the site you've built. Here are a few suggestions:
- Extend your Greetings section even further, and then pull the new content through to your various front-end views. Don't forget to update your submission form.
- Create a view that allows you to browse greetings by language
- Pull in another external feed... maybe your Flickr photos or the latest Symphony tutorials
