The Storage of Content / Uploads Within the CMS

Prior to publishing out an asset to either a live site or a stage site, assets store information within a database or on CrownPeak's local web server. Essentially, an asset only holds Key / Value pairs within the database and any documents or images that were uploaded from an input form gets stored on the CrownPeak's local web server (i.e. A0 - A8). Usually the keys are user defined within the input template and can be viewed by selecting an asset and going to View -> Properties -> Content.

Viewing the content, there are several things that probably should be pointed out.

Upload#user_defined_name:1 is probably a key in the database. The word Upload in the key specifies that the value for this key is probably a location to CrownPeaks local web server (i.e. the path to where the upload is stored.) When an upload is published out it gets copied from the local web server to the clients server.

Questions about Outages

Routine CMS maintentance windows are from 6pm - 7pm, every Monday and Wednesday. Generally, the system is still available during these times, but may be unavailable for a few minutes during that period. There are other times where maintenance must be performed outside these windows due to unforeseen circumstances. We aim to provide as much notice as possible for these events, typically via email and via an alert on the login page. The routine maintenance is also mentioned on the login page on the day of maintenance.

Laravel 5.1 - Posting and Retrieving JSON

This is how you can use jQuery to POST data and retrieve it within the controllers.
