Pitch Leads
IDM’s Pitch Leads Framework PitchLeads SDK is aimed at creating applications that publish structured and indexed content on a website. These applications provide SEO-optimised URLs for the published content, and a search engine allowing rapid retrieval of the content.
The SDK is a Java library and its associated documentation. It is meant to be used in a Spring environment. The current built in features of the SDK are:
- Structured dictionary publication
- Navigation of entries within a tree
- Search result pages with spell check feature
- Associated media publication (sounds, pictures, flash media, etc.)
- Unstructured content publication (Help, About, Home page, or other ancillary pages)
- A themeable interface: Possibility to easily change the whole interface template
and strings in the interface (for localization for example) according to current
Licence URL (/licence/customer1) or the domain name (http://www.mysite.de
for German flavour for example).
- Caching mechanism with memcached
- Ad serving
- Word of the day: Highlights a dictionary word each day by providing a direct link
to it and a introductory snippet on any page of the site
- Geolocation feature: Allow for decision to be taken according to the country of
origin of the visitor
