Among other things, embodiments of the present disclosure help improve the functionality of electronic messaging software and systems by providing selective push notifications to users of such systems in response to new content being published. Embodiments of the present disclosure may provide notifications to some users based on the relevance of published content to such users, while abstaining from notifying users for whom the content is irrelevant.

Organizationally programmable intranet push notifications

A web template author can author interactive web templates via a static markup language-based authoring tool. The web template author can insert static markup language snippets representing one or more configurable controls of a web template into a static markup language-based authoring tool. Each snippet includes a definition of a preview of a configurable control in a static markup language as well as one or more disabled CMS instructions for the configurable control. The web template author can configure and view previews of the inserted configurable controls as they are added to the web template being developed within the static markup language-based authoring tool. When the web template author is satisfied with a version of a web template, the web template author can upload the static markup language definition of the web template to the server, where the web template is converted into a CMS-compatible web template.

Designing interactive web templates

A system prevents user-activity events from triggering transmission of duplicative notifications to multiple applications. The system may receive subscriptions for notifications from multiple applications installed on a single client device. Trigger criteria for the applications' subscriptions overlap such that a 'single' user-activity event may satisfy trigger criteria for multiple subscriptions. The system receives event data that indicates when a user-activity event has satisfied trigger criteria for the multiple subscriptions associated with the client device. Rather than indiscriminately transmitting duplicative notifications, the system selects individual 'satisfied' subscriptions to fulfill. Thus, when subscriptions are satisfied for multiple different applications on a single client device, the system may deploy a subscription prioritization engine to select a single one of the multiple different applications to transmit a notification to. Stated alternatively, for individual user-activity events, the subscription prioritization engine determines a subset of &#x201c;satisfied&#x201d; subscriptions to fulfill and to refrain from fulfilling.

Web page optimization systems and methods are disclosed herein. In one implementation, a number of master pages and page layouts used to generate the web pages are defined. A number of channels are then defined to be associated with certain ones of the master pages and the page layouts. User device generating the request, a browser used to generate the request, or other suitable components of a user agent string in a web page request is then identified. A web page is dynamically rendered in response to the identified components of the user agent string using the master page and the page layout associated with a channel identified by such components of the web page request.

Custom rendering of web pages based on web page requests

Once a set of inter-dependent items are generated (such as compiled), each of the items is re-named with a content-based name that is generated for each of those items. A version-specific catalog of the inter-dependent items is generated, that maps an item identifier to the content-based name for each item. The re-named items and the version-specific catalogs are loaded to a publication system for consumption.

Using a version-specific resource catalog for resource management

Profiling may be provided. First, scripts may be inserted into a first page to create a modified page and the modified page may be requested from a profiler server once or a plurality of times. Next, the modified page may be received from the profiler server a correspond number of times in response to requesting the modified page from the profiler server and time markers may be retrieve from the received modified page. The time markers may correspond to the inserted scripts. Then a profile may be rendered based upon the retrieved time markers and the rendered profile may be displayed.

Profiler for page rendering

A full-featured cross-browser hybrid rich text editor for editing webpage content. The hybrid editor is integrated with a user interface (e.g., toolbar, menu bar), and provides the appropriate context-sensitive behavior when users interact with the user interface and the interface contents. The hybrid editor responds immediately to basic commands (e.g., cursor movements, inserts, selections, repeated key presses, etc.), and employs behaviors and effects that are more aligned with familiar editor experiences, such as in a word processor. The editor architecture leverages the strengths of both the current browser content editability and JavaScript, limits the browser-based content editing to the insertion pointer, paste, processes content as the content is entered or when cursor is moved around, and implements an abstraction layer that maps browser-specific functions independent of the browser to the underlying support of the hybrid editor.
