Industrial IoT Gateway

Ghost has a flexible organisational taxonomy called tags and the ability to create custom site structures using dynamic routes.

Industrial IoT Gateway

ThingsLink is the advanced IoT edge gateway component of the Secomea Solution which enables both industrial remote access and machine data collection in a single unit. The ThingsLink is available as a robust DIN-mountable industrial device with multiple connection options, or as software which can be embedded on Windows or Linux computers, HMIs, IPCs or other systems..

Gateway specification

Inside the Ghost editor, you can drag and drop tags into a specific order. The first tag in the list is always given the most importance, and some themes will only display the primary tag (the first tag in the list) by default.

News, Technology, Startup

So you can add the most important tag which you want to show up in your theme, but also add related tags which are less important.

Advantage

Sometimes you may want to assign a post a specific tag, but you don't necessarily want that tag appearing in the theme or creating an archive page. In Ghost, hashtags are private and can be used for special styling.

For example, if you sometimes publish posts with video content - you might want your theme to adapt and get rid of the sidebar for these posts, to give more space for an embedded video to fill the screen. In this case, you could use private tags to tell your theme what to do.

News, #video

Here, the theme would assign the post publicly displayed tags of News - but it would also keep a private record of the post being tagged with #video. In your theme, you could then look for private tags conditionally and give them special formatting.

You can find documentation for theme development techniques like this and many more over on Ghost's extensive theme docs.

FreeIOE Framework

The FreeIOE is available for different operating systems, such as Windows and Linux, but activates using the same license. You can preinstall the FreeIOE software on all your platforms, and connect to central ThingsCloud Severs FREE of charge.


You may not want content tagged with News to exist on: example.com/tag/news. Instead, you want it to exist on example.com/news .

In this case you can use dynamic routes to create customised collections of content on your site. It's also possible to use multiple templates in your theme to render each content type differently.

There are lots of use cases for dynamic routing with Ghost, here are a few common examples:

  • Setting a custom home page with its own template
  • Having separate content hubs for blog and podcast, that render differently, and have custom RSS feeds to support two types of content
  • Creating a founders column as a unique view, by filtering content created by specific authors
  • Including dates in permalinks for your posts
  • Setting posts to have a URL relative to their primary tag like example.com/europe/story-title/
Dynamic routing can be configured in Ghost using YAML files. Read our dynamic routing documentation for further details.
