| Description |
Version 4.2 of this Free CMS has been released and includes Quick Forms, Google Data Maps and multi-site features. |
This is an extendable Ajax based Content Management System for Domino that includes a library of open source applications from a growing development and support community.
We are excited about this latest update. It addresses two areas that will make a big difference in the sites that we create. We can now:
- Create web forms that are integrated with the CMS in a fraction of the previous time (and that was already pretty fast).
- Generate multiple related web sites from a single database (Great for organizations with departments or branches).
- Display documents as points on a new Google Data Map portlet.
QUICK FORMS
Lets face it, there is always room for improvement in form creation speed. With our latest update, web forms can now be created with a single Quick Form definition document. A variety of common fields can be selected from a drop down. Other fields on the form allow additional customization:
- The labels and help messages can be overridden.
- Security is selected from a drop down using PDQ Groups.
- Custom fields can be added using the Design tab in the ADMIN area.
- Selecting Newsletter section will display the newsletter section on the form with fields and buttons that allow documents to be added to specific newsletter issues.
- Selecting Site section adds the buttons and fields needed for the multi-site feature.
To save even more development time, we also have a new view definition form that allows these documents to be connected to a section in the CMS system. We also have several new portlets for displaying the documents (including the new Google Data Map portlet).
MULTI-SITE
A single database can now be used to generate multiple branch or departmental web sites. Different types of site profiles can be created for individuals, departments, outside dealers, etc.
- Articles or sections can be selected for inclusion in each site.
- Banner graphics can automatically be generated from text and uploaded images.
- Contributors can control the availability of their article to other sites.
GOOGLE DATA MAPS
A new geolocation type field is available on both dynamic forms and the new quick forms.
- Location information is automatically determined based on either street address or IP number.
- A new Google Data Map portlet lets documents with this information be plotted.
- An @formula can be used to generate a tabbed popup information window for each point.
DEMO DATABASE
To demonstrate these features a new demo database has been created. It is multi-site and newsletter enabled and has two quick forms for a photo gallery and a simple ride sharing application. It also contains the report definitions for our own HTML newsletter to give you a head start on your own. |
