What's New in Revision 2.0?

This revision includes several exciting new features and user suggested enhancements to make website creation and editing with Electos faster, more powerful and easier than ever before!

bullet

Restricted parts of the site (Professional and Developer edition only)
With Electos Professional Edition it is possible to restrict the visitors’ access to certain parts of the website. To be able to access the restricted parts one needs to be a logged in member of the website with a valid username and password. Members can be managed and grouped using the Electos Studio.

bullet

Image Gallery
It is possible to create your own image gallery. Simply uploading or assigning existing images to the gallery will add them to the site with a thumbnail and link to the original image.

bullet

Alternative view
Besides the existing icon view in the Electos Studio, it is possible to get a list view of the existing section like ‘Site management’, ‘content’, etc.

bullet

Additional ways to sort the documents
It is possible to sort the icons or list view in the Electos Studio in several ways.

bullet

Remember last selected source when assigning/adding images
The ‘file browser’ opened when adding images to your document or creating links will store the last used folder/category and use it as starting point.

bullet

Activated page but not in the site structure
It is possible to create categories, pages or multi-item pages that are activated in the site structure but are not shown in the websites menu.

bullet

Image resizing
It is possible to resize images on the server. This will do an actual resize of the image, not show it in a smaller version. This will also be possible from within the asp page, so you can create a smaller version of a document element of type ‘file’.

bullet

Duplicate a document
It is possible to duplicate a document from the content screen. This will create a copy of the content with a different document name.

bullet

Server name info
The title bar of the Electos Studio will show the server name you are working on.

bullet

Multiple file upload
The file upload page now shows 5 instead of 1 file fields. This will allow you to select 5 files and upload them all at once.

bullet

Logout button
A logout button had been added.

bullet

Performance improvement
Considerable performance improvements has been made. In addition to this, it is possible to turn off ‘FTS search system indexation’ and ‘deep link checking’ if necessary to increase the performance for bigger sites.

bullet

Upgraded demo website
The standard demo website which is available upon installation has been replaced by a new design.

bullet

Bug fixes
Among others, the duplicate text problem in the editor has been fixed.

bullet

And more…

Plus, Electos now offers ready-to-use professional website design templates that easily integrate with your Electos deployment. Add a new design, or update an existing design quickly and easily at a fraction of the cost of designing a custom website!
