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!

 |
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.
|
 |
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.
|
 |
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.
|
 |
Additional ways
to sort the documents
It is possible to sort the icons or list view in the Electos Studio in
several ways.
|
 |
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.
|
 |
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.
|
 |
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’.
|
 |
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.
|
 |
Server name info
The title bar of the Electos Studio will show the server name you are
working on.
|
 |
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.
|
 |
Logout button
A logout button had been added.
|
 |
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.
|
 |
Upgraded demo website
The standard demo website which is available upon installation has been
replaced by a new design.
|
 |
Bug fixes
Among others, the duplicate text problem in the editor has been fixed.
|
 |
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!
