Built-In Audio/Video Content PlayerAdding video content to your website has never been easier! Simply upload your favorite SWF or FLV video files to your videos directory, and then add a "Show Video" content module. The video below was added to this page using just 5 mouse clicks! Ajax-Enabled RSS ContentThe "Verse of the Day" and "Current Weather" content on this page comes from RSS feeds. This content is also flagged as "Auto refresh content," which causes Ajax calls to refresh the content in the "background." There are many benefits to this technique, primarly that your website doesn't have to wait on the RSS content to appear when loading. This makes your website ultra-fast, and also allows rapidly changing content (like stock tickers) to update without refreshing the page. And you don't even have to know how to spell "Ajax" to reap the benefits! Simply click a checkbox, and you're on your way. Finally! Article Module for Blogging and News Syndicate These Articles (RSS)
Article Content Can Come From Anyone Articles can be entered by any registered user group that you configure, and use a simplified configuration of the WYSIWYG editor. Articles Can Be Anything The Article Module can be used for anything from blog entries, news, recipes, technical help, FAQs, events...or whatever else your imagination can invent! Optionally, articles can be expired either on a one-by-one basis, or by a global configuration option, so that once out-of-date material can "magically" disappear according to your preference! Article Module Includes Built-In Pagination Links For sites with large volumes of articles, built in pagination links make the user experience pleasant, and keep the page load time to a minimum! Article Module Includes Built-In RSS Syndication Notice the Tabview ControlYou can use a tabview control to fit a lot of information into a small spot! In this example, the content for this tabview control is linked to the Home section. This means that every content block on the home page automatically creates a tab in this tabview. Tabviews can be linked to "hidden" sections, as well.

EKCCMS is the EKlectic Core Content Management SystemThe EKlectic Core Content Management System (EKCCMS) is a state-of-the-art CMS that integrates its own easy-to-use interface for editing content, Smarty templates for custom themes, and virtually unlimited backend power in its development framework. Creating and maintaining a website has never been easierContent is added and edited in a Word-processing-style interface (TinyMCE), so even the most novice of users can create a professional website in minutes. Templating via SmartySmarty is perhaps the most popular templating engine in the world, and with good reason! A simple HTML page can become the entire theme for your new EKCCMS site by simply adding in our CONTENT variable. For professional web designers, you can completely separate data, functionality, and presentation. And for those in a hurry, we've provided some HTML-generating "shortcuts" for routine blocks such as Login, Breadcrumbs, and Menu Items. Flexible and powerful! Module developmentEKCCMS modules include an innovative interface that standardizes configuration data. Because EKCCMS literally handles the entire configuration process (from creating a dynamic configuration form to reading/writing the database), developers can spend more time focused upon writing their custom modules! And the configuration interface automatically converts boolean variables into checkboxes, and arrays into dropdowns! Check out the file /modules/mod_template.php to see just how easy it is! PermissionsEKCCMS includes a powerful authorizations engine that can be configured two ways: This bi-directional method of content management allows even the most complicated security situations to be realized. User News and BloggingUsing this User News module you can add blog-style content to your site by any registered user (including yourself!). Bloggers with admin-level permissions can be configured to auto-approve, so you can update your daily blog with a single click! And content submitted by non-admin bloggers has to be approved by an admin, so there is no risk of inappropriate content appearing to the public. Multilingual SupportAdditionally, EKCCMS includes a complete database of world languages, and allows one or all to be set active. (Only active languages show in the Language dropdown.) Users can simply choose their favorite language in the Language dropdown, and voila! they are viewing the content that has been prepared in that language! Each language is essentially a completely separate set of content and sections, so changes to sections or content in one language will never interfere with the content in another. For a quick demonstration, try changing the language on this site by updating the Language dropdown at the top of this page! Built In Reporting With Dynamic GraphsThe SQL reporting module parses SQL statements--even complex statements with subselects--and auto-generates an HTML grid, a spreadsheet link, and a JPG graph. The reporting interface is configurable to include/remove the date control buttons, the grouping drop down box, and the spreadsheet link. There are many configuration options for the graph in this module including Bar or Line types, graph and axis titles, and width and height. No data to display...XLS file not created.Graph Title |
