Multi-lingual Studio
Electos V3 now offers the user the option to operate the Studio in the Danish, German and Dutch language.
 
New user Interface
The User interface for both the Electos Studio and the Electos Site Manager have been redesigned. This is reflected in both the graphical aspect as in new functionality. The new User interface supports drag-and-drop, multiple select and modal dialogs which will make maintaining and creating content a lot easier and quicker. AJAX-like technology is used, to suport this.
 
Multiple browser support
The new Electos Studio is designed with the use of multiple browsers in mind. Both Firefox and Internet Explorer are now fully supported.
 
Document concept removed
The concept of ’Documents’ as opposed to ’pages’ is no longer used in Electos 3.0. This makes Electos less complex and make it more intuitive for you and/or your customers to use. It is still possible to share a page atmore than one location on the website.
 
File manager for your website directory
With the Electos Studio 3.0 it is possible to access all the files in your ’Websites<websitename>AppHtml’ directory. It will allow you to remove files/folders, rename files/folders, upload new files and view or change the content of your files without the need of external programs or server access.
 
Webshop module
A webshop module has been added which will allow you to create and manage product and make your website visitor place orders. The webshop is fully customizable to your specific needs. On top of that, importing products and exporting orders is supported as well
 
Reporting module
A reporting tool has been added which you can use to create basic reports on your website content. You can create your own reports, define which columns you wish to see and specify filters to give you the best possible overview on your content.
 
File restriction
Besides the already supported page restriction, Electos 3.0 also supports File Restriction. Uploaded files are stored outside the webshared directory and are only accessible to visitors with the right credentials.
 
Create menu links
It is possible to create links in your website menu which do not point to a page or any other Electos content. This creates the possibility to add links to other websites or local web applications which can be managed from the Electos Studio
 
Embedded pages
A new document structure item type named ’Iframe’ is added. When editing a page with an Iframe element the user can specify the url that should be shown. The website will print the url embedded within the Electos website. This feature will allow you to easily embed your own web application web an Electos website.
 
Customizable website directory locations
The Electos Site Manager can be used to specify the exact location of a websites root directory, its AppHtml directory, its Data directory and/or its ContentFiles directory. This adds the possibility to create the directory structure you require while still being able to use all Electos features.
