New Features

The new features will allow the usage of section environment variables and the definition of default section IDs for article subjects.

Section environment variables will allow to create section code controlled by environment variables. So instead of editing section or page object code only environment variables are defined. The data of these variables is then used either in sections or page objects to control the output. This will allow to use fewer sections and easier maitenance of existing section code.

So far there has not been an easy possibility to link article subjects with section ids. One solution was to add the section id to the URL. Or another one was hardcoding the relationships. Either way section or page objects had to be changed. This will change with the introduction of default section IDs for article subjects.

Both features will be configurable by html forms. The necessary data will be retrieved by new functions added to the sitelib library. The new features are net yet added to sourceforge, but will be available quickly. Documentation will be available as well. Check Siteseed.de for updates.

Static Section Pages The Static Section Page (Static Section) feature allows mapping of html pages to sections. These html pages may be placed/stored in any directory within the site root of your siteseed installation. The only exception are siteseed system directories (e.g. bo).


$ifcontent$ Macro The new $ifcontent$ macro allows to create dynamic layouts depending on content of article fields.


FCK Editor FCK Editor (http://www.fredck.com/FCKeditor/) is now available as Siteseed Module and can be used to replace the current visual editor. It's an external module, because it's licenced under the GNU Lesser General Public Licence (LGPL).


$php$ Macro The $php$ macro allows to execute PHP code in layouts. A set of PHP macro functions allows to access data of all other conventional macros quite easily.


Component Types The current siteseed release offers features not yet covered by the official documentation. One of these features are component types. They e.g. extend comon editor fields by predefined default content and a lot of other things.


Sitelib Documentation Sitelib is a library that encapsulates code that is often used in siteseed interfaces. This includes mainly database queries in order to achieve a higher level of abstraction and to be more independent of possible database changes in the future. This article explains all library functions and provides examples for their proper usage.
