Web 2.0 Management
Version 7.5 provides the most comprehensive and complete Web 2.0 toolbox to ensure that your organization meets and exceeds the Web site's goals and vision. Utilize new and existing CMS features like forums, five-star rating or tagging to build rich and powerful Web applications for any Web, intranet or extranet scenario.
Wiki
The new CMS400.NET wiki support allows site membership users to add, edit and create Web pages on the Web site. Now, membership user can participate in the creation and management of content on the Web site (empower the community). This new functionality can also promote communication and collaboration, making the sharing of information across projects and teams easier than ever.
Blogging, Forums, Threaded Discussions, & Message Boards
Blogs in Ektron CMS400.NET can be free-form, like traditional blogging tools. Or, take blogging to the next level with posting workflows, comment moderation, blog viewer authentication and structured blogging. Encourage interaction among the online community with forums. Allow anonymous posts or use Ektron's built-in membership security model for authentication. Forums are browser-independent thanks to Ektron's JavaScript-based WYSIWYG editor. Keep your online community active with notifications from either e-mail alerts or RSS feeds.
Taxonomy
The most easy and flexible way of categorizing and organizing your content into logical groupings. Its one-to-many relationships are perfect for repurposing shared content into different areas of your site, making updates and edits manageable from a single piece of content. The taxonomy directory control also provides built-in navigation. No longer does the content author need to worry about how a site visitor is going to navigate to the page. Just add the content to any category, and the directory control does the rest by providing a hierarchical navigation structure. In addition, taxonomy can limit the scope of a search by maximizing the amount of relevant information returned.
GeoMapping
Ektron’s GeoMapping support lets content authors create geographic-sensitive content (baseball fields, gas stations, branch offices, etc.) that appears on a Google or MS Virtual Earth map. Since the map control plugs right into your Web page, site visitors are never directed away from your Web site to get map directions. Your team provides the message and Google or Microsoft provides the map.
Ultimate Address Book
Connect with friends, customers and colleagues with a click of the mouse. Several powerful new levels of search criteria allow you to find people based on user tags such as location, similar topics of interests or directly by name. In addition, Ektron's powerful User Taxonomy allows you to organize your address book contacts in a hierarchy that makes sense to you.
Photo Server
Sharing your photos from one single location has never been easier. Let friends, members and colleagues contribute photos by simply “dragging and dropping” photos right from their desktop to the Web. Photos can be automatically re-sized, mapped and rated, giving you the most powerful and user-friendly photo gallery.
