Rails Connector for CMS Fiona

A new version of the Rails Connector is available, featuring even faster development and extension of modern web applications. The new version consists of two easy installable and configurable components, one for the base functionality, the other for numerous included website features.

In the new version of the Rails Connector, great value was attached to immediate utilizability of all functions. By means of the add-ons included, web pages can be made commentable and ratable, for example. RSS feeds can be made available in a convenient way. The PDF generator allows for transforming CMS content into PDF files using individual XSL layout templates. Furthermore, user registration, logging in and out as well as password requesting are available. For those user-specific functions the new integrated interface for our Online Marketing Cockpit can be used. Lively portals on which interaction with and among visitors is a central concept, can be developed rapidly.

Also, the interplay of Rails Connector and CMS Fiona was improved. In the preview, transparent edit markers and individual marker menus can be provided to make editorial work more pleasant and efficient and to benefit from existing resources such as wizards for content acquisition.

Having increased productivity in mind, the Rails Connector was also equipped with an easy-to-use template language, Liquid. Like CMS Fiona’s template language, Liquid offers convenient means of layout creation to web developers. It facilitates dynamic access to content and its flexible integration into web pages.

Particularly in combination with Online Marketing Cockpit, the Rails Connector offers interesting possibilities for personalization and targeted communication with the users of services on the web. The new search engine optimization functions round off the picture. These functions can help to improve the visibility of services on the web.
