summary

Enhanced Articles module with publishing features.

details

The Xaraya articles module is a mainstay for creation of key content on a site. The ability to define a new publication type and extend it with your own fields through dynamic data, provide custom templating for each at fine grained level, and it's ability for tight integration with Xaraya hooks makes it very versatile.

Although there are other good Xaraya content modules, the existing inbuilt functionality of the articles module makes for very quick and easy content creation especially suitable to dynamic content.

Working with the articles module opened up some ideas for its further development although the changes may be too great for some standard Xaraya Articles. Xarigami Articles is therefore our 2skies.com flavor of the Xaraya articles module.

Features :

• enhanced 'easy admin' blocks security (uses the Xarigami Core Block security model)
• checkin-check out capability for articles that can be switched on or off for a publication type
• check out time and editor with bulk check in option
• integration of changelog with the checkin-checkout facility
• enhanced display functionality allowing easy creation of custom page navigation layouts
• some 'group by' category functionality in the publication summary view page when category browsing is chosen
• other minor features and improvements

Dependencies:

• Xarigami Core (for block security)

file releases:

• xarigami articles V1.5.6 on Oct 5, 2007
