Featured: Wiccle Builder CMS and Custom Content - Click to Enlarge

By now, many of you will have seen the Wiccle Builder in action. Wiccle Builder is one of the most powerful tools out on the market for creating your customized website with easy-to-use browser-based tools.

 

Wiccle Builder and System Content

 

What many may not have seen is a video from our Youtube channel showing Keith wiccle around with Wiccle Builder in a demo video from early June when iWiccle was going through its betamorphosis. Let's recycle the video for a quick recap of what Wiccle Builder can do for you:

 


How about that for customizing your site's look and content? 80% of all system-generated content units (such as blog posts, comments, blogs, categories, favorites, mails etc.) are customizable by order (name, date, author etc.), format (template type used), scope (limited by category, author, blog etc.), and finally, quantity.


You can literally configure any amount of almost any kind of content to appear in almost any position on any one of your web pages or page-types (such as all pages showing any given individual blog post), turn them into short summaries, headline feeds, full entries and more, generate custom headers and content sorting dropdown menus, change browser title bar texts, and so on. We'll get into the details of the builder and its system-generated content in a separate entry.

 

Wiccle Builder Custom Content CMS

 

Today's gloss is on a feature we have just completed for inclusion into Monday's upcoming iWiccle 1.01 patch and feature update, the Wiccle Custom Content Builder subset of the Wiccle Builder tool. Below is an illustration of the custom content builder in action (editing the iWiccle default home page).


You can create a content unit anywhere on any one of your pages and modules, choose "Custom" as the content type, and create a section of your page to include the exact content you want it to have. You can use a cutting edge WYSIWYG editor (thanks to TinyMCE) or edit in HTML mode, and upload images for insertion in several scalable sizes. You can also create an unlimited amount of distinct pages with their own layouts with your custom contents.

 


The illustration also shows you our inline Image Uploader, something you'll meet in the right column when you start publishing blogs and articles in your iWiccle. The Uploader handles as many images as you care to upload, offers them for inclusion in five formats from mini-thumbnail to full 640px width (and is customizable), keeps track of uploaded images and their parent posts and makes them available when you return to edit your posts, and rumor goes it will also be able to sing and dance (on the roadmap for v1.20).


If you have an idea on how to make building custom content for web pages easier, please let us know and we'll do it for free. If your idea is solid, you'll see it built in as an alternative or extending tool to the Wiccle Builder editor, and you can start designing your pages even easier and smoother. The offer is indefinitely open, subject to finishing current deadlines. We're not kidding when we say "Wiccle — Power of the internet in Your hands! ". We're working on it, we're doing it, and you're getting it.

Smarter URL  ⋅  Markus   July 12, 2009, 01:13 AM

And if someone wants a smarter URL for this page, here goes:


http://www.wiccle.com/staff_blogs/dev_lair/features/post/featured_wiccle_builder_cms_and_custom_c


Smart URL support is rolled across the whole of Wiccle.Com with Monday's updates. They can frankly be a pain in the butt, and are one of the most common causes of configuration headaches, so we want to make the mod_rewrite rules slim and abstract enough to not cause a noteworthy performance hit (and not have in the range of 200 lines of rules, as that borders server sadism), and completely free of overlap.


As I am personally not a big fan of the mod_rewrite approach due to all of its quirks (and the subsequent obligatory base_href tag misuse and the can of worms that opens when using directory-style rewriting), the future will show Wiccle featuring two to three separate and alternative Smart URL writing systems aside the common but oft-problematic mod_rewrite approach.
