We've been working hard on the upcoming modeling tool for our
Ecome Manager, and here's a little preview of what's brewing. The
modeling tool allows you to create your own data models such as
news, blog or product to be used wherever on your site easy as
just a few clicks. After you've created your own data model, or
chosen one from the presets, you can start creating content for
your site easier and faster than ever before. For example to
create a new blog post, you would just simply create a new blog
model item and populate the required fields such as title, author
and the blog text. No more creating a new page for each new blog
post, or having to format the content for each post individually.
The view logic is completely separated from the data model, which
means that all your model items will look consistent on your
site.
The models integrate directly into your site in many ways. You
can create listings of your model in the navigation by simply
creating a model folder and specifying the model you want to list
items for. There are various advanced options that let you
generate exactly the kind of navigation listings you need for
your site. For example you could generate a news archive where
the news are grouped by a year in a few clicks. In addition to
the seamless integration to your site's navigation, you can also
create model item listings or display featured items in your
site's content area by using our new highly customizable model
component.
All of this is working on top of our highly dynamic and intuitive
user interface, integrating directly to the page browser, which
you are probably already familiar with. The data model and items
you create will instantly work on your site, without having write
any code to display them. However for users who want to go the
extra mile to customize the look of the model listings and views,
we provide easy-to-use templates that let you customize the look
and feel of your models exactly the way you want it.
That concludes our preview of the Ecome Manager's data models.
We're excited and working hard to bring you the new way of
building dynamic content for your site as soon as possible. Keep
tuned!
