Description

Pagesetter is a powerful and flexible content management module that allows Zikula administrators to create their own publication types containing any set of relevant data fields. Pagesetter allows you to manage all of a site's content without the need for multiple module installations and maintenance.

Pagesetter can for instance be used for recipes, news items, task lists, product descriptions, and so on. Any data that can be described by a fixed set of data fields with separate types can be stored in Pagesetter.

So why a new page editing module? We already have three good and well used alternatives: PagEd, ContentExpress, and Zikula News, why yet another module? Here are the reasons:

• None of the existing modules let you define your own fields. They are all restricted to a headline, an abstract, and the full text (mostly). But for my course descriptions I also want a price and a location, for my task lists I want a priority, and for my product descriptions I want a product number and an associated product image. Pagesetter lets you add these fields.
• With a generic module like this you can get RSS feeds, point-and-click insertion in menus, Zikula blocks, searching, and hooks, "print this" and "send this" features for free(!) once it has been implemented for one type of publication. The same goes for standard features like a start and end date, topic association and so on.
• With the supplied pnRender templating scheme you can get each and every publication type rendered independently and theme related.

The most prominent features are:

• Unlimited number of different publication types, each of which with an unlimited number of fields.
• WYSIWYG HTML editor with point-and-click linking to Mediashare images and other Pagesetter publications.
• File attachments, Pagesetter can even be used as a complete up/download system.
• Flexible workflow system.
• Nested categories and other classifications can be created and used for input fields.
• Input validation of fields for reals, integers, booleans, dates, and times.
• pnRender templating and caching . Pagesetter even allows you to define your own input types with it's plugin system.
• Zikula blocks with a list of the available publications, category based menus, and single publication blocks.
• "Print this" feature.
• Enabling and disabling of publications by an "online" flag as well as start and expire dates.
• Use as start page like the News module.
