What is FLEXIcontent?

contents-flexiFLEXIcontent is primarily an advanced content management system developed to replace the native article manager of Joomla! 1.5

It adds the professional features required to build a collaborative web publishing system.
Even if it’s not its primary purpose, it can also manage records by presenting them the way of a directory.

Thus, FLEXIcontent was designed to manage content in a broad sense, and can organise articles, image galleries or a video galleries, job offers, product catalogues, business directories, a.s.o. within a single user interface.

This means for the end user, unparalleled simplicity of use, everything happens in one place. Mastering 10 components to be able to administrate an entire website isn’t required anymore.
For the web designer it means also the end of the headaches for the maintenance and updates of all installed extensions.

FLEXIcontent is an extension for Joomla! developed in 1.5 native mode and complying with the naming and coding conventions of the Framework (MVC frontend and backend). Thus, its portability to future versions will be greatly facilitated.

Content templates

FLEXIcontent has a very flexible template system that allows you to design your own custom templates very easily. In order to be able to design your own templates, it’s necessary to have at least basic knowledge Read more

Plugins

By creating FLEXIcontent, one of my aim was to make it the more extensible as I could trough the Joomla! plugin system (which is according to my opinion one of the most powerful system in Joomla 1.5). Thus, each field type is a standard Read more

Help button

FLEXIcontent was primarily designed for professionals or more generaly for those who build websites for others. I gave the web designers the opportunity to choose their own support and assistance page. To display the Help icon on the dashboard, Read more
