Consolidated Widget content selection
Currently
• Only slideshows support ‘custom’ content
• Only listings support ‘selected’ and ‘dynamic’
content
Future
• All widgets will support custom, selected and
dynamics content
Layout Styles and Item Styles
Currently
• Display Styles are configured per Widget limiting
configuration scalability and flexibility
Future
• Layout Styles will define how Items are arranged (Banner, slideshow, carousel, listing, grid, etc.)
• Item Styles will define how individual items are
displayed (Image with Block Text, Image with Text Overlay, Row, etc.).
Layout and Items styles can be selected to produce
many more combinations than possible currently
Custom Content Types
Currently
• Only a limited number of platform
wide content types are available
Future
• Sites will be able to create their
own custom content types
Redirection options
• Bulk Redirection rules will allow whole areas of a
site to be redirected to an external site(Intended to support existing microsite after migration)
• Page Redirection rules will allow individual pages
to be redirected to an external site(Intended to promotional URLs hosting externally to the platform)
• Applying these rules as part of the ‘404 file not
found’ process allows us to support ‘live
migrations’
