Features and Capabilities

There is a lot that can be performed with the Siteframe CMS.  You can build a corporate intranet application, a blog or even a subscription based site.  Siteframe is capable of dealing with wide range of content from articles and images to polls and custom URLs.  This program enables the creation of a dynamic website that can be easily updated by you, the system administrator or other members of your staff.

The latest version of Siteframe is loaded with features.  Some of the most notable include:

Enhanced security - Prevents community users from running malicious scripts and distributing spam.

Smarty template engine - This popular template engine lets you instantly enhance your site with a number of HTML and PHP-based themes.

Community-oriented GUI – Siteframe’s graphical user interface allows users to create folders that act as blogs and mini websites within the main community site.  Administrators can easily manage each folder while users have the freedom to choose custom templates for their own web pages and folders.

Automated image handling – The most recent version of Siteframe automatically creates thumbnails of photos and also lets you change them to the size of your choosing.  This provides added flexibility when designing pages and managing your content.

RSS support – This feature allows you to integrate content from other sites via RSS feeds.  In addition, Siteframe provides RSS feeds on a per site, per folder or per tag basis, offering enhanced flexibility for sharing content throughout the community.

Ad Hoc pages – This is a unique feature that lets you create items that are not included as a part of the regular user-orientated content.  This could be support pages or legal statements.

Administrative control – You can manage virtually every aspect of your site from the Siteframe administrative control panel whether its viewing reports, editing files or performing routine maintenance.

System Requirements

In order to get the most out of Siteframe, your server must meet the following requirements:

Apache 2.0 - Though it is speculated that Siteframe may integrate well with other versions of Apache, Apache 2.0 is the confirmed and recommended web server platform.

PHP5 - A server equipped with PHP5 is a must for running the Siteframe CMS.  This has to do with many essential features that are not provided by other versions of the language.

MySQL 4.1 or higher – Siteframe thrives off functionality that was introduced in version 4.1 of MySQL.  Though older versions may work, they are sure to lack the database features that make Siteframe such a powerful system.
