Content Management Zone

The Content Management Zone is the place to manage most of the categories and entries on the system.

A rough definition of what is considered content is anything you might expect to be readily added on-the-fly. Some forms of content are designed to be added from the main website (for example, comments and forum posts), so are not presented here.

The banner system lets you set up one or more banners to display. It allows 'rotating' (randomizing) these banners, with various related control options. The system is designed to be flexible, such that it can serve a number of different purposes, including:

Serving banners directly from a third-party banner network, via the HTML they provide for you to include in your site
Serving your own set of banners (perhaps paid banners, or perhaps community banners)
Serving community banners, purchased via the eCommerce system
Creating your own banner network between independent sites, where sites get as many views/clicks out as they provide in (i.e. a banner exchange program)

or a mixture of the above, depending on the properties chosen for the various events in the system.

Clubs are special usergroups that come with their own forum. Members may add their own clubs, and manage them as the club leader. If you want clubs to have more than just a forum, you can achieve this by creating aggregate content types (however, it will require you to regularly sync).

The download system is a system for the storage, organization and distribution of files to visitors – specifically designed to be an effective tool on sites with very large numbers of downloads. A file in this system is called a Download.

Note that the download system is not intended for placing articles: there is a dedicated news/articles system for this. You may still use it to store articles if you prefer to, in formats such as PDF.

Polls are a popular feature, and often used for a number of purposes including:

to charge the atmosphere of an interactive website
to increase the feeling that the website is regularly updated, by changing polls
to gather feedback from those who are not likely to go to the efforts to write it down
to generally find answers to questions that may not be very important, but difficult to find the answer to without a poll

There are three kinds of quiz:

surveys, which simply collect results (there are no correct answers)
tests, which people may pass or fail
competitions, which have results and possibly, a winner

All quizzes consist of a series of questions.

Quizzes are a very powerful tool for you to bring a level of interactive community that few other websites have, or for which other websites rely on the services of external websites for.

Wiki+ is a tree-structured (hierarchical) database of pages and posts which is in many ways like a forum system, but presented in an encyclopedic style, and designed to have a deep and extensible hierarchy. Wiki+ can also be configured to behave just like a wiki system, by linking pages purely by using hypertext links. It is a collaborative, community-driven tool for the organization of media and information; unlike wikis it is capable of providing a well-organised structure, with flexible permissions to allow the staff complete control over how open the system will be.

Information is presented using Comcode and the Comcode attachment system, meaning there is excellent support for rich media. Wiki+ is ideal for storing collaboratively/interactively extended information with a high organizational factor; the speed of which information can be added is also particularly advantageous. This pattern works very well for types of ad-hoc guide, especially community-driven ones.
