Coming in June of 2005!!
We've taken the WYSIWYG editor feature of XObase and married
it with the "regions" tags of Dreamweaver.
In Simple Page Edit, pages
are created with Dreamweaver as editable region templates.
The application core maintains a site tree of the live
site, and allows editors to directly edit the content of
pages,
or create new pages based on the stored Dreamweaver templates.
Simple Page Edit is the perfect solution for smaller sites
where page editiing and creation
for non HTML adept users is the optimal solution.
This product is
very much like Macromedia's "Contribute" product. It does
however have several distinct advantages over Contribute.
- Its server based. One simple upload of several application
componants, and you're up and running.
- There are two licensing plans. A single site licence,
and SPE gold, which allows for unlimited site deployments.
- There are no "per seat" site licences or limit to the
number of site editors.
- You can role protect editing of folder contents in similar
manner to XObase.
- You can limit the scope of a users access in a folder.
For instance, a user may be able to edit pages but not create
them
- Like Contribute, SPE allows the designer to set a specific
set of CSS styles that are allowed in a sites design, helping
to insure site design consistancy. Unlike Contribute it
allows you to set permissions for style assignments at
the user level.
- SPE does not use or need an FTP client to manage or edit
content, once the site and its templates are upload.
- SPE supports Image library management. Images can be
directly uploaded into the page being edited, but are managed
in catagorical image folders. File upload ability is also
a user level permission switch.
- SPE includes "Simple Image Edit". SIE is a basic image
editor that allows you to scale, and crop images on upload
or from the Image management UI.
