Please note, v8.8 requires DNN 9.2+ to run. If your sites are still under DNN 5.x/6.x/7.x/8.x/9.0/9.1, please check other old
versions at http://dnnmodule.com/Store.aspx.
3. Module Highlights
3.1 Easy of use, DNN 9.2 based, Content Localization, Publish everything, Department, Custom attributes, Categories, Tags
3.1.1 Fully rewrote based DNN 9.2, provide setup wizard to make it easy of use
P1 - Setup Wizard
v8.8 is fully rebuild based DNN 9.2, to utilize the new features in DNN 7/8 (like the services framework mechanism, Ajax, form pattern). And we try our best to make this module easy of use and self-explanation. When you run module first time, it will show a setup wizard to guide you to configure it step by step, all you need to do is click "Next" to follow this wizard. It is so easy.
3.1.2 Content localization support, allows you to publish information (articles / listings / categories / tags, etc.) with multiple languages (e.g. English, French and Chinese) in same portal (new in v8.0)
Localization in DNN can be done in two different ways, Cross Article supports both of them well. Which way to choose depends on the content of your site, and how you want to localize this content for different languages and countries.
The simplest way to start offering your site in multiple languages is to add a portal per language. Cross Article supports this situation easily using its setup wizard. For example, if you want to publish articles to both English and Chinese readers, you can create two portals (cn.yoursite.com and en.yoursite.com), and configure two different sites with Cross Article. This is the classical (old) way in DNN world.
The second way is to offer multiple languages content in same portal. For example, publish pages/articles with both Chinese and English, when Chinese reader visit your site, show Chinese content of pages/articles; when English reader visit your site, show English content of pages/articles. For this situation, DNN has a built-in feature (since DNN 7.0) called "Content Localization". This feature allows a site owner to duplicate a site for each desired language, and permit a seamless switch between the different languages. This is today's popular trend and we strongly recommend you to choose this way to support multiple languages.
Cross Article works seamless with this localization way, and it uses a elegant method to handle multiple contents. All data in Cross Article (articles/listings/categories/attributes/tags/location, etc.) can be localized, and you only need to focus the necessary part. For example, the article title should be translated into different languages, but article image doesn't need to translate. The localization mechanism in Cross Article is straightforward and easy.
3.1.3 Publish everything
P2 - Demos
Cross Article is mainly designed to publish news articles (view live demo), but with the support of departments/categories/custom attributes, it also allows you to publish everything else, like real estate (view live demo), cars (view live demo), job listing(view live demo), product catalogs (view live demo), classified ads (view live demo), surveys and votes (view live demo), location based directory listings (view live demo) or anything else you can think of. It is the ultimate publishing platform for DNN.
3.1.4 Organize data with departments
P3 - Departments
Departments are top-level unit to organize data. Each department has its own categories / attributes / tags / articles (listings). Department offers the best solution to organize variety data. For example, if you want to publish news article, post job position, and also list house rent information on your site. It is hard to organize these data without departments. But with department, things become easy. For live demo, please visit http://dnnmodule.com/Modules/CrossArticle.aspx. You will see we create a few departments (Articles, Real Estates, Products, Jobs, Ads, and Documents), and publish variety data (articles, products, jobs, documents, etc.) in same site using Cross Article.
3.1.5 Create extra attributes for each department
P4 - Attributes for real estate department
Different departments have different attributes. For example, when publishing real estate, you may want specify its "Location" and "Area". When publishing software, you may want to specify its "Version" and "Platform".
Attributes (e.g. "Location" or "Area") are used to create these extra independent variations in your departments. After create an attribute, author can then enter specific attribute values for an individual listing (e.g. "New York", "Houston", "Boston").
Below is a list of data types you can specify for an attribute:
A. Basic data like string / int / decimal / datetime / date / time / boolean / currency.
B. Special data like email / image / url / text html.
You can specify a list of value for attribute, user can choose one of them via drop down list / radio button list. In v7.0, we also add check box list display style to let you select multiple items from exiting values.
P4 - list of values for an attribute
After creation, these fields will be treated the same as built-in fields. You can add/edit their value, display them on article list module and article detail module. In v7.6, these custom attributes can also be used as search conditions. For live demo, please visit
http://dnnmodule.com/Modules/CrossArticle/DNNRealEstatemodule.aspx
3.1.6 Disable unwanted data fields
Article has some built-in data fields, like author/source/image, etc. You can disable them If necessary. If a field is disabled, then it will not be displayed on article edit interface which belong to current article department. And of course, it will also disappear in article list and detail module too.
3.1.7 Create extra text/html content data fields
The "Custom Attributes" feature works well for short content fields. For long content (Text/Html content), each department also has up to 5 additional fields to let you to publish long content (text/html content). You can specify its title and default value. If a field is enabled, then it will be displayed on article edit interface and detail which belong to current department.
For example, we need a “Testimonials from DNN store“ attributes while publish our modules. So we enable “Specification 1 “ and set its name as “Testimonials from DNN store“ like below:
P6 - extra text/html content field
3.1.8 Unlimited level categories
Each department has its own categories. Cross Article supports unlimited level of categories (with asp.net tree). An article can belong to multiple categories.
3.1.9 Tags
Each department has its own tag list. An article can have multiple tags.
3.2 Multi-author support, Author file manager, File upload for PC and mobile, Reader File Upload, Amazon S3, Video convert on-line/off-line, Thumbnail and watermark
3.2.1 Multi-author support
Cross Article is multi-author based. Administrator can choose roles which can post articles (listings) on your site, specify disk quota and item count this role can have. In v7.6, you can also limit the departments which user can post listings to. For example, if you have two departments ("Article" and "Real Estate"), you can limit a role to post listings under "Article" department only.
P7 - Author Roles
You can use a store module (like our Classified Pro 8.0 - store, auction, classified ads) to sell these author roles, so user needs to buy (subscribe) a role first before post articles (listings) to your site. You can also charge author roles based different conditions (departments, article count, disk quota, etc).
3.2.2 Author file manager
Author can manage his own folders/files. When edit his articles (listings), he can choose related files (images/videos/documents, etc) from these files. In v7.6, we rewrote the old "author file management" control, to share the same interface as the DNN built-in "File Management" feature. It is now fully Ajax based, and also support right-click popup menu. Just like site administrator can do in DNN standard “File Management” page, author can do same work too. Except the “Upload“ function, module provides a more powerful tool.
P8 - Author file manage
3.2.3 Two file upload controls which support both PC and Mobile/Tablet (iPhone/iPad/Android, etc).
Module provides two upload methods: the Ms Silverlight upload control and the JavaScript upload control. For PC user, we recommend the Ms Silverlight control. It allows the author to upload multiple/large size files (for example, 500mb), and it doesn't require you to change anything in site configuration. However, if author uses iPhone/iPad/Android which can't run MS Silverlight plug-in, he can choose the traditional JavaScript upload control, this upload control works the same as DNN built-in upload control. It is easy to use and supports drag uploading.
P9 - File Upload (Ms Silverlight Upload Control).
P10 - File Upload (JavaScript Upload Control).
3.2.4 Allow reader (register user) uploading files with his help ticket to the author, also allow author uploading files as response. (new in v8.4)
V8.4 allows reader (register user) uploading files with his help ticket to the author, also allow author uploading files as response. For example, you are publishing job listings, an interested user can submit a request (a help ticket) to a job, and upload his resume (pictures,credentials) to you. You can even limit the file upload count / title / extension / size. For example, you can require user to upload 2 files, one is "Resume" and its extension is "doc,docx", and can't exceed 5mb in size; the other is "Personal Picture", and its extension is "jpg,jpeg,png".
P11 - Reader upload files to the author.
3.2.5 Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)
Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. You can use it easily in Cross Article module, simple change storage type as “Amazon S3” and enter your account information. User share similar file manager interface like store in local. For more information about Amazon S3, check http://aws.amazon.com/s3/.
3.2.6 Convert user upload video to .flv or h.264 (.mp4) format online
Video is very popular in today and Cross Article module also enables user upload huge video files to site. But user may upload different type of videos, play these videos via normal way is too difficult. Cross Article module solves this question by convert user upload videos to flash video format (.flv) or H264 (.mp4 ) format. Just like YouTube did.
