Elxis Nautilus is coming!

[webgift]

There is the Contact form plugin that it helps you to generate forms with a easy way.  I attach you the plugin's parameters page. As you can see there is a possibility to create custom text fields too. In future we will create several plugins regarding forms.

All forms in Elxis are created with a PHP class we have write that allows you to build any type of form fast and easy.
To initiate/call the form builder class:

Code:

elxisLoader::loadFile('includes/libraries/elxis/form.class.php');
$formOptions = array('name' => 'elxisform', 'action' => 'something.php', '...');
$form = new elxisForm($formOptions);

Without the php api you can create contact forms by using the contact plugin. This plugin allows you to create rich and configurable contact forms being displayed inside articles.

We present you the results of a benchmark comparison test between the latest Joomla 2.5.4 Emper (stable) and the upcoming Elxis 4.0 Nautilus (pre-alpha). The tests performed with the Apache's ab tool on a local development computer running Windows. Both CMSs were with their default copntent and settings, although Elxis had about 2900 articles more than joomla. Various caching options were tested. The result of all tests is that Elxis is, at least, 4 times faster than Joomla! Read the complete article.

See an other benchmark comparison test performed by webiny (not open source). Compare Elxis with the results shown there. Although the tests are not on the same machine (which is a very important factor) you can see that Elxis performs the same, or a little better, than drupal too (and much better than wordpress and Tomato cms). Especially for the memory usage Elxis comes first as it consumes just 1,5mb of memory.

what about templates? you have mentioned that there is a new template system, compatible with templates from other cms. Can you give us more details?

[datahell]

I recently removed this system and I don't think I will put it back on again.
There are many reasons for this decision but the main reason is that templates become more complex as the time passes and the conversion results would not be good for many of them. Also this system was addressed to experienced users. So I prefer not to have something like this than generating problems to the sites and after people call us for help.

The new Elxis templates are multifunctional and have many parameters that control the layout and style. You can, for example, convert a 2 columns template into 3 columns with just one click. You can change colours and logo without touching the code. So you can personalize a template a lot which makes the need of many templates less. Also we believe that Elxis is a superior CMS, better than other competitive CMSs. So we hope companies and professionals will use Elxis Nautilus as a business tool and develop extensions for it.

There is the Contact form plugin that it helps you to generate forms with a easy way.  I attach you the plugin's parameters page. As you can see there is a possibility to create custom text fields too. In future we will create several plugins regarding forms.

Just some suggestions for future forms.

1. Ability to send form to different email based on dropdown selection or certain custom fields?
Example: a selection box for "reason" to contact.. one is support and one is website feedback. Maybe support can be sent to one email and for feedback to be send to different email?

2. Custom field parent <-> child option.
Example: If the form has a field (checkbox) "Do you have children?" If checked... there will show an input field "Name" or "How many?".
If multiple levels.. after put in answer "2" for "How many?" (children) ... maybe two input fields shows display "Name #1" ... "Name #2" ..

Thanks for the time and consideration.
