Γεια σας παιδιά,

Γιάννη μήπως στην αναβάθμιση αλλάξεις τον τρόπο αναζήτησης περιεχομένου (Full-Text Search, Indexing, Faceted Search, Autcomplete, SEO-Friendly Search). Με μια αναζήτηση έπεσα πάνω στο meilisearch. Αν υπάρχει χρόνος μπορείς να το δεις;

A feature that will be available in upcoming Elxis 5.6 are the Page Generators. A Page generator is a custom block of code that generates the HTML of the page instead of the built-in component (actually the HTML of component's viewer). This allows us to achieve 100% customization of the pages layout and style. Page Generators are optional parts of a template. For now, page generators are available in component Content for:

• Category pages
• Articles
• Tags page
• Archive page

On each category/article you can select (or not) a page generator (if available on your template). Category "A"may have a totally different style of category "B", while category "C" might have the Elxis default style.

If you have a template named "supercool" Page Generators should be added here: templates/supercool/generators/
Page generators are php files and have special naming depending on their type. For instance page generators for categories must start with "category_". For articles with "article_" and for tags and archive the name is standard (content_tags and content_archive respectively).

Here are sample generators for template "supercool".

templates/supercool/generators/category_Blog.php
templates/supercool/generators/category_Blog2.php
templates/supercool/generators/category_List.php
templates/supercool/generators/article_presentation.php
templates/supercool/generators/article_tourism.php
templates/supercool/generators/content_tags.php
templates/supercool/generators/content_archive.php

When you edit a category you can select as generator: Component Content (Elxis default), Blog, Blog2 or List. If you change the template and the selected generator does not exist in the new template the page will be generated by component Content (fallback process).

Hello Everyone,

I would like to get the detail analytics of the website. Website is handovered to us from other partner since Jan 2024 to our server. When i check Site Statistics in the back-end panel, it doesn't record since then until now. It shows the error "The collection of statistical data is disabled! Enable statistics in Elxis configuration." I have search the whole website of the back-end and couldn't find that option to run on. Please help me to solve the following things.

1) How to enable feature of Website statistics to record the hit counts again.
2) How do i find Home page hit counts? (I found home page but it doesn't have information for the visitor counts.)

Thank you very much in advance.

  Note to myself:

Before upgrading or updating, set the site security to normal and set to off any Defender rules
