[CREATIVE Options]

Welcome Elxis 2008 !
I would like to give my congrats to Elxis Team for this magnificent CMS.

As a business man I have an PROFESSIONAL tool in my hands, and a lot of my congratulation I get from my customers it is from project made with Elxis CMS.

And as I say in such a case:
The "tools" make the "technician".

Congratulations once again Elxis Team, and remember all of as member and guest of Elxis Forum we are waiting the release for the public.

Fantastic job guys. Now that people are seeing the the great work that you have put togather They will realise the power of elxis 2008.
Just a bit concenred over the update path and process. I know you will find a way and probably would have already found a way.

I am be happy for you guys i guess this is just the right time for you celebrate over christmas and new year after putting in lot of hardwork.

Cheers

I am very happy that you liked it!
To Reza: The same happened in 2006.x. It is not strange. After saving a bot the "type" of the bot is transfered via the POST request and being used as a filter in bots display list.

To parrotred: It is easy to create the update script and we will finally do it. The hard job is to set up your current online site under the 2008 version. This is a task that each web master should do alone in it's site. It is easy to mesh up your site and destroy it... So, if you are unsure contact GO UP Inc or other experienced user/company. The update script does not have the human intelligence to determine if the changes you have made are good or bad.

What the update script will do is:
1. Update Elxis 2006.x database structure to 2008.x structure
2. Insert default values to db columns that are required by Elxis 2008 (i.e. seo titles, user profiles data etc)
3. Insert new rows where needed (i.e. new permissions, system menu links etc )
4. Install component SoftDisk and initialize it
5. Install 3 new modules
6. Check if you have updated all files to 2008 version (updiag hashes)

What you should do:
1. Manually update all files (the update script will tell you which files you must update but their number is very big, almost 1000! )
2. Edit all modules, tools and bots because parameters have been changed.
3. Edit all content items, categories and sections because of seo titles and parameters.
4. Edit/check/update all default components because they are changes (i.e. polls, weblinks, syndicate etc)
5. Create a new template that follows the 2008 standards.
6. Update modules positions
7. Enable seo pro
8. Maybe update links, users and anything else can be updated!

We are not responsible for any damages you may do to your site during the update!

The update procedure is a hard task and requires time. It is normally to take you 1-3 days to complete the update especially in a large site.

As always a awesome nice job from Elxis Team .Nothing less..

[Reza Faghihi]

to datahell i know what do you mean about the navigation system but i dont experince this problem with other versions at this point im not sure about the problem i will check it again
also its seems in 2008 version the overlib library for tooltips has been changed to ajax tooltip and it seems it uses prototype to generate it is there any plan to implement protoype as default Ajax framework for elxis ??

and here is the suggestion maybe it could be added in later releases
add Detail veiw in media manager  i had made this style for elxis 2004 and it was not bad to have detail view for files
hope to see the official release soon

What beautiful job ! 

Now, it should be available to that translators could finalize translations for Elxis be totally perfect.

Personally, I would like to take advantage of a few days off between Christmas and New Year to do so, is it possible ?

If the new version of Elxis gives me the opportunity to display content items of specific categories into specific positions of my templates then I can do a lot of magic....
