We’re really excited! We just published 2SexyContent 5.0 beta with some really great features. Actually too much to list all, so just the initial basics:
- Foremost: Standardized, documented API, so that all coding with 2SexyContent-Data will look and feel the same – in [Tokens], @Razor and…drumroll…JavaScript 🙂
- Freaky-cool DataSource and Pipelining system, so that you can configure data retrieval, filtering, sorting and more just by configuration and without any code whatsoever. This will promote more no-code solutions that don’t risk server stability and don’t need extra modules to be installed just to achieve that neat gallery/news/whatever effect.
- …and the Pipeline-Configuration will be by drag-and-drop 🙂 really awesome, kind of like Yahoo-Pipes!
- …and the Pipeline goes all the way from the backend to the template and to javascript. So it’s a seamless data selection, filter/sort, join/merge, cache and delivery mechanism all the way to the JavaScript-API. We’re really proud of this feature 🙂
- …and the Pipeline is itself configured using a recursive Token-System. I can’t tell you more about this yet, it doesn’t quite work yet, but it’s a beta – und know that it will work, and it will be good.
- Crazy caching: after an initial load, all requests will not require any database access at all.
Just so you know: it’s already in production on a customer website, and the result rocks! Details will follow…
