addedValues Plugin

Overview

addedValues is a free plugin to Userlands' Manila Content Management system. The combination adds abilities to Manila that many other content management systems cannot match, while preserving the elegant simplicity of entry level Manila. Although addedValues is packed with features, it attempts to use sensible defaults and a consistent user interface to mask the complexity, but also provides an interface allowing the advanced website designer to "drill down" to adjust the tiniest detail. Like the Metadata plugin before it, addedValues extends your Manila website by

• Adding properties to the pages on your website.
• Showing related pages in a customisable format.
• Adding META tags to the HEAD element of your pages.
• Building automatic site indices or tables of contents.
• Searching your site's metadata.

• many more ways to construct Forms to enter, edit and search content.
