GX Software, global supplier of Online Marketing software, and RealDolmen, a leading Belgian provider of ICT solutions, have signed an official partnership agreement. RealDolmen will provide implementation services for GX WebManager and BlueConic to clients in Belgium and Luxembourg. The first joint projects have also been launched for a major, international pharmaceutical organisation and www.sandaya.be.
 
Thanks to this partner agreement, GX Software clients can benefit from wide experience and software expertise in a variety of knowledge domains and sectors. GX WebManager offers implementation partners the unique opportunity to build components for clients independently of GX Software, and to add these to an existing website directly. This allows ongoing anticipation of the evolving wishes and high expectations of the modern consumer in the online channel. RealDolmen delivers the projects from beginning to end, or augments where the required competencies, expertise or capacity are lacking.
GX Software and RealDolmen have now launched their first joint projects. At <a href="http://www.sandaya.be/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.S</a>a<a href="http://www.sandaya.be/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">ndaya.be</a> there was a need for a new, flexible, expandable and robust CMS as the cornerstone for launching as a European travel player. And a major, international player in the pharmaceutical sector needed a CMS for a campaign, to help with a rapid go-to-market, but which could still offer the required engagement functionality out-of-the-box. In both instances, the combination of GX Software’s CMS and RealDolmen’s implementation services turned out to offer precisely the right outcome.
Tim Claes, Business Strategy Manager at RealDolmen:
<blockquote>
‘In line with our tagline “We make ICT work for your Business” we always start from the business challenges of our customers and look for the best ICT solutions tailored to their specific needs. As the largest independent ICT integrator in Belgium we continuously evaluate new software solutions that help us to make this statement come true. For our WEM – Web Engagement Management – solution domain we are proud to add the GX software solutions (GX WebManager and BlueConic) to our product portfolio. They follow the same no-nonsense and integrated approach, as we do with our RealDolmen Way. The solutions have clearly proven their added value in the market and will enable us to offer our clients flexible, future-proof web solutions adaptable to the high online standards of today, enabling true customer experience management (CEM) and increasing the conversion ratio real-time, across channels and enterprise-wide.’
</blockquote>
 
Frans Verstraten, VP international partner operations at GX software noted:
<blockquote>
‘We see Real-time, Cross-channel, Enterprise-wide Online Engagement as a strongly growing market. We have high expectations of our partnership with RealDolmen to support both existing and new customers with innovative and effective WCM and Online Engagement solutions. Today we are already working together with RealDolmen consultants on successful projects for Belgian and Dutch customers, and we will keep on bringing the same value to other customers in Belgium.’
</blockquote>

The development team at MODX have been hard at work and have released the next major version of the Revolution series. MODX Revolution 2.1 is officially out and includes Microsoft SQL support natively.
<blockquote>
“Now you can run MODX Revolution on a full Microsoft stack including Microsoft SQL Server. This is a tremendous opportunity for MODX Solution Partners in being able to sell into environments dominated by commercially licensed software and servers,” said Ryan Thrash, CEO of MODX, LLC. “Microsoft shops should also realize major benefits from our software: an agile web content platform, total creative freedom and a reliable upgrade path between releases. They get this backed by a solid company with Commercial Support and an SLA, making for a very boardroom-friendly choice.”
</blockquote>
IDC reported Microsoft Windows leads in server share with 48.9% of revenue in Q1 2010. Microsoft invested companies can benefit from the most flexible Open Source content management platform while working with the servers and infrastructure already in place, leveraging existing in-house talent, expertise and tools. This leads to cost savings, mitigates risk and delivers faster ROIs by eliminating platform shifts.
Gianugo Rabellino, Senior Director, Open Source Communities at Microsoft shared,
<blockquote>
“We are extremely happy to see the spark that began with PHP developers working side-by-side with Microsoft developers grow into a release that offers full support for SQL Server and the Microsoft stack. For us, this release is another milestone on our journey towards greater interoperability. Enabling choices for developers and businesses was the ultimate goal of last November's SQL Server JumpIn! Camp and it is exciting to see that goal realized in this release of MODX. We thank the MODX team for their commitment and cooperation in making this milestone a possibility.”
</blockquote>
MODX Revolution 2.1 also improves website performance with a restructured and optimized caching layer. This dramatically increases page load speeds for website visitors, reduces server load and enables far better scalability across multiple servers and data clusters.
A significant change in MODX Revolution 2.1 is the removal of thousands of lines of deprecated code that reduced the size of the software by 35%. With this change it is important for website management teams to test existing websites before deploying upgraded websites on Revolution 2.1. For organizations that need assistance validating their sites, MODX recommends working with a MODX Solution Partner (<a href="http://modx.com/partners/solution/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">http://modx.com/partners/solution/</a>).
MODX Revolution 2.1 is available for free from <a href="http://modx.com/download/">http://modx.com/download/</a>. Commercial Support for MODX is available from http://modx.com/support/commercial/.

Primadesk, Inc., a provider of personal content management solutions, today announced the complete integration of search, drag &amp; drop and viewing documents from a single location, from deals struck with Dropbox, Google Docs, Pogoplug, SugarSync, and Zoho services. This now allows over 35 million users of the top document management providers to add fully indexed document search to their existing capabilities as well as new document management tools.
“Our users have asked us for the ability to search documents within their SugarSync accounts, and we are actively working on building that functionality into our platform, “said Laura Yecies, CEO of SugarSync. “In the meantime, however, we are working with partners like Primadesk who can provide our users the ability to search their SugarSync cloud and easily transfer files from other systems to SugarSync.” Primadesk is now listed on Sugarsync's App Directory.
Primadesk makes your online life easier to manage by giving users the ability to search, manage, and backup online accounts with one simple interface, no matter where the content is or what device is used. Primadesk is the only service of its kind that lets users access all of their online content in one place, drag and drop content (documents, photos, etc.) from one service provider to another, and perform fully indexed search across all documents regardless of where they are located.
“For most online users, the ‘cloud' is increasingly chaotic and some of the simpler operations, like copying things from one place to another, has become really difficult,” said Srinivasa (Venky) Venkataraman, founder and CEO of Primadesk. “Primadesk, which is browser-based, works across proprietary Web services to allow users to easily view and search all their content in one place.”
The free Primadesk Beta app is available now at <a href="http://www.primadesk.com/">www.primadesk.com</a>.

A new security release of ExpressionEngine CMS is available. Version 1.7.1 is now available for download and addresses a <a href="http://expressionengine.com/bug_tracker/bug/15753/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">critical bug</a> where each member’s settings for ‘Enable Avatar’ and ‘Enable Signatures’ were reset to ‘No’ when preferences were updated in the control panel’s General Configuration page.  The release also addresses a security issue where an SQL injection was at least theoretically possible.  There are no known cases of a successful exploit and such an attack could only be executed by someone with control panel access and access to the admin area with “Can administrate general preferences”.

Newscoop 3.5.3, the open source content management system for professional journalists, was released by Sourcefabric on May 19th. Three is the magic number for Newscoop 3.5.3, with 33 bug fixes ranging from the powerful search interface, to the wysiwyg article edit screen, to the installation process itself.
Community bug reports led to a detailed examination and improvement of the way Newscoop handles lists of articles. A couple of issues relating to user permissions and selecting articles have been dealt with, but perhaps the most significant improvement relates to searching for content in translated issues. Search now pulls up all content from translated issues meaning it’s easier than ever before to manage multilingual sites.
Improvements to the TinyMCE editor performance mean article creation is now more stable. Reported bugs involving the HTML button unnecessarily cleaning code for embedded objects and an occasional failure to save content were identified and zapped. Upgrading also no longer creates an occasional error in the TinyMCE editor.
Newspapers interested in freemium, paywall or enhanced content models will be pleased to know ReCaptcha for Newscoop’s subscription feature is now implemented – bye-bye bots! Blog listings (blogs, entries, comments) were also improved with new pagination and a link to blog entries list added to make finding content easier.
Finally, install, login, backup and restore – the cornerstones of your system engineer’s happiness – all continue to be improved in an effort to make everything on the backend safer and easier to use.

A new release of the WordPress app for iOS has been made available. Version 2.8 is the first in a while that does not solely focus on stability issues. In this new release, there are a number of key improvements and new features. For instance…
<h2>Quick Photo</h2>
A new “Quick Photo” button allows you to snap a picture of something and instantly blog about it. This is a huge step forward for the app and is a very cool addition. They are calling this app “action-centric” meaning that instead of selecting your blog and selecting what you want to do with the pic, you pick your action first. This should help speed up the process and get your blog posts up quicker.
Here's a quick look at how Quick Photo works:
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/oxwall_nvhcur.jpg" alt="quick-photo-walkthrough" />
How do you access it you might ask? As you launch the app, you’ll notice there’s now a button in the bottom of your blogs list. Tap it to launch the camera and take a picture, when you’re satisfied you can add a title or a description (if you want, both are optional), and boom — you’re done! The function remembers the last blog you posted a Quick Photo to and will use that for future posts as well. Note: iPhone only for now.
<h2>Statistics</h2>
If you run your blog/website on WordPress.com, you will be able to quickly check your stats automatically. Currently, you can view everything from Daily Views to Clicks and Search Terms. If you are on the self hosted platform (WordPress.org), you have to have the WordPress.com Stats plugin installed first.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/socialengine_lglsax.jpg" alt="wordpress-ios-stats-screenshot" />
There are other changes as well such as localization improvements and bug fixes. You can read the entire release announcement here on <a href="http://ios.wordpress.org/2011/05/18/big-update-wordpress-for-ios-2-8-available-today/" target="_blank">ios.wordpress.org</a>
