New GXportal Version

The new GXportal version 4.2 has been launched, presenting a new security model; it also integrates Oracle as DBMS for .NET and simplifies the design and maintenance of Web portals even further.

"We are still focused on providing everything necessary to make a portal and also offering a framework for our clients to integrate their applications, information and the rest of the actors in their business processes", explained Eugenio García, GXPortal Project Manager.

More options: Oracle for .NET
The .NET platform with ORACLE 9.2 or higher as DBMS can be supported from this version, thus widening even further our clients choice at the time of selecting a platform.

Product catalog
This new module facilitates the definition, presentation and administration of products in the portal, offering the possibility of organizing these products into sections and sub-sections, among other features.

More security
People who integrate their applications through GXportal can concentrate in the development of their features, leaving to GXportal to manage the access security of each application.

This version solves user authentication by using a Repository to manage Portal security. The repository is a set of users, roles and security policies whose properties can be setup to define the level of security required by the portal.

Know about your visitors: statistics and queries
GXportal enables knowing portal user and visitor navigation patterns through queries to the portal access statistics. This data is displayed in an Excel spreadsheet that can be formatted by each client according to their interests.

More efficiency: Broken link report.
This process analyzes all portal links, internal, catalogued and external, including images displayed in the portal. The process is executed silently (batch), so the execution can be launched, the window closed and you can continue working.

New features in the content workflow

  • Outbox: allows visualization of finished tasks
  • Query of started processes
  • Possibility of delegating tasks to other users
  • Query to the history (steps) of a specific process
  • Changing the group of content managers of the contents you are working in
  • Update of Workflow engine (GXFlow 8.0)

Simpler design and development: new GXportlets

  1. Log-out
    Enables configuring the log out option regardless of the login GXportlet.
  2. Welcome message
    Allows displaying a welcome message when users log into the portal. This GXportlet is independent of the login GXportlet.
  3. Number of visits to the portal
    The number of visits received by the Web site can be published.
  4. Flash Video
    Inclusion of Flash videos in the portal is added as an option to the GXportlet used to publish images.

Other new features:
