GXportal 5.2 RC was released!

(22/09/2014-13:17)

This new version includes many innovations; one of the most important ones is the possibility of creating a version of the site that can be accessed from smartphones, and generating the application to publish it in the Apple Store and Google Play.

Many statistics show that the use of mobile devices to access the Internet outpaces the use of PCs. In this scenario, it is increasingly necessary to offer people who visit our sites the opportunity to tailor their user experience to the device of their choice. Driven by this need, in this version we are including the possibility of designing a site optimized for smartphones and supported by their browsers.

The good news is that we can reuse the same contents currently used for the traditional site accessed from a PC and configure it in such a way that the same contents currently published in our site are automatically published in the mobile version.

Your site at mobile stores

It is a fact of our times that mobile application stores have become a marketing tool and, just like it has become necessary for both companies and organizations to be present on the web, so is the case with stores. With this new version, we can generate a native application for mobiles having the same information and functionality from the web version, which we can later publish on Apple and Google Play stores, without the need to write a single line of code.

Greater productivity in design and maintenance

Among the innovations, we will find a functionality aimed at improving the productivity of site design and maintenance tasks. Usually, design patterns are repeated throughout a site; for example, the way in which news and contents are presented on the site usually follows a specific design and style for the title and the summary related to such contents.

This new functionality is aimed at approaching this scenario in a very simple manner by enabling the definition of different styles for each type of GXportlet. You can see how to use the styles here.

This new version is already available on GXportal SaaS and is also available for clients who prefer to use the GXportal Corporate version.
