Introducing the updated WebYep CMS stacks
WebYep is an opensource CMS (content management system) favoured by thousands of users for its ease of setup, reliability, great multilingual support and its simplistic approach towards online editing. A perfect solution for making frequently-changed parts of a website remotely editable outside of RapidWeaver or for letting clients safely edit parts of a website themselves.
The eagerly awaited WebYep v2 has recently been released, and we have simultaneously released a brand new pack of powerful WebYep stacks. The WebYep stacks work with both the free version of WebYep and the forthcoming commercial version. The commercial version of WebYep is unbranded, with support for a REDACTOR rich text editor and file manager.
You can use WebYep in RapidWeaver without the stacks. But our stacks make the setup of editable content regions in your pages much easier. This is a friendly and flexible CMS solution for RapidWeaver, which anyone can use. WebYep is a tried and proven CMS we actively use daily in websites for our own clients.
The current pack of WebYep stacks (as of version 2.1, March 2018) includes the following:
Assistant - the main WebYep stack you add to every page
Attachment - creates file download links with customisable icons
Boolean - instantly toggle the display of page areas on and off
Calendar - populates calendar tables with events
Conditional - hides or displays content if authors are logged in
Grid - a responsive grid authors can add or remove items from
Image Gallery - responsive thumbnail grid with popup lightbox
Image - static images that can be changed by an author
Login Button - place a login button anywhere on the page
Long Text - a long extract of plain text an author can edit
Loop - page areas which can be repeated and reordered
Markup - a plain text / HTML editor for content authors
Menu - links which open dynamically generated pages
MP3 Player - embeds a single audio file
MP4 Player - embeds a single video file
Organiser - Trello-style project manager or schedule with cards
Rich Text - an editable area with link and formatting buttons
Short Text - a short extract of plain text an author can edit
Tabs - lets content authors setup panels of tabbed content
Time Control - displays page areas, based on date / time
Toggle - lets content authors setup accordion panels of content
Use as many or as few WebYep stacks as you want. The modular nature of this setup offers great flexibility. The loop and menu stacks are immensely powerful. Some of our other stacks like CutOut also incorporate WebYep compatibility.
Minimum system requirements:
PHP 5.6 (7.x or greater is better, as 5.6 is approaching end-of-life)
SSL certificate (this stops web browsers nagging you about insecure login forms)
WebYep 2 free or commercial
