This screenshot shows the page authoring interface where content can be added and modified. Clicking on the Preview button in the top left corner of the screen will bring up the page as it would be displayed to website visitors.

With Magnolia, content authors no longer need to switch between different navigation mechanisms to make a small change on a web page. They can instantly edit any page currently being displayed in their browser within the exact same look and feel as the public website.

All authoring tasks such as managing the site hierarchy and inline editing are carried out in a browser - no client installations are needed.

Move, copy, reorder

Moving content via drag & drop

Moving content via drag & drop

Content pieces can be conveniently moved around on a page via drag&drop.

Authors can move or copy entire site-structures with ease in Magnolia. They can reorder pages and page content via drag and drop – directly in a Web browser.

Internal links are automatically validated. A link is a reference to the unique identifier of the target page, not to a URL or path. As a result, the target page can move or be renamed without breaking the link. No more orphaned pages!

The URLs of web pages created with Magnolia are human readable. This makes them easy to communicate, easy to bookmark and easy to crawl by search engines.

Accessiblity conformance

Magnolia templates follow the guidelines of W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG2m) as well as Germany's BITV (Barrierefreie Informationstechnik-Verordnung), making content accessible to a wider range of people.

The HTML generated using Standard Templating Kit templates is state-of-the-art and guarantees accessibility. For example, we include invisible navigation messages for vision-impaired users.

Standard Templating Kit

Events overview template

The Event Overview template automatically aggregates all upcoming events it finds on your website. Aggregation (and display) of events can be restricted to a subtree of your site. This allows you to have several different sections on your site displaying different events.

At the same time, as soon as a page of type "Event Overview" exists, an event will display a link that links back to the overview.

The STK is a complete, out-of-the-box website layout that conforms to accessibility standards. It provides templating best practice and an extensive set of ready-made functionality that can easily be extended for custom designs and content output.

The STK includes templates such as Home-page, Section-page, News, Events Calendar, Article, Image-Gallery, Form, Categorized Articles, Glossary, FAQ, Sitemap. It also includes various templates for paragraphs (content types) including fancy teasers, text & image, video, teasers, stages, tabbed content, latest events, latest news, commenting, forum, RSS aggregation, category cloud, contact details from address book and more.
