Features
TangoCMS offers you many features that help speed up the work flow of creating, and managing, a website that suits your needs. We’re focused on bringing you a high quality feature set to ensure you always have latest technologies available to use.
So you can see these features first hand, we have setup a working demo that you can use. Below is a list of key features and other smaller (yet still important) features that are implemented.
Key Features
Clean Interface
A unique clean interface not only makes TangoCMS look visually beautiful, it also makes it much easier to work in due to the simplicity of the different interface elements. The visual style can easily be changed through an ever growing selection of themes.
Easy Content Layout
Both the Main site and AdminCP are easily configurable in terms of content layout, meaning you can choose where things should be to create the perfect environment to work in, and control what content is displayed to your users.
Flexible Permissions and User Group Management
ACL, Access Control Levels, allows you to fine tune what groups of users have permission to certain content. This allows you to create a powerful structure of content which can be restricted to the different groups. Groups can inherit permissions from each other, allowing you to create an unbeatable chain of permissions.
Media
Easily upload and share Images, Video and Audio for others to view and leave comments on. Media items can also be added from externals sources, such as YouTube. All Video and Audio files are played through the beautiful FlowPlayer project.
Open Source
All of TangoCMS is released under open sources licenses, meaning you can modify the code in any way you wish (keeping within the terms of the licenses) – increasing what you can do with TangoCMS to how well you can program!
RSS Feeds
Generates correctly formatted RSS feeds for your viewers to subscribe to, allowing them to be kept up to date on your websites content.
Standard Compliant
We believe that all markup should comply to the standards set by the W3C, using semantically correct HTML. This means your website will be valid and helps ensure forward compatibility with future technologies.
Update Notifier
Your TangoCMS installation will notify you when a new release is available, helping to ensure you’ll always have the latest security and bug fixes as well as feature improvements.
URL Aliases
Control the structure of your websites URLs by aliases easily and quickly. Alias longer URLs such as ‘page/index/about’ to a much shorter and human readable ‘about’.
