Two new scale modes are available in the manager: Pixel and Scroll. . Pixel = your website is visible at every screen resolution. It is scaled down if the window is smaller than the website and it is left at 100% of its scale if the window is bigger. This scale mode is ideal for websites with photos and non vector pictures. . Scroll = your website will always be seen at 100% of its size and the scroll bar of the browser will show up when needed (and be updated when you navigate in the pages of the Silex website). Thanks to this mode you will be able to produce HTML-like websites, with a lot of content on each page, very hight wesites and with a scroll bar on the right side. ________________________________ The tasty new version of OOF ________________________________ You can now read Excel files, with the new ExcelConnector. No tutorial yet, but you're awaited in the forums ! You can now scroll your lists with the new ListScrollBar component. The XML Connector is now 100% functionnal. You can import any XML file and use the data in a site, in a text field, in a list, as the address of a video ... This way it lets you interact with Flickr, YouTube, Picassa, Google Calendar, and almost all the online services. The tutorial is underway, but meanwhile, you are expected in the forum to discuss it :) ________________________________ Themes ________________________________ MyPage theme Portfolio website, with slideshow and contact form. The “align component” is used for the background image. (Flash Player 8 - Diaporama and contact form made with Oof components. ”NoScale” mode.) My Page plus theme Portfolio website, with background slideshow and contact form. The layout “mypage_volet” is used for the website/slideshow switch.

They have given birth to http://flashcms.fr/ , an information portal about the Flash CMS software. The role of this wiki like participative website, is to make it possible for you and me, to publish material on Flash CMS. - content - WORDPRESS was used for the automatic inscription of new contributors, for moderation and publication functionalities. Silex has been chosen for the presentation because it is the only Flash CMS making it possible to display a Wordpress website with a Flash design, without programming and for free! 3 sections in http://flashcms.fr/ : the Diary A google addenda is used to visualize events related to the Flash CMS community A list of events with the practical details Blog Articles and news The Flash CMS lists Description, links, price, screen shots, etc. for the major Flash CMS software Since it is a participative site, everyone can add a CMS, add an article, add an event or edit the data of the CMS. In order to be part of it, use the forms which are in the sections “Diary” and “Participate” or become a member by clicking “login” and then “Inscription”. If you would like to help out and do not know how or if you want to set up a similar website in your language, please contact us ( sha -a t- flashcms -d o t- fr ).

As you may know, the core SILEX team is in Paris, France. Now, even though French is the best language in the world... ...we understand that you don't want to learn it just to use Silex. A lot of users would appreciate a community in their country. So, in our attempt to go global we want to go local near where you live. Wherever you are, we are looking for people to help out Silex users in your country and in your language, so if you feel like helping out, let us know. We are thinking of forums, tutorials, local gatherings, etc. But we are open to suggestions. In exchange you get a link on the Silex homepage and the chance to become the focal point of a community.
