Smart Content HandlingOne of the larger focuses of Helix is it's ability to intelligently handle content. Starting with a clean WYSIWYG editor, content is cross-referenced with TOC keys to ensure that each page links to the correct URL of other pages, even if you completely change your entire URL structure. Helix will also manage automatic redirection, if you change your URLs Helix can redirect old URLs to the new ones. A solid hierarchy ensures that breadcrumbs, sitemap layouts, menus and URL path lines can all be appropriately built on-the-fly, or completely customised. Billing Systems
Helix Billing covers:
SEO and Analytics Support
Detail sitemaps with categorisation can be automatically built using the information stored in the content analytics database. |
Helix 0.9.2Some cleanups from the rather dramatic 0.9.0 release. AED and listControl bugs have been fixed, AED class has been further extended. The redirect manager can now edit existing entries in the database. The SearchEngine class is now part of Helix, this is a big one and still experimental but completely operational.
Also, a note about the text editors within Helix. Some Helix releases on some templates trigger a bug in Firefox that causes the carrot to disappear. There is a workaround for this bug, but it's not very pretty. Firefox 3, which is due for release soon, has solved this bug so there will be no update in Helix to workaround it. Helix 0.9.0
A big update to Helix, some new admin pages, new features and some handy new tools for the admin section. This release includes an AED class to standardise and make building new form editors a lot easier, as well as new some window classes for standardising floating windows within Helix.
Updating to this version of Helix will require you to add some more pages, read on for further details. Continue readingHelix 0.8.7
This update is a pretty major one from 0.8.5, if you played with the 0.8.6 experimental update only a few things are different. Major changes apply to the credit control for users and the tax system. Tax now allows for an inclusive or exclusive GST/Tax, a user can change (fix) their geographic location before paying a bill and tax is added or removed from the invoice if needed. Once a partial payment is made, the billing details are locked to the bill. You can no longer edit the users balance from the user editor, you must have billing access to do this, and this forces proper synchronisation between the billing engine and account control. A big update to the templating system now allows you to choose default templates for different sections of the site, instead of having to manually override an entire section. Read on for a full list of changes. Continue readingHelix 0.8.5
Helix 0.8.5 has just been released. New to 8.5 is RSS 2 syndication support. This new feature will allow you to supply a limitless combination of XML feeds for RSS aggregators which comprise of any Helix blog, whether that be a convention blog or a RSS feed itself. Helix 8.5's deployment package has removed some of the dummy data present in the 8.4 deployment package. Also in this release is improved support for tax in the billing engine. These changes allow you to provide any tax system you want to buyers inside your own country, and a seperate tax code for buyers outside your country. Billing details may be dynamically changed, but are now locked to an invoice once any money has been made on that invoice. |

Helix employs detailed security protocols including automated alerts, detailed threat level logging and encryption of sensitive data, such as passwords.
Helix integrates it's users with a sophisticated billing system that provides your site with the ability to take money, manage transactions and bills, provide invoices and consider tax for domestic and international sales.
Carefully designed to cater for both the user and the search engine, every page in a Helix website contains extra information, watching the importance of pages, when they were last modified and how often they are modified, Helix can accurately provide Google with information that will better help it crawl your site. Every URL on Helix is defined how you want it to be, unlike most CMS' you have complete control over every fine aspect of your site.
