| Key Features |
Technologies |
- Content manager: The editorial staff of AIGA Loop is free to modify content without any technical intervention from Thirdwave. The content manager allows the deployment of display templates that can be reused many times. This saves considerable development time on the both editorial and technical ends.
- User comments: Users are free to express their opinions by posting comments to individual articles. These responses undergo a review process before being displayed on the site.
- Custom tags: Editors can use special custom tags that perform specific layout tasks. For example, if an editor wishes to add a right column callout, he or she just drops <cf_rightcallout>Callout text...</cf_rightcallout> instead of writing involved HTML code.
