Plugin: Transfer Filenames

By Frederic Hemberger ⋅ December 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Although the CMS already includes a function to transfer the filenames of a language variant to all languages, this plugin – quite similar to the “Transfer RedDot Descriptions” plugin released yesterday – takes you a step further: All filenames are exported to an XML file which then can be translated to any other language before importing them back into the CMS.

Plugin: “View Template” for shared content classes

By Frederic Hemberger ⋅ September 20, 2008 ⋅ 6 comments

Putting things where they belong (part 2): I don’t know why RedDot removed this function (I think it disappeared somewhere after 7.5.1.31), but it is really annoying. If you use content class sharing you are no longer able to view the…
