CMS Made Simple add-on hits 4000 downloads

September 2, 2008 by iain

It was nice to see today that the custom tag that I built for CMS Made Simple has exceeded 4000 downloads.

Random Global Content Blocks enables the template editor to specify a range of content blocks to show and then the tag does the work of deciding which one to display per page load. It even supports a regular expression syntax so as long as a given naming convention is adhered to new items can be added through the CMS without the need for template modifications.

For example:
{random_gcb block_regex="^case_study_"}

This would mean that any global content block starting with the name starting case_study_ would be included in rotation, randomly.

You can download the tag here or read more about Siftware’s CMS Made Simple installation and customisation services.
