new cloud tag module launched

Interakting releases cloud tag utility for EPiServer CMS

OXFORD, 4 May 2009 - Interakting™, the specialist digital agency and online marketing consultancy, has just announced the launch of CloudCuckoo™ a simple, easy-to-use and configurable tag cloud and tagging tool that is designed for use across EPiServer-based websites.

The Interakting development team designed CloudCuckoo to enhance the capablities of EPiServer Release 5. Whilst the CMS provides a blog template with out-the-box support for a tag cloud, this capability is limited and cannot be used across a site.

CloudCuckoo provides EPiServer CMS developers with a very useful additional functionality and includes the following features:

• Fully configurable
• Multi-lingual CSS support
• Search integrationTag moderation
• Malicious tag protection
• Search-engine friendly

CloudCuckoo also uses some of the more advanced and undocumented features of EPiServer and ASP.NET 2.0. These include:

• Edit-mode plugin configuration via Action Window
• Uses PluginSettings for saving configuration
• Single-assembly deployment
• Server controls for tag cloud + tag entry
• Automatic creation of page properties required
• Non-republish update of pages
• Dynamic property support for search page
• Generates META tags at page level
• Malicious entry protection using RegEx
• Stored procedure data access
