Latest updates from Tribalogic HQ

Admin Console: Assigning Entry Managers

Written by Robin Morris on 29 September 2011

Assigning Entry Managers in the Admin Console

New in the Admin Console!

We have now enabled the assigning of Entry Managers in the Admin Console.

What is an Entry Manager?

An Entry Manager is a User of your Tribalogic Website that can log into the Admin Console and update the details of their Entry (or Entries).

Moving to the Admin Console

This is something that used to be the preserve of the old Brand Console.

As we move functionality to the Admin Console, the day when we can completely kill off the Brand Console comes closer and closer.

Who will benefit?

Any client with a Website on the Tribalogic Platform (e.g. a Property Portfolio).

To assign a user and a Manager for a given Entry it is a simple case of typing in the name of the user and clicking the "+" button.

This change was part of update v2.101.

New! Directory content in Joomla articles

Written by Robin Morris on 16 September 2011

joomla logo

Insert Directory Entries directly into your Joomla articles.

We have created a new Joomla Plugin allowing our Website managers to place their Directory content directly into their pages.

Why?

Suppose you are writing an article about a specific attractions - a restaurant or a café for example - why not include a list of the 5 apartments that are close by?

Example:

  • "Nearest Apartments to Earthy" on The Edinburgh Address

Or perhaps you are have an article that is assessing a specific area or location, why not show all the relevant Entries to that location?

Example:

  • "Nearby caravan and camp sites" on Caravan Sitefinder

Why opening links in a new window is wrong

Written by Robin Morris on 19 July 2011

We regularly get clients asking us to open new links in a new window, usually when linking to external websites or booking screens - we always strongly resist and here is why.

1 - It is generally counter productive

The main reason clients resquest opening links in new windows is that they perceive it will leave their website open in the background and therefore users are more likely to come back to their site, in fact the opposite is true.

Users leaving to go to booking screens or other websites in fact lose the Back Button and History in their browser making it less likely they will come back to the original website and more likely they end up back at their favourite search engine.

The original site will sit in a background window or an another tab until the browsing session is over and they have completed their task (booked their holiday for example) or got bored.

This problem is even greater in tablet devices such as the iPad, as window management is more basic.

2 - It disempowers the user

By forcing a certain behaviour from a link different to what would be expected, you are in part destroying the mental model that the user has of where they are and what they need to do to get back to where they were before.

Aline's last day at Tribalogic

Written by Robin Morris on 01 July 2011

Victoria Street, EdinburghIt is our French student Aline's last day at Tribalogic before she heads back to Tours to continue her studies in International Business.

She has been a joy to work with, extermely helpful to our efforts to target new clients and always on hand with a smile.

As it is her last full day in Edinburgh, and the weather is so nice (a rare event in the time she has been with us at Tribalogic - sorry Aline... Edinburgh can do that to you) we asked her to have a wander around the town and take some photos of Edinburgh.

She has taken some great pictures and we have uploaded them to our Facebook page.

So from us all at Tribalogic, thanks for all your hard work Aline and good luck with your studies back in France!
