Product Tour
Netgen Layouts is a unique product on the market with set of features designed to simplify every day tasks for site builders and maintainers.
Integration with eZ, Sylius and Contentful
Layouts are at the moment coming with 3 integrations, which enable fetching content, manually or dynamically, from one or more repositories. Additionally, developers can integrate Layouts with other content repositories with PHP or consuming external REST API.
Mapping layouts to pages
Map a layout with a specific landing page or a whole section of the site, just by using a user interface. You can condition these mappings based on page content type, language, URL parameter, time span. Even conditions like user roles, screen size, user geolocation are simple to implement.
Shared Zones
Parts of the interface that are repeated on several layouts can be placed in a so-called Shared Zone, which then can be reused/linked in multiple layouts. Think of headers, footers, pre-footers, right columns, etc.
Advanced Features
Scheduled Visibility
Block items, fetched from the backend system (like CMS or e-commerce) are hideable in Layouts, whether that content is hidden in the repo or not. If the content is hidden in the backend repo Layouts will respect that. Additionally, it is possible to configure a time span when the item will be visible.
HTTP Cache Control
Layouts users can clear reverse proxy caches (e.g. Varnish) for each layout and block with a single click. This is very useful when changing a layout which is used by thousands of pages. It is also possible to configure each block to be rendered as an ESI tag with specified TTL.
Translations
Each layout can be adapted for each site language. You can translate titles, labels and text directly placed in a layout. Depending on the configuration, even some of the parameters can be adjusted for each translation version.
User Roles and Permission
It is possible to define user roles with different permissions and in that way give access to more editors and reduce the possibility for mistakes
