Features of the CMS for forums and web 2.0

Surveys, votes, ratings, and comments:
such features had become an increasingly frequent part of a website, intranet, or extranet presence, long before the advent of web 2.0. And not just in communities. They function similarly, but often have to programmed anew. With the survey and comments modules for our CMS, these functions are available for easy and flexible use right out-of-the-box.

All functions of the contentXXL framework are used:
categories are just as possible as multilingual surveys or access rights.
No programming is required, but they can still be customized. Lots of additional information, customization points, and flexible templating make the CMS modules usable for very different purposes.

Our content management system provides various features for the realization of web 2.0 features, including:

forums
survey and ratings functions (voting, ranking, rating);
recommendation and comment functions for pages and objects
tag cloud (tagging, categories)
Captcha

Survey & reviews

The CMS survey module lets you create surveys, polls, and review functions directly from the CMS.
