Content Management Standard Modules

Social Media Module

Orbit's Social Media module makes it easy for you to stay connected with your existing and prospective customers via Twitter and Facebook.

Using this module you can import and display your recent Twitter and/or Facebook feeds directly on your website. It also includes functionality to enable visitors to 'Like' your content and share it with their friends on Facebook. When the user clicks the 'Like' button on your site, a story appears in the user's friends' News Feed along with a link back to your website. The module also makes it possible for Twitter users to choose to 'follow' you on Twitter directly from your website by clicking the Twitter 'follow' button.

User Management Module

Orbit’s User Management module is designed to allow you to restrict public visitor access to specified pages of your website while also making it possible for site administrators and/or visitors to create and manage a user membership profile within a secure section of the website. The module also offers lost password functionality as standard.

Administrators have complete control over the default permissions that are granted to members upon registration, along with the ability to revoke permissions on individual member accounts. The User Management module also supports user groups, whereby selected groups of users can be granted access to specific pages of content on your website.

Developed with flexibility in mind, the User Management module is especially useful if you are integrating other elements of complex functionality into your site - particularly functionality relating to some of Orbit’s Advanced modules, such as the Forum module.

Multiuser Security Module

The Multi-user Security module makes Orbit a true multi-user system, enabling multiple administrators to access Orbit simultaneously and make changes to the website using their own personal login details.

The Multi-user Security module also provides administrators with advanced multi-user management tools that make it easy to control the level of access granted to each administrator and the changes they are able to make.

Multilanguage Module

The Multi-language module lets you display multi-language content on your site. Visitors can select their preferred language and have their selection maintained throughout their browsing session.

Please note that you will need to translate content into alternative languages for use with this module.

Document Library Module

The Document Library module provides you with the ability to upload documents to Orbit and save them in a specified folder. The content of this folder can then be displayed on your site and made available for download.

The module is designed to handle multiple uploads of files (such as PDFs or Word documents) at the same time. Documents stored using the Document Library module can also be easily liked to from within the content on your website.

News Module

Created with flexibility in mind, Orbit’s News module is designed to make it simple for you to manage, categorise and publish your latest news or media releases on your website.

The module offers a variety of news display options, including headline displays and news summary displays, along with a link to view the full article on a separate page. Furthermore, the News module is fully searchable (using Orbit’s Search module) and allows you to archive your historical news articles for future reference.

The News module also supports the import and supply of RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds.

FAQ Module

Orbit’s FAQ module is a useful addition to any website, allowing you to provide your visitors with answers to the most Frequently Asked Questions about your products or services.

FAQs are often helpful in a presales or a support environment, helping to reduce the volume of common product or service-related enquiries or questions of a technical nature. FAQs are displayed on your site as a list of individual questions, which when clicked on expand to reveal the answer directly below the question. What’s more, all FAQs are searchable when used in conjunction with the Search module.

Basic Image Display Module

Upload images to your site directly from your PC and display them to your visitors. Orbit’s Basic Image Display module enables you to show thumbnail versions of your images, which when clicked are enlarged to full-size. At full-size, basic navigation controls enable visitors to transition seamlessly between the images in your gallery.

The Basic Image Display Module offers limited functionality and is therefore best suited to tech-savvy users who are comfortable navigating folders and files and using an on-page text editor to display their images.

For enhanced image gallery functionality and ease of use for less technically minded administrators, we strongly recommend using Orbit’s Advanced Image Gallery module.

Online Poll / Survey Module

Orbit’s Online Survey/Poll/Quiz module allows you to add customised online surveys, polls or quizzes to your website quickly and easily.

Set up an online survey in a matter of minutes and start collecting responses instantly. All results are stored and archived in an organised manner for reporting and future reference, plus you have the option of displaying live results to viewers in real-time.

Hot Specials Module

Orbit’s Hot Specials module is designed to make it easy to promote special offers for your products or services on your website. Each special offer you choose to display can include a link thorough to a separate page containing full details of the product or service being promoted.

Orbit’s Hot Specials module functionality includes the ability to set start and end dates for each special, giving you total control over the products or services you choose promote and when you choose to promote them.

Testimonials Module

Collect and display customer testimonials and feedback with Orbit’s Testimonials module.

The module offers various display testimonials options (including static or rotating display), as well as the ability to show the author’s name and URL beside their testimonial. Shortened versions of each testimonial can be displayed in specified sections of your site, along with an option to view the complete testimonial on a separate page.

As a site administrator you can opt to receive email notification each time a new testimonial is submitted via the website, plus each testimonial can be subject to administrator moderation prior to being published.

This module is particularly useful for e-Commerce sites wanting to encourage user-generated feedback about products and services, or websites wanting to utilise the power of customer testimonials to reinforce the credibility of their brand and provide reassurance for potential customers.

Google Maps

Orbit’s Google Maps module lets you add any number of interactive Google Maps to your website.

Visitors can zoom, scroll and switch between Satellite and Map view, while administrators can add customised markers that reveal useful information about a location upon mouse over (including address information, contact details and an image). In situations where multiple map markers are in use the module allows you to specify a default location marker to be displayed upon page load.

The Google Maps module integrates seamlessly with Orbit’s Real Estate module to improve site usability and enhance property listings on real estate websites.

Google currently allow up to 25,000 map loads per day at no cost, fees may be incurred for high traffic users who exceed this daily limit.

Banner Ad Manager

Orbit’s Banner Ad Manager module provides you with complete control over your online banner advertising programme, allowing you to upload and display any number of pre-designed banner ads in specified sections of your site.

The Banner Ad Manager module supports random display of banner ads based on the total number of ads in the group, plus each ad can contain a link through to another page on your website or a third-party website. Banner ads can be set to display for a predetermined period of time (or number of impressions) before expiring, plus the module also records banner ad campaign statistics including the number of impressions and clicks received by each banner.

Mail a Friend

Orbit’s Mail-a-Friend module offers an easy way for your visitors to share useful content on your website with their friends, family and colleagues. Visitors can quickly and easily complete a simple online form that sends a preformatted email to their chosen recipients containing a brief message and a link to the current page.

Search Module

Orbit’s powerful search module supports precise site-wide searches of your website content, making it easy for visitors to quickly find the information they need.

The Search module integrates with all other installed modules to provide you with full site search functionality for the queried search phrase. For example, the Search module will find matching search results within the Image Gallery, Store Management, News, Blog or other installed modules.
