Features

Posa Doble has the following features:

• CMS and WebApp framework
  • CMS5 was built as a WebApp framework with CMS capabilities.
  • It has a strong front-end back-end design.
    • The front-end being the website, the back-end being the CMS and WebApp environment.
    • The front-end is optional, using only the backend makes it a WebApp.
  • Completely built according to the Model-View-Controller (MVC) model
    • Model = database
    • View = client-side html, css and javascript
    • Controller = serving the view to the user by using the model. It also navigates the user through the CMS (it knows which controller to call next).
• Webapp for desktop and mobile
  • due to the responsive layout design the CMS can be used on desktop browsers and browsers on mobile phones.
• Dark mode
  • Support for dark-mode and light-mode.
  • Switch with the click of a button
• Sandboxed modules.
  • Each module has it’s own “walled garden” to play in.
  • Add extra functionality by developing your own modules.
  • Zip it, offer it as a download and customers are able to install it by uploading it via the UI.
• Template engine:
  • Simple, fast, powerful and flexible.
  • No extra “template language” to learn, just use regular PHP code
  • Support for skins and templates.
    The skins are the layout that doesn’t change on a page (menu, header, footer)
    The templates are the content of a page (the actual blog post for example)
• Pagebuilder support
  • Built-in pagebuilder
  • pagebuilder has support for mobile devices (responsive layout)
  • when designing support for 3 viewports: desktop, tablet, mobile
  • Use the built-in pagebuilder or develop your own pagebuilder, it’s up to you.
• Automatic form generation with a form builder
  CMS5 can generate forms and
  • checks submitted values with validators (only numbers, email addresses, character whitelists/blacklists etc etc etc)
  • built-in support for ReCaptcha
  • built-in support for automatic CSRF tokens (Cross-Site Request Forgery)
  • built-in support for an automatic honeypot against spam
  • built-in retrieval of values from inputfields is by default XSS safe.
• Built-in DOM creator/editor
  • render HTML documents: by building a tree-like structure of elements and convert it into HTML.
  • HTML parser: read HTML, manipulate the DOM and render it.
  • HTML DOM purifyer to filter for XSS (Cross Site Scripting)
• Spam detector
  • a built-in spam detector that can be combined with the form generator
• TModel class
  • a model class which allows building SQL-less queries.
  • Designed to be database independent.
    By using SQL-less queries, SQL dialects are abstracted away.
    Write your own database class and talk to any relational SQL database you like (MsAccess, SQLite, Postgresql etc).
  • Atomic database transactions built-in by default.
    Inserts are done with a “commit” and “rolled back” on failure to ensure data integrity.
  • Support for automatic incrementing 64 bit integer iID as primary key.
  • Support for to manually maintained 64 bit integer iID as primary key.
  • Support for a 64 bit iRandomID. This can act as primary key with non-chronologic numbering.
    This prevents enumeration attacks with sensitive data on public websites (like order id, or customer id).
  • Support for UUID string as record identifier.
• Abstract controller class
  • enables caching to file and session without hassle.
  • It is even possible to cache only parts of a page!
• Multi language support
  • CMS5 has multi language support out of the box.
  • Separation of translation files (global, website-only, CMS-only, module-only).
    Out-of-the-box it supports English, but translate the language files to your own language to make it available in your language.
  • The language files are easy to read and edit .CSV files.
• Localisation support
  • Both framework and CMS support localisation (date, time and number notation can differ per region in the world)
  • Localisation settings adjustable on CMS user level. Each user can set their own localisation and language preferences in the settings menu.
• Multi website support
  • CMS5 has support for multiple websites out-of-the-box, not just one!
  • Suppors for multiple language for each individual site.
• Easy authentication implementation
  • Want built a login section on your website? i.e. webshop or tool?
    Just inherit the controllers and authentication class and save yourself tons of time.
    • Flood detection on IP addresses, usernames, failed and successful login attempts and many more.
    • fingerprinting the browser to limit chance of cookie stealing
• Cronjob support
  • For maintainance of the framework and your module to keep everything safe, fast and secure.
• Theme support
  • You can create custom themes for the CMS back-end and front-end website.
  • Create a fully customizable (white label) user interface and environment for your client (with their branding and functionality needs), without having to change the business logic.
    • You can create new controllers and views while keeping the models
    • You can easily switch between themes in the settings screen.
    • Back-end themes operate completely independent of themes of the frontend website(s) and vice versa.
• Speed
  • CMS5 is designed to be fast.
    • No unnecessary usage of OOP (which is slow in PHP)
    • if OOP is used, classes are flat
    • not every module and library is loaded on every page load, only what is needed.
    • Easy to use ratelimiter: just use 1 function: rateLimiter()
    • Configuration files contain global constants, instead of expensive CSV, JSON, INI or XML operations.
• Library
  • extensive libraries with userful functions, like: lib_string, lib_inet, lib_types etc.
  • send javascript notifications in an easy way to the browser
  • extensive library of WebComponents with server-side counterparts:
    • Checkbox – different styles and behavior

  • Stealth mode can be enabled in config, then blacklisted and non-whitelisted IP addresses don’t get to see any pages of the CMS to protect against directory enumeration attack.
  • TSysModel has default support for avoiding SQL injections
  • Several functions in lib_file to protect against directory traversal attacks.
  • Built-in features for XSS attacks (Cross Site Scripting) in forms and (server side) web components.
