Introduction to the activity: DoceboLMS 3.0 introduced a lot of advanced features, now the system is really more powerful but makes things a little bit more complicated during the setup procedure. In this paragraph we will show some advanced function to fit your customization needs:

• Search engine optimization
• The forum
• Reserved area
• Recursive content
  

Search engine optimization: DoceboCMS is optimized for search engines. In fact, it follows all Google's statement to optimize the pages. So, for eeach page you can setup:

• Page title
• Page description
• Keywords
  

It's also possible, if you set the Mod_write in Apache (in the CMS configuration), to "transform" the page from, for example, index.php?page=126 to /6/content_management.htm. This will increase the visibility on Google. It's always better to use legal techniques (don't use ghost pages, or similar). In these cases Google will decrease your page rank and position.
Banner management: DoceboCMS manages 3 kind of banners:

• Images
• Flash
• External code (ex. Google Adsense)
  

The web publish system also allows to publish more than one banner in a page, for example one in standard position (header) and the other in a different block....
During the banner creation you can also decide:

• The user target group (registered users, anonymous users or both)
• Banner group
• In which macroarea the banner will be shown
• The language for that banner
  

This is the structure of DoceboCMS forums:

• Category creation
• Permissions for levels and groups
  

When you create a block it is possible to assign a specified forum only for that block. For instance, you can assign the forum related to the politics news to the politics news page. It’s also possible to create a forum for the Italian language and another for the English language. Obviously, you can create a page only for the forums, without any page assigment.





Reserved area: DoceboCMS is not only a software to create web sites or portals but it’s also a tool to create reserved area and to publish documents for groups of users.

First method, page level protection: you can create pages just for registered users or groups of users.
Second method: you can create public pages, but protected blocks, so the page will have different contents for different users. For instance, you can decide to: publish a text and a login block for unregistered users, or publish a document block only for a certain group of users… or more to publish the photo block only for friends, etc…

Recursive contents: as in other modules (documents, news, images) you can archive content with a “tree system” and structure like:

• Root
• Family images
  • Family husband
  • Parents
  • Uncle
  • Wife’s family
  • Parents
  • Uncle
• Job images
• Milan
• Rome
  

Using Docebo's block system you can publish a tree choosing whether to publish the sub-trees images too. For
instance you can choose to publish the “family sub-tree” and the “parents” and “uncles” sub-galleries, or not.
