Continuing our practice of enhancing our plugins, we're glad to announce many enhancements in the "Directory / Pages Plugin" and its extensions:
 

1) New Page Wall / Activity Feeds for Pages with excellent features like: Feeds Filtering, Info Tooltips, Auto-loading of feeds and many more! Users can also Tag Pages in their status posts. Page Admins will get notification updates and emails when their Page is tagged in someone's post. (This is dependent on the new "Advanced Activity Feeds / Wall Plugin")

 2) Browse pages for all Extensions:
The various content extensions for "Directory / Pages Plugin", like Photo Albums, Videos, Reviews, Notes, Documents, Events, Offers, etc now have their own widgetized browse pages listing collectively the respective contents from all Directory Items / Pages.

You can choose to place links for these pages in the Main Pages Navigation Menu, and manage them. You can also choose to place the respective links for these pages in your site header navigation menu or in any other menu of your choice.

This enhancement now enables you to highlight those content types from Pages on your site that are important to your site's concept. Example, if Photo Albums and Reviews for Pages are important feature of your website, then you can choose to show the links for their browse pages in your Main Pages Navigation Menu.

3) Search Forms for all Extensions:
The extensions of "Directory / Pages Plugin" were already integrated with SocialEngine's in-built search engine. We have now also developed search form widgets for the content from extensions. These widgets are placed on the browse pages of these extensions and can also be placed at other locations as per your requirements.

4) Widgetized View pages for Extensions:
The main content view pages for the following extensions have been made widgetized. You can now configure the layouts and widgets for these content pages from the Layout Editor:
