Description

Powerful parental controls configuration to comply with necessary online safety and privacy laws

Set different rules for different regions so you can comply with varying laws across the globe (according to the region members set on their profile)

Automatically generates a portion of the automatic Privacy Policy block depending on your configuration; also define your own custom text (e.g. stating the laws which enforce each rule you set)

Optionally require and/or lock down from editing certain core profile fields for compliance: date of birth, time zone, and region

Optionally enforce IP address geo-location to match the country defined on a member's profile (useful for sites featuring region-locked content)

Parental consent: require the legal guardians of members under a certain age to fill out and send in a consent form (e-mailed to the child) to gain access

Lockout: prevent anyone under a certain age from logging in at all until they are of age

Website Legends of Nor'Ova
Screenshot Image
Short Description Legends of Nor'Ova is a website / database based on the table-top role-playing game of the same name. It contains Wiki+ pages and catalogues with a vast amount of knowledge regarding the game and its resources. It features a customized theme / templates. And it has a community for people to discuss the game.
Website Super Tilted
Screenshot Image
Short Description Super Tilted is a team of pinball enthusiasts who develop original digital pinball tables for the Visual Pinball X platform. This website showcases their releases and ongoing (public) projects. All tables are free to download. And people can request to join the team.

This site has some secret sauce behind the scenes: a custom block for Scorbit leader-boards (pinball scores), and some webhooks to alert the team in their Discord of certain site activity. It also takes advantage of the Support Tickets e-mail integration and using zones for "sub-sites" for each released pinball table.
Question Can I move a Wiki+ page?
Answer Technically, Wiki+ pages cannot be moved because they don't have a fixed location within the network structure. Creating child links forms a path, not a strict hierarchy. However, you can manipulate the breadcrumbs by ensuring only one path leads to a page.
Question Can I track changes made to Wiki+ pages?
Answer Yes, Wiki+ includes a revision history feature accessible through the page edit screen. This feature allows you to view a log of edits, see changes highlighted in tooltips, and revert to previous versions of a page as needed.
Question How can I view the complete tree structure of my Wiki+?
Answer You can access a view of the complete Wiki+ tree structure through the designated option in the admin panel. However, it's important to note that this view will reflect guest access permissions. Some pages may be hidden if they are restricted to specific user groups.
Question What moderation tools are available in Wiki+?
Answer Wiki+ offers several features to help you moderate user contributions and maintain the quality of information:
  • Email Notifications: When a new post is submitted, an email notification is sent to the designated staff address, alerting you to new contributions.
  • Permissions Control: You can configure permissions to determine whether regular users can create new pages or only contribute through posts.
  • Page History: The revision history feature allows you to track edits made to pages and revert to previous versions if necessary.
  • Composr Moderation Tools: Wiki+ integrates with Composr's site-wide moderation features, providing additional tools for monitoring and managing user contributions.
Question Can users contribute content to Wiki+?
Answer Yes, users can contribute content to Wiki+ through posts. When the "Show posts" option is enabled for a page, users can add their insights and information as posts below the main page content.

Question What should I avoid doing in Composr to maintain accessibility?
Answer Avoid using Comcode tags or other HTML elements that create dynamic effects in the user's browser, such as ticker and jumping. These can have a negative impact on navigation and scrolling.
Provide alternate information for multimedia you upload so those with auditory impairments can still understand the content.
Avoid creating multiple content items with the same title, as this can lead to accessibility issues and general user confusion.
Question How does Composr handle forms for accessibility?
Answer The web standards checker ensures that form labels are properly positioned and explicitly associated with their controls.
It also checks that form elements have a logical tab order and are keyboard operable.
Question How does Composr ensure accessible data tables?
Answer The web standards checker enforces proper markup for data tables, including identifying row and column headers, and associating data cells with header cells.
It ensures that tables are not used for layout (flex boxes and HTML grids are preferred for mobile responsiveness) unless they make sense when linearized.
Composr provides summaries for tables to aid non-visual user agents in understanding their structure and content.
Question How does Composr handle color contrast for accessibility?
Answer Composr is designed with high graphic standards that aim to avoid poor color contrast in the default theme and Theme Wizard. But it is not perfect, especially for dark mode themes.
Webmasters are still responsible for ensuring sufficient contrast in their own content and in custom themes.
Question How do I provide text equivalents for images and multimedia in Composr?
Answer Composr's web standards checker ensures that alternative text (using the "alt" attribute) is provided for images. It will warn if any images do not contain alt text.
For multimedia, webmasters are responsible for providing captions and auditory descriptions either in the multimedia itself, on the description of the media, or uploaded as a caption file.
Question How can I make sure my Composr website is accessible?
Answer Enable the web standards checker in Composr while editing templates. Also do the same when previewing edited or new Comcode pages.
Use the provided accessibility options in the Admin Zone to customize the webmaster experience according to your accessibility needs.
Follow the webmaster concerns outlined in the "Helping improve site accessibility for disabled users" tutorial.
Regularly test your website using third-party accessibility validation tools such as the WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool or the AChecker.
Question What accessibility features are built into Composr?
Answer Composr has an inbuilt web standards checker that helps ensure compliance with accessibility guidelines.
Composr provides automatic sitemap generation functionality, a default sitemap page, and an advanced menu editor to manage navigation.
Composr supports ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications), which helps make dynamic content accessible.
Composr includes options in the Admin Zone to fine-tune the webmaster experience for specific accessibility requirements.
Question Does Composr comply with accessibility standards?
Answer - Yes, Composr complies with the highest level of the WCAG (version 1.0 at the time of writing), level 3.
- Composr also meets Section 508 guidelines, XHTML and CSS specifications, and the highest level of ATAG.
- Composr conforms to these standards throughout, from user-facing screens to administrator interfaces.
