Breadcrumb overrides

Advanced banning: Set your own banning rules for different hack attack codes. Even create your own ban pages (e.g. to mimic law enforcement bans for spammers).

Code overrides: Implement modifications to the Composr code without directly editing the original code by creating _custom files. This makes upgrading much easier. Also supports contentious_overrides hooks and the override_api for more advanced overriding.

Many different hook types allowing for modifying or extending Composr without modifying or overriding the code.

• Blog vs. Non-Blog Posts: Choose to display blog posts only, regular news posts only, or both.
• Category Filtering: Limit results to specific news categories.
• Double Filtering: Apply a second category filter for a two-level categorization system (useful for large sites).

• main_rss block: Suitable for main content areas
• side_rss block: Designed for sidebars and smaller spaces

• Wider audience reach: Your content becomes accessible to those using feed readers and aggregators.
• Content repurposing: Other websites can incorporate your feed, increasing visibility.
• Increased traffic: Users discovering your content in feeds may visit your website directly.
• Staying on top: Those who use your RSS feeds will see when you post new news articles.

• title: The article title
• url: The article URL
• rss: The URL of your news RSS feed

• Visitor: Any one or device who visits the site but is not necessarily identified
• User: Any visitor who can be identified (e.g. has a session ID or tracked IP address)
• Guest: A user who is not logged in (in Conversr, they all share a special "Guest" ID / account)
• Member: A user who is logged in with a registered account on the website (they have a username and a member ID)
• Author: Specific to the authors addon, a profile of an entity (could be a member, individual, or even a company) who makes content for the site
• Subscriber: A user who receives newsletters from the site (they do not necessarily have to be a member)
• Submitter: A user who submitted content (usually a member, but could be a guest if the site is very open to submissions)
• Staff: A member who moderates any significant portion of the website
• Super-moderator: A staff member with global moderation capabilities
  • Moderator: Same as super-moderator but does not have those capabilities globally; they may only be able to moderate certain sections or content
• Super-administrator: A staff member with literally undeniable access to everything on the site
  • Administrator: Same as super-administrator but they might not have access to the most elevated of privileges such as accessing maintenance scripts

• Password Strength Setting: Administrators can set a minimum password strength requirement, forcing members to choose stronger passwords. Password strengths are calculated on a scale of 1-10 using algorithms that take into account letters (including case), numbers, symbols, repeat characters, use of dictionary words, and use of usernames / dates of birth / e-mail addresses.
• Forced Password Resets: Administrators can force specific members or all members to change their passwords upon next login, enhancing security in case of potential breaches.
• Expiring passwords: Administrators can require members to change their password after so many days.
• Encrypted CPFs: If the server has the OpenSSL PHP extension installed, specific CPFs (such as ones containing other passwords) can be encrypted to protect sensitive member data in case of a server compromise.
