The Main module is the foundation of the system. It is the glue that concretes other modules hence providing the interactive nature of the system architecture. The Main module allows to create, maintain and manage an unlimited number of web sites.
Main features :
- support for multiple site
- common authorization system for all sites
- unlimited number of user groups

- simplified template management system. each template can have its own design, set of components, public scripts and other elements
- unlimited number of templates that can be applied them to one or more sites
- site templates can be edited in WYSIWYG editor
- multilingual user interface of the Control Panel
- native UTF-8 support
- automated updates through the use of the SiteUpdate technology
- module management system
- e-mail message templates to send messages upon an event (new forum post, subscription request, registration information retrieval etc)
- facility to temporarily lock access to the public section
- check the technical requirements conformance and the file system access permissions
- fast dynamic content technology
- dynamic information caching technology
- group operations on report elements (deleting, activation, and etc)
- SQL queries to the database
- sharing authentication between different site domains
- user-defined event handlers
- individual user interface customization
- gradual update system
- support for SEF (Search Engine Friendly) URLs
- HTML caching mechanism
- easy-to-follow wizards
Control Panel :
The Control Panel provides fast access to necessary control sections. It offers five functionally complete groups: Content Section and Categories ,Component, Module and Plugin will help you get acquainted with the system management tools.
Site Map
The unique site map generator helps you keep your site map up-to-date. The Site Map always contains only files and folders that the current visitor is permitted to view.
Multilanguage support :
Support for multiple languages, enables you to easily publish information in many languages. The Control Panel user interface can be rendered in any available language. Currently, several interface languages are available.
Security System :
The security system is a set of rules allowing to restrict user authorization to provide a website with a particular security level. The following security rules are available:
- Session IP mask - with this protection on, theft of a cookie file containing the session information becomes useless. This type of protection is the most effective in struggle against XSS/CSS attacks.
- Maximum session lifetime - limits the maximum session duration. This protection is used to avoid incorrect session lifetime settings in the php.ini file.
- Maximum lifetime of stored authorization. This protection makes any XSS/CSS attacks ineffective. This protection makes theft of authorization data stored on a personal computer useless. All data are generated randomly and do not contain the current computer IP address or any traceable cryptographic information.
- Checkword timeout - defines the maximum time during which the password recovery control word is stored; it allows to minimize risks of site attacks via the recovery mechanism by intercepting e-mails.
- Security rules are applied to user groups. System administrators can define security rules manually or using of the predefined security levels .
Automatic registration prevention :
The Main feature supports the essential feature aimed to prevent unauthorized registrations - CAPTCHA (completely automated public Turing test to tell computers and humans apart). If CAPTCHA is enabled, a user must enter a string with the displayed random symbols to register.
This method ensures that the forum forms will not be abused by robots that are not capable to recognize text on images.
File Caching :
The mechanism has been developed to reduce the server load by saving results of the database requests.
