EGOCMS version 25 is a rolling release! This means that you can update from EGOCMS version 24 to version 25 without migrating.
New module: AI
EGOCMS version 25 introduces functions that utilise artificial intelligence to simplify the day-to-day work with EGOCMS for editors and improve your users' interactions with your website.
Article generation
- Select existing text to improve, summarise or supplement it with the help of artificial intelligence.
- Spelling and grammar can be corrected using the AI assistant.
- You can communicate with the artificial intelligence via a chat and thus optimise your text interactively and dynamically.
- New content can be created in the editor with the help of artificial intelligence.
Chatbot
- A chatbot can be integrated via a separate page type.
- Complex setting options allow the chatbot to be used for many conceivable scenarios.
- Use the chatbot as an alternative or even as a replacement for your classic keyword search.
- Conversations can be held with the chatbot. The answer to a question can be followed up with further questions.
- By default, the chatbot draws its knowledge exclusively from the content maintained in your EGOCMS.
- Sources from the Internet can also be included as an option.
- The authorisations already set for the content maintained in your EGOCMS are automatically taken into account.
- Your users only receive answers from sources for which they are authorised.
The chatbot also offers many other functions, such as
- Inclusion of sources from multiple clients, incl. documents (PDF, Word, etc.).
- Creation of multiple categories: Your users can have conversations with the chatbot about a specific area of knowledge.
- Answers can be rated.
- Automatic reading of the last answer.
We can connect different LLMs for the AI:
- various ChatGPT models such as 4o or 4o-mini and also newer models such as o1
- models hosted by EGOTEC such as Llama
- or hosted by you and we provide maintenance and support
For self-hosting including maintenance and support, we have launched our new project lalamo.cloud.
Please contact our EGOCMS support team if you would like to find out more about the AI module or use it yourself.
Features
- When pages, users, groups, roles, workflows and e-mail templates are finally deleted, any where-used lists that are no longer required are automatically tidied up.
- The video conversion to MP4 is now a step forward.
- Newsletter V2: The "Newsletter" tab can be deactivated for each client.
- The display of the overview in the user administration has been optimised.
- If "Save and Publish" is active, there is now also the "All unpublished changes" desklet for superusers. The previous desklet has been renamed "My unpublished changes".
- A lock can be set for the deletion of clients, which only allows deletion if the client is not used anywhere.
Compatibility
- PHP 8.2 to PHP 8.4 (PHP 8.4 support is new compared to V24)
- tinyMCE update to version 7.6.0.
- The settings for "Mobile Design" and "Mobile URL" have been removed. It is recommended to always use a responsive design.
If you are using Elasticsearch, EGOCMS version 25 requires the use of Elasticsearch version 8 (at least 8.15.0).
Switching to Elasticsearch 8
If you obtain Elasticsearch via the EGOCMS image, a compatible version 8 is already available. Use the following image for this:
registry.git.egotec.cloud/egocms/docker/elasticsearch:8
The search index must be completely recalculated after the changeover. To do this, log in to the EGOCMS admin area as a superuser and activate superuser mode (click on the lock symbol at the top right). Now open the following script in a new browser window:
bin/admin/su/update_search_index.php?allsites=1&reset=1
If you have any questions or problems with the migration to Elasticsearch 8, please contact our EGOCMS support team via our ticket system.
