The display layer determines how that data will be arranged and provides a supporting framework around it. The design layer determines how it all will be ultimately presented to the user. Each layer is externalized from the others so that they inter-operate but can also be modified without fear of corrupting or interfering with the normal operation of any of the other layers. To Go Arcadia is quick and easy to implement since it already has code written to cover most of the regular tasks that content driven websites require. Default record types Arcadia contains several prebuilt record types including announcements, links, news, articles, meeting minutes and events.
Most sites can be up and running without having to write code for any new record types.
The user administration system allows for multiple levels of users and multiple levels of administrators. Features, utilities and content can be restricted to certain types of users. A user's ID is used throughout the system to track content additions and in the message board. The modules used in the administration and navigation sections are also used in the message board to allow users to edit their own posts or to provide site administrators with additional functions. Content and System Administration Content can be added through the site's administration page or, optionally, through the web pages themselves as users view records.
