With our SVG module your OpenCms server can create graphically high emotive images on the fly. You simply define the basic look of the image with an template and vary it by parameters.
Some use cases:
- Security measure for input forms: prevent your forms from automated registrations by adding an image with a text that the sender has to type into an input field.
- Grapchical menu buttons: you define the appearance of your buttons with one or more SVG templates. You only have to give your resources a navigation text, as you would for a textbased menu. Annoying creation and uploading of the graphics is not necessary anymore. You can change the text in a twinkling of an eye.
- You want to have headlines comforming to your corporate identity? But you need a non-standard font and therefor are addicted to graphics? No problem for our SVG module! Just install your font on the server and let the module generate your headlines on the fly, just as we do on our pages.
- Appealing page hit counter: it not only looks better. You also may use it in pages that are statically exported! You can find an example on our Counter Module.
The template accepts one parameter named "name". Now you can try it on your own. Just type in a any word and press the "Send" button (the image opens in a new window).
