Limited RichText formatting per field in the Ibexa DXP admin UI

When creating content in Ibexa using the RichText Editor, it is easy to realize that not every RichText field needs the same toolbar. A ”Body” field may need headings, embeds, and tables. A ”Short Description” or ”Caption” field usually needs bold, italic, and little else. When every field gets the full CKEditor toolbar, it might make editors waste time or even make them think they can add markup your templates were never built for.

Legacy eZ Publish solved this. Ibexa DXP does not, at least out of the box. In this blog post we describe how we added this feature to Ibexa 4.

Improvements to the Mugo Library events calendar system

The latest improvements to the Mugo Library platform focus on enhanced usability for library staff. Since these back-end improvements aren’t as noticeable as the front-end user experience, we wanted to take the opportunity to give a peek “under the hood”, and showcase what makes the Mugo Library event and calendar solution ideal for public libraries. Our new enhancements include expanded reporting, a new viewing interface, back-end patron search, and integration with the meeting room module.

Graduated authentication for user accounts

One of our clients needed to migrate all their customers to another entitlement service, requiring them to create new Single Sign-On (SSO) accounts. Concerned that many customers might struggle with the SSO setup process and overwhelm the customer support team, Mugo designed a "graduated authentication" system that dynamically balanced temporary free access with required account creation, allowing our client to manage customer support workload in real time. Instead of forcing all customers to the SSO setup at once, a smooth transition was implemented, providing immediate support for anyone who needed it.

Boosting specific fields in Solr to favor exact matches

Many of our solutions use Solr as a search engine. We find that Solr can provide powerful and flexible search experiences, customizable through its configuration. In this case, we resolved an issue where very generic names of important pieces of content were making them harder to find.

Centralizing custom HTTP response headers with a Symfony event listener

Caching plays a critical role in the performance and scalability of websites. One of the most important tools for controlling caching behaviour is the Cache-Control HTTP header. This header defines how responses are cached by browsers, reverse proxies, and CDNs, and how long they remain valid.

In complex websites, different page types often require different caching strategies. For example, on a news website, an article page may be cached for a few hours to a day, while the homepage — where content changes frequently — may only be cached for a few minutes.
