A new update to the Mugo Page Bundle now allows for a straightforward migration from eZ Flow to Ibexa DXP. We’ve also added functionality to this versatile tool with a new rich text block type. 

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.

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.

Responsive images are a cornerstone of modern web design. They enable websites to deliver optimized visuals that adapt seamlessly to a wide range of devices, screen sizes, and resolutions. By serving appropriately sized images based on the user’s device capabilities, responsive images ensure fast load times, reduced bandwidth usage, and a consistent visual experience.

Recently, we added a new feature to the Mugo Library all-in-one CMS solution for library websites to make it easier for patrons to search for their event registrations. This enhancement makes providing quality customer service in libraries easier and puts more control in the hands of patrons.

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.

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.
