SiteSupra VCS Pro 2.1 Release Candidate (2.1.2215) Change Log for SSVCS Pro 2.1.2130 15.10.2003 ---------------------------- IMPORTANT NOTICE: The demo site supplied with this Release Candidate hasn't been finished. It lacks some planned for development blocks and content and for that reason some errors in demo site performance could be expected. ---------------------------- **************************** Fixes: -- SSVCS executes modules when block is inserted or updated on the page -- If requested non-existing URL contains a dot the error 404 is thrown -- access denied to /$% (in public mode) -- Search index isn't generated when page is saved -- View source rewritten **************************** New Features: -- SiteSupra Edit Site interface has changed, SiteSupra window is docked. CTRL+H - Hide/Show Menu -- MDI - Multiple Document Interface - open and tab multiple pages. Extremely useful when creating new pages with the template. Check the shortcuts: Ctrl+F4 (right click on tab) - close document Shift+Click on link -- open in new window Shift+Click on Ok button in SiteMap -- open in new window Shift+Click on Template button -- open template in new window -- Full screen mode - when login to Edit Site hold Shift and click OK. -- baseTitleAppend - in .htsupra, sets a string that is appended to the title -- baseTitleAppend_LANG - same as above, but for the language (each language can have a special title) -- New suTemplate class, check the blocks in demo site and http://forum.sitesupra.com/index.php?showtopic=585&st=0&#entry2159 -- page templates with inheritance - pages are based on templates. Templates can be combined (made of several levels) to control site-wide content and design, and to restrict the editing access to certain blocks on the page (blocks on low template levels are not editable). -- It is possible now to define in page template if the block is editable on the pages created with the template. Block system property "Overwrite". -- same as above is applicable for block properties. The properties of the block placed on the page template can be restricted for editing by CTRL+click on the property's name. -- It is possible to replace the block with another block on the page by changing block type. -- page layout - possible using external HTML layout templates instead of creating pages with SiteSupra built-in layout tool. One external HTML layout template can be shared by many templates and pages. The blocks within the external template are marked as HTML comments , which improves complex design development. Graphic design can be partially transferred to the external template. The drawback of external template is lacking of drag-and-drop block management in SiteSupra Edit Site. -- the parameter responsible for caching in SiteSupra has been changed. Instead of enableCache=0|1 now is disableCache (bitmask or 'all'). See .htsupra for details. -- Properties of "select" or "check" types have new flag - hide. Depending on the property's value the feature can hide other properties. Check block Gallery in the demo site. -- Link type properties has new flag "path", which automatically transforms the ID into the path. Check Search Input block in the demo site. -- Possibility to define proprietary function for search generation suGenerateSearch($search) in .htsupra -- Zoom page in Edit Site CTRL+NUM+ CTRL+NUM- -- F5 - refresh page -- Shift+F5 -- refresh supra -- New dropdown menu for selecting blocks presented on the page. Useful for selecting invisible blocks. -- Page info can be minimized/maximized by double-click on Page Info title bar. -- The properties couldn't be accessed for editing if page isn't checked-in. -- Auto refresh introduced when template/layout changed -- Workflow button is introduced to the SiteMap window and shows the workflow tasks for site structure. -- New block type introduced "html". Check Search Input block in the demo site. -- Language charset loading speed has been improved. SiteSupra is the best. Thank you for being on hold so long.
