From Site Manager Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

This is a test version (Release Candidate) of SiteManager 7.0. It is not intended for production use. Changes are focused primarily on incompatibilities with IE8 and to a lesser extent IE6.

Changes are in addition to those from: SiteManager 7.0 RC3, Site Manager 6.1 RC2, Site Manager 6.1 RC1.

Improvements

  • Adding an image without a name automatically guesses a name based on the filename uploaded. E.g uploading "demo_photo.jpg" would set a default name/ALT tag of "Demo photo".
  • Users can now right-click on an image, select "Choose image" and make changes without having to upload a new image.
  • Page editor no longer opens/closes small popup window (just noticable in some browsers).
  • Significant rewrite of Page Editor HTML parsing, resulting in:
    • Most pages now look more like they should in the WYSIWYG editor
    • When saving, the editor screen dims
    • Slight speed improvement
  • Introduced new, improved tooltips for Page Editor. Displays name of component and the type of component used.
  • The RSS feed on the welcome screen is cached for a 5 minute period. In the event that a RSS feed cannot be read, SiteManager will attempt to use the last (potentially older) cached RSS instead. Otherwise a more descriptive error message is displayed.
  • Slight speed improvement when creating/saving all pages.

Fixes

  • Fixed new pages being given a URL prefix of "/" for their automated friendly URLs.
  • Fixed "Edit HTML" icon not working in IE6.
  • Fixed <sms:filegallery> component not allowing new Files to be added (post-rename).
  • Fixed "usermicrohomepages" not working properly when microsites were arranged in parallel with the same parent container. Slight performance reduction required.
  • Fixed Javascript error in IE8 when opening some popup dialogs / moving between tabs in a dialog.
  • Fixed placement of popup dialogs in IE8.
  • Fixed publish dialog not working in IE8.
  • Fixed "Must change password?" not being enforced after user logs in to SiteManager.
  • Flash banner folders now open in the left-hand side panel. This enables publication of individual Flash banner folders and banners.
  • Fixed bug where CSS from a site could malform the image used for the "Edit HTML" icon.
  • Fixed bug where finishing a page wouldn't set the correct (green) icon in some cases.
  • Fixed bug where internal publication/finish of a page that used a remapped legacy component, and had not had it's template recompiled since an upgrade would crash.
  • Fixed bug where components which had been renamed but not recompiled could not be edited in the page editor using the default properties dialogs.
  • Fixed layout issue with "Update Page URLs" in IE6 not handling URLs above a specific width (cropping scrollbar).
  • Fixed error for missing stylesheet not displaying missing filename.
  • Fixed some rare CSS conflicts between Plain Page Editor and in-site CSS.
  • Fixed bug where logging out during an unsaved page edit could leave a small popup window appearing in IE6.

Other changes

  • Increased size of "Update Page URLs" dialog to be wider (will almost fill a 800x600 display).
  • Page editor session expiry reduced to 5 minutes (was 60) for conflicts.
  • Made the number of templates usage count (in brackets, next to each template) appear for all users, not just Developers.
  • Flash banners now accept their "External URL to link to" as a full width text field, allowing for easier entry of long URLs. The field appears as a link in the folder view.
  • Marked "allowdoublesize" as deprecated for the <sms:video> component.
  • Removed deprecated Javascript from page editor (Taos Help, Taos Progress, Taos Tooltip).
  • Removed deprecated legacy HTML cleanup code from page editor.
