Hot on the heels of our LightCMS redesign on Monday, today we launched seven new features in our Water, Sky, and LightCMS products.
"Forgot your password" functionality
If you forget your password, you can have the system send you an email with simple instructions on how to reset your password.
Addition of "event time" to calendar events
Thus far, events have only been scheduled by date. Now you can add a time to your events.
Drag and drop reordering in the Files & Links element
You no longer have to go to another screen to reorder your links, just click and drag them to where you want them to be.
Improved Role Manager
Managing roles now happens right on the user info screen rather than on a separate screen. Available roles will appear with checkboxes for easy updating.
Graphical website usage stats
Provides visual feedback (in a bar chart form) on how many pages, users, and storage you are currently using. Find it on the bottom of the Website Settings page.
Rename photos in your photo galleries
Easily rename photos in your photo galleries by simply clicking on the name and typing in a new one.
New template token for "logo"
You can now upload your website logo in the Website Settings page, and then use that logo automatically in your templates through the use of the <$logo/$> tag. All of our system templates that you find in your Design Gallery have been upgraded to support displaying your website logo, so give it a shot! Here are some example uses of the new token:
- <$logo/$> - Simply displays the website logo.
- <$logo href="/"/$> - Displays the logo, surrounding it with a link back to the home page.
- <$logo maxwidth="600"/$> - Displays the logo, but resized, if necessary, to fit the 600 pixel width constraint.
- <$logo maxheight="200" maxwidth="600"/$> - Same as above, but resized to fit both the specified height and width constraint.
- And finally, if the logo doesn't exist, you can specify alternate content between the start and end tags of the token, as follows:
<$logo$>
<h1><$websitename/$></h1>
<$/logo$>
This displays the logo if one exists. If it doesn't exist in the system, then it displays the name of the website instead.
That's it!
We hope you enjoy the new features. Don't think we're stopping there, because there's a lot more on the way!
