Hey All,

We have a second beta of CMS Builder v2.14, beta list members will get a download link shortly.

This version is a maintenance release that also adds a date picker and WYSIWYG improvements.

Here is the changelog:

NEW FEATURES
- Datepicker: You can enable a datepicker icon and popup calendar under: Admin > General Settings > Advanced Settings

MINOR CHANGES
- WYSIWYG: "Paste as Text" button now defaults to on (and can be clicked to turn off)
- WYSIWYG: Added buttons for superscript, subscript, charmap, and "visual aid" (to hide/show hidden table borders)
- WYSIWYG: Old tinymce cache files are automatically removed on upgrade to prevent errors
- Usability: Command line scripts now always return text (not HTML) for MySQL errors
- Programmers: getSelectOptionsFromTable() now returns values in schema sort order
- Programmers: Moved all mysql_* utility functions into /lib/mysql_functions.lib

BUG FIXES
- Compatibility: Added workaround to jquery.ajax for hosts that incorrectly send "0" when no output should be returned
- Fixed error with some PHP versions "Notice: Only variable references should be returned by reference"
- Fixed Advanced menu commands on edit page, commands now direct to the correct page.
- Code: getRecordsCustom() now returns the last pageNum with content if pageNum is higher than totalPages.
- Misc Code and other minor improvements

If you're not already on the beta tester email list and you'd like to help beta test (you must own at least 1 CMSB license) please email dave@interactivetools.com to be added to the list.

Please post any feedback, questions, or bugs you find. Thanks!

Hi,

It would be possible to add a id on body.
Thus, the use of Custom.css would be more flexible.

For example, with <body id="home"> I could target only the form of connection.
#home #main-content form { width:400px... }

Currently, if I apply this style, it is applied to all the pages.

Thanks!

Hi Djulia,

We could probably do that. Do you have an idea for a naming scheme?

For example:
body-login (for login forms)
body-sectionName (for each section name)
body-admin (for admin pages)
etc?

We'll have to make sure it doesn't conflict.

Hi Dave,

Currently, I see :

-- No connected --
body-login (for login forms)
body-forgotPassword (for forgotPassword forms)

-- Connected --
Would It be possible to take values of the URL?
body-accounts (for menu=accounts)
body-sectionName (for each section name)

body-sectionName-actionName (for each action on section name)
or
body-actionName (for each actionName)

Thanks for your feedback! :)

Little off topic but could the flash uploader be replaced with a jquery alternative, at the moment we can only switch it off but the functionality is great but flash is increasingly less supported on devices. Could you possibly look in to this for future updates?

Hi Zaba,

We current use a component called http://www.uploadify.com/ which is actually jQuery and flash. We're thinking about switching to http://www.plupload.com/ which works with HTML5 as well.

Was there some specific devices you wanted to support?

Hi Djulia,

Thanks for the feedback, we'll get this added for the next beta.

What if we had:
menu-menuName and
action-actionName

And we put those in the body? Would that allow you to do everything you wanted to do?

Thanks!

Hi Dave, its mainly apple products that have taken the step to actively phase out any flash support. I use Mac myself and although it is still supported on desktop, the safari browser, my browser of choice is often grinding to a halt or performance diminishes when encountering flash so much so that I have disabled it in my browser. I think we are seeing a future emerging without flash as mobile flash development has ceased and I am sure this will extend to desktop as adobe works on adapting it to modern open standards such as html 5 and jquery. Anyway I just wondered if you had looked at this one as an alternative.

Zaba,

Thanks, I'll check it out. We're working on an updated uploader for an upcoming version so that might prove useful.

Cheers!
