v2.3.0, Fantastic Facelift is finally revealed
This version is considered a major upgrade and as always we recommend testing prior to updating a production site (see below)! This stable release has many new features and addresses several issues in previous versions. We've already posted several news and blog articles discussing these new features.
Most of the 'new' features are optional, and by default are not implemented initially. The only real change you may require is to update any Twitter Bootstrap v2 based themes as we've moved most of the 'navbar' (menu) code out of the theme template into the navigation view template. Though your site will work without this edit, the menu will behave oddly. See this article for details.
Additional new features include:
updated default bootstrap theme (and the files to support it) to be more mobile friendly (responsive), esp. in tables
adds new touch enabled, responsive photo album slideshow view (default slideshow for bootstrap)
adds new optional search/filter to portfolio & faq showall views
adds new optional workflow features (revisions and approval) to blog, news, & text modules
module and item heading levels are now selectable within module configuration settings
adds optional ‘websnapr’ link thumbnail support to links module
adds module specific quick upload folder selection
updates several ‘widgets’ from YUI to jQuery variants (tag picker, calendar, list builder color picker, lightbox)
initial support for alternate/optional WYSIWYG editor - TinyMCE (works on Android devices)
initial support for alternate/optional file manager - elFinder (uses an OS file manager paradigm)
adds optional ‘hidden’ controls (checkbox, text, textarea) to forms to allow (prefilled) data fields unavailable on initial entry, but can be updated later (e.g. paid, notes)
adds new ‘church site’ site sample database in addition to ‘sample site’, ‘blog’ and ‘eCommerce store’ during installation
vastly improved SEO for events, eventregistrations, & products – event & product data (dates, cost, reviews, etc…) now available to search engine as rich snippets – more accurate meta data made available to search engines
