A new pattern
Well, not so "new" to be honest, but now it's official (kinda). Every control panel page will follow a - completely optional :) - specific pattern, following this order:
# login
# user rights
# page specific code
# include extensions
# start html
css theme
panel elements (i.e menus)
action confirm messages ("welcome", "posted" etc.)
any other html or php code needed by the page
include plugins
# end html
All the years of making these pages bring us to the safe conclusion that this can be a nicely working page structure, for most cases.This is going to be included in a new update, hopefully coming soon.
Date fix
- New version with minor aesthetic changes.
- A small change in core files to fix the date still appearing when turned off from the settings.
MonoCMS 2.0
Here is the first MonoCMS of 2021, finally available for download. Some of the changes and new features include:
New custom session
Search filters in posts
New classes and functions
A sidemenu, as the default navigation menu
Safety improvements
Easily build and include plugins and extensions
New xml files, like 'dates.xml'
Asynchronous javascript used instead of an iframe when saving a post or page
Theme and Navigation pages are removed (for now at least).
Some old elements are also gone. Nothing against iframes, but the iframe to load a user icon from a folder, in settings, is also removed and replaced by an input element. See also the updated documentation page.
Refreshing website
A new version is almost here so some step by step changes are going to be made to the website as well in the next days. Some old blog posts are going to be removed and some pages as well, like the demo and the plugins page. Stay tuned.
