Create your website feature updates

If you came straight to this page from your web site administration page, please see below to see developments since your version.

How do you tell what version you have?

With version 3+ websites, you can see the label in your administration panel 'create your website 3' or 'create your website 4.x.x'. With version 4 onwards, clicking on the link will bring you to this page which will list newer versions that are available.

Pre-version 3 - if there is no version number at the top of the page, you are on version 2 or older!


How do I update my site?
In future, we may offer an automatic update. However, at present, updates will need to be requested.


How much do updates cost?

There is one free update per year (in any given year) by request, and additionally this may automatically be performed by us free of charge if it is felt that an update offers enhanced security or significant usability updates. If you require updates beyond this level, they may be chargeable, at our discretion.

When updated, a site will be taken to the current version, which will be reflected within the administrative panel. At that stage, a MySQL database and file backup of the site both before and after the update will have been made. In addition, your site will be enhanced with the facilities it previously had and additional major facilities may not be automatically switched on but will be available as extra features for you to add and use as you require (for instance adding search boxes, new blog software etc.).


Version update list (newest at the top)


The CMS continues to be updated, with a major reskinning and revamp of facilities in early 2021.

This is now listed within a members only area to allow clients to decide when to update.

Version  updated to 5.1.5.9 (10.9.19) Gallery editing tools have been added for text formatting to both horizontal and vertical galleries.

Version  updated to 5.0.9.7 (29.11.17) With the default preference for new sites now being secure https, where there is ecommerce or any response forms are used, we have now introduced an automated secure website update facility to make existing site update and new site production faster when using https.

Previously when updating a site to https, all file and menu references would have needed to be updated manually in templates, menus, page content, etc. With this new update you are now able to tick one option that updates the entire site, images, links, menus and templates all in one go.

Any references within pages to http links or images on the site pages and template(s) are automatically translated to https upon publishing. This process will save large amounts of time in checking for old insecure content on pages and template(s) and makes the https update very simple. If you use any off-site JavaScript files, the references to those must be made https to complete the update. The https update requires a secure server certificate, which we can provide with our hosting.

In addition, images can be linked to any url required - so either to pages on site or to external websites.

Version  updated to 5.0.1.8 (1.02.17) We have swapped functionality of new line and new paragraph insertion around when using Chrome browser to edit, as with the Firefox version in 5.0.1.7, below.

Files only needed.

Version  updated to  5.0.1.7 (27.01.17) We have swapped functionality of new line and new paragraph around when edting the system using Firefox, as new lines only occurred if you held shift when hitting the enter key, whereas paragraphs were added when hitting the enter key. This changeover was necessary, as paragraphs often make new div tag containers, which can disrupt a content box area, splitting it incorrectly and preventing re-editing by our automated system. New paragraphs are seldom necessary, as new lines achieve the same thing, and so the functionality was swapped.

Version  updated to 5.0.0.1 (28.12.16) An option has been added to the content box facility (div tag editor) to optionally prevent the box from scaling in a mobile view. This is useful where a tight column is required to maintain a specific layout in the content area, which would be ruined if the column was to scale to fill 100% width, as currently happens with the content boxes.

Files only needed.

Version  updated to 5.0.0.0 (27.12.16) Representing a huge step forwards, this major update has added a visual mobile ready template editor to the CMS. Previously, it was possible to predesign mobile ready websites and import them, add the CSS and visually alter the template manually. This new version allows the production of a website layout from scratch, using div tags (content boxes). Using our new content box editor, it is now possible to place and re-edit content areas in the template and to define, produce and edit resolutions of the website template.

Files and database updates needed.

Version  updated to 4.9.1.4 (24.12.16) Tidied up the content area editor display (div tag editor) for when a height isn't set by admin for a content box, so that it shows as blank.

Version  updated to 4.8.9.9 (8.12.16) A change was made with how the menu functions, to update the mobile menu when a admin specifies that the first page in a menu does not appear as part of a horizontal menu dropdown. The previous desktop menu would automatically allow user navigation to the first page in the desktop version if it was hidden, by selecting the menu heading. This allows for a tidy top menu when only one page is in a section. However, the previous version prevented clicking of this first page within the mobile menu version, as it functions in a different manner, and so this has been fixed so that the first page shows in the mobile version, even if it does not in the desktop.

Files only needed.

Version  updated to 4.8.9.8 (4.12.16) Style options added to allow bespoke bullet points for both ordered and unordered list bullet points, so that you can have an image appear as a bullet point instead. The style is selected from a drop down within the bullet point style option. The images are kept at a set location (that can easily be changed within the site installation set up) so that it is as easy as browsing new images to change the bullet point images used.

Files only needed.

Version  updated to 4.8.9.7 (1.12.16) Minor update made to how CSS files are handled in the system due to recent changes made in the system to handle in page edited CSS being incorporated into the head of the document.

Version  updated to 4.8.9.6 (10.11.16) Substantial time savings have been made in publishing times, which is especially important for very large sites, as part of an ongoing review of some older parts of the menu system.

Files only needed.

Version  updated to 4.8.9.5 (28.10.16) Additional configuration options have been added to the vertical and horizontal menus to allow finer control of the background and rollover image options so that the background images are separate for the sections and subsections / pages. This allows background images behind the menu to have the option to be visible if necessary, by using a clear image in the menu configuration of the section headings.

Files and database updates needed.

Version  updated to 4.8.9.4 (24.10.16) We have added the content area re-edit feature to the editable areas outside the main page editor, so that re-editing of those content box settings (Div tags) is also possible, as per update 4.8.9.3.

Files only needed.

Version  updated to 4.8.9.3 (21.10.16) We have added a 're-edit settings' feature to the content box (Div tag) so that those boxes that can be added directly to pages can be re edited using a drop down box to them. This allows editing of on page content box positions and properties, such as backgrounds, padding etc., even after they are formatted and content is added, and gives huge flexibility in altering individual page content layouts over time.

Version  updated to 4.8.9.2 (12.10.16) Update and clarification of labelling and modification of order of display of menu items for both menu editing and addition, and also for manual addition of links into the menu.

Version  updated to 4.8.9 (27.9.16) The CSS vertical menu has been enhanced to work in the same way as the horizontal menu, allowing pages to fold out automatically from sections upon mouse over. In addition, on the mobile version of the vertical menu, it was necessary to click on the section to view the menu pages but now the pages in a section fold out in the mobile view when the section / subsections are clicked. This enhancement allows better user experience on sites with vertical menus and brings them into line with the existing horizontal menu facility.

Version  updated to 4.8.8.9 (26.9.16) Minor update in Div Tag (content area) facility with some improvements to preset choices, prompts and new icon.

Version  updated to 4.8.8.4 (23.8.16) We have enabled the content boxes (div tag) editor box for extra editable areas and not simply the main editable area.

Version  updated to 4.8.8.3 (16.8.16) Correction made to date of first publishing for blog articles. This is displayed in conjunction with last updated date of the article.

Version  updated to 4.8.8.1 (2.8.16) To make the editing of content boxes (div tags) easier, dotted borders have been added within the editor display to show their position when no border is defined. These are removed when published and in preview mode, so that they do not alter the layout of the final page.

Files only needed.

Version updated to 4.8.8.0 (21.7.16) It is now possible for the addition of multiple content areas (Div Tags) within the page at the same time. Each is added with the same settings when multiple content areas are added at the same time. This means you can simultaneously add a number of content columns or boxes, each at a percentage or set width, and they will then correctly place themselves and move as you scale the page to mobile.

Files only needed.

 

Version updated to 4.8.7.9 (18.7.16) The 'Div Tag' editor (content areas within the page) has been improved so that the areas added scale to 100% when in a mobile device, if using a mobile template. This happens whether the areas are specified as a set width in pixels, or a percentage of the page. Images within the areas are restricted to the size of the outer boundary of the box and so can scale larger within the mobile area if required, by making them slightly out-sized within the original box.

In addition, we have simplified the editor so that only vital options show when adding the area. Other options, like colour, padding and background images can be reached using the advanced option, to add more complexity to the content area if required.

The CSS styles used during this process are placed in the head of the document, rather than in line in the page code, in order to keep the page speed fast.

Version updated to 4.8.7.8 (13.7.16) Character set updated within the admin panel to better cater for unusual characters displayed within the editor.
