I have may clients asking for the flv player and I have some videos to load on many sites. I see many flv players out there now, but if you could play one at a time right now that would be great. I know the demand for a playlist will come, but I know that will take time/money.

1. Page Edits: put more key items on the main edits tab (title, description, author, date, thumbnail, whatsnew) and organize the other sections to be more intuitive. Add ability to add a thumbnail from this section rather than just select from a list.

2. Style Sheets and Style Editing: make style sheets global to templates and add a visual styles editor to template editor so that users dont have to tackle editing the css directly (not simple or realistic!)

3. Editor: Perhaps explore a different wysiwyg editor with strong css support (spaw or tinymce) or simplify the FCKeditor (there are way too many options on the toolbar). Restrict the editor to use css styles only. In the Add Image feature, set the tool to go straight to the image listing, so you dont have to click on Browse Server.

4. Welcome Screen: organize icons on the welcome screen to be in sections that make options more organized, and are more in sync with other control panel product layouts. For example, have sections for:
- My Information (Edit my profile, my approvals, etc)
- Modules (icons for installed modules, add more modules, etc)
- Site Management (user management, templates, navigation, etc)
- Admin (backups, reports, server config)

5. Newsletter module - items sent from the newsletter module should always have a default info/unsubscribe footer on.

6. Navigation Editing: Show a site tree with status info next to each page and a link to edit link. Also when adding items to the nav bar, add a drop down option to select an installed module *or* a link to a url.

Thanks!

If you want to separate paragraphis with a tag, then you can use -enter. This will enter a tag into your code, and will look just like two 's in vertical spacing down the page.

There is a reason to enter tags: That is if you want to change the paragraph formatting on the page, then you need to use tags, which separates the formatting containers. (If you only use 's on your page, and you want to center a specific paragraph, then the entire page would likely go centered.)

If you use tags to separate these sections, then only the text inside the tag container would center. Remember this tip also when working with numbered and bullet lists. tags will help keep your sanity and not indent the entire page!

Play with this feature, and see what you think.

- the ability to set styles for all items on the calendar page
- have more flexibility in calendar layout (eg a small calendar grid with adjacent detail when a day is selected, as well as day, month, and year views)
- feature for visitors to submit an item to be approved on the calendar
- show the whole event name in month grid view rather than cutting it off

I think the most dramatic upgrade I'd love to see to the SU CMS would be to have unordered list menus. A quick example:

========================================

Nav link 1
Nav link 2

Subnav link 1
subnav link 2

Nav link 3

========================================

UL lists give much more flexibility with CSS styling, and one can always create a separate template that gives CSS dropdown capabilities, which a user could choose to use but wouldn't come as default to keep it simple for people.

Interested to know if anyone else has thoughts on this.

Thanks, and keep up the good work!

To turn on the SSL login feature, follow these steps:

1) Login to Welcome Menu -> Admin Management -> Site Configuration and Navigation -> Advanced tab.

Notice the field: SSL url:
Right below this field is a link [autofill] and if you click this link, the SSL certificate for your specific server will be automatically filled in for you.

Save this page, and the next time you login, you will notice the SSL secure lock on the login page, and a confirmation page that you have been logged in securely.

We hope you enjoy this new feature, and encourage you to stay tuned for more!

Now you can have unlimited categories / subcategories for your cart items. We show a "tree" list of your existing categories. You can set a rank, a thumbnail and an intro text for each category. You can move a category (including all children) to a different parent.

Now you can automatically show your items grouped by categories, by selecting the First Search = "product categories" in Cart Configure - Layout tab.

WYSIWYG Editor in Add/Edit Cart Items

Now you can set in Cart Configure -> Layout tab if you want to use the WYSIWYG editor in add/edit cart items. You can have 2 editors, one for the item short description and one for item detail page description.

Comments for Shipping Options

We added a new field for comments into each shipping option. We show this comment for each shipping option into the checkout page. Also, we store now the shipping option after checkout and you can see it in Cart -> Transaction Record.

All these changes are available starting with SimpleUpdates v.5.8.24.

Hope you will enjoy these improvments. Please let us know if you have observations.]]>
