BackendPro 0.3.1 Released

22nd June 2008

Well I must first apologise to everyone for taking so long to get this next release out, but the last 2 months have been so busy with University finals, but they are all behind me now so as promised a new release. The majority of this release is a few new features which I was planning to incorporate in BeP for a long time. Examples of these are a dashboard for the control panel, conditional CSS files (for IE), features to use CSSTidy to optimise CSS code and many more.

Additions

  • Added a dashboard to the control panel front page.
  • Added cancel buttons to forms.
  • Added new CSS styles to create buttons.Added icon() to Page library.
  • Added a generate password feature to the member administration area
  • Added CSS caching using CSS Tidy in the Page library.
  • Added output_variables() to Page library.
  • Added conditional CSS files in the Page library.
  • Added meta tag creation into the Page library.

Modifications

  • Added a value option to <button> elements so the form can submit.
  • Updated some of the documentation so its simpler to navigate around.
  • Updated getUsers() in User_model.php to also fetch user profile columns.
  • Changed the version control system from including a date to release candidate, purely to be shorter.
  • Updated Nested_sets_model.php to remove the public attribute from the constructor

So head over to the BackendPro Development home and download it. Please as usual if you find any problems raise a ticket or post on the forum thread. As always if you want the latest updates keep an eye on the SVN repository.
