@DataHell
Thank you for developing component Mikro!
Seems everything I need is there, however articles created with Mikro have rating but they don't support comments as the regular Elxis articles.
And my suggestion was to have the same rating system for the comments, not the posts themselves.

It's easy to disable rating for the posts, so I am pretty OK with this, even though I miss the ability to comment on Mikro articles.

Please consider implementing rating for the regular Elxis comments
Code on, DataHell! You are the best!

Mikro has already much more features than those it should have as a micro blogging component. I thought of adding comments but I finally decided not to as it would be too much for this kind of application.
It is easy however to add disqus comments if you like on article details page.

Manage menu items in Elxis 4.2 became easier.
3 new action buttons were added.

1. Translations: Provides add/edit item's translations for all site languages in a single window (lightbox).
2. Copy: Copies selected menu item and all its sub-items to an other menu collection.
3. Move: Moves selected menu item and all its sub-items to an other menu collection.

I attach a screenshot.

Many more improvements have been made on Elxis 4.2. We will reveal some of them in the near future.

[datahell]

We have completed 22 tasks on Elxis 4.2 till now.
These tasks are updates, improvements and new additions on Elxis core, built-in extensions, and libraries. Latest completed task is the update of the CKEditor.

You have still some time to request improvements and additions for Elxis 4.2. Do it now, before the development is complete!

A request based on something I noticed:

When a menu item is a sub-menu of another menu item, in the mobile version it doesn't show at all.

[datahell]

Elxis (module menu) always generates a full multi-level menu.
It is the template (css) that handles what to show and what to hide on mobile devices.

BTW I believe it is better to hide menu sub-items in mobile devices because:
1. We need the menu to be as simple as possible
2. Hover actions do not work on mobile devices. You can't have "on mouse over" (something:hover) events on touch devices because there is no mouse/cursor...

An issue concerning the use of the multisite option:

In the subsite, the administrator needs to check each unsynchronized item one by one so that they can be synchronized. It would be quite helpful to do this task in bulk form (a button for "Synchronize all" or radio buttons next to each item for click-and-select).

[datahell]

Synchronization equals installation. It is better to install/synchronize one extension per time in order to be able to view possible installer warnings and errors.

26 TODO tasks for Elxis 4.2 have been completed till now!
810 files in Elxis core have been modified, added or deleted till now!

Last update: AJAX login/logout option (login without page refresh) and module Login update.
Current DEV version: Elxis 4.2 Icarus DEV rev1527
