Elxis 4.2 requests

[Amigamerlin]

Why to reset the hits counter, this will make the counter fake.

Because sometimes, at least for me, you need to modify a page and see how it looks, modify again and see, modify and see. This increase the visit counter but you know that this number is not real since you was the one that increased the visit. IMHO having this feature, once you have finished the page review, you can reset the page stat and, starting from that moment, page hits are real.
I hope I was clear 

You can set images size from component content parameters.

Thank's my friend !!! I found it.

[datahell]

OK, done!
Added reset options on articles date and hits counter.
This change will be available in Elxis 4.2.

[Amigamerlin]

Thanks Datahell. Is there any place where I can see all the request, what was accepted, what was not accepted and what is in development?
Thank you.

[Amigamerlin]

Thanks again.
Some Questions: What about schedule ? What about the availability to hide intro text? What about icon on menu? These request are in work in progress or will not be applied?

[datahell]

These are some of the tasks that are currently completed. Not all, and not those that are in progress or not yet started. We still have work to do.

On elxis 4.2 i would like to see also 2 more things in order to make administration easier

1. Option to change creation date of an article because it gives you the freedom to create and publish your work whenever you think is ready.

2. Option to see and search for multilingual titles of the not main language, into articles. As it is now you have to find the article at the main language, to open it and see the other multilingual titles. This becomes tiring when you have a site with 100s of articles.

[datahell]

Change article date: We added the option to reset article's date. When you check reset the date becomes the current one.
Manage multilingual titles: You can select an item (article, menu, module, etc) and click to see/add/delete/edit all item's translations in a single lightbox window. It is very handy and useful on multilingual sites.

Both these new features I believe they cover your needs.

[Amigamerlin]

Again another request:

1) Schedule not only for article but for module too !!  Is really interesting have the possibilities to can schedule the module appearence in relation to certain date (I'm going to figure Christmas, Easter etc).

[nikos]

For the 1st OK and is positive that has been done

For the 2nd option the request - wish is to have the possibility to see (like a tree form) all multilingual titles before to click on the main language title. Or at least on mouse over of the main language title to be shown under it and the other multilingual titles, if they exist. In this way you can see very fast if for all articles you have translated material.

[datahell]

The problem with some of your requests is that they require modification of the database structure. We want to make the Elxis 4.1 to 4.2 update a files only update. We have also some very cool ideas (like custom content items in articles) that require database update which we scheduled for Elxis 4.3.

BTW, template Flex is ready and it will be the new default template for Elxis 4.2.

Change of author name

BTW thnx for change article date

[seadhna]

Hi there,
a small thing: where pages are paginated - could there be an option to view all? e.g. example.com/category/article.html?viewall=1

[datahell]

As requested the following options were added for article's page:
- Hide introduction text
- Hide article image
- Hide article's subtitle

The default value is to show all.

This change is available since Elxis 4.2 DEV [ Icarus ] rev1588

Possibility of making a menu items when making new page (as in the old version 2009.x)
