Elxis 4.3 requests

[Amigamerlin]

IMHO another two usefull improvement request:

1) Users Online info: IP Address should have the option (inside configuration) to show the numeric IP adress instead something like ffff:4f31:.... etc, adding the availability to georeferencing the ip address as option (another usefull feature that was lost from 2009.x to elxis 4.x)

2) Always in Users Online should let me detect Robot (on/off another usefull feature that was lost from 2009.x to elxis 4.x).

An alternative to list/grid view is under development for modules listing page in the administration area. The new way of listing modules will be useful to those have many modules installed. The modules are listing in boxes inside position blocks. You can move a module from one to position to an other and reorder them using drag and drop. The interface is very easy to use. I hope you like it. See attached screenshot (under development page - Elxis 4.3).

Hi,

Great job! I'm one of those with a lot of modules. Each time that I go to module list, I need to reorder because wanna see the published in the first places. Could be interesting a way to hide the unpublished modules or a way to no have to reorder each time I go there.

thanks

What you ask is already supported. There is an option to hide unpublished modules and you can also hide whole module positions (note the "x" button in the top right corner). A "Reset" button restores everything back to the full view (the control buttons are not visible to the screenshot I uploaded). Unpublished modules are been displayed as grayscale. We also put module logos (as on EDC) inorder to locate faster the module you search for. The new interface uses jquery UI (for drag and drop functionality) and masonry (for auto module positions arrangement). The development will be complete in the next 2-4 days.

Hi!

If I'm understand correctly, all those features will be available in both, list and grid mode. (also an option to fix order in list view, -published first-)

Woow, good job, more than I expected!

Box view interface for modules management is complete.
See a screenshot on my Twitter.

This feature will be available in the upcoming Elxis 4.3.

Added the option to relate articles based on a custom relation keyword. This is an other way Elxis provides you to group similar articles. The related articles are displayed at the bottom of the article's page as "Read also" links.

The update package from 4.2 to 4.3 is not yet available.

We always delay the release of the update patch in case a problem is reported in the new release. We will publish the patch today or tomorrow and you will be able to download it from elxis.net. The full 4.3 release by elxis.org should ONLY be used for new installations.

Especially for the 4.2 to 4.3 update you must read carefully the documentation before applying the patch because if you don't do so you wont be able to login in the administration console again! This is because we changed a little the encryption algorithm used for user passwords. More info when the update patch is published.

Update this file: components/com_content/models/content.model.php
You might missed updating other files too...
Better apply again the whole 4.3 to 4.2 patch to make sure all files are up-to-date.

Is possible add the "Font Awesome" in CKEditor for user to pick ?

Please see the demo(font-awesome in CKEditor)
http://michaeljanea.byethost7.com/ckeditor/font-awesome

Thanks!

[datahell]

Open file: includes/libraries/elxis/helpers/editor.helper.php

Go to line 117:
$this->options['contentsCss'] = '[\''.$elxis->secureBase().'/templates/system/css/standard.css\', \''.$elxis->secureBase().'/templates/'.$elxis->getConfig('TEMPLATE').'/css/template.css\', \''.$elxis->secureBase().'/includes/js/ckeditor/contents.css\']';

Replace it with:
$this->options['contentsCss'] = '[\''.$elxis->secureBase().'/templates/system/css/standard.css\', \''.$elxis->secureBase().'/templates/'.$elxis->getConfig('TEMPLATE').'/css/template.css\', \''.$elxis->secureBase().'/includes/js/ckeditor/contents.css\', \'http://www.example.com/path/to/awesome/font.css\']';
