Version 4.61 - Aug 26 2003
- The font manager was changed to use drop-down menus for the font-face and font-size. Font-face and font-size options are now definable variables on editor.cgi.
- Includeblocks have been enabled. SSI, PHP, or ASP include tags can now be enclosed in includeblocks, forcing the editing of content displayed by the SSI, PHP or ASP to be written to the included file instead of to the page.
- The toolbar no longer displays a button for deleting an image. The Delete Image has been moved to the Insert Image wizard. Deleting an image is still a user assigned privilege.
- The toolbar now displays a button for unlinking a link. This Unlink button displays automatically if the user has privileges for creating a link.
Version 4.6 - Aug 16 2003
Major rework:
- Hitting the keyboard Enter Key now causes a single line break instead of the MSHTML default two line paragraph breaks
- Login prompt is now activated by tapping the keyboard ESC key 3 times
- Login prompt is now a modal dialog window instead of a layer
- Once an image is inserted into a page, double clicking the image will open an Image Mechanic so attributes can be changed.
- Table wizard has been upgraded to a full table builder. Once a table is inserted into a page, double clicking a table cell will open a Table Mechanic so attributes can be changed. Attributes for the table, a row, or a cell can be changed. New rows or cells can be added.
- Help will now display only help for the buttons that the user is allowed to see
- If a user clicks a link on a page in the editor to move to that page the page will load outside of the editor forcing a new login. This prevents someone from navigating to a page they do not have privilege to edit.
Version 4.5 - Mar 20 2003
Version 4 series converted to use ColorPad as the color picker for changing font colors highlight colors.
Version 4.1 - Jan 16 2003
Version 4 series places the toolbar to the left of the page. In shareware mode an external javascript is delivered to the toolbar from the contenteditable server and the toolbar runs from a routines file named toolbar.txt. To license, the user downolads a new file named library.txt and replaces toolbar.txt with the new file. Library.txt contains 100% of the code for running the editor.
Version 3.1 - Nov 14 2002
The Toolbar is now delivered at Run-time instead of being installed on the editing server. New Features:
- The href link now supports targeting the link to a new window or a frame, and contains creation of a pop-up window for the target.
- Creation of liquid tables. Tables are an object with "handles" and can be dragged to resize.
- Image Upload file size is now set for each user on the Toolbar.
Version 2.2 - Oct 28 2002
Once a user was logged in and displaying a page, if the page contained links to other pages in the domain that the user was not privilaged to edit, user could navigate to those pages and edit them. This upgrade fixed that by doing a final user privilage check for the file they had edited before writing any changes.
Version 2 - Oct 25 2002
All script routines and html pages combined into 1 routines.lib library file. This simplifies installation and allows upgrades to be made by simply replacing routines.lib. New features include:
- Up to 10K users per installation
- Instead of just a password it uses username and password
- Each user can change their password from a new icon on the toolbar
- Each user can be assigned privileges to individual pages or to entire folder trees
- Each user can be allowed to see different icons on the toolbar
- Each user can have their own image folder
- The use of cookies for login control has been removed
- The editable areas on a page are set up differently. Each area is defined by an open and close tag such as
<div id=editblock1></div id=editblock1>
<span id=editblock2></span id=editblock2>
This accomplishes two things, editing changes only the content between open and close editblocks, allowing SSIs to be used outside of editblocks (version1 overwrote the SSI tag with the SSI's output) and eliminates the possibility that the MSHTML engine in IE would munge the page's HTML code and shift or eliminate an editable block.
Version 1 - Oct 1 2002
Program consists of 4 Perl scripts, 1 external javascript, 4 html pages and 30 button images. Upgrade requires completely new reinstall.
