We are so glad to announce another iteration of our ContentBox Modular CMS v1.0.8.  This release incorporates some fixes thanks to our community but also great features as we move towards maduration and a great modular CMS engine.  We are also making great strides in writting our documentation and getting ready to start developing high grade commercial additions to ContentBox.  We will also be releasing a full express edition and WAR edition of ContentBox soon.  So stay tuned via our awesome mailing list.

Here is a recap of this release:

 

Fixes

  • content version settings not selecting "unlimited" when empty default value

  • Previews for pages and blog entires now are of the exact rendering in the exact layout and skin
  • New MachBlog importer thanks to Mike McKellip
  • CB Helper's subPageMenu() method now supports nested menu structures
    • New argument as well: activeShowChildren=false which allows the children of the active menu node to display one more level deep if selected

  • Dynamic blog entry point.  All blog features are namespaced in ContentBox so you can choose your entry point and designate pages for it.
