Pulse Pro 1.8.1

02-04-2012

Pulse Pro 1.8.1 is a small release that includes two improvements that many people have asked for.

First, the contact form has some flexibility in that you can now add two custom fields if you need more than what it comes with. At the top of the form.php file you will see these two new lines:

$custom_fieldname1 = "";
$custom_fieldname2 = "";

Just fill one or both in and they will then show on the front end contact form.

The second change in 1.8.1 is that gallery sorting has been tweaked so that new picture uploads will always apper first or at the top.

If you are upgrading from 1.8, there are only 5 changed files:

-form.php
-manage-photo.php
-gallery.php
-gallery2.php
-footer.php

Goodie! The limited form fields was the only reason I haven't used the form yet. Thank you!

I have a couple of sites now running Pulse and it would be great to be able to update from within each site, rather than having to download and install new files. Is this likely to something that you might consider adding as an upgrade?

I am now using Pulse for my master blog here:

Andy - While this would be a nice feature, it's quite difficult to pull off in a safe and secure way. So I don't think this is something I will be attempting. That said, I will try and be better about listing changed files for those who wish to patch instead of re-install.

A slider would be a great addition for the CMS

Just my 2c.

Gille -

It already has one, but I am adding an even better one soon. See a sample here: http://pulsecms.com/flex/

Nice one Mark but having the caption over the images is never nice imho. Of course there might be an alternative option, in which case - Brilliant !!

Ah ok , never saw that :-)

Indeed, a NIVO slider will do the trick hehe.

Just updating my current version of Pulse. E-mail notifications for blog comments is great addition.

I'd love to see a preview capability for the blog post. If like me it takes a while to write a coherent sentence, it is nice to be able to preview the piece or indeed save a draft before the final article is published.

Also when upgrading, there is a moment when the standard blog template replaces your previous content before you replace the data files. So the ability to update the scripts without having to replace the data would be nice.

It's all good though!
