Pulse Pro 2.2

12-26-2012

Pulse Pro 2.2 is released, here is a list of what's new:

Frontend Template

The frontend template has been completely rebuilt using the Kube CSS framework (http://imperavi.com/kube/). The framework is very minimal yet very powerful. It comes with excellent pre-styled typography, forms, tables, buttons and a grid that makes it super easy to set up pages with various types of columns and layout styles. See it live on the demo site: http://pulsedemo.net.

Turn Comments on/off By Post

Another new feature is the ability to turn off comments by individual posts. So let's say a blog post is a few months old and you want to disable comments on it, just open up that post in the admin and set the comments to off. See this sample on the demo site: http://pulsedemo.net/blog.php?d=7.

Other Improvements

While Pulse has always been available in German, in Redactor, you had to download the German lang file for that separately and install it. Now the German file is included and all you need to do is edit header.php to switch it on. 

Speaking of Redactor, is has been upgraded to 8.2.1 in this version.

One More Thing

I'd like to introduce Ulli (http://twitter.com/ulw8) to all Pulse users. Ulli is a PHP developer and has been helping out with Pulse on the last few versions. She will be working on a lot of the backend PHP code and helping to add more features. Say hello!

"Now the German file is included and all you need to do is edit header.php to switch it on. "
Changed header.php, line 28 from lang: 'en' to lang: 'de'. Just a guess, but obviously wrong. ;)
So: How? Thanks for a more detailed hint, LOL.
Besides from that: Gorgeous - I love to see how Pulse Pro works out, you do a great job!

Siga - The line 28 edit you made is correct and also just uncomment the de.js a few lines up and you will be all set.

Mark, if You are using KUBE CSS Framework for the Grid system of the new PulseCMS layout. Why are You not using their form styles, for example for the contact form and comments ? I think it would make them look a bit better.

David - The contact form has its own style sheet for when the Pulse fronted template is not used, that is why it is different. Maybe down the road I will try and match them better. But the buttons are already the same and the form fields are only slightly different from the default Kube style.
