New admin UI

Guys,

I just pushed a new admin UI based on bootstrap I have been working on so we can finally push for richard’s design.

Please revise as I believe I migrated pretty much everything.

You are a machine…

Ha, your crazy. Good stuff though :slight_smile: At this rate I wont get chance to do anything :stuck_out_tongue:

Lol
I had such an itch to scratch and really wanted to move away from the current design.

Now we just need to migrate the JavaScript away from jquery tools.

Cool new stuff like this makes me think that we should have a demo of a ContentBox-powered site online somewhere with the ability to login to the admin but without write permissions. This way people could evaluate the frontend and backend but without having the ability to actually edit the content. I have shown some interested people ContentBox videos, etc, but it’s a harder sell without a working demo. Unfortunately, as new releases come out it is getting harder and harder to keep my demos 100% current. A live official demo would really help with getting people to adopt the platform.

Well we have ContentBox express for that. Just download and start it up and you have a demos in seconds though.

Have you tried it?

Yes, I have it, but sometimes I am on an iPad with someone at their office and we can’t install anything. I’d like somewhere I could just open the browser and go to something like http://demo.contentbox.org and show them a working sample and then also the ability to login and show them the editors, theme, options, author management, etc. Also, sometimes people just don’t want anything downloaded on their computer. A standardized demo would really be a good selling point.

Very good point. Thanks. Let me try and set that up

Thanks!

Ok, DONE!

demo.gocontentbox.org

demo/demo

The database recreates itself every night and the demo user is an editor, so I cannot enable admin features on it due to security issues with uploading and stuff. So only editor demo.

NICE! This is just what I need, thanks! Too bad about the admin features, the empty Look & Feel menu throws me off. I may set up my own demo later and see what I can restrict while keeping the admin interface intact.

Luis, very nice!

Hello,

Installed the new release a minute ago. Railo needs to be restarted to get into the admin pages.
I upgraded from version 1.2.0.

I have some issues:

  • The stuff which will be displayed in the sidebar right is underneath the main content. I use Firefox 18.0.2
  • Clicking to System -> Settings throws an exception: Error Messages: key [CB_DASHBOARD_NEWSFEED] doesn’t exist in struct
  • Clicking to About-> Check for Updates throws an exception: Error Messages: The event: contentbox-admin:dashboard.autoupdates is not valid registered event.

Minor “bug”:

  • The four buttons in the upper left corner after the name should a tooltip. Some Users might not find the meaning behind the buttony, except mabye “home”.

I like the new UI very much. Unbelivable, what you guys are able to do in such short time. Many thanks for your work.

P.S: Where is the “inferno orange” from the earlier sample went? I liked that really.

Cheers.

Hello,

Installed the new release a minute ago. Railo needs to be restarted to get into the admin pages.
I upgraded from version 1.2.0.

I have some issues:

  • The stuff which will be displayed in the sidebar right is underneath the main content. I use Firefox 18.0.2

This is a bug in the jsmin that I don’t know how to solve yet. I need help debugging this. If I cannot solve it I won’t include the jsmin.

  • Clicking to System → Settings throws an exception: Error Messages: key [CB_DASHBOARD_NEWSFEED] doesn’t exist in struct

Did you check the updated cfc. That includes the new settings and options needed.

  • Clicking to About-> Check for Updates throws an exception: Error Messages: The event: contentbox-admin:dashboard.autoupdates is not valid registered event.

Will check this

Minor “bug”:

  • The four buttons in the upper left corner after the name should a tooltip. Some Users might not find the meaning behind the buttony, except mabye “home”.

Good point.

Which CFC is affected? I copied the whole content of the ZIP-file, except application.cfc And this file has only one difference: my datasource.

In the workbench folder there is a patches folder. There is where i work on patches as they are solidified.

Since you are being adventurous you need to create settings manually

Luis, can you please tell me, what i have to do to get the update applied?

Thank you.

Martin

That’s the patch that will be released once this is stable, for now you need to do things manually or wait for the patch
