Feedback?

(And, yes, if you are eagle eyed, the screenshots give away another new feature, too... -hint, hint-)

And now for the $64K question.... when!?!

Looking forward to the new bulk page editing features.

Are you talking about "Access Permission" feature ? or a "Snippet Type" ?

Well all sounds very interesting to me !!

Best regards,

Look great Travis

Zi,

I think the access permission here is the ability or some users to run the snippet inside the Manager. (I think)

Travis,

Currently snippets (front-end) can use the "echo" keyword to display text inside the browser using ob_start functions.But this has proven to be a much slower method so I think it should be removed from front-end executions. Such feature can however remain for the Manager

What if the access permissions were tied too the users/groups so that said snippets were only shown on the front end when members of those groups were logged in? This would enable us to not only show/hide parts of pages in addition to the entire page itself.

Not that I have any inside information or anything of course!

Very cool! I think this will be much more handy and helps to simplify things for developers, editors and designers.

I was wondering, are the properties gong to apply to Plain HTML snippets at all? I was thinking we could assign the properties as placeholders and be able to include them in the HTML, what do you think?

Ummm... can you type that again real slow, maybe with an example? :blink:

Excellent idea Adam,

Also consider this:

[[HelloWorld? &color=`#ffcc00` &width=`200px`]]

where will pass the parameter &color into the HTML snippet as a placeholder:

<div style="color:[+color+];width:[+width+]">Hello World</div>

LOL

Raymond, that is too cool and too helpful!
