Changes in WebYep 1.1.10

Vulnerability fixed

There was a vulnerability in WebYep that could be exploited if the web server's PHP configuration sets the option "register_globals" to "On". This option is off by default, but some web space providers set it to "On", in spite of adverse recommendations. This version of WebYep is not vulnerable even if "register_globals" is on.

Changes in WebYep 1.1.9

White Label option available

You can now purchase a "white label" option for WebYep. This will enable you to present WebYep as your own product, with your own logo, product name and styling.

See the order page for further details.

Lists in the Long Text Element

Lists in the Long Text Element can now have sub-items. By simply repeating the list bullet symbol ("*", the asterisk), users can "indent" a list item.

Example:

* Item A, level 1
* Item B, level 1
** Item Bb, level 2
** Item Bbb, level 2
* Item C, level 1

Will display as:

• Item A, level 1
• Item B, level 1
• Item Bb, level 2
• Item Bbb, level 2
• Item C, level 1

You can now also create numbered (ordered) lists by using the plus sign ("+") instead of the asterisk:

Example:

+ Item A, level 1
+ Item B, level 1
++ Item Bb, level 2
++ Item Bbb, level 2
+ Item C, level 1

Will display as:

1. Item A, level 1
2. Item B, level 1
1. Item Bb, level 2
2. Item Bbb, level 2
3. Item C, level 1

depending on your style sheet's definitions for the <ol> and <li> tags.

Changes in WebYep 1.1.8

Image Element

Image Element link URLs can now also be assigned by editors (not only designers). Editors can type in any URL in the image editor window. If the Image Element is positioned within a Loop Element and the link points to a page containing WebYep Elements, the image can server as a menu item, letting the linked page have different content for each image link.

The <img...> tag now always is spelt in correct XML compatible syntax (with trailing slash).

Some incompatibility issues with the image upload on older PHP version were solved

Download Element

The "download forcing" was improved to work also with insistent versions of Internet Explorer...

Changes in WebYep 1.1.7

Editor window sizes

All editor windows now store their sizes. When a user changes e.g. the long text editor's window size (to enlarge the text input field's size) the window will remember that size and open at this size the next time.

Tables in the Long Text Element

Using the "|" symbol users can now create simple tables in the Long Text Element. Please see the Long Text Element's reference in the documentation or the online help in the long text editor window for details.

Changes in WebYep 1.1.6

English Language Version

WebYep 1.1.6 is the first version that is available in English.

Resizable Editors

The editors for the Long Text and the Menu Elements were changed to adapt to window resizing.

Changes in WebYep 1.1.5

New WebYep-Element: "Attachment"

With the WebYep Attachment Element you can attach any kind of document to a web page so visitors can download it.

See the documentation for details.

Unicode

The Unicode (UTF-8) support was enhanced. In some editor windows special characters were displayed wrong when using the UTF-8 character set. This was fixed.

PHP5

The PHP5 support was stabilized.

Changes in WebYep 1.1.4

Unicode

In 1.1.3 we introduced the possibility to use different character sets. In 1.1.4 we extended this to the unicode character set.

Menu Element

Forced Line Breaks

Menu items in the WebYep Menu Element can now be forced to span several lines by inserting a "\" (backslash) into the items title.

HTML Formatting

WebYep Menu Elements can now be rendered as HTML tables or HTML div tags. This is configurable by the "$webyep_bUseTablesForMenus" setting in the config.inc.php. Default is the div tag formatting (as was before 1.1.4).

Selected menu item with multiple menus

The selected menu item was not displayed correctly when several WebYep Menu Elements were placed on one page. This is was corrected for menus that point to different target pages. But in general multiple Menu Elements on one page are still not supported.

Image Element

You can now define a URL for a WebYep Image Element in Dreamweaver, thus making the Image Element a link (and when used inside a Loop Element it can be made a kind of menu). See the documentations Image Element Reference for details.

PHP 5

WebYep's PHP5 compatibility was enhanced. As WebYep makes heavy use of PHP's OO features, the changes on PHP's OO architecture hit WebYep especially hard. We made several major changes and adaptations to PHP5, but using WebYep with PHP5 must still be considered experimental.

Text Element

Links generated by the "<LINK..." markup in the Long Text Element are now opened in a new browser window, if the link a absolute (contains the "http://" part

Changes in WebYep 1.1.3

WebYep Menu Element, style names

As there have been problems in Dreamweaver MX (6.x) with style names containing underscores, the styles for the WebYep Menu Element have been renamed:

• WebYep_MenuItem was renamed to WebYepMenuItem
• WebYep_MenuSelected was renamed to WebYepMenuSelected
• WebYep_MenuTitle was renamed to WebYepMenuTitle

Please change these style names in your style sheets.

Also, a new style was added (named WebYepMenuSeperator) to attach lines to menu section titles. See the Menu Element reference for details.

WebYep Text Element

New list formatting

By entering an asterisk (or the list bullet symbol) at the beginning of a line in a WebYep Text Element users could create bullet lists since webYep 1.1.0. The HTML formatting of these lists was changed in 1.1.3 from <table> to <ul> as the formatting with <table> lead to problems with CSS. So lists are now generated with the HTML <ul> and <li> tags.

As a consequence the list bullet icon can not be assigned to the WebYep Text Element anymore. Instead the bullet icon can be defined the CSS way as usual - see the Text Element reference "List formatting" for details.

Encoded email addresses

You can now activate the "Encode EMail Links" function for Long Text Elements in the elements inspector in Dreamweaver. Whenever a user enters email addresses into that Long Text Element, WebYep will display those addresses in a special encoding, making it virtually impossible for SPAM spiders and automated email grabbers to "steal" these addresses for use in SPAM mailings.

clear="all" removed

As more and more web designers use CSS also for multi column layouts, we removed a feature from the WebYep Long Text Element, where a clear="all" attribute was added to multiple consecutive line breaks to not only break lines but also break the text flow around graphics. As clear="all" unfortunately also breaks the current text column and aligns the text to left page border it's not suitable in a multi column CSS environment.

Enhanced link recognition

The WebYep Long Text Element now also recognizes and correctly displays links that contain so called "queries" (a question mark followed by data fields – e.g.: http://www.obdev.at/index.html?test=1&example=hello).

New Documentation

The documentation for WebYep and the Dreamweaver Extension has been rewritten from scratch and now uses screen shots from the current version of Dreamweaver. A tutorial section was also added with examples for all WebYep Elements.

Support for Eastern European languages

There now is an additional configuration option "$webyep_sCharset" in the config-inc.php file. With this you can define a character set to be used by WebYep in all editor windows and for all text output. The proper HTML meta tags (Content-Type) is added to all WebYep editor windows. You only have to add this meta tag to your website pages and then can input and display all characters defined be the character set you choose (e.g. iso-8859-2 for most Eastern European languages).

The default character set is iso-8859-1, the Windows standard set used by English and most Western European languages.

Changes in WebYep 1.1.0

Loop Element

With the new Loop Element web designers can place repeating blocks of HTML code and/or editable WebYep elements into your pages. The web designers define the elements and structure of the blocks, the editors can then add and remove blocks and edit the content of each block.

See "WebYep Elements / Loop Element" in the WebYep documentation for details.

Bullet lists in the WebYep Text Element

Editors can now enter bullet lists into a WebYep Text Element by putting an asterisk or bullet symbol at the beginning of a text line (followed by a space and some text.

By entering:

* First item
* Second item, with some more text.
* ...

The Text Element will display:

• First item
• Second item, with some more text.
• ...
