CuBit 1.0.18b is now
available for upgrade!
The upgrade gives you
the following features:
-
Archive Button -
Allows you to save a
"per page" backup
version and gives
you the ability to
restore from that
backup if you need
to.
-
Preferences Section
- Allows you to change
the site name (found in
the page title), take
the site offline for
maintenance temporarily
and even give a message
on the coming soon page.
Additionally the
preferences page has the
ability to change the
password and if you have
different templates
designed and installed,
you can set different
templates for different
pages. Also included in
the Preferences section
is the ability to set
the Global Meta Tags
(Meta keywords and Meta
Description) which will
be used if you do not
set them on a per page
basis.
-
PayPal Advanced Add to
Cart Button Generator
(additional
1-time charge) - Allows
you to create PayPal Add
to cart buttons that
will give you the
ability to have dropdown
options that will also
let you have variations
in pricing. See this
site for an example of
what the end result is:
http://boneheadnation.net/?24
-
CuBit Sessions
Adjustment -
Allows you to set the
number of minutes the
server will leave you
connected. The Session
is limited to keep
security to a maximum on
the server.
-
Save and Apply Buttons
- Now you can Save and
close the page where
CuBit takes you back to
the Main Page list to
choose another page to
edit or you can just
click the Apply button
and stay on the page and
continue to edit the
page.
-
Create Thumbnails
- Allows for adding
'Click-to-Enlarge'
photos with ease. (just
insert the full size
image and then click
the Create Thumbnail
Button and choose the
Thumbnail size.
-
Improved Form
Builder now with 'CAPTCHA'
- Added
functionality to make
the FormBuilder more
user-friendly as well as
protection from Spambots
that submit spam to the
site Admin through the
form. This feature
requires the visitor to
type in four characters
that they see on the
screen. Most CAPTCHAs
are very difficult to
read and do nothing more
than block the visitor
from being able to
actually submit the
form. CuBit's CAPTCHA is
much more user-friendly.
Anyone can see the font
because it's large
enough and colorful
enough to grab your eye
and most importantly the
visitor can very clearly
read the letters making
it easy to submit the
form. This is a feature
that can also be turned
off if preferred.
-
More advanced Table
Functionality -
Tables are a web
designers biggest
headache. The more
advanced functionality
of Tables in CuBit allow
you to control more of
the settings for tables.
Tables still have a
little bit of a learning
curve but will
ultimately give you a
better looking, more
organized website.
-
Various Bug fixes
- As with any software,
new versions come out
with not only upgrades
but system improvements
after additional testing
and usage is done while
the software gets used
in the real world. As
CuBit matures, it will
improve and with each
new version more and
more is perfected.
Aside
from all these newly
added features, if we
ever have to edit your
website it would be a
little less expensive
because we also will be
saving time by utilizing
some of these tools.
