Manula Changelog: What's New in the Manula software (Page 10)

Just fixed a problem in the Topic Editor that could be quite annoying for some people:

After inserting an image using the Image Manager or after inserting a topic/website link, the cursor position in the topic editor was lost. This caused unnecessary scrolling and searching before one could continue editing again.

After today’s fixes, the cursor nicely returns right after the freshly insert image or link.

It is now possible to customize your manual “hub page” with a full width (1,000 pixels) banner image.
(previously, the hub page used the account level default Side Bar image, which wasn’t full width)

Quick fix for an annoying user interface issue:
In the topic editor, when switching to a different language using the Language Selector menu, the current topic selection got lost, returning you to the Overview page.
Now, it nicely returns you to the topic you were working on 🙂

We know most of you spend a lot of time with the Image Manager, so it’s an area we keep improving, for maximum clarity and usability.

Two small fixes today:

• Image Manager: After uploading one image, it was not possible to upload the next image without closing the Image Manager first.
• ASP integration: passing a search term (q parameter) AND an Access Key to the Search Page didn’t work.

We noticed occasional confusion about the Keywords, Visibility and Slug fields in the Topic Editor. So we figured we’d make some small tweaks to the layout of the editor to make these 3 quite important fields a bit clearer.

A nice refresh for the www.manula.com website today, in terms of both the design and the content.

Here’s what’s changed:

We have just added the Danish translation of all interface texts of live manuals.
A big THANK YOU to the guys at TrackUnit for doing the translation!

We never stop trying to make our stuff faster 🙂

Today we completely rewrote all database queries that are used to load the Table of Contents of your manuals. Browsing a live manual is now Slightly Snappier™. The improvement is especially noticeable on manuals with many topics.

This optimized queries are now also used in your admin system, but the difference will be less noticeable there.

Since Manula launched (3 years ago!) we have added a lot of account level settings, customizations and tools. Which resulted in a somewhat messy menu structure.

Today, we restructured the account level menus in the top bar. From left to right:
