New: better UI for adding versions and langages

June 2nd, 2014

In the Manual Setting screen, the tabs for adding Languages and Versions were cumbersome and inconsistent, that is, using a different UI for a similar task. So we fixed it.

Adding Languages

The Languages tab now allows the adding of multiple languages in one go, without closing the screen.
Select a new language from the drop-down at the bottom, then click Add to add it to the list. Repeat for more languages. Finally, use Save Changes to close the screen and apply all added languages.

Adding versions

Same here, now allows adding multiple versions in one go.
Click the Add button to make a new version row appear, then fill in the fields. Repeat to add more versions and click the Save Changes button to save your additions.

Fix: tabbing from Topic Title to Topic Body

May 28th, 2014

A small fix to an annoying issue in the Manual Editor:

Using the TAB key while in the Topic Title box now nicely tabs to the Topic Body box.

(Previously, it tabbed to the header (h2, h3, etc..) button on the toolbar.)


New: Add captions to your images

May 28th, 2014

It is now possible to add captions to the images you include in your manual topics.

First, use the Image Manager to set a Caption for your images:

image-captions-manager

Then, when inserting an image, check the “Show caption” checkbox.

The result in your live manual:

image-captions-live


New: header button remembers last used header level

May 27th, 2014

A small tweak the manual editor’s toolbar:

The header button (for inserting h2, h3, h4 headings) now remembers the last header level you used. Meaning that next time, you can just click the button to insert the same header, without using the drop-down list.
