1. Overhaul of the obituaries module
The Obituaries module received an update in the form of Times of Emission and Extras Highlighting Obituaries. This allows publishers to reconfigure the module, giving users the option to order paid obituaries. It works the same way as for Classifieds or Bussiness Directory.
Additionally, we have streamlined the obituary submission form and enriched it with new options:
- Removed fields: gender, age, and date of death
- Added new fields:
- Abbreviation before the name and surname of the deceased (e.g., R.I.P., Prof., etc.),
- Short description about the deceased (e.g., renowned geologist, distinguished teacher, etc.).
- Additional options:
- Ability to choose graphics or upload a personal photo of the deceased,
- Option to target (or not) the emission of the obituary to the widget.
For more details, please refer to the updated description of the Obituaries module.
Additionally, the Obituaries widget gained two new capabilities:
- Option to display only one selected obituary in the widget.
- Option to display obituaries of a specific type in the widget.
2. New Condolences module
This is a new module closely related to Obituaries. Condolences are, as you probably guessed, comments that website users can publish under an obituary on its subpage. In practice, they function similarly to regular user comments.
In the Condolences module, website administrators will find detailed information about published expressions of sympathy and will be able to manage them (edit, delete, check author details, etc.).
More detailed information can be found in the guide: Condolences module.
3. Changes in the News and Events widgets
We have introduced the option to choose tags in the News and Events widgets. This allows publishers to display content in widgets marked with selected tags. The selected tags in the widgets enable the display of articles added in different categories.
Speaking of categories - previously, in the News and Events widgets, you could choose a single category or all. Now, we have added the option to choose multiple categories, for example, 2, 3, or more. All you have to do is click on the categories you want to display in the widget (they will be highlighted in blue). Pretty cool, right?
In the latest CMS 4media update, there is also the "Display articles" option. This allows publishers in a widget to show all articles or only those with a main photo or not.
4. Changes in the text editor
In the text editor available in the Articles and Subpages modules, two additional options have appeared in the ribbon in the January update of CMS 4media:
- ability to upload an image directly from the device (without having to upload it to the file library first) and embed a link to the image (with this option, remember that by embedding images this way, there is no hundred percent guarantee that the added image will always be visible - the source site admin, i.e., the one you are linking from, may remove it, and then it will no longer be displayed on your website).
- ability to search and insert a link to another article, event, or photo gallery. Clicking the "Insert content link" button opens a window with a selection of content published in the Articles, Events, and Photo Gallery modules. After selecting a specific item, a textual link will be inserted in the text editor. The text of the link will automatically be the title of the Article, Event, or Photo Gallery.
