Call for beta testers for Pulse Slim and easier syntax

[pulse-admin]

Please message me directly or ping us on online chat if you'd like to test these beta features. (Existing customers only.)

We now have a PulseCMS ZIP with the following features:

• PulseCMS Slim version. Now at 2,400 files, down from over 4000. No loss of features. It simply puts big libraries like FontAwesome on a CDN. (You can always download it later.)

  • More details: We still have a far way to go- I'm aiming for under 1000 files, ideally under 250 to make it similar to PulseCMS 4. But eliminating over 1,500 files is a good start for our first Pulse Slim!
  • Remember, we will always support the full PulseCMS with all dependencies. In fact, its the same code- we autodetect files like FontAwesome and load from a CDN if they aren't there.

• Mega simple templates. No PHP needed anymore. For making templates, we added tags for specifying the site home folder and template home folder: {{template_folder}} goes to the current template's folder. {{path}} goes to the Pulse website home path. (Previously you had to echo $path).

  • More Details: Example: To specify an image in /templates/my-template/images/image.png , you would now use: <img src="{{template_folder}}/images/image.png"> . (No PHP code required.)

• Minor fixes

  • Update text editor settings in Redactor as requested.
  • Fix error when adding internal hyperlinks in Navigation
