dev site for hy(de)blog

2023-03-07 Tuesday

This is a MAJOR release that focuses on the following items:

  • /login, /setup, /admin and /pages: focused on building out of all of the settings panes to provide the end user more options to control the display and functionality through small customizations where appropriate:
    • accounted for global constant toggles in template files
    • reduced required fields for the setup.php process to: url, username, email, and password. All other constants are preset and can be changed after the initial setup.
    • added styles.php to allow for end users to easily add their own css.
      • in the final release a commented out list of all variables use for the site’s design will be pre-populated in this file to allow for even easier updating by the end user
    • added a Masonry layout to /admin for better display on larger screens
  • design adds:
    • simple image logo swap for default logos
      • made header logo visibility optional
    • added a comment option to solicit comments via email rather than the web form
    • added the option for posts to be toggled between ascending and descending order
  • additional features:
    • added simple smooth scrolling for navigating with anchor links
    • choice of which RSS feed is discoverable, entries or daily
    • end user can define how many entries and days show up in the RSS feed
