Second Site 3.1
Web Publishing - Windows - Purchase
Second Site 3.1 has been released.
Enhancements:
• Map-related enhancements
- Added numbered markers (1 to 30) and colored markers to the Map Editor and Map Events dialog
- Added drag/drop functionality to resequence items in the Map Editor item list
- Added arrow buttons to resequence items in the Map User Item's list of events
- Added the Show Place Comment option to the Map Events dialog
• Added a Sort option to the Exhibit Gallery that allows the items to be sorted by the Exhibit Topic
• Added a Comment option to DNA Grid User Item that controls the display of the Comment field associated with DNA test results
• Added a new Theme, Carla's Old Ships
• Added an "Ignore" choice to the Person Entry Chart List pull-down menu in the Format section
Changes:
• Changed the Exhibits.Include Back-Links feature to include source exhibits
• Changed the default line color for Maps from "#f00" to "#fd645c" to match the base color for the red icon
• Added four new date formats ("Aaaa d.m.yyy", "Aaaa dd.mm.yyyy", "Aaa d.m.yyy", "Aaa dd.mm.yyyy") in respone to a request from a Finnish user
• Added the Page Strings.Pedigree Close property so that the [Close] button on the Pop-up Pedigree window can be translated to the appropriate language
• Changed the Google Maps configuration for the Place Index Map Links feature to avoid a problem introduced by a change to the Google Maps service
• Changed the Place Index Map Links feature to refer to Bing Maps, the new name of Microsoft's Virtual Earth-based mapping service; the Map User Item mapping service option for Bing Maps remains "Virtual Earth", as that is the API Second Site uses and the mapping service name is not visible to people browsing the generated site
• As part of implementing custom markers for Bing Maps, the user interface has been changed: with previous Virtual Earth maps, hovering over a marker would open the information window. Starting with this version, the user must click the icon to open the information window. This is more consistent with the other mapping services but was implemented due to limitations associated with the custom icon facility in the Virtual Earth mapping API
• Adjusted the HTML Editor so it will retain empty DIV elements
• Updated JavaScript to use new versions of jQuery (v1.3.2) and related libraries
• Added special scripts for frameset pages; this avoids issues with scripting subcomponents that aren't designed for frameset pages
Fixes:
• Changed the HTML for the Exhibit Gallery to avoid an issue in Firefox where the caption was not always formatted properly
• Fixed a bug where the Item Class property was not converted properly for charts originally created in Second Site 2
• Fixed a bug where the Exhibits.Text Is Preformatted didn't work for linked text exhibits
• Fixed a bug where the conditional form of the RPAR:rolename variable did not work properly
• Fixed a bug where the DNA signature derivation logic in the DNA Overlay Chart did not merge signatures properly in the ancestor-to-descendant direction to enforce maximum parsimony
• Fixed a bug in the DNA Grid User Item where the group title/description row did not display properly in Internet Explorer
• Fixed a bug in the List based on person's events option of the Custom Index User Item: when the target person is excluded, Second Site did not treat the person as if included
Information for Theme and Format Authors:
• Updated all the Header Scripts to use a new method to detect the Main Page and include or omit the site's SubTitle
• Updated all Formats to use the translation for the [Close] button on the pop-up pedigree window
• Updated all Formats to add CSS classes to lists that appear in the person page entry; see Person Page Entry Lists
