Sitemason 6 Watch: Interface Font Icons

For those of you keeping up with the Responsive Web Design movement and/or the progress on our new interface, we're extremely excited to show off our new font icons. As part of the interface redesign, Kevin Kennedy went back to the bottomless well that is his creative mind to invent Sitemason's own font icon set.

If you're saying, "Wait a minute, did you say Font Icons? You must be confused." I'm so glad you pointed out my penchant for confusion, but in this case, I'm not crazy. Read on for an explanation, or checkout the full Font Icon Set if your idea of a good time is perusing Webdings. Now who's crazy!…

Coda2 Plugin Set for Lists

Last week, the Sitemason developers migrated to Panic's new text editor, Coda2. This was not a trivial move, as we have used the same text editor for 17 years! One necessary byproduct was the conversion of all our list helper functions into Coda2 Plugins.

The Plugin Set is appropriately called "List Transformer" and it applies 10 common list conversions to 4 different types of lists (that's 40 functions for those counting at home). Read on past the break to download the plugins. 

Vimeo & UStream Video Support

Today we expanded our video support for web video outside of YouTube to include Vimeo & UStream. You've of course always been able to embed videos in Sitemason tools, but now you can use the native video support in Sitemason to display internet video for the big three services; YouTube, Vimeo & UStream for live streaming video.

Assign Tags to Multiple Items

Today we're announcing a small improvement, but one that our power users have been clamoring for. Until now, it hasn't been possible to assign tags in bulk to already-existing items. We've rolled out a simple Assign Tags option in your Articles menu that now makes this a breeze.

Sitemason HTML5 Boilerplate Template

PHP Templates get printRelatedArticles();

Today we added a new PHP method to our ever-growing framework. This is a simple way to add related articles for your blog or news feed. The tag-based call by default grabs the 5 most recent articles using tags it detects in the currently viewed article.

Sidebar Forms

We just added a feature to allow forms in sidebars to submit in place, so the user stays on the same page rather than being sent off to a confirmation page.
