New Features
| Feature | Description | Screenshot |
|---|---|---|
| Content Droplets | We are introducing Content droplets as a convenient way to insert special content in a wiki page. This includes tags, parser functions, and templates. The feature replaces the "Magic words" menu item of the Visual Editor. | |
| Enhanced Menu Editor |
The main navigation can now contain hierarchical links. In addition, 4 configurations of the sidebar are possible. |
|
| PDF Embed | It is now possible to embed a PDF viewer in wiki pages. It is contained in the Content Droplets menu for easy access.
|
|
| Startpage Templates | To support the creation of portal pages for the main page and for all other content namespaces, we now provide two startpage templates.
To further support users with the design of portal pages, the renowned icon library Font Awesome is now bundled with BlueSpice. |
|
| Container Filter | You can now mark sections of a page for filtering and display a filter just for the content located within these sections of the page. |
Additional improvements
- VisualEditor: the copy and paste functionality out of other applications (e.g., MS Word) has been significantly improved.
- Tagging of page templates: Page templates can be categorized with tags in the Page template manager. The tags work as a filter when selecting page templates.
