What to look for in Version 1.1.0
In the forums I said that I would write a little about what’s going on in the new release of LyftenBloggie, so here is a short list of what has been added so far and what is to come.
Access Groups [added] LyftenBloggie will have access levels groups based on Joomla's basic Access Control Levels. Each group will have certain access level features that will be directly related to the uploading, creation, editing, notifications, approving and publishing of blog content through the Frontend interface.
Auto-Update [added] A feature that was once dormant will be activated in the new release. The code was there already but not ready for use. I still have to get Brezza setup to handle the update requests, which shouldn’t take too much work.
XML-Based Template Engine [added] With the new release sporting a new and powerful XML-based template engine, it will be easy for others to create templates. I’m still working on getting the old templates switched over.
Email Alerts [soon] With all the requests on the forums, I decided it had to be added. As of right now I plan on making them template based as well, that way they can be edited in the backend easily.
Plugins [adding] In the upcoming version, I have created a plugin function. With it everything in LyftenBloggie can be extended in many was from it's avatars and all the way to it's comment system.
If you have an idea, drop it off in the forums: http://www.lyften.com/support/forums/2-lyften-bloggie/403-lyftenbloggie-v110-suggestions.html
