What a great day it is!

Silver Stripe has been working for some time on their release of version 2.2 and today Gally completed the integration of our Bootstrap drag and drop platform to that version. Currently we have upgraded only a couple of sites - all which are in development as opposed to live, but we expect to roll out the full version over the next few weeks.

• Some of the upgrades that the new system handles are:
• Much better drag and drop of the site tree menu
• Much nicer looking interface
• Way better handling of uploading and managing images
• A to do list on every page and then a report to identify what needs to be done
• Advanced security settings such that user access can be restricted to certain pages
• Page version history to see what changes have been made with version rollback
• Integrated basic analytics
• Search functionality
• Batch actions to delete or publish multiple pages
• The ability to save and publish a page at the same time

As you can see I am pretty excited. I spend a lot of time working in Bootstrap alongside our clients and just the look and feel upgrade has given me warm fuzzies.

We had to do a bit of development work to bring the Silver Stripe version 2.2 alongside our Bootstrap module, especially as we are using Prototype version 1.5 and Silver Stripe still uses 1.4 - but it seems we have got rid of any bugs as we don’t seem to be getting any Javascript errors etc.

The one bit of development work that we were hoping for from Silver Stripe was the language translation tools. This is pretty major but was broken in the Silver Stripe release. It is an important element for many of our clients so we will look to fixing this in the next few weeks ourselves and will release it back to the community.

For now though Bootstrap version 2.2 is out. We have not upgraded the demo on this site yet, but will do soon. In the meantime test the old demo here and feel free to contact us if you have any queries about Bootstrap and want to have a proper look and play with it.
