New Updates and Release Information

Our latest release on 5/18/09 made changes to the rendering framework of Sites and introduces some changes in the way your site looks. Here is an overview of these changes and how you can fix any issues this might have introduced.

 

Notable changes

• The site sidebar previously was not rendering at the width specified in Page Elements. For example, by default the 150px width was rendered at 144px. The sidebar now reflects the true width entered. Sites who have customized their site sidebars with background images will have created images that are a little too narrow and will need to recreate them at the proper width.
• Page font has been changed to "Site font" and changes the font for the entire page instead of just the content area. To override the site font in the sidebar, use the new property "Sidebar font."
• When you set the site background color it will default to clear out the theme background image. This allows you to instantly see the background color change in the preview. If you want to keep the theme background image, you can select the "from theme" option for the page background image to turn it back on.
• Page embeddings don't have padding by default so will collapse when put in tables. Adding padding to tables can fix this.
• Wide header icons will be clipped in IE by the search box. Users should move long header images to be header background images.
• There were minor spacing changes to remove layout complexity, for example the header height changed by a couple pixels. We actually removed the 5 pixels of hard coded margin on the top of the header, now background images are where they are supposed to be.
• If you adjust your content background color this will also adjust the background of the attachments and comments area (at the bottom of the page) - this will give you more control over the look of the content.
• Start page gadgets now match the canvas gadgets where previously they followed the sidebar gadget themes.
• Visited Link Color customization: if you change the link color, but not the visited link color in Colors and Fonts the visited link color will be set to the user given link color. If you change the link color and the visited link color in Colors and Fonts, the visited link color will be the user given visited link value.
• The "hr" tag is now 1px instead of 2
• When you provide customize your site in the colors and fonts area this will override your inline html styles. Customized colors and fonts now trump inline styles.
• Tables no longer use a gradient image for the header, instead they will use theme colors - you can adjust these colors yourself by changing the Content gadget header colors.
• The page background image now is visible in edit mode
• Column headers in the list page now follow the theme - you can adjust these colors by changing the Content gadget header colors in Colors and Fonts.
• You now have specific control over gadgets that appear in the content and gadgets that appear in the sidebar. You can adjust these variables in the Colors and Fonts area.
• We have included a "from theme" option in the colors and fonts area. During customizations you can now check the "from theme" option on any variable to revert back to the theme without having to delete all of your changes.
