XULAdmin under Intensive Development!

Published 2008-06-16 in Development by

A new version of the graphical user interface program - XULAdmin is under heavy development. Usability, stability, flexibility and editing effectiveness are the new goals. Recent and planned changes will make XULAdmin useful in different enviroments. These features, however, will not prevent it from playing its primary role - a multifunctional web publishing software.

The latest changes available in the svn repository

editing and browsing categorsies in separate tabs or new windows
advanced user rights & accounts management, access control lists
improved localization support
several minor improvements and fixes
drag&drop capabilities
communication based on the standardized SOAP protocol
automatic various image formats generation (e.g. thumbnails, low quality, high quality,...)
simultaneous upload of multiple pictures
video management and basic editing

Firefox 3 & Current development issues

With the release of Firefox version 3 there are several changes which influence the XULAdmin program. Is likely that SOAP support will not be included in Firefox 3, so the highest priority is to implement a wrapper so that XULAdmin will be able to run in it. Other feautures which are being worked on include:

improved multilingual support
context help - possiblity of user-generated content
text auto-completion
spell-checking capabilities
visually pleasing toolbar panel in the html editor
upload progress bar, especially for video
