Many are users of the WM delayed publication. Personally, I use it often. On the occasion of writing this note, for example :)

We've just added some improvements to this function.

We improved our Christmas gift 2011. Do you remember? The new module last tweets?

Up till now, you used this module to display your last tweets.

From now on, you can choose do display your last favorite tweets.

While browsing on Twitter, if you stumble upon some treasures and would like to share them with your site readers, this feature is for you.

All you need to do, is to select as content type : Favorites in the last Tweets modules.

When you add a photo in an article, a series of treatments are done. Among these treatments, there is the generation of thumbnails.

For each picture, there is a several versions that are created by the application. These versions are used in different parts of your site, to offer the best display ​​to your visitors.

We've just added 4 new sizes. This brings to six the number of thumbnails available to configure your modules on the front office.

Do you know the tokens? Do you use them?

Tokens are fictitious words written in between brackets [ ]. They are used in modules which display content. This is a very convenient way to tell the application to display an information at a given location.

For example, let's say you want to display at the bottom of your articles the author and the date as follows:

With the Tokens use, it is:


The use of TOKEN began at the creation of Web TV offer . Their use is much more powerful than simple check boxes.

First of all, it lightens the pages of module settings. An input field is enough where you need several lines of check boxes, but mostly, Tokens give you an extreme flexibility in how you want to display information. You are free to compose your sentences as you see fit.

So we have deployed their utlisation in a lot of modules in the CMS.

New modules have been updated today to benefit from the use of tokens. This note is an opportunity to tell you which one.

Let's carry on with the series of novelties on headlines modules. Today, the zone of work is the large central column of your site.

We created the new module Modern 7 and we have improved performances and expanded the possibilities of the displays  Modern 1 to Modern 6.

There we go!  We have completely switched to theframework javascript JQuery.

For many years, we used Prototype. But over the time, JQuery has emerged as a more powerful framework, offering more elaborate display effects. JQuery also has a very active community of users. It's very motivating, and inspiring.

We were also driven by our  most Geeks users to take the plunge.

JQuery was first used at the launch of the redesign of the back office V5,  about a year ago.

Once the back office V5 completed, we have not waisted our time, we used JQuery very quickly in the front office. It was a very big job done by master Jim.

This "invisible" work will now pay off. I'll see you tomorrow for the presentation of new headline modules.

We offer three new sets of icons for Web Services 2.0 Module

We wanted to make icons smaller than the previous series. We noticed that is was a lot more trendier nowadays. Like the last update of the search module, this is the kind of little details that makes the difference between good and excellent design.

The first set is in color, the other 2 are black and white.

Last week, we were switching on our new file server architecture (NAS) for 2012.

The incident of October made us buy lots of material:

- 40 SEAGATE ES disks (Enterprise Class) guaranteed for 5 years and 1.2 million hours. 2 To each fo the NAS.
- 20 Intel SSD Drives 600 GB at 1000 € each, 5 year guarantee, in order to have an ultra fast pool.
- 2 HP servers used as NAS head with 16 core CPU, 16GB of RAM and dual 10Gb network interface.
- A P2000 24 drives HP bay with quad 10 Gb network interface.
