The Carbon Template is now available in Blog version.

Normally when we put online a template, its portal and blog versions are available simultaneously.

In case of Carbon it has happened in 2 times, because during development of this template we wanted to highlight your articles including for the Blog+ offer. First we had to overhaul My Posts module to propose then the Carbon Blog version.

The result is nice, isn’t it?

The Store Item module has recently been improved. Although general module operating remains the same, a lot of display options are henceforth available.
Let’s see it in detail!

The Headlines Video module enables you to offer videos from your website homepage.

Many of you have suggested us this type of module. And here you are!

For those who are impatient to test it and won’t finish this post, this module can be found in DESIGN > Add (in central column) > Content.

You will say that where there's smoke, there's fire (new video player, unbelievable hosting capacities,...). So yes, some of you had guessed it, those novelties announced the HD in your favorite CMS!

Portal users (Xpert and Pro), you'll be enabled to propose videos in High Definition.

The superior quality of the videos in High Definition can't be denied. A simple look at this note illustration will convince anyone.

Here's how to obtain such a result:

1 -Activate the HD
Firstable, you must of course activate the HD encoding in your backoffice. This is to be done in MANAGEMENT > Settings > Video > Encoding

2 -Send a source video of good quality
This seems evident, but let's get into the details. The resolution of an HD video at WMaker is 1280x720 (720p). Thus, if your source video has an inferior size, it will not be encoded in HD.

If those 2 conditions are respected, the videos will be encoded in HD. You can even choose to receive a notification email, indicating that the encoding is finished.

For those videos, an "HD" button will display in the player, in the front office.
It enables to select the quality of the video to play.

My Posts, which is the module particularly used by WMaker bloggers, has been noticeably amended today.

This module enables you to display in chronological order the articles on your website. To present day its main advantage was a possibility to display the whole articles content directly from the homepage.

Blogging forms being diversified more and more (photo blog, video blog, promo blog etc.), we wanted to add to My Posts module very visual display modes.

Finally, this module became many-sided, extremely flexible at the settings level. Personally, I think this module can be of interest for all WMaker users. Such it’s good to vary content display! View this notice in the below HD video.

We've boosted capacities for the transfer of datas and for storage ! You've always had comfortable hosting capacities at WMaker, thus we continue this way!

As we're in love with technique, we've always used the most advanced hardware in our architecture.
For an exemple, we dipose of X4540 file servers that hold 48 hard disks.

The advantage of those machines, beside of being upscaled, is that the Go costs about 1$ (working force not counted)

Thus we've greatly surpassed our competitors concerning the proposed storage capacities.

The new hard disks, low consumption with a high capacity, 1 To up to 2 To, will increase this advance.

However, for the transfered datas, we depended on the market prices. The incredible raise of the video traffic had blocked the bandwidth prices for nearly 2 years.

For more than a year now, all our network architecture has been set up to be a 100% Gigabits, at the level of SUN servers as well as the Cisco switches.

This data runway was shrinked on a small road, our network connexion was 2 x 100 Mb/s (garanted with QoS)

We renegociated our agreements with OVH and took the occasion to raise the capacity transfered datas (bandwidth).

We dispose of 2 x 400 Mb/s that we can upgraded rapidly to 2 x 1000 Mb/s. To go further, we'll need a 10Gb/s router. We're expecting this for 2010...

Today, we've also updated the capacities of the offer table. The unit prices have been added at the end of the table for the ones who punctually need more bandwidth.

Always more for the same price...

New mobile statistics are available. You can analyze the consultation of the mobile version considering:
- the visits
- the visitors
- the viewed pages

A summary table informs about the current month datas.

It also enables to know from which mobile device the mobinautes reach your site.

Concerning WMaker blog, it's in majority from the iPhones. And for you?

There are news concerning the video player. A new version has been published!

Before detailing the modifications, I let you get aware of the novelties by yourself thanks to this video.
