Version 1.1.0: Introduce Plugins

Release date: 05.02.2018

Version 1.1.0 introduces plugins to typemill. And because of the GDPR, the first plugin is an implementation of the famous cookieconsent. So heads up, you can publish GDPR-compliant websites with typemill now!

All plugins are in the "plugin"-folder, and I can't wait, that this folder will be stuffed with cool extensions.

To update the system, please delete, replace and upload

  • the "system" folder and
  • the "theme" folder.
  • the "plugin" folder (new).

Then backup and delete your settings.yaml in the settings-folder.

Now visit your startpage and click on the new setup-button. The button will direct you to the new setup page, where you can configure the basic system and the new cookieconsent-plugin.

Plugins are easy to use for writers, but a plugin system is pretty complex to implement for a developer, so there is a lot of new code. For now, there is no documentation for developers, but it will follow, soon.

Also introduced with 1.1.0 :

  • Field Builder
  • CSRF-Protection
  • Input Validation
  • Version Check for Plugins, Themes and Core-System
  • Simple Asset Manager
  • Twig Extensions
