Wordpress 3.1, new features
Wordpress 3.1 takes a step towards Drupal and offers various very useful features specific to the more general CMS.
The list after the main directions was determined at the meeting. This version is now described as a true CMS .
Dashboard
As in the Drupal section, a panel with administrative functions is displayed at the top of the page.
This page remains for the connected administrator on all displayed pages. This allows you to add an article when viewing content.
Automatic internal communications
It is easier to create internal links to previous articles in the blog/site, with a search button and a tool to automatically include a link to a found page.
When you add a link, clicking the icon prompts you to add a link to the previous article. You will then see a list of selected items for relevance. Real help in binding!
Publish from Home Page
This is done from the dashboard at the top of the page.
Alternative style
Version 3.0 introduced alternative page templates. The next step is to allow alternative page styles to be selected when editing the post.
This should be implemented by the developer in the topic.
Personal administration
For several sites - a personal panel for each site.
Custom Ticket Format vs. Custom Page Type
The list of formats allows topics to customize each page of the site individually. The list is not extended, even by a plugin, it must be common to all topics. But the topic can only stand part of the list.
The difference with custom page types is that the latter are based on a specific template, included in the theme, while ticket formats depend on meta-information on the page.
See Message Format and Types adjusted pages." In version 3.1, you can get a list of custom page types .
Manage multiple nodes
New global administrative panel.
New style
The administration is refreshed with a new light blue style.
The entry section is cleared with fewer input fields, but all of them can be found from the screen parameters.
Availability and links
Version 3.1 is available from February 22, 2011. The update is performed automatically.
