Re: Test Drive & A Few Little Questions

Just WOW, absolutely loving what you have managed to create!
1. The login page/overlay - 10/10. While we've always tried to be as much as white label as possible, it's interesting to see users taking a completely opposite turn. What is your opinion on white labeling vs branding it?
2a. If any updates are detected, the user should see a "notification" after successfully logging in. (This can be easily tested if you add your own custom theme through the settings panel, and bumping the version on GitHub.
2b. In the next iteration of WonderCMS, there's a CSS native hiding/showing, so I'm thinking of releasing a beta prior to a public release, so users like you can check everything still works as expected with their modifications.
3. LOL the Wunderbar, it makes so much sense ). It's even drag and droppable! I'm interested to see how it works out on mobile? Piece of art!
8. Have you made any modifications to your index.php? If not, you should be pretty future safe in terms of anything not overwriting your awesome project.
I would urge you to post your project in the "Showoff" section. I'm tempted to bring a "featured" website on the wondercms.com homepage, so more people can see your awesome work. What do you think?
Proud of what you've done and achieved, thank you for sharing it with the community.
P.S. Upgraded your account to Developer on here, you absolutely deserve it.

2. WonderCMS doesn't download anything automatically.When people click on login, the white notice bar slides down and just explains about the update system. What has been causing me to sweat a bit, is that I am of course unfamiliar with how WCMS behaves when it does detect an actual update! I've had to force hide the save id overlay, but I've left the cache one alone, I hope that means users will receive the relevant notifications!

4. Maybe we should think of implementing local cache, for whenever the user closes them down, so they stay hidden. When they login/logout, we can clear the cache so they would re-appear. What do you think?One of the first things I noticed about the CMS which I wasn't a fan of, was that the notifications would re-appear whenever you flipped between pages. When editing multiple pages, constantly closing these became a bit of a chore, so whilst I didn't want to hide them, I thought I would put them a little more out of the way and so the Wonder Bar was born.
5. Seems like an amazing user experience. Is this something we could improve by adding a floating "Save" button and get rid of the click in/click out saving experience?Wonder Bar contains the notifications, editing instructions and the admin buttons. You'll also notice I built in a realtime 10 minute countdown, which resets every time the CMS detects a save. If ten minutes pass with no recorded save, this pops up:
6. Is this something you would be willing to share with the community? Seems super useful and an awesome/better alternative to the Airmode. I'm in awe .This left me needing to use the static Summernote editor, which is far more stable... but static.
7. I love it. Another question here is, could you possibly use the blog plugin as news? It seems we also might have to consider using the blog also as a news plugin and let the users decide what they want do to with it? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.This is a nice little bonus, but I needed an easy way for the client to add / remove news items, so I built an easy to use little news editor. Clicking the green button will generate a template article with today's date automatically added, the red cross deletes articles.

Thank you for taking the time and giving WonderCMS a chance. You seem to have completely figured it out. I'm inclined to ask for your opinion on how you think we can improve it and make it easier for amazing devs like you, to have even more fun.To wrap up I just want to say again, what a pleasure this software was to work with and I commend yourself, StephanStanisic and all the other contributors who have got the software to where it is and for your vision and stewardship of it. WCMS has been the missing piece in my workflow for years now, so I look forward to working with you all in helping to make it the best it can be and putting it under the nose of as many devs as possible.
Thanks for answering my support questions along the way. The previous backup bug seemed to be unique to my MAMP setup, so that's good. Speak later bud.
