I've now put a few changes onto the test site, that I'll put live next week if there are no problems spotted. Mostly things that came up in the group chat today, and a few other things from my todo list:

  • WYSIWYG editor now inserts the proper player widget when embedding audio assets.
  • Embedding a survey on a page using the Survey includelet now correctly includes section title/description if it's a multi-section survey. You can choose whether multi-section surveys are shown on a single page or multiple pages by changing the settings on each section.
  • Add a button to show password on password input boxes (both when logging in and when setting a new password).
  • Can now set transparency level in the colour picker for Background Image includelet.
  • Drop shadow style for links has returned.
  • Some accessibility improvements for screen readers, labelling page areas more clearly and taking the tabstop off "Read More" links.
  • Improvement to login page, no longer takes you to the main Voice site to show login errors. Not sure why it ever did this!?

The main changes I'm working on are to make the admin pages mobile friendly. This is coming soon, I promise, though it's still a little way away from being ready for general consumption!

Thanks

I've put these changes live now, plus I've added a Bluesky link option in the site settings, which adds the logo/link into the site footer. Not so many people like X any more!

Please do let me know if you run into any problems! 

Sorry that the new mobile-friendly admin pages are taking a while - my "real" job has been busy this last month or so. I'm still hoping to have something ready in time for Christmas though :-)

Thanks

Joe

I think I have tried to use the transparancy setting on the background image includelet... I assume you use the slider next to the colour (wheel) selector. It doesnt appear to make any difference to the colour. Also it would be great if you could set the transparancy on a background image.

For transparency of background images a bit of custom CSS can do this quite easily I think.

Firstly, in the Background Begin includelet, add a name in the CSS Classes setting. Like 'transparent' or whatever. You will then use this in the custom CSS.

In your Raw Header HTML in the theme options (or in a custom CSS file), add something like:

<style>
.background-image-wrapper.transparent {
  opacity: 0.5;
}
</style>

Put your chosen css class name in the selector name after the second dot. And set the opacity to whatever you like. Any number between 0 (transparent) and 1 (opaque).

Thanks

Thanks, I'll try that.

What was I doing wrong trying to get the transparency function to work on background colours?
