Freebird CMS Update!
Ok, so lately I've been real busy, adding extra functionality and more usability into the Freebird Content Management System.

It has been a long time coming and while the changes may seem trivial, as you all know I try to keep this monster as easy to use as possible, so these changes were totally necessary in order to make your lives easier.

Please see below a list of changes and updates:
  1. Content pages are no longer contain styling and layout.
    All content pages now draw from a database, and can contain many different "Regions" so all you have to do now to add content, is click in the area, modify the content and move on.
  2. WYSIWYG Editor Changes
    The wysiwyg editor toolbar is now no longer attached to each form field, it floats to the top right hand side of the page out of the way, so that multiple regions can also use the same editor toolbar.
  3. Member Module Changes
    The User List for the Member Module, can now be sorted by any of the columns.
  4. Templates have now been integrated
    So now you can choose a different template to use for different pages without having to copy and paste the html code into the editor each time you create a page.
  5. Media Manager
    A Media Manager link has now been added to the main administration menu so you can use a stand alone media manager rather than using it only from within editing a content page.
  6. Settings page
    Settings categories are now collapsible so you no longer have to scroll down a long page to alter settings.
  7. Various new Javascript libraries have been added.
    Ive added an additional type of lightbox, slide gallery script and also a fade image rotator. These can be called by using the {widget} tag in content areas.
  8. Blog Post Count
    You can now restrict how many blog posts are shown on the index page, category pages, and the latest blog posts widget right from the settings area.
I hope you all enjoy the new features.
