Fuzzle 3.5: multiple selection, shortcuts and splash-screens
Wednesday, February 24, 2010 in Flash CMS NewsBelow is a guest post by Nataliya Komarova of Fuzzle CMS.
The new version of Fuzzle CMS is now available. With Fuzzle 3.5 the process of flash site creation can be even easier and more convenient thanks to multiple block selection and keyboard shortcuts. The latest version of Fuzzle also brings new possibilities for website designing: stylish gradient backgrounds and scalable splash-screens.
Let’s take a closer look at new functionality and its advantages. Multiple block selection can undoubtedly be called the hero of this release. When working in WYSIWYG mode (what you actually do using Fuzzle CMS) you sometimes need to move the group of blocks simultaneously. For example, it happens when you move several menu items or several text blocks within the page. In this case multiple block selection would significantly simplify the task. Additionally, duplication, block copying, block decoration and applying of effects are now applicable to all selected blocks. It seems, this functionality will be truly appreciated by web designers.
Shortcuts are very important for those people who can hardly imagine their work without magical combinations of Ctrl + C, Ctrl + V, Ctrl + A. Fuzzle CMS developers decided to improve their creation and make it even more comfortable to use, so these shortcuts are presented in 3.5 version with the following meanings:
- Ctrl + C — block copying;
- Ctrl + V — pastes the last copied element (block, or effect, or decoration);
- Ctrl + A — selection of all blocks
To copy the effect (for example, to bounce the appearance of a certain block) a special Ctrl + E shortcut was designed.
Web sites without stylish design will never be memorable. That’s why Fuzzle CMS developers work their hands to the bone to supply you with wide possibilities in site decoration. That’s why the latest version of Fuzzle CMS enables setting a gradient background and making splash screens. Besides, everyone can buy one of three ready-made flash website templates. In fact, the number of templates will grow.
As for other changes, page load speed has been improved. It became possible because JS-files have been deleted.
To test the new features of Fuzzle 3.5 just download a distribution from the Fuzzle CMS site. Note: the demo version can be used for as long as you feel necessary!
New Widgets for Fuzzle Flash CMS
Wednesday, November 4, 2009 in Flash CMS ProvidersRecently, we wrote about the Fuzzle CMS. Today we’d like to speak about the new widgets that have been released by the Fuzzle CMS developers. These are a Sliding Doors Menu widget and a Vertical Catalog widget. Both widgets are developed to be used with the Fuzzle Flash CMS.
More likely, you know that a widget is a kind of module that you can add to your site if necessary. So, let’s come back to the above mentioned widgets.
The first widget will help you to create a super beautiful menu. The image based navigation makes it easy for site visitors to find what they’ve been looking for. Don’t you agree that an image tells more than any word or explanation?
The settings you can customize for the Sliding Doors Menu widget are:
• the number of images added (basically you can add as many images as you want);
• sliding length;
• image height;
• pause between slides
The menu appearance can be customized as well.
Fuzzle CMS Brings Flash Sites to the Masses
Wednesday, October 14, 2009 in Flash CMS ProvidersNOTE This is a guest blog post by Nataliya Komarova of Fuzzle-CMS.com
Just recently the group of Russian developers has released its promising Fuzzle CMS to the English-speaking markets and launched Fuzzle-CMS.com. The system is claimed to be an extra easy way to create Flash websites at rather low cost.
Advantages of Flash and HTML in one system
A content management system (CMS) is a set of tools that lets you create and maintain your website’s content without knowing anything about programming. Fuzzle is a CMS for creating and managing Flash web sites that differs from regular HTML sites mainly by their presentational abilities: Flash technology allows incorporating complex animations and reach multimedia content. However, Flash sites are considered to have such disadvantages as longer time of development (therefore more cost), harder updating, bad search engines ranking.
WYSIWYG site maintenance and other Fuzzle features
At the moment a stable version 2.6 of Fuzzle CMS is issued. It has the following main features:
- multilingual interface
- simple management (convenient visual editing is based on block placement )
- design integration from a draft within 5 minutes (Flash knowledge is not required)
- SEO support (HTML version auto generation, Deep Linking support)
- continuously replenished Widget Store availability
- availability of an open simple API for external developers
