5.4 update. ooh just one decimal place , always fills me with hope…

I put a simple request in to SP about the rss feed action action months ago if not more ! requesting that the description box be increased in size, it is really difficult to enter more than one line of text, you have to flip back and to just to read what you have entered. How difficult is it to increase the size of a box ??

and still the first letter or word in many html divs continue to drop out of site, I submitted this bug after version 5.0 came out and still the irritating bug is here… admitted by SP as a known flaw

and as for my request for sftp, dream on…

I have contacted SP several times, they say it is on the list ( must be a big one ) but nothing happens so I have finally decided to throw my rattle out of my pram here in public so maybe, just maybe they will get fixed before version 6.0 comes out…

No Comment ( that is printable anyway )

Great additions. Thanks to all of you at Softpress for this update. I particularly appreciate the “use content width” in the new CSS menu Action. Also the AddThat Action is a very nice touch and very easy to implement.

Does upgrading to 5.4 make any difference to your existing CSS menus
in your existing Freeway Documents?

Anyone tested this yet?

The now-old CSS Menus settings are all still there in the new CSS
Menus, so your existing menu structures shouldn’t be changed until
you choose to use the new options. That’s how it was for me.

Hi David,

We’ve been giving this very thing a thorough testing, yes. Personally,
I would still make a backup of files before opening them. If you
encounter any problems, please let us know.

Hi Gary,

Sorry this one slipped through, but remember, 99% of our Actions are
open source so you can always go in and edit them yourself if you need
to. If you’re up for it then open the application bundle up (Control-
click>Show Package Contents and navigate to Contents/SharedSupport/
Actions/FAST/RSS Feed.fwactionb then do another Show Package contents
then Contents/Resources/Actions/RSS Feed.fwaction. You can then edit
anything you like in the Action.

Personally I’d recommend making a copy of it and placing it in the /
Library/Application Support/Freeway 5 Pro/Actions/ folder, then if you
mess it up you can remove it and fallback to the built-in copy.

For some Action Writing information, take a look at this documentation
here:

and still the first letter or word in many html divs continue to
drop out of site, I submitted this bug after version 5.0 came out
and still the irritating bug is here… admitted by SP as a known flaw

This is something we are still working on. Apologies for it it taking
so long.

and as for my request for sftp, dream on…

We still have a suggestion logged for this but if you need to use a
secure method now then a dedicated FTP client will do exactly what you
need (if you don’t already have one then try Cyberduck, it’s free!).
They tend to have exactly the same functionality as regular FTP in
Freeway, in that you can use File Copy from Freeway’s Upload dialog to
copy your finished site into a folder on your machine, and then
synchronize that folder with your server using SFTP or FTPS (whichever
method your host requires). The end result is no different to
uploading through Freeway.

I have contacted SP several times, they say it is on the list ( must
be a big one ) but nothing happens so I have finally decided to
throw my rattle out of my pram here in public so maybe, just maybe
they will get fixed before version 6.0 comes out…

Hi Gary,
Send me a screen shot of how wide you want these text fields (or how
much data you want to be able to see in the interface) and I’ll
happily adjust the action for you and send you back an updated version.
Regards,
Tim.

OK Thanks, I’ll give it a whirl and tread lightly.

To Joe and Tim,

Joe thanks for that, I apologise to all for my little tantrum, had been a long day and I thought the update might cheer me up, perhaps beer would have been better, might have made me less irritable. Tim has kindly offered to amend the action for me, so that will be good. although had I known that I could potentially do it myself I would have had a go…

the others are less important in the scheme of things, I do use Transmit, but I have to be very careful not to delete extra files not put there by Freeway, it has happened once, a real pain, I honestly think that the uploads directly from Freeway are in fact quicker than using sync mode in Transmit so that is why I would like the SFTP option to be included at some time, the largest site I am working on is 140 pages + and every little update to Fw actions means a republish which takes ages, so I will wait quietly for that one.

I will go away and try the new features added and put up a more positive posting in due course, I love Freeway, it is a very good program with a great support community and it has changed my life ( so perhaps like any love affair it has its good and bad days ! )

thanks to all

Gary

Hi Gary,

No problem at all, if we get no feedback like that then how can we
move forward and improve?

We appreciate your reply.

Hi there

I too would like a copy of the edited RSS action if that’s at all possible, or maybe it could be added to the Forge?

Thanks
