Freeway 6.0.2

Dear FreewayTalkers,

We’ve just released Freeway 6.0.2 to address a number of issues. You will be able to download this new version from the website now.

This release also brings the Chinese localization back to Freeway which was not included with 6.0 or 6.0.1.

The full release notes can be found here; http://www.softpress.com/kb/questions/432/

Regards,

Simon Manning
Software Engineer

P.S. And hopefully this one won’t thread with 6.0.1.

Thanks for squashing a few bugs Simon. My compliments to you and your team.

By the way, one of my favorite FWP 6 features is the NEW Page background options. Very cool. That alone saves me a lot of time. :slight_smile:

Yep, that happened to me too. Just grab it from Softpress’s website:

Hi John,

As RavenManiac pointed out, you can download it from the product page. We tend not to push out Sparkle (the update checker) for a little while after releasing, so FreewayTalk ends up knowing about the update a bit earlier than Freeway.

Hi Raven,

We’re looking into this. We’ll let you know what our findings are as soon as we can.

Hey Joe, I know it’s only been a day but I was wondering if you made any progress on finding a fix. I need this capability for a new site I’m working on and I need to decide whether to move forward with FWP 6.02 or dust of 5.5.

Thanks for the update. But still no language setting possible in the german edition and still not possible to change the standard arabic fonts on document settings. (In fact it doesn’t hold changed settings.) Is it on me or is it a bug?

Hi Tom,

Both are bugs.

Tom and Raven,

I’m afraid we haven’t got any closer to fixing them (they’re all in line at the minute).

This problem is occurring with standalone Actions only. We will try to get it fixed soon. As an interim measure, an Item Action version of the text tab could be created and used. This should simply be a case of duplicating the code for the text tab action, giving it a new name, and changing to .

But what would you apply that Item Action to? Inline text cannot be targeted with an Action, right?

It’s possible that real-world usage won’t allow this - I don’t know as I haven’t tried using these Actions in anything other than test scenarios. In my testing, I just changed the action type to item-action, applied it to a layer, and it all seemed to work as I expected it to.

This was just a suggestion for if someone is in a real pickle with this until we can get a real fix into Freeway.

Yes, it would do that. But then you have to insert an HTML item (inline?) where you want the text to appear, apply the Action to that element, and then you suddenly have no control over the font in the text tab. I can’t really recommend this approach. I hope you fine people find the issue soon!

If you create an HTML box on the page, and you want to put three inline text tabs inside it, you would need to do the following:

  1. Double-click into the parent element, Insert / HTML Item 3x.
  2. Click once on each of these inline elements, apply the (now item-based) Text Tab Action to that element, configure the text that should appear in that element within the Actions palette and select a target.
  3. Resulting HTML would be <div id="parent-box"><div id="tab-1"><a href="#pane1">Link Text</a></div> ... other tabs ... </div>

Since the Action is generating the text that will appear within the inline HTML boxes, how do you create a text style for those elements? You can’t use the usual Freeway trick of adding spaces at either end and “sandwiching” the style into place. That creates a P tag at either end of the run of DIVs – any style within those Ps would apply only to the space(s) within them, and would not be visible.

Conversely, if you changed the Action to allow the inline DIV to contain the link text, you would be wrapping an A around a DIV, which is legal in HTML5, but nowhere else.

Joe/Stewart,

Have you made any headway on this? I could really use the Carousel Text Tab action. My client is getting impatient and there don’t seem to be any other viable options :slight_smile:

Thanks.

Hi Raven,

We have, yes. An update will be available very soon.
