Percussion CMS Version 3.2 Release Notes

Enhancements

Release 3.2 includes the following enhancements:

Widget Builder (beta)

To support a greater range of widgets without the need to customize the application, Percussion has developed a Widget Builder that will allow users with HTML, CSS and Javascript skills to create their own custom widgets, while ensuring they are compatible with future releases of the Percussion CMS.  In 3.2, this feature is being released in beta to a limited number of customers. If you are interested in participating in the beta, please contact customer support.  

Widget Builder servers two main purposes:

1. It allows designers to build custom widgets such as panel sliders or tabbed displays, that will allow content contributors to easily add content. 
2. It supports the ability to create structured content comprised of multiple fields, similar to a blog post. For example, an Article widget could contain an author field, a title, a release date, a summary and the main body post.  

Percussion expects to release the widget builder as generally available in the 3.3 release.
