June 2016 Site Update

Matt
Matt
17 Jun 2016

Is it June already??! In our 4th site update of the year (which went live on Tuesday night), we've got some nice improvements for mobile / touch-based devices, and a whole host of other fixes & enhancements across the site.

 

  • The main menu now works more intuitively for touch-based devices, so the first touch of 'Resources' pops up the sub-menu, and doesn't try to take you off to the resources area.
  • All Design Center pages will have a mini-menu with filter which will display on smaller screens.
  • You can now add images to your content when you're on your smartphone!

Improvements

 

  • Add product links each RoadTest Review.. makes it easier to find the product on the store!
  • Redesign & Update the countdown clock.. it looks a lot nicer now! image
  • Add bookmark option to RoadTests and RoadTest Reviews
  • Allow unavailable products to display in Product detail panels (rather than showing an error)
  • Change the default widgets that appear on the right-side for a RoadTest
  • Re-work the Cadsoft Freemium form to make it as simple as possible for our members to get the trial
  • Improve a few German translations based on staff feedback

 

+ 1 other improvement

 

Fixes

 

  • URL for prev/next is incorrect for some content types (like Video)
  • The auto-link process was deleting some parts when it converts others to product links (an edge-case noticed by a top member)
  • US users weren't getting RoHS CofC because search is done on the UK site.. that's now fixed
  • Alter Events so that URLs for the event are fixed when not specified properly
  • Search text doesn't fit button in French language
  • Replace browser pointer with 'Hand' icon on RoadTest application confirmations
  • Typo in main nav for CadSoft
  • Bookmarked items weren't loading in some situations
  • One particular user can't create a RoadTest Review

 

+ 4 other fixes

 

Design Center

 

  • Updates to Bundles
  • Bundles only work with Stand Alone products
  • Remove archived page from Community search results
  • Accordion still appears when there is no content
  • Some characters are being stripped from MFG PN
  • Software Landing Page: Align the grey boxes on top and bottom
  • Setup Links in Featured Tools Page to Open in New Window
  • Mobile: Add Design Center filter menu to Overview pages for mobile
  • Mobile: On some product pages, the sub-nav is missing

    Hi Matt, Thanks for the update. So far I have not seen any adverse affects in the site, at least the areas I frequent. Any time you can make an update and few people notice is a good day. Give an atta…

    Sounds like I should do a blog post on the technologies people use to access the Community. I did a post a while ago, but it could be time to do another Windows 10 on the rise I've just had a look at mobile…

    Windows 10 on the rise

     

    I've just had a look at mobile -vs- desktop at the end of 2016 and we average around;

     

    50% Windows desktop

    23% Android

    12% iOS

    8% Mac

    7% Linux

     

    I'll see what I can do about doing a dedicated blog post on site stats.

    Hi Matt,

     

    Thanks for the update.  So far I have not seen any adverse affects in the site, at least the areas I frequent.

     

    Any time you can make an update and few people notice is a good day.  Give an atta boy to the group, they deserve it.
