Overview
Past functionality
Whenever you needed to upload customised JavaScripts or Style Sheets for use in CMS, you would need to navigate to the File Manager menu and upload the files into the relevant folder, then reference them in a HTML Snippet widget, and apply to a page(s).
If you had to change the scripts, you couldn’t edit them within CMS. Instead, you had to make your changes locally and upload the amended files to your CMS.
The HTML Snippet widget allows you to do so much more than applying styles or running scripts. Therefore, unless you added a meaningful description to the HTML widget, how would you know what it was doing? You couldn't.
New functionality

The new CMS Style Sheet Editor functionality allows you to create and edit scripts and styles from within CMS, and, because the widget functions to run scripts or apply styles only, you know at a glance if a page is using customised JavaScript or Style Sheets. The Scripts & Styles widget allows you to bundle related scripts and styles into one widget, to function as a unit. Or you can load multiple Scripts and Style widgets to operate independently on a page. Ticking the checkbox next to the widget in the page layout turns them on or off when needed. |
