Movable Type 4.15 Dashboard Design
in Movable Type, Webdev, wordpress / tags: dashboard, design, movabletype 4, release, sixapart
WordPress 2.5 did a major redesign on its user interface — also known as Dashboard. And, it looks great. But, this time, I will not talk about WordPress. It’s Movable Type. Right now, Movable Type is on its latest stable release (Movable Type 4.1 — it’s free). For the coming release (Movable Type 4.15) there will be some changes on its dashboard interface too. Also, there are some other new — and improved — features. Here are some highlights:
- Single template listing. If we’re using the latest stable version, managing templates is easy, but we might feel not comfortable and easy in finding the template-related elements. For example, we want to know the URI structures for archive templates. We will go to “Design” tab, choose “Templates”, “Archive Templates” and click on the desired template structure options. The coming design will be more effective. On the “Design” page, we will be presented with a list of templates avaible in the system. All there.
- Related to the first point, there will be changes on the navigation menu. We can work faster now.
- Discussion should be better as Simply Threaded comment plugin — developed by Arvind Satyanarayan — will be included in the distribution.
