New Features

Smart Search Overhaul

Features & Enhancements

Streamlined User Interface

The Titan CMS Workstation has been streamlined to improve productivity. The App Ribbon combines access to the application modules with the Create and Publish actions and the edit tabs to provide an approachable, yet powerful management experience.

Search Breadcrumb

The Workstation now features an interactive search breadcrumb utility that makes finding content based on filters much easier. The SearchCrumb tracks recent searches and provides navigation-based suggestions.

Drag and Drop Dashboard

The home screen of the Workstation is now even more flexible. All widgets support drag and drop organization.

Resizable Tree and Edit Pane

For very large content trees, the ability to resize the Tree area is a must have. Additionally, being able to enlarge the Edit Pane makes working with large format content much friendlier.

Page Action Menu

Most of the old toolbar actions are now located in the Page Actions Menu button visible on the results tab, putting common actions closer to the items being selected.

Resizable Results Columns

Browse Views, which are used to present a table of Results in the Workstation, now have resizable columns. 

Add a Block Menu / Block Library

The new Add a Block menu presents a nice library view of available system blocks, as well as personal and global block copies. In addition, block copies now store style and zone information that is automatically applied when added to content pages.

Content Blocks

Working with the block stack has been improved to allow drag and drop ordering. In addition, block editors now take up the full width of the Edit Pane. Workstation block rendering has been enhanced to apply your website styling for a more realistic content preview.

Specific Block Enhancements

Freeform Video

The CKEditor was enhanced to insert HTML5 video tags, replacing the FlowPlayer video player integration.

Form Labels

The Form Editor block now supports configuration of label tags on inputs for improved accessibility.

Filter Configuration

The configuration of Tags as filters in the Filter block have been enhanced to match the implementation of filters in Data List. This gives users a more consistent way of building page filters.

MVC Applications

The Application block has been enhanced to support Razor view files and MVC applications as content, including continued support for .NET WebForms code and external URLs.

Immediate Change Detection and Validation

Input fields in the Workstation provide immediate feedback when changed. This includes inline validation messages.

Simplified Admin Configuration

The Titan Admin module configuration tree has been simplified so that users have access to more configuration elements in a single screen, reducing the number of clicks to make changes to the environment. Additionally, changes in Titan Admin no longer require users to perform a “Refresh App Vars” call for the updating of cached configuration data.

Technology Upgrades

Northwoods is committed to keeping various technologies that support Titan CMS current, including:

• Microsoft Windows Server 2016
• Microsoft SQL Server 2017
• .NET Framework 4.7.2 and MVC 5.2.7

Also included in this release are upgrades to third-party tool integrations, including:

• CKEditor 4.13.0
• dtSearch 7.92

In addition to these upgrades, dependence on third-party libraries has been reduced by removing the Telerik controls libraries that provided Navigation Tree control in the Workstation, allowing greater flexibility and opportunity for tree enhancements. Additionally, support for the FlowPlayer video player control was removed in favor of the now-standard HTML5 video tag.

Finally, while not a third-party library, Silverlight controls that supported multi-file upload and Data imports in older versions of Internet Explorer were deprecated.

Original Release Date: January 3, 2019

Features & Enhancements

Responsive Template Enhancements “ReFlex”

In version 6.9, we introduced the new Responsive Template called ReFlex. In version 6.9.5, we advanced the new ReFlex Theme to provide a polished, professional experience to your end users. ReFlex Theme highlights added:

• Responsive means support across devices as well as modern browsers.
• Smooth scrolling, block animations, and header/menu transitions provide a polished, professional look.
• Modular approach to the ReFlex Theme means a wide array of layouts and user experiences are possible. With ReFlex, you won’t need to settle for another cookie-cutter template.

Administration Improvements

How a CMS responds to various requests can have a big impact on user experience and search engine optimization (SEO). With version 6.9.5, we paid close attention to how Titan CMS responds to various requests to ensure the default "out-of-the-box" behavior is optimal for the request being made. We also moved the control of this default behavior into the Titan CMS workstation to allow our end users full control over how Titan CMS responds to various requests.

• New Global Parameter allowing domain level configuration of the following:
  • Friendly 404 Page
  • Default domain home page
  • Robots.txt
  • Alternate, "vanity", domains
• Additional flexibility for Content Site Theme level code snippets with ability to add snippets immediately after opening BODY tag or before closing BODY tag
• Enhanced Mail Provider support allowing use of 3rd party services such as SendGrid or MailChimp for delivery of your Titan CMS based emails

Security Features

Northwoods has always engaged in best security and privacy by design practices. With version 6.9.5, we continue this tradition by providing some tweaks to Titan CMS’s already secure framework:

• Our team studied up on the latest regulations related to data privacy, General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CPA) going into effect in 2020 and took what we learned to perform an audit of Titan CMS tracking and analytics features. We removed or anonymized any personally identifiable information logged by Titan CMS features. For more information on the new standards and why this is important, read our recent blog.
• Encryption of sensitive meta-information (Global Parameters) provides an extra layer of protection to sensitive data such as API credentials and other instance meta-data needing to be stored in an encrypted format.
• New data encryption libraries allow us to use the latest encryption technologies available to protect sensitive application data.
• Native TLS 1.2 support.

Platform Installer

With version 6.9.5, we introduce the Titan CMS Platform Installer. The Titan CMS Platform Installer is a foundational component of the next generation of Titan CMS. It promises to simplify installations and upgrades. In addition, it is key to supporting a Titan CMS Marketplace where Titan CMS add-ins and upgrades will be made available for enhancing your Titan CMS instance down the road. Here are some highlights of the Platform Installer:

• Streamlines installation, upgrade, and aftermarket add-in installation through web-based package manager.
• Supports complex, web-farm environments by fully handling file synchronization between all nodes in the farm
• Pre-requisite for access to future Titan CMS Marketplace add-ins

Technical Updates

Ensuring Titan CMS runs on currently supported underlying technologies is critical to maintaining a secure, stable environment. With version 6.9.5, the following technology upgrades have been tested and approved:

• Windows Server 2016
• Microsoft SQL 2016
• Latest.NETv4.7.2 means better security including default support for TLS 1.2
• Upgraded the built-in organic search engine, dtSearch, to latest 64-bit version. Includes performance and security updates, Additional support now available for extracting embedded document objects, improved PDF hit highlighting, indexing OneNote (*.one), iCalendar (*.ics), iWork, Numbers, Keynote, Azure blobs, Adobe Photo metadata, encrypted PDFs, SharePoint data, and Hancom (*.hwp) files.

Performance

With Titan CMS, our clients have come to expect fast load times and a problem free experience. With version v6.9.5, we deliver several new optimizations to improve page load times, scalability, and minimize resource demands:

• Bundling and minification for all cascading stylesheet (CSS) and JavaScript (JS) files referenced from your Titan environment is now standard. This includes support for deferred and asynchronous loading of assets.
• Improved use of caching headers and eTags improve page load times by reducing server domain and better leveraging web browser cache.
• Caching improvements for secure sites (extranets, intranets, member sites, etc.). We’ve updated the session-based navigation caching for secure and mixed-security sites to reduce the memory footprint, improve load time, and better support high-traffic intranet/extranet sites on fewer resources.
• Database maintenance tasks improvements
  • Disk Sweeper Task (keeps physical file storage optimized and minimized) optimized to greatly reduce the execution time and resource overhead for large File Piles
  • Database Cleanup Background Job optimizations to reduce execution time, locking related issues (i.e. “CMS is Busy” message), and resource overhead for large databases

Features & Enhancements

Responsive Template

We have pulled the plug on our old themes and replaced them with a fully responsive theme that we call ReFlex. This is a Variable Color Theme and is easy to modify using the Theme Creation wizard in Titan Administration. 

CSS Minification and Preprocessing

With the new theme we are beginning to use CSS Custom Properties, also known as CSS variables. Until native support for variables exists for all browsers, we've implemented a simple CSS preprocessor that handles variable substitution, and performs minification on all our CSS files. In the end, Titan v6.9 offers improved CSS coding flexibility and performance.

Drag and Drop Images and Files

We've added the ability for authors and editors to drag and drop images and files directly into freeform editors. We automatically upload the files to user defined destinations, and place image thumbnails or links into the content.

CKEditor Upgrade / Accessibility Checker

We have upgraded to CKEditor version 4.6.2, and have enabled the Accessibility Checker. This plugin includes a wide array of accessibility tests for improving your freeform content to meet requirements for accessible content.
