WYSIWYG Web Builder 11 (teaser)

Post by Pablo »

The next major version of WYSIWYG Web Builder (WWB11) is planned for 2016, this will be a major upgrade with more than 150 new features and improvements!
This post will give you a sneak peak at some of these new features, it will be regularly updated with new information, so make sure you don't miss anything...

ScrollSpy, Affix and Smooth Scrolling
Inspired by Bootstrap we have added support for ScrollSpy, Affix and Smooth Scrolling

ScrollSpy is a navigation mechanism that automatically highlights the navigation buttons based on the scroll position to indicate the visitor where they are currently on the page. This feature works in combination with bookmarks.

The Affix functionality is often used with navigation menus to make them "stick" at a specific area while scrolling up and down the page.

The bookmark object now supports Smooth Scrolling. When link to a bookmark is clicked the page will scroll smoothly to the bookmark, optionally with easing effects.

Here's a demo of these new features:

Responsive Styles
Most objects now can have different fonts, backgrounds and text colors in breakpoints.

Added support for responsive styles in Style Manager.

Image

You can also configure different background properties in breakpoints.

Here's a basic example of this functionality:
http://wysiwygwebbuilder.com/support/rdwstyles.html

This demo has 3 breakpoints. In each breakpoint the objects have different styles. The background background also has a different color.
Note that this can also be a different image or other background style!
The text object uses responsive styles (created with Style Manager), which makes it possible to mix different styles and switch to another fonts or sizes in breakpoints.

Layout grid
The Layout Grid can be used to create flexible multi column layouts that automatically adapt to the screen size. A grid can have up to 12 columns, with sizes in percentages.
Objects that are dragged into a grid will automatically become floating. For smaller (mobile) screens all columns are stacked based on the defined breakpoint.
This is a great new way to create flexible and responsive (Bootstrap-like) layouts!

Here's a demo:

Parallax
WYSIWYG Web Builder 11 will have built-in support for the 'parallax' background effect.
The background image scrolls slower than the content in the foreground, creating the illusion of 3D depth.

Demo:

More demos with different scroll speeds:

HTML/CSS/JavaScript
New options to control the generated code.

Image

- Added the ability to put all page specific scripts in an external (JS) file.

- Added 'Move JavaScript to the end of the page' option. This will place all scripts at the end of the page. This may result in better performance because the JavaScript will be executed after the rest of the page has been loaded. This is also known as "Unobtrusive JavaScript".

- Added JavaScript 'minify' option. Removes all white spaces and line feeds from the code.

- Added HTML 'minify' option. This option can be used to reduce the size of the generated HTML and may improve the performance of the page.

- Added CSS formatting options: beautify, compact and minify.
'Beautify' formats the CSS code so it looks better and is easier to read.
'Compact' compacts all styles from a section into one line.
'Minify' reduces the size of the generated CSS by removing tabs, spaces and line feeds.

- Added the ability to insert code inside the <html> tag. In Page HTML or via an HTML object.

Lazy Loading
Enable this option to delay the loading of images until they are visible in the view port. This will speed up the page loading. It also prevents loading large images in mobile devices because only the visible images will be downloaded.

Pagination
If you have a web site with lots of pages, you may wish to add the pagination object for easier navigation. You can either manually configure all links for the menu or automatically synchronize with Site manager. In that case the menu will automatically generate links with auto numbering and next/previous buttons.
This menu also works with the Content Management System.

Layers
- New feature: Added ‘Full Screen’ floating mode. This will set the width/height of the layer to 100% of the current view port. This can be useful for creating full screen/single page web sites.

Example:
http://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/suppor ... creen.html

- New feature: Added Bootstrap modal layer support. Unlike the jQuery UI option this one is responsive!

Example:
http://wysiwygwebbuilder.com/support/bo ... modal.html

- Improved: Relative layers now use floating point numbers in percentages to reduce rounding errors.

- New feature: Added 'Box Sizing' property. The box-sizing property is used to tell the browser what the sizing properties (width and height) should include.
Should they include the border-box or just the content-box (which is the default value)? The 'border-box' option is especially useful for full width layers, where you usually want the border inside the viewport. With content-box the border size will be added to the total width (> 100%).

- New feature: Added 'Enable backdrop' option for Modal Layer. Specifies whether the background overlay is enabled.

- New feature: Added 'Close on escape' for Modal Layer. Specifies whether pressing the 'esc' key will close the modal layer.

- New feature: Added 'Display close button' for Modal Layer. Specifies whether the default close button should be displayed.

- New feature: Added 'Animation' option for Modal Layer. Specifies whether animation is used to show/hide the modal layer: None, Fade or Slide.

- New feature: Added 'Enable form' property. This option converts the layer into a form. Great for combination with modal mode or other advanced layer features, so you do not have to add a separate form inside a layer.

Forms
As previously mentioned the styles of form elements are now responsive. This means that you can have different font sizes, font families, text colors and backgrounds in breakpoints.

Label
The HTML Label Element (<label>) represents a caption for an item in a form (editbox, textarea, combobox, checkbox, radio button, file upload). The <label> element provides a usability improvement for mouse users, because if the user clicks on the text within the <label> element, it toggles the control. Screen readers and 'voice browsers' use the label to identify and use form inputs.

Image

Image

Form Wizard
The Form Wizard now creates label objects instead of standard text.

Editbox, TextArea, Combobox
Added 'Focus state'. This removes the default outline styles and applies a box-shadow (with customizable color) in its place.

Image

Combobox
Added group option. Groups can be used to group related options in a drop-down list. If you have a long list of options, groups of related options are easier to handle for a user.

Login Tools
Added responsive layout mode. In this mode input fields have 100% width (instead of a fixed size), so it can have a different size in breakpoints.

Image

Added option 'Use place holders instead of labels'. Enabling this option results in a cleaner layout.

YouTube
Added 'Aspect ratio' option. Keeps the aspect ratio of the video fixed at 16:9 or 4:3.
