Superdesk Publisher 1.2 release
The latest release of Superdesk Publisher, our digital-native publishing extension for Superdesk, brings a host of new features to put creativity back in the newsroom. Adding and installing themes is easier than ever before; plus, we have some new themes to choose from. Meanwhile, newsroom managers will appreciate more fine-grained user role management, with the option to assign specific permissions to modify and maintain live websites. Last but not least, publishers can now add Live Blog to their websites in just a few clicks, thanks to a dedicated Live Blog widget.
Here are the updates in more detail.
New features:
Content list loader provides an overview of content lists
Live Blog widget
API to upload new themes
API to install uploaded themes to tenant and activate selected theme
Enhanced filtering options for collecting content
Livesite Editor:
API for livesite management authentication
Append livesite management scripts to page when activated by API
Authentication for Livesite Editor allows you to assign permissions for users to access and maintain websites directly in the front end. User permission has been added in Superdesk as a new user role. Users who have this permission to work in the Livesite Editor are able to access it directly from the Superdesk Publisher UI for every tenant/website defined.
Improvements:
Improve user management on default theme
Redirect routes with trailing slash to versions without it
Improve article preview, handle article media in AMP preview
