Templates Manager #5

BlueGriffon — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 17:17:00 +0100

I'm almost done with the templates manager. It now correctly saves locally (or pushes to the remote server) the unzipped version of a template package. I have one bug to fix in the main window and a progressmeter to add for remote storage. And done. Woof. The result is really beautiful, and impressively simple to use. I sincerely hope a lot of template repositories are going to jump on that.

Templates Manager #4

Starts looking ok...

Builds for windows and linux

LaurentJ — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 10:34:00 +0100

You will find latest binaries of BlueGriffon (nightlies) for windows and linux here:

I built the linux version on Ubuntu 8.04. I hope it works on other distro.

In the future, we will try to provide binaries for all plateforms at the same time.

Remember that this builds are for test only. We are still far from having a full featured BlueGriffon.

A Mac OS X build today. The templates manager and the table layout manager are not in as they are extensions to the "basic" editor and I'm still working on the former.

Happy New Year

BlueGriffon — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 10:14:00 +0100

The BlueGriffon Team wishes you a very happy new year 2009!

Speaking of wishes, BlueGriffon will not only be able to apply themes to a page, but also get themes from online repositories. We're working on a themes' manifest all web sites distributing themes could serve. Giving the URL of that file to BlueGriffon would be the only thing needed to use a theme coming from that web site inside BlueGriffon. Stay tuned.

Project manager #2

BlueGriffon — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 17:58:00 +0100

Nvu's Site Manager was clearly not enough. BlueGriffon's Project Manager starts really being cool and it will be much more powerful than its ancestor. Link checking, sync with remote site and so on. Stay tuned.

Project manager

BlueGriffon — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 18:34:00 +0100

The "New Page" wizard being done and checked in, I started working on the Projects manager because w/o that, impossible to correctly handle jQuery-based pages and so on.

bluegriffon-20081210-win32.zip

built on XP Pro, contains xulrunner 1.9.1b1pre
don't miss File > New Wizard ; it's not fully functional yet, but the CSS Grid Layout builder is already working.
if you already installed a previous version of BlueGriffon, it's better to clobber the application data, so please delete directory c:\Documents and Settings\<login>\Application Data\Disruptive Innovations SARL\BlueGriffon
just unzip in a newly created dir to install (remove that dir to uninstall)

CSS-based Layouts #2

BlueGriffon — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 12:40:00 +0100

Usually, the second revamping of a dialog starts looking good.... So here's the first one and I find it much much better than the original proposal:

CSS-based Layouts

BlueGriffon — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 17:49:00 +0100

I have some great news : I got formal authorization from Yahoo! to add YUI-based CSS Layouts to BlueGriffon. Let me thank Yahoo! (and in particular Nate Koechley and Christian Heilmann) and then Jake Myers, the guy behind the famous http://layouts.ironmyers.com. The first visible result is the new "New page wizard" that is not checked in yet. See below a very early screenshot of that wizard. Warning, the UI is not at all finalized.

Mac

BlueGriffon — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 17:34:00 +0100

We just built BlueGriffon for the first time on a Mac, only to discover we have a lot to do on the theme's side for that platform. But thanks to Laurent, we now have a cool build process on all platforms that will allow us to push fresh meat to this web site more often than before.

Table layout dialog #3

BlueGriffon — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 12:40:00 +0100

A screenshot-based demo of table layouts. Create a basic table, open the layout dialog, find or create the one you want, click OK, done...

Table layout dialog #2

BlueGriffon — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 16:26:00 +0100

A lot of progress on the table layout side. It's near completion. It's now possible to create new table layouts and modify existing ones. Only remain on the radar horizontal and vertical alignment controls.

Language management

BlueGriffon — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 17:32:00 +0100

I've just added a context menu to the structure bar. The first menu item there is to manage the element's language.

The 216-Colors Webmaster's Palette

BlueGriffon — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 18:11:00 +0100

I am very happy to report that Bob Stein, the man behind VisiBone.com and the author of the amazing 216-Color Webmaster's Palette has given BlueGriffon the rights to include his palette in the app ! Stay tuned !
