What's New With 4.1.0

Intro

ContentBox v4.1.0 is a minor release sporting a focus on stability from our 4.0.0 release and some great new improvements. Let's explore this release:

Upgrading

This is a minor release, so a simple box update contentbox will get you upgraded to this release.

ColdBox Upgrade

ContentBox has been upgraded to work with ColdBox 5.1.x

New Editor Interceptors

All content editors have the following new events being announced:

• Editor Navigation Tab Area

  • These events fire after the final tab in a content editor, usually so you can add your own tabs

    • cbadmin_pageEditorInBody

    • cbadmin_ContentStoreEditorNav

    • cbadmin_entryEditorNav

• Editor Navigation Body Area

  • These events fire after the final tab content panel, usually so you can add your own tab panels

    • cbadmin_pageEditorNavContent

    • cbadmin_contentStoreEditorNavContent

    • cbadmin_entryEditorNavContent

Admin Menu Services

If you are building custom ContentBox modules that attach menus to the admin menu, then this update is for you. All remove and add methods for menus now will not throw up if you reference a non-existent menu or sub menu. Cleanup is now easier since you can remove at your heart's content without worrying of getting an exception.
