Version 6.0.0 Structure CMS™ RSS Release Feed

Welcome to Structure CMS 6.0

We have some exciting news to share! We have just released Structure CMS 6.0, the first of a series of new feature rollouts and upgrades planned for the remainder of 2019. Please take a moment to read the release notes below, log in to the new Structure CMS, and give us some feedback.

New Log In

First and most importantly, where to log in. You can click the log in button from our new Structure CMS homepage (top right) - or - you can navigate to and bookmark app.structurecms.com. Starting August 15, 2019 StructureCMS.com will point to the new homepage on the Market Rithm website. It is still under development, but you can have a sneak peek here.

Dark Mode

Let's put the sizzle before the steak. Yeah, we think this is pretty cool. An increasing number of Internet users are using dark mode. This optional feature extends mobile device battery life and is also designed to reduce eye strain. Of course, many users just prefer the smooth, elegant vibe. Give your editors the option of dark mode.

New Intelligent Dashboard

As you know, Structure is a true Multi-Domain CMS that allows you to build and manage multiple responsive websites with a single sign on. Our new intelligent dashboard helps you intuitively search, filter, sort and manage your websites. The dashboard lists your role for each website.

If you have ever stressed over, or 🥴 heaven forbid, forgot to renew your domain and/or SSLs, we have you covered. The new dashboard lists sortable domain and SSL expiration dates to help remind you to renew.

Security by Default

We built Structure 6.0 with security by default. In the previous versions of Structure, you had the option to publish as http or SSL as https. We are proud to announce, EVERY page published in Structure CMS is published secure.

Secure Varnish Caching

What is Varnish Caching, you ask? Varnish Cache is a robust web accelerator that allows, content-rich-dynamic websites to endure high traffic. It enables web pages to load faster, by as much as 1000%. Thus, the average waiting time for a page to load is drastically reduced. That is cool, but our geniuses did something no one thought was possible. We applied the Varnish Caching Layer to SECURE SSL PAGES. I can't share the secret to our sauce, but you will be impressed at the incredible secure page-load speed. It is really, really fast.

Publishing Scheduler

We released this early, but it is a great Structure 6.0 feature. You now can schedule a page in the future to either publish or unpublish at a pre-set date and time. Let's say you have a press release embargoed until 3am the next day...you don't need to set you alarm to publish. Just set it in the scheduler and forget it. When you get that 3 extra hours of zzzz's you'll thank us!

In addition to publishing at scheduled times, you can also swap layouts at pre-set times. You can schedule the homepage to a splash page, then schedule it back to the homepage layout. It couldn't be easier.

Code Like a Pro

The coding engine is now, finally, amazing. Dig in, write some psycodes, layouts or just click source into the WYSIWYG editor. We not only improved the usability of the coding engine, we added a ton of features, including:

Autocomplete
Code folding
Code text wrapping
Responsive to window size
Inline and block widgets
and the integration of Emmet

Who is Emmet? Emmet is a web-developer's toolkit that can greatly improve your HTML & CSS workflow. Emmet is developed and optimized for web-developers whose workflow depends on HTML/XML and CSS but can be used with programming languages too.

Start learning Emmet with the abbreviation syntax and available actions.

Core Code Update

We updated our code, databases, infrastructure and scalability for the features listed here and in preparation for the next game changing feature set that will disrupt the entire CMS market. No, I can't say anymore, but please stay tuned!

In addition, Structure 6.0 features:

Live Chat Support
Improved Mobile Functionality
Updated File Manager
Image Rights Attribution Management
- Including a pagelet updater that updates or deletes old suspect images without proper attribution.
