| WHAT'S NEW IN 3.0 | March 29, 2009 @ 2:50am | Hello Everyone!

Listed below the New Features as well as Bug Fixes included in this release.
FlexCMS 3.0

- Ability to set a longer page title for use in browser titles (while not making a mess of emails, printable pages, etc)
- Ability to set browser title, meta keywords, and meta description on a per-page basis (overrides site defaults if entered)
- "Edit" link now displayed on pages the user has permission to modify
- Usernames can now be looked up by email address (emailed to user at the address on file). To accommodate this, accounts are now limited to one per email address.
- New Templates

eCommerce

- Fixed occasional unreadable colors on board & category administration section
- Fixed errors resulting from certain incorrect combinations of board codes
- Forum code can now be inserted around a selection in Mozilla-based browsers, instead of just at the end
- Long URLs now chopped to a reasonable length so pages aren't wildly stretched to display them (link still goes to full URL destination when clicked)

eCommerce

Photo Gallery - Rebuild thumbnails function didn't work when the StorageLocationLocal box was empty
