Hi Blocs Brics Fans,

SmallPotato CMS 2.1 is out

Version 2.1 brings WebP images, filter dropdowns, Google Sheet sync and a new Bric. All nine Brics are now 2.1.0.

New

  • SmallPotato-Notice: a new Bric for an announcement bar (a sale, opening hours, a holiday). Your client edits it in the admin and can schedule it. Visitors can close it, and it can sit inline, stick to the top or stay fixed at the bottom.
  • WebP images: each upload is also saved as WebP in four widths, and every screen loads the size it needs. Under Media, one click adds WebP versions to older images.
  • Filter dropdowns for Collection lists and Tables. They work together with search and the filter buttons, and the Excel download follows them.
  • Collections from a Google Sheet: the site reads the sheet every 5 minutes and adds, updates or removes items to match.
  • Photos from Google Drive links in imports and sheets.

Fixed

  • Some hosts’ malware scanners flagged smallpotato-api.php. It was a false alarm. Requests to other websites now live in a separate file, so the scanners no longer flag anything.
  • sp-post-gallery now works on an image too: the gallery takes the image’s place.
  • Images now load at the right size: no more shrunken post images or squeezed carousel slides.

Updating from 2.0

  1. Download SmallPotato CMS again from your Lemon Squeezy account. You need the new download to get the new SmallPotato-Notice Bric. Then install all nine 2.1.0 Brics.
  2. Right-click the Admin Bric, choose Reset Custom Bric → Resources, then click the Admin once (this adds the new http file).
  3. Run Reset Custom Bric → Template Values on one of each Bric type you use, then click it once.
  4. Export, upload, then click Make WebP versions under Media.

Your content, logins and settings stay as they are. The full details are in the User Manual.
