Glide Panel Magic v1.7.5 feature update

Updates GPM to fix bugs in Apple Leopard that cause Apple systems to falsely report that interface input fields are empty. Also Includes the optional Interactive Sidebar Content Switcher from the previous 1.7.4 update.

Interactive Sidebar Content Switcher

This feature provides a built-in mechanism to display current panel-related content in the sidebar, directly underneath the trigger links. This content is dynamically displayed depending on the current active panel. You can easily manage the Sidebar Content Switcher for each panel directly in Dreamweaver Design View giving you full control over the sidebar content. The Sidebar Content for each panel is visible in browsers that do not support JavaScript and is fully search engine accessible.

Important...

This Update requires that a full Glide Panel Magic version (1.6.8 - 1.7.4) is already installed on your computer. It will not work otherwise.

Do you need the update?

You only need to update If your current Glide Panel Magic version is less than 1.7.5. To be certain, open Extension Manager and check your version number. If your current version is less than 1.7.5, you need to download the 1.7.5 Update

Tip: Save the downloaded update file to the same location that contains your original Glide Panel Magic extension file. Should you ever need to re-install, install the original version first, then the update.

Installation

  1. Double-click the downloaded MXP update file: P7_GPM_upd175.mxp
  2. When prompted to overwrite existing files, choose Yes To All
  3. Restart Dreamweaver to complete the update process

DO NOT Uninstall your current version. This is an update and requires that a full version is already installed on your system for a proper update. After installing the update, Extension Manager will list both the orginal (full) version and the update version.

To use the new Interactive Sidebar Content feature

Open the Glide Panel Magic interface and check the Use Interactive Sidebar Content Switcher option. You can set the option independently for any GPM component on your page. The system will create a new DIV at the bottom of each content DIV with the placeholder text: sidebar content placeholder for this panel. You can add any type of content you want inside. When your page is running in a browser, the contents of your placeholder DIV(s) will be moved to the sidebar DIV just below your trigger links.

Will the new feature work on existing GPM pages?

Yes, you simply need to turn on the option and update the GPM script file:

  • Open a page that contains a Glide Panel widget you want to update
  • Locate the GPM script file, p7GPscripts.js, in the p7gp folder inside the same folder that contains your page and delete it. Click Yes at the Dreamweaver warning.
  • Go back to your page and place your cursor anywhere inside your Glide Panel and open the GPM interface as if you were going to edit it.
  • Make sure the Use Interactive Sidebar Content Switcher option is checked
  • Click OK

The system will generate a new script file and your new feature will work.

Don't forget to re-upload the p7gp folder to your web server.

Can I change the sidebar style?

Yes. In your CSS file, locate the CSS rule named .p7GP01 .sidecontent and edit it to your liking.
