  1. Currently, when you crop an image in File Manager and confirm the crop, there is no way to undo it.

    This can be frustrating if an image is cropped incorrectly or accidentally.

    Adding an 'Undo Crop' option would provide users with more flexibility and prevent the need to re-upload the original image, improving workflow efficiency and user experience.

  2. It would be useful to have the option to type in the old URL of a page in the 'Customer Fields' section of the page settings.

    This would allow users to set up automatic 301 redirects from the old URL to the new one without needing manual intervention from the support team.

    Currently, when we change a Friendly URL, users who visit the old URL encounter a 404 error unless a manual redirect is set up.

    By adding a field for the old URL in the page settings, the system could automatically handle redirects, ensuring a smoother user experience and…

  3. To have the ability to have separate pages syncing separate outlook calendars. Not all staff have the same access and permissions to all the public calendars, which we would like to share on our website.
    So it would be useful if we can sync more than one across the website rather than just having categories.

  4. Some users want to keep their original page, such as www.schoolname.co.uk/Information/Prospectus, but also create a simpler, dedicated URL like www.schoolname.co.uk/Prospectus for promotional or advertising purposes.

    If they create two separate pages, they can have two separate URLs with different friendly names, but this would require them to manually update both pages whenever content needs changing.

    They want to keep both the original page and the promotional URL active, so that any updates made to the original page are automatically reflected on the simpler, promotional URL as well, without needing a redirect.

    Although setting up a redirect from www.schoolname.co.uk/Prospectus to …

  5. Currently, adding a subscribe button to a calendar requires manual input by the support team, as it's done directly within the code. Since this is provided free of charge (FOC), it might be more efficient to give users the ability to enable this option themselves.

    A possible solution could be adding a toggle under the 'EDIT' menu for calendars, allowing users to activate the subscribe button easily.

    To implement this, the following code would need to be added to the page.setup.asp folder:

    Mason.Site.setConf "calendar_ics", True

  6. The ability to replace any files in File Manager with an updated version that will automatically sync to all occurrences of the file across the site.

    Many school policy documents need to appear in multiple locations for both user access and regulation/compliance - for example the Admissions Policy which would likely be on an Admissions and Key Documents pages. Rather than search for and delete every occurrence, it would be easier to have one file in File Manager which can be linked from multiple pages and auto-synced when it's updated. Many CMS platforms offer this as standard.

  7. In the Parents’ Evening Booking add-on, it would be beneficial to have an option to set a specific break time for all teachers at once, rather than manually adding breaks for each teacher.

    This would streamline the process when all teachers take a break at the same time, saving time and effort.

    However, it’s still useful to retain the ability to manually add breaks for teachers who require different or multiple break times.

  8. It would be great to have the ability to display a photo album as a photo stack. It could add visual interest and some dimension to the pages. Maybe it would also be possible to use such a feature when adding news stories so that a number of photos from an event, for example, could be displayed alongside the story.

  9. Currently when a user uploads a thumbnail image for a News article, the crop icon will appear as soon at the image is uploaded.

    However, it is not clear to the user that they are to then click on this icon and set the crop for each of the different sections: Main, List, Home & Square.

    It would better if when you upload the Thumbnail image you are prompted to go through the crop options for each of these sections before they continue with editing the article.

    Additionally, when you save the article the image cropper icon will disappear, so…

  10. After we enable the calendar sync for the user, they follow the setup guide to integrate their external Outlook or Google calendar with their website calendar.

    Currently, users must contact the support team to enable automatic sync.

    Without this, users need to manually sync their calendars by navigating to WEBSITE > Calendar Sync > Synchronise now each time they create a new event in their external calendar, which undermines the purpose of having calendar sync enabled in the first place.

    It would be beneficial if the CMS allowed administrators to enable automatic sync directly, removing the need to contact support.

  11. Currently, the published date for news articles appears on the News Category page (typically titled 'Latest news'), where an overview of all articles is displayed.

    However, once users click into an individual article via the 'Read More' link, the date is not shown within the article itself.

    Adding the published date at the top of each article perhaps just below the heading would make it clear when the information was posted.

    This would be especially helpful if older articles appear in search engine results, as users could quickly assess whether the content is outdated.

    The same improvement could be applied…

  12. Users would benefit from the ability to edit the logo on their website themselves, removing the need to contact us for updates.

    A clickable image icon when logged in could open the File Manager, allowing them to select and update their logo easily.

  14. When you upload a file and it is too large, you see a message stating "file size error", it would be handy for users to know what the maximum file size is so they can resize/compress accordingly.

  15. It would be useful to provide users with the option to add Alt tags to button links that are inserted into a page from the Templates menu, as the button title alone may not always give enough context about its function.

    This is especially important for buttons that contain vague text.

    Adding Alt tags would improve accessibility by ensuring screen readers can convey clearer information about what will happen when the button is selected.

  17. Hi,
    It would be good to be able to see changes that a user has made when they send a page for approval to be published.
    At present if I view a page that is pending approval, I cannot see what changes were made. Thanks, James

  19. When a user submits a page/item for review, the reviewer receives an email notification.

    However, the email currently lacks a direct link to the page, only providing the login link.

    This means the reviewer must log in, navigate to Home > My Tasks, select the page, and click 'Review'.

    It would be useful to also include a direct link to the page in the email so that if the reviewer is already logged in, they can access it immediately and begin reviewing without additional steps.

  20. It would be useful if administrators had the ability to delete calendar categories, similar to superusers.

    Currently, only superusers can delete categories, even though administrators can see the delete option.

    Allowing administrators to delete categories that do not contain any events would save them from having to contact support for help.

    Additionally, when a superuser tries to delete a category that has events, a notification pops up saying the category cannot be removed.

    It would be helpful if within this notification it allowed both superusers and administrators to see which events are in the category and move them to another…
