I’m almost finished Magazine Premium and I thought it would be a good idea to open up a discussion to see what features people would like to see available. Now don’t go crazy, and please don’t repeat the same requests. I’ll take the top 5 best requests (that aren’t a part of the theme already) and I’ll add them to Magazine Premium. I’ll also give a free copy to those who suggested the top 5.
Add your suggestions in the comments below. If someone already suggested a feature you wanted, don’t fret, just think of something else you might want to see in Magazine Premium.
Here is a quick list of features that I have already added:
- widgetized footer bar
- custom footer text
- optional “Powered by WordPress” link
- checkboxes for cats and pages to include in nav menu
- optional secondary nav menu
- optional search bar or home link in main nav menu
- 4 front page section with selectable category feed
- variable site and sidebar width
- featured slideshow with selectable category feed
- optional images for each front page section
- font selection
- color selection
- sidebar ads widget
- sidebar tabs widget (recent comments, popular posts and subscribe)
- simple mailing list/subscribe to our mailing list function
- custom CSS editor
- full width page template (no sidebars)
- new single page options panel with Ajax save function (no more page reloading to save)
- drop-down login panel
Here is sample of the new design layout:
It still has a little ways to go so don’t be too judgmental.
WINNER #1: Matt – a more elaborate author page
WINNER #2: tinym – presets and @font-face kits
WINNER #3: Marcus – more control of the Read More link
WINNER #4: Boris – choose the post’s thumbnail image
WINNER #5: Scott – easily add links to the nav and sub-nav menus
