Blocky
The latest version of the CMS comes with an entirely updated Blocky editor.
Optimized performance
To meet the needs of creators working in fast-paced environments, release 3.8.0. comes with a complete overhaul of Blocky’s performance. Now, almost 20-times faster, Blocky allows creators to work on larger posts and manage blocks without sacrificing speed.
Interface redesign
We redesigned the entire Blocky interface to make the user experience more user-friendly and the look modern.
Quick copy/paste of blocks
Blocky’s latest version lets you select and copy/paste blocks at the bottom or top of the content you are working on.
Drag/drop paragraphs
The redesign of Blocky comes with a new and faster drag/drop reordering of blocks.
Now, to change the position of a block inside the body of your post, simply hold the top left corner and move the block.
Quick access to new blocks
To improve the speed of your work, we made adding blocks to the body of posts quicker. Now, under each block, you will find buttons for quick access to the most used blocks.
Uninterrupted writing inside Text blocks
Before, writing inside text blocks was often interrupted. The system couldn’t scan, recognize, and suggest sports entities under blocks without slightly disrupting/refreshing the writing process.
Now, with the optimized performance of Blocky, all this happens smoothly without any disturbance or lag time.
Updated widgets performance and look
The latest release introduces improvements to the way widgets look and perform.
Now, all widget blocks have a more compact look and:
- display the name of the widget
- offer preview
- can be copied and inserted into other posts with the help of a Copy embed code button.
Search
To be able to easily find what you are looking for is important. That’s why with this latest release we introduce several improvements to the way you search inside the CMS.
Advanced search filters inside content libraries
These advanced search filters let you perform a detailed search for posts inside Article, Video, Gallery, and Image libraries.
By using the advanced filters, you can search by tags, categories, football connections, and published dates.
Widget Page
A new feature, the Widget page is an integration developed particularly for bookmakers and their affiliate partner programs.
Now, bookmakers can give their affiliate partners access only to the Widget page, so they can configure and embed widgets in their content.
