What is new in WYSIWYG Web Builder 19?

Artificial Intelligence
- New feature: Improve your online presence easily with the help of WYSIWYG Web Builder's AI-powered tools. Make your website content better, reach a global audience by translating it, create eye-catching visuals to impress your visitors, and generate custom code for your web projects with ease. WYSIWYG Web Builder AI combines all these important features in one place, giving you a complete platform to take your web design projects to new levels.

Text Generation and Enhancement: Create text, headings, articles, and more by entering custom prompts or choosing predefined ones. You have the flexibility to modify text length, tone (casual, professional, confident, friendly), grammar, and overall style to suit your needs. Prompts can be modified via the Prompt Manager.

Multilingual Translation: Translate text into over 25 languages, such as English, Spanish, French, German, and Italian, making it a valuable resource for communication across language barriers.

Image Generation and Manipulation: Generate new images based on text input, create variations of existing images, and enhance images using in-painting techniques. You can specify desired changes, such as adding objects, replacing screen content, or altering hairstyles. Anything of which you can think!

Image Expansion: Expand images beyond their original borders by providing descriptions of the desired changes. Also known as out-painting. The zoom slider allows you to adjust the frame size according to your preferences.

Custom Code Writing: For web development and coding tasks, you can utilize AI functionality within HTML objects, Object HTML, and Page HTML. This includes adding scripts, HTML, CSS, PHP, and more, making it a useful tool for developers.


NOTE:
The AI tools in WYSIWYG Web Builder are implemented using the third-party OpenAI API (ChatGPT, DALL-E).
You will need an OpenAI API key in order to use this functionality. If you do not already have an OpenAI account then you can create it here: https://platform.openai.com/signup

You can create an OpenAI API key for free. New users get free $5 worth of free tokens. These tokens expire after 3 months.
After the quota has passed you can choose to enter billing information to upgrade to a paid plan and continue your use of the API on pay-as-you-go basis.

The API key can be entered in Tools -> Options -> Artificial Intelligence

Translate Text
- New feature: This is part of the new AI tools, but also available as separate tool. Translate selected objects or create a translated copy of the whole page!

Remove background with AI
- New feature: Added AI powered background removal functionality for images.
This feature automatically detects a person or object in an image and replaces the background with a transparent one. Unlike traditional background removal methods, this tool works 100% automatically. You don't have to manually select the background/foreground layers to separate them - just click 'Remove Background' and it instantly generate a new image with the background removed!

Website Wizard
- New feature: Added 'Website Wizard' to quickly create a new project. Select style, the pages you want to include and even (optionally) generate content with AI!

Badges
- New feature: Added 'Badge' object. A "badge" is a small graphic, text or symbol that can be used to add additional information to the web site elements. For example, showing if a product is available, promoting a discount, displaying a user's achievements, or indicating how popular a product is. A Badge can be applied to almost any WWB object.
The Badge object has 8 different types: Arrow, Bookmark, Bootstrap-like badge, Flag, Stripe, Triangle, Ribbon and Shape (with more than 200 shape types). Badges can include both text and icons, and they can also incorporate animations to capture the visitor's attention.

Theme Manager
- New feature: Theme Manager has been 'resurrected'. WWB has supported themes for a long time, however previously they were only useful for jQuery UI widgets.
The Theme Manager has been updated to support almost all objects. Unlike jQuery UI widgets which require a pretty large CSS set. The new themes only have a small footprint.
- New feature: Added 25 new themes inspired by Boot Swatch. Each of the new themes also has a dark theme variation, which allows the visitors of the website to choose between a light and dark theme. Just like you can with styles.
- New feature: Added 'Invert colors' button to invert all colors of the current theme. This may be useful if you want to quickly create a dark variant of the theme.
- New feature: Added Theme gallery to page menu.
- Improved: Added dark variants of the following themes: blitzer, cupertino, eggplant, excite-bike, flick, hot-sneaks, humanity, overcast, pepper-grinder, redmond, smoothness, south-street, start, sunny, ui-lightness, vader.
- Improved: Theme Manager dialogs are now resizable.
- Improved: Double clicking the theme name will open the properties for that theme.
- Improved: Property list now also uses 'Office look' (when enabled in UI options).
- Improved: Theme selector now also includes the name (in addition to the preview image) and the themes are sorted by name.

Card
- New feature: Added support for Affix to keep the card visible while scrolling.
- New feature: Added ecommerce functionality to cards. Via the new 'ecommerce' item you can add checkboxes, radio buttons, select /dropdown lists, price and quantity fields to the card. These items can then be used to adjust the price. For example, the size of a t-shirt, gift wrapping, glossy printing paper etc.
Extra options can increase or decrease the final price. Calculations are done automatically so there is no need to implement events or conditions!
Available options: checkbox, radio buttons, select / dropdown, price field, quantity field
- New feature: Added support for shapes in Cards.
- New feature: Added ‘Minimum height’ property for Text items. When working with text in cards, variations in text length often result in varying text heights, creating challenges when aligning other elements within the card, such as buttons placed at the bottom. To address this, you can now set a minimum height, ensuring consistent and predictable text heights for improved alignment.
- New feature: Added the ability assign a link to Card text items.
- New feature: Added support for events to Card text items.
- Improved: Define the 'minimum height' directly within the card's properties, eliminating the need to configure it through the flex properties as was required before.
This specifies the minimum height for the card when it is utilized within layout grids. This feature may be useful to ensure consistent card heights across multiple cards with varying content.

Section
- New feature: Added the ability to add links to text and shapes.
- New feature: Added ecommerce functionality (see card for more details).

Card Repeater
- New feature: Added 'Card Repeater' object. A Card Repeater operates similarly to a Card Container, with a key distinction: all cards within it share the same layout and style. This means that any modification made to one card will automatically propagate to all other cards within the same container. Of course, the text can be different for each card!

Card Container
- New feature: Cards that are inside a Card container now have a 'clone' button. So, you can easily duplicate the selected card.
- New feature: Added support for HTML5 semantic tags.

Google Fonts
- New feature: Added support for Variable fonts.
A variable font contains multiple variations of a typeface (such as weight, width, and slant) within a single file. This enables you to create a wide range of typographic styles and effects using just one font file, resulting in improved performance and more creative possibilities.
Variable fonts can have multiple axes of variation, which represent different attributes of the typeface. These axes can include weight (thin to bold), width (condensed to expanded), slant (italic to upright) and more. Each axis allows for a smooth transition between the extreme variations, giving you granular control over the visual appearance of text.

Notes: if you previously used Google Fonts and want to use the variable font version, then you will need to re-install the font via the font manager.
Not all Google Fonts support variations. In the Font Manager you can select to display variable fonts only. It is also possible to search for specific 'axes'. For example, if you type 'weight' or 'slant' in the search field then only fonts that support this functionality will be displayed.

Spellings Checker
- New feature: All input fields for text now have the ability to check the spelling via the context menu.

Timer
- New feature: Introducing the new 'Visits' type option. This feature enables you to trigger a timer after a specified number of visits, making it perfect for showcasing introductory dialogs or special offers to new visitors. By default, the timer activates only once, but you also have the option to use a negative number. In this scenario, the count resets after every 'X' visits, allowing for repeated activations as needed.
- New feature: Introducing the new 'Days' type option. You can now set up timers to activate after a specified number of days following the user's initial visit. By default, the timer activates only once, but you also have the option to use a negative number, which will restart the timer at regular intervals of 'x' days.
- New feature: Added 'Date Range' option. This feature allows you to activate a timer within a specific date range, making it perfect for showcasing special offers or managing your store's operations during holidays and other designated periods.
- New feature: Added 'Time Range' option. This feature enables you to set up timers for specific time ranges, making it perfect for delivering personalized welcome messages such as "Good morning" or "Good afternoon" at the right times of day.
Note: The state of these new features will be stored in local storage. If you want to reset the state while testing the website, you can access this via the browser's debugger console (Application -> Local Storage).

FTP Manager
- New feature: The FTP Manager has been redesigned. It now features a local and remote view, so you can easily copy files (and folders) between the server and your local drives, including drag & drop support. The local folder will be remembered for each publish profile.
- New feature: Both views use shell icons, instead of the generic icons like in previous versions.
- New feature: Added the ability to delete a folder and all its contents. Normally, it is not possible with FTP to delete a remote folder when it's not empty. But if you hold the SHIFT key while clicking the 'Delete' button then the FTP manager will recursively remove all files in the folder first.
- New feature: It is now also possible to upload and download entire folders (including sub folders).

Flex Grid
- New feature: Added 'Visual grid editor'. The visual flex grid editor provides a user-friendly interface for effortlessly arranging grid items in specific row or column structures.
You can easily add rows and columns using the '+' and '-' buttons located at the right and bottom of the grid, respectively.
When you hover over an item, controls appear, allowing you to manage its appearance within the grid.
Adding new grid items is as simple as clicking the '+' button, while existing items can be resized using arrow buttons.
Furthermore, removing an item is quick and convenient with the 'Delete' button.
- Improved: Added background, border and shadow properties to the Proeprty Inspector for quick access.

Panel Layer
- New feature: Added 'fixed' display mode to Panel Layer. In fixed mode, the panel layer will always be visible.

Sticky Layer
- New feature: Added 'z-index' property to Sticky Layer. This makes it possible to overwrite the automatically generated z-index. For example, if you want to show the sticky layer to be on top of everything else. Leave the field empty for the default behavior.

Note: at this moment most browsers do not support a border radius in combination with gradient borders.
- New feature: Added support 'Image' and 'Custom' border styles to Slide Show, Blog, Article, News Feed Ticker, Bullets, Carousel, Auto Complete, Site Search ....

Form
- New feature: Added Honeypot Anti-Spam option.
The anti-spam honeypot is a hidden form field that bots can’t avoid filling, but it’s invisible to human users. If the hidden field is filled in, it’s a sign of spambot activity and can be blocked. If the field is not filled in, it indicates that the form was filled by a human user as intended. The name of the Honeypot Anti-Spam field name can be set in Form Properties -> Advanced -> Miscellaneous.
Make sure the field name is not the same as one of your existing input fields.
We've also created a new 'anti-spam' tutorial that provides an overview of the anti-spam features available in WYSIWYG Web Builder: https://www.wysiwygwebbuilder.com/forms_antispam.html
- New feature: Added new site variable to set the honeypot error message: $FORMERROR_HONEYPOT$. Default value is Spam detected.

- New feature: Added "Include browser information in form data" option. This specifies whether to include the browser information in the form data. Previously this was always included and could not be turned off.
- Improved: The Mail Engine settings have been streamlined . The previously existing 'use PHP Mailer' option has been eliminated. Instead, you'll find a single dropdown menu. When you select 'default,' it will utilize PHP's built-in mail() function. Alternatively, you can choose the PHP Mailer option for other settings.

Form Wizard
- New feature: Form Wizard has undergone a makeover with the 'Aero' style. This not only gives the wizard a contemporary appearance but also allows for resizable windows, enhancing user experience.

File Upload
- New feature: Added 'Bootstrap' type. This will render the file input using Bootstrap styling (CSS only). Unlike the jQuery UI version which requires jаvascript.

Spinner
- New feature: Added 'Bootstrap Simplified' mode. This will render a simplified spinner without visible button borders, a frequently used component in eCommerce website design.

Login Tools
- New feature: Added 'Synchronize MySQL settings between login objects' option (Tools->Options->General). When this option is enabled, any updates made to MySQL properties will automatically apply to all login objects. Additionally, new login objects created in the project will inherit the same settings as existing objects. This eliminates the need to configure each object individually, streamlining the process and ensuring consistent settings across all login objects.

- New feature: Added 'jаvascript SDK' option as alternative for the Legacy Payment Button. This can be set via the 'PayPal API' property.
Notes: PayPal's jаvascript SDK does not provide 'Add to cart' and 'View Cart' functionality. it only supports 'Buy Now'. Alternatively, you can use the PayPal Shopping Cart object which has also been updated to support the jаvascript SDK.
Also, the subscription button needs to be setup in the PayPal account.

When using the 'jаvascript SDK', you will need to use the 'Client ID' instead of the PayPal email address! This can be set globally in Tools -> Options -> eCommerce.

PayPal Shopping Cart

Events
- New feature: Added "Print Document' and 'Print Element' actions.
Print Document prints the contents of the current window.
Print Element prints the contents of the specified object.
- New feature: Added the ability to select a target (ID) for the jаvascript action. This makes it possible to use the selected ID in the code. For example: alert('$ID$') will result in alert('wb_Heading1'). This means that you no longer have to use a hardcoded ID. If you change the ID of the object in the project, then the code will automatically be updated.
- New feature: Added ‘ondocumentready’ to object events. Previously, the 'ondocumentready' event was only accessible through Page events. But there may be situations where you prefer to associate the event directly with an object. This approach can facilitate actions such as seamless copying and pasting of objects with associated events across different pages, or preserving the object as an integral part of a block, which does not include page events.

Style Manager
- New feature: Added 'Font Variation’ properties. These properties are available for variable fonts only. Additionally, refer to the earlier section in this document for more information on variable fonts.

But you can also use it to extract text or translate the text from the image to a different language.
This feature can be useful for web design to create titles or detailed descriptions for SEO purposes. But you can also use it to create a text prompt from an image and use that to create a new image.

This option is available in Breadcrumb, CSS Menu, Dropdown Menu, Go Menu, Layer Menu, Mega Menu, Menu bar, Navigation Bar, Overlay Menu, Panel Menu, Pagination, Responsive Menu, Tab Menu, Text Menu

Site Manager
- New feature (experimental): It is now possible to specify an (optional) icon in the menu name property of page properties. This icon will be used when 'Synchronize with Site Manager' is enabled in navigation objects.
For example: Home^home or About^user, where the text after the caret symbol is the name of the icon. Note: the icon should be a valid name in the selected icon library!

Overlay Menu
- New feature: Added 'Popup position' property. When the overlay menu is in ‘popup mode’, this specifies the alignment of the popup menu.

Asset Manager
- New feature: Added the ability to rename files via the Asset Manager.

If the file is used by multiple objects or pages, then it will be automatically updated for all instances!
