Week 1 update of Morph second beta
It’s been another super productive week of bug-fixing, general refinements and even a couple new features added to Morph.
We have received some awesome feedback and have already covered most of the points that have been raised on the beta testing forum. Here is an update of what has been done this week:
Configurator component updated to version 0.08
- Fixed the logo text option which was not being displayed with the linked h1 text logo type.
- Fixed the backgrounds and logo assets which did not show uploaded files unless there were two images or more.
- Fixed the blank row in background config tab even though files are visible.
- Fixed the colorpicker not showing selected colour on reload.
- Fixed the scrollbars which were not showing.
- Rounded corners amount option is now hidden unless the feature is enabled.
- Changed the logo & tagline text size to drop down instead of text input.
- Added option to auto detect logo dimensions or set them manually.
- Fixed the issue where the logo, background and assets weren’t being updated after being uploaded.
- Fixed gzip auto detect function.

Morph template updated to version 0.09
- New module chrome for accordions (any module position can now be an accordion).
- New module heading options for pretext, subtext, and two tone.
- Fixed getimagesize() now uses Absolute Path and not Absolute URL (will prevent allow_include_url to be set to Off).
- Fixed some javascript conflicts by adding noConflict mode to morph.
- Duplicate jQuery.ui.core now will only call once, if either options are enabled.
- Made the “scroll to top” feature configurable.
- Fixed the splitleft & splitright positions.
- Added support for up to 5 modules in both grid module chromes (was 3).
- Fixed the image path when css packing was off.
- Fixed various logo options, though they are not perfect yet. Will try get them 100% in the next release.
- The duplicate tagline on the inline image logo option.
- Removed the fancy captions option until its fully working.
- Set the custom.css as the last item being packed (for specificity reasons).

- Basic version of the Morph documentation site (should be up next week).
- A number of different themelet concepts, as well as converting some of our older templates.
- More module chrome options.
- ModuleFX Packs.
That’s a wrap for this week! We’ll post another update next week!

Great job =)
Thanks Rob!! Hope you enjoy the new versions :)
wow. thats a huge list. nice work to everybody.
Thanks Matt ;) You know that’s how we roll :P
Starting to have trouble resisting launching some sites using Morph… Do I really have to wait for code freeze? teehee
We’re releasing a new update today, which will brings us that much closer. Just one more “structural” update that needs to be done, then the rest is just tweaking and fine tuning ;)
I guess it depends a lot on the complexity of the site, as that will determine how much work is involved upgrading. One of the next things we’re going to be focusing on is getting the upgrade process nice and smooth.
Stay tuned :P
