Razuna 1.5.5 on custom fields and indexing the complete folder path

Fresh out of the upcoming Razuna 1.5.5 coding room here are two features that many have asked for. (btw: Razuna 1.5.5 will bring over 200 enhancements)

Enhancements to the custom fields

We have gone into the usability of custom fields in the past and as our customers use custom fields to deploy their projects, we are happy to bring two new features to custom fields. One is the option to order the custom fields (yeah, hard to believe that we did not have this before) and additionally to secure the editing of a custom field by a group and user (in order to make sure that only certain people can edit those field values that you hold so dear).

Furthermore, there will be a new custom field type giving you an automated year and month selection list.

Search folder path

With Razuna 1.5.5 the complete folder path the file resides in is also being indexed. This will allow you to actually search for assets in particular folders (apart from just in one folder). In other words, you will be able to search for files with “Marketing/January/2013″ and it will find all files within.

Razuna 1.5.5 is the most anticipated release bringing many new features like the new Plugin-System, along with the workflow engine, new features for custom fields, enhancements in many parts and overall over 200 major changes. Razuna is currently being deployed by over 2000 customers and is being integrated by many leading Software companies worldwide. The final release of Razuna 1.5.5 is being expected in the coming 8 weeks, with a first Release Candidate in the next 4 weeks.

Razuna and MySQL 5.6.x

Just a short head up that the recent MySQL 5.6.x releases do not seam to be compatible with the initial setup script of Razuna.

We are not sure why this is so, as there has been no changes to the scripts in any way. Problem is that the indexes are all of the sudden shortened in the MySQL 5.6.x releases, meaning they can not hold large columns.

For now, we recommend to install or stay on the MySQL 5.5.x releases.

Razuna: You can now watermark images

Here is another exciting new feature that many customers have asked for — the option to watermark images!

Available in the upcoming Razuna 1.5.5 release and on the hosted platform immediately you can configure watermark templates which you then can apply to renditions and to the rendition templates as well. In other words, you can stamp each image, according to size or format, with another watermark.

A watermark can both exist of an image or a text. Additionally, you can configure to align the watermark wherever you want on the image. Furthermore, transparency,  type of font and size and color can be chosen as well.

Watermark images in Razuna

The option to watermark images is just one of the many new exciting features coming to Razuna 1.5.5. Stay tuned for more updates soon.
