What's new in Labrador CMS this month?

Here are a couple of highlights from the newest update of Labrador CMS

Add hover effects to article teasers

You can now add different effects and filter to your article teasers

You can now add hover effects to images in article teasers. The effect triggers when a user hovers their cursor over the article. 

Select between image scale up effects or add greyscale, dark or light filters. You will find the hover options in the article teaser menu for media options. 

Use RSS-feeds on your front pages

You can now add external RSS feeds to Labrador. These feeds can be used to add external content to your front page as article teasers with images, title and subtitles. 

All you need is the RSS feed URL. You can then use it to create a feed in Admin > Feeds.  Just add the URL and set the format to RSS/Atom. The feed you set up can now be used as an automatic article on your front page. 

Please note that the rights to images provided in RSS feeds might be restricted. Make sure to familiarize yourself with the guidelines for the RSS feed you are using. Remember that you can always choose to hide the media element for the automated article if you are unsure.
