New template filters

August 22nd, 2025 | Changelog

This release added several new features, including the strip_leading_date and substring filters for template strings, the Do not grant new permissions on Site branch checkbox for Projects, and support for the style option on Snippets using the argument parser.

Features & Improvements#

  • Added the strip_leading_date and substring filters for template strings.
    • The strip_leading_date filter removes three numbers up to four characters long and separated by hyphens, underscores, or commas from the front of a string (e.g., 03-07-1999, 2022_31_12, 18,04,1700, etc.).
    • The substring filter allows you to specify a start and end character from a string to use (e.g., [slug|substring=5,9]). If no end character is specified, the substring will include all characters until the end of the string.
  • Added the Do not grant new permissions on Site branch checkbox to the Branch defaults section of the Project Settings page. This checkbox prevents CloudCannon from adding extra permissions (e.g., site:publish:merge:write) to a Custom Permission Group when you create a branched Site.
  • Snippet parameters using the argument parser now support the style option.
  • The Publish pull request button on the Publishing page is now in a disabled state if you do not have permission to publish.
  • Minor UI improvements for URL inputs linking to telephone numbers.
  • Moved the main role questionnaire during sign-up to the account details screen.
