TOWeb 15.0.2

October 30, 2026

Improvements

  • Links: “Choose the destination” now has a “Collection” tab, to send a card, a button or a text to a shop collection. The link follows the collection if its address changes, in every language.
  • SEO: “Block AI crawlers” becomes “Block AI training”. AI answer engines, which cite your site (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude), remain allowed; a new expert setting also blocks them (Settings › Advanced). A site that blocked everything still does.
  • Footer: write {year} in the copyright (for example “© 2019-{year} My workshop”) to show the current year, updated at each publication.
  • Bookings: new “Check-in days” and “Check-out days” settings for a stay, for example a holiday home let from Saturday to Saturday. The calendar greys out the other days and shows the possible days.
  • Forms: new “Email subject” setting, specific to each form, to sort the messages you receive at a glance (“Quote”, “Registration”…). It is used when the visitor has not typed a subject.
  • Forms: a checkbox label can link to a document, for example “I accept the terms and conditions”. It opens in a new tab, without losing the form being filled in.
  • Languages: a site in Greek or Hebrew keeps its fonts offline, when the chosen font includes these alphabets. Before, the text showed in the system font.

Fixes

  • Published site: a title with rotating words is no longer cut off (“LO…”) when its section appears with a zoom effect. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Shop: a product that cannot be deleted (file locked by an antivirus or folder sync, on Windows) now says so, instead of staying listed without a word.
  • AI assistant (MCP): a menu or footer link to a section (#services) works from every page, a list label (“Won”, “Full”) gets translated, a table column can be removed, and the assistant knows the style’s real fonts and those that cover the site’s languages. It is warned about an ignored setting instead of losing it silently.
  • Blocks: a numbered list with no number typed numbers itself, the “Popular” label no longer covers the name of a plan without a card, team portraits keep their shape whatever size is chosen, and an image can use the 4:5 format. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Published site: when the visitor has “reduce motion” turned on, a title with rotating words no longer has a gap. The CONFETTI style keeps its accent words readable on a photo. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Bookings by the night: once the arrival is chosen, departure days that break the minimum or maximum stay are greyed out, and the help below the calendar states these limits. Unavailable days are paler, so they stand apart from free days at a glance. Republish the site to benefit.
  • AI assistant (MCP): it sets the address that receives bookings and their time zone, and reads the time zone actually published. It reuses the empty home page of a new site instead of creating a second one, and the page it creates comes back with its description.
  • AI assistant (MCP): without a licence entered on the computer, the assistant refused to start even with “Allow AI assistants” turned on. Its error message also gives the right settings path.
  • Preview: a page that is deleted, created, duplicated or removed from the menu now shows there at once, menu included. Restarting TOWeb was sometimes needed.
  • Bookings: a Booking block whose resource was deleted now says so in its panel, and takes the remaining resource automatically if there is only one. It no longer showed on the site, without explanation.
  • Custom code: a browser bar colour (theme-color) set in the header code is no longer replaced by the style’s colour. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Published site: the header and footer no longer show a link cursor over their whole area, and their text (address, phone) can be selected and copied. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Importing a TOWeb 5 to 14 site: a catalogue placed in a drop-down menu with pages keeps its place, without a duplicate “Shop” entry or an extra collection named after the drop-down.
  • Menu: a collection removed under “Shop” no longer comes back on its own.
  • Published site: a section background image is now sent as WebP, at a suitable size, instead of the original file. It is much lighter, and the page displays faster, especially on phones. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Forms: the address chosen in a form’s “Recipient email” now receives its messages. They all went to the general i-Services address. When importing a TOWeb 5 to 14 site, each form keeps its own address. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Languages: with two or three languages, the “Show a flag next to each language” setting now also shows the flags in the header on desktop. They only appeared on phones. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Published site: with the WebLegal cookie banner, a page displays faster when the custom code contains only text, HTML or styles. The banner now only waits for a script pasted into the page. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Team block: on a card, the name, role and bio areas now say what to type there in TOWeb’s language. They showed “Name”, “Role” and “Bio” in English.
  • Forms: a message sent without the visitor’s email address now also reaches the recipient. Some mail services rejected it without warning, even though the site reported it as sent. Republish the site to benefit.

TOWeb 15.0.1

28 October 2026

Improvements

  • Footer: new “Social media” column type, which shows your icons without the newsletter sign-up form.
  • Release notes: each line’s topic is in bold, and beta versions are folded under “Beta versions”, so the list reads at a glance.
  • Published site, on phones: the main page heading (H1) and the display headings of hero sections are smaller. In most styles a long heading spread over five or six lines; on computers nothing changes, and the “Heading size” setting still applies. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Scroll story, on phones: each step shows its image in full, in its own format. It was cropped to 4:3, so a screenshot lost its sides and a portrait photo half of itself. On computers nothing changes. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Checkout: an “Edit order” link next to the summary takes the buyer back to the shop to add a forgotten product. The cart is kept. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Scroll story: new “Framing” setting. On computers, “Fill” covers the whole stage, as before, and “Whole image” shows the image uncropped, whatever its shape. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Languages: Greek joins the site’s translation languages, with its automatic texts (cart, checkout, forms, booking), the online management area, the e-mails to customers and the official EU legal guarantee notice.

Fixes

  • Drop cap: in a dark section, the drop cap takes the colour the style intends for dark backgrounds. In several styles it kept the light-background colour and became unreadable. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Text: a line left empty between two paragraphs, in a page, a post or a product description, now also appears on the published site. It was only visible in the editor. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Page opening: below the menu, the first section no longer takes the full space that separates two sections; it keeps half of it, and the page starts higher. A colour or image band keeps its margin. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Importing a TOWeb 5 to 14 site: a link that opened in a new tab still does. It used to open in the same tab.
  • Import of a TOWeb 5 to 14 site: on phones, a list of item pages shows one item per row. From four items on, it showed two side by side, too narrow to read.
  • Support: a site too large to attach is reported before the request is sent. The request went out announcing a backup that the server then refused, and support received nothing.
  • AI assistant (MCP): the sites it builds look less alike. It picks the style from the brand’s character, among all TOWeb styles, applies the brand colour and dark mode when they suit it, and varies section effects, including parallax photo bands.
  • AI assistant (MCP): a site is built with fewer touch-ups. Stock photos arrive in large size, a text placed in a column is no longer empty, the review no longer asks for a rebuild right after the build, and an overnight booking opens every day of the week.
  • AI assistant (MCP): four new demo sites, built end to end by an AI assistant through the TOWeb MCP server, each in its own style: a violin maker (demo.lauyan.com/ai/vasseur-luthier), a potter (demo.lauyan.com/ai/hanna-brandt-ceramics), a cabinetmaker (demo.lauyan.com/ai/le-fil-du-bois) and a leather workshop (demo.lauyan.com/ai/bottega-sella).
  • Forms: on the published site, the label of a checkbox or a radio button shows a normal cursor. It showed the “not allowed” cursor, as if the field were disabled.
  • Announcement bar: on hover, the link keeps the bar’s text colour. In several styles it took the background colour and became invisible. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Images: on a site with several thousand images, on Windows, the most recently added ones could be missing from the published site, for example a carousel showing only its arrows. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Forms: with some styles, including REVUE, the “Send” button and the file-picking button have their border again. They were showing as plain text.
  • Preview: a change of style, dark mode, languages or cookie banner shows up at once in the preview. The preview kept the settings of its first display until the site was reopened, and could show a light site when the site was set to dark.
  • Gallery: the chosen format (for example “1:1”, square) is respected on the published site. On publishing, each photo went back to its original shape, and only the preview showed the chosen format. The same applies to cards and product pages. At the next publication, photos are therefore cropped as in the preview; choose “Auto” to keep their original shape.
  • Section with a white-veiled background image: in dark mode, the text turns dark and is readable again. It stayed white on the white veil, with no setting to fix it (often after importing a TOWeb 14 site). Republish the site to benefit.

TOWeb 15.0.0

27 October 2026

The first final version of TOWeb 15. It includes everything the October beta versions brought (see the beta versions), plus the following:

New

  • Shop: the file sold with a digital product is chosen in its product page, with “Choose file…” next to “Delivered file”. TOWeb keeps it with the site and sends it when you publish, to a protected folder on your hosting: no more uploading it yourself by FTP. Republish the site to benefit.

Improvements

  • Published site, on phones: the light or dark mode choice moves into the menu, as a “Dark mode” switch next to the languages. The header keeps its room for frequent actions; on computers, nothing changes. Republish the site to benefit.
  • PayPal payments: the help for the “Webhook ID” field also mentions the Sandbox tab, for test mode, and the events to tick in PayPal.
  • Visibility in AI assistants: the llms.txt file becomes a short index, as the standard intends: all your pages, your most important products and documentation, your ten latest posts, and the home page of each other language. The full text stays in llms-full.txt. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Blog: a FAQ block in a post is now read by Google and AI assistants, as on a page (FAQ structured data). Republish the site to benefit.
  • AI assistant (MCP): it changes a single FAQ question, a single pricing plan or a single table cell without resending everything, removes a whole section in one step, and a section copied to another page keeps its anchor.
  • SEO: “Introduction for AI assistants” (Settings › SEO & Indexation, under “Present the site to AI assistants (llms.txt)”): free text published at the top of the llms.txt file, to tell ChatGPT, Claude or Perplexity what you offer, your prices and what sets you apart. Republish the site to benefit.

Fixes

  • File links: a link in text now opens the file in a new tab, like a button: a PDF is shown in the browser without leaving the site. The “File” destination also shows the name of the chosen file. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Gallery: each image has its own “Change image” button, which keeps its alt text, caption and link. The images of a gallery coming from a generated page or a template stayed grey placeholders, with no way to replace them.
  • Publish: the image of a blog post or a product is no longer published twice. Its original file went to your web host next to its resized versions, although no page used it. Republish the site to benefit.
  • PayPal payment: PayPal’s notifications (payment confirmed, refund) are accepted by the site. Their verification failed, and PayPal showed them as “Failure”.
  • PayPal payment: a refund made in PayPal now marks the order “refunded” in the online management area. PayPal’s notification did not find the order, which stayed “paid”. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Pasting from Word for the web: a bulleted or numbered list arrives as a single list. Each item became a separate list, with a large gap between lines.
  • PayPal payment: an order whose payment stays “pending” at PayPal (for example a seller account that does not hold the currency) is no longer marked paid when the customer returns. It becomes paid when PayPal confirms the payment. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Scroll story: the image always follows the step being read, also when scrolling back up or scrolling fast. It sometimes stayed on another step’s image. Republish the site to benefit.
  • Publish: the warning about interactive elements that will not work gives the right path to enable the missing module, Settings › i-Services.
  • Publish › Site optimizer: the note about a missing RSS feed no longer appears for a blog with no published post (there is nothing to announce), and its fix button leads to the “Site URL” field.
  • AI assistant (MCP): a table written in Markdown in a post or a page becomes a real table. It used to disappear silently.
  • Editor: “/” then a block (CTA Button, FAQ, Gallery…) typed on an empty line in the middle of a section puts the block on that line. It used to land in a new section after it, often at the very bottom of the page.
  • Sections: under a Hero set to “Background image”, the headings and text that follow it in the same section follow the section’s “Container width” again (Wide, Full width). They kept the site width, and a long heading wrapped onto a second line. Republish the site to benefit.
  • AI assistant (MCP): changing one site variable keeps the others. They were all replaced by the one sent, and the site would have shown their names instead of their values.
  • Footer: the “Newsletter” block really subscribes the visitor. It did nothing: the address entered was sent nowhere. It now goes through the site’s subscription service, like the Newsletter block on pages: confirmation by email, proof of consent, subscribers visible in the online management area. The “Newsletter” service must be enabled in the site’s i-Services. Republish the site to benefit.
