Centralpoint Update 8.0.27


Date of Update: Monday, December 28, 2009  
  • When installing update version 8.0.28 the installation process will begin using a case insensitive file cleanup process. This will prevent accidental file deletions caused by files or directories with the same name but different casing on different servers.
  • Master > Deployment > Web Sites has been updated to treat new site creation from a backup file like a restore instead of a new site. Previously, this feature copied its properties and configuration from the parent site. It also deleted reporting information like leads, searches, etc. after the site was created. Now when you create a new site from a backup the properties, configuration, leads, searches, etc. are all stored in the backup and moved to the new site. This will allow us to use this tool to move sites to new servers or rebuild an existing server without property or reporting information loss.
  • Automated (scheduled) web site and master backups now detect the number of hours since the last backup and do not execute more than once every 4 hours. This was implemented to permit the scheduler to pick up where it left off if it terminates early instead of starting over at the beginning.
  • A new web method has been added to the client console called UpsertDraft which will allow us to create document drafts from the front end of the web site, including forms management.
  • A new system attribute called “Allow Comments” has been added to all modules and hidden by default. It can be displayed using the Hidden Attributes and Defaults module configurations. It will be used to prevent end users commenting on specific documents from the front end of the site. If you are already using a custom module configuration in any module you may want to manually add “AllowComments” to the Hidden Attributes and Defaults. When creating new modules this attribute will be automatically added and hidden, but you may also want to hide it manually if you have any existing My Module or CMS Navigation Items.
  • A bug in the RTF Editor that caused images to display improperly in the master console has been repaired.
  • List box style controls have been updated to have the same bottom margin as other controls in the client console form views.
  • It was discovered recently that the “Created Or Updated” event type had no system name in client sites. This caused these events to be recorded as “Unknown”. This problem was most likely a result of the previously manual database update process and has been repaired.
  • Forms management has been updated to support multiple forms on the same page. When using multiple forms on the same page the forms must contain unique group parameter values. This change also included updates to the CAPTCHA control and the Survey Manager script.
  • The Survey Manager has been updated so that the survey will submit when a user presses the enter key while focus is on one of the survey controls.
  • A new application called Sync Invoked Method has been added to Development > Utilities which will allow us to execute custom sync invoked methods on client servers. This will be helpful when problems arise and should only be used by Oxcyon developers.
  • A new module suite called Comments has been released. The modules in this suite will not be enabled in any site until they are selected in the related master. This module suite is designed to track comments in all modules using the “All Modules” module and configure the front end script used to display and collect comments using the “Configuration” module. The help file for these modules outlines their use in more detail.
  • A new script called Comments has been developed to collect comments on data documents in any standard module. This script is designed to work on the Site Architecture > Module Designer > Details View (#3) and has been added to the Module Designer help file.
  • An RSS feed is now available at http://www.yoururlhere.com/Modules/Comments/Rss.aspx that returns comments from all modules. This feed is outlined in the Comments help file and can be used in conjunction with the Design > Dynamic Feeds module.
