Centralpoint Update 8.0.6


Date of Update: Friday, February 6, 2009  
  1. The Design / Mobile Navigation / Include DHTML Menu (Yes) / Menu Content attribute now supports CpScripting. This may be problematic because mobile navigation is a CpScript itself.
  2. All CpScript C# code dynamically generated by Structure / Modules and inserted into the dynamically generated ASPX pages have been redeveloped using a custom control to prevent the script from executing unless it is visible on the page.
  3. Historical versions of documents in the client console are no longer deleted after being restored. A restored version is now maintained as the current document and in its original place in the document history.
  4. The Design / Styles / Sub Nav font related attributes have been repaired. Be aware that the font related attributes don’t apply to the links in the sub nav. To control the font of the links you must use the link related attributes.
  5. The Advertising / Advertisers / Page Types attribute now has a new option: All Pages. This allows you to create an advertisement that will display on all pages within an audience/role. Note that you may also use the Navigation Specific page type to display an ad on the specified navigation items and/or home pages.
  6. Structure / Modules grid view now has a Display column for the Display Status of the record like standard modules.
  7. The Ad Banner Manager module suite has been completed. Since new modules are always sync’d as disabled, you will have to enable all of the modules in the suite using the Master console.
  8. The RTF editor has been updated to convert its content to XHTML during submission. After the sync all important content should be opened in the editor and resubmitted to allow the XHTML conversion. This is particularly important for QC sites and the content that will be replicated in many sites.
  9. The Audiences default in all modules was previously set to All Audiences. This caused a bug in audience consoles other than the root audiences preventing them from selecting individual audiences and allowing them to post to audiences other than their own. This bug has been repaired by changing the default value to the current audience when the user is logged into an audience other than the main audience. This same feature has been added to the Taxonomy and Resources custom modules.
  10. The taxonomy module audience filter has been added to the module Home View (#1) taxonomy display.
  11. Centralpoint form state has been implemented and supported by many new CpScripts all prefixed with the word Form. Visit the scripting help file for a description of all of the CpScripts. These form controls can be used in coordination to create a custommodule search. To do this all form controls must be added to the page with the same Group including a FormButton with the FormAction ExecuteSearch.
  12. Module searches now detect when only one result is returned and redirect to the details view for the given result.
  13. Centralpoint.WebSite.Controls.ColumnCreator is the class we use to take a data set and display it in the given number of columns. This control has been enhanced to support a RepeatDirection (Vertical, Horizontal) property.
  14. All CpSystem Info objects (Navigation, Audience, Role, Relation, KeywordList, ModuleViews, Taxonomy, etc.) have been overloaded for retrieval via an Id or SystemName.
  15. CpScripting error handling has been rewritten so that errors are displayed in red where the script would typically be displayed. This should allow administrators to debug some problems without contacting programming.
  16. Documents updated on the front end of the web site now contribute to the documents historical versions. The audit trail has also been updated to include when documents are created or updated in this manner.
  17. A bug in the system has been repaired that prevented you from removing a newly selected value in Module Defaults.
  18. Master / CMS / Navigation now supports multiline values when updating Defaults, Configuration, and Properties.
  19. Module configurations containing double delimited lists (Grid Columns, Grid Searchable Fields) have been redesigned to support XML. These changes are backward compatible with the old double delimited lists and the existing values have not been modified. Among other things, this allows us to support complex SQL statements in grid columns gaining flexibility and performance.
  20. Uber and Master management of aliases now HTML encodes the terms. This allows us to alias HTML blocks in addition to simple strings.
  21. All hierarchical modules (like Structure / Navigation) have been updated to no longer display an error (Conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier.) when you try to search a Guid field with an invalid Guid. Now the search will only return records with a null value in the Guid field. If this problem occurs in other modules we can easily add this feature.
  22. Master / CMS / Modules now supports a numeric ordering control to make it easier for module developers to reorder existing attributes.
  23. The attribute compare validator now supports data types which allows us to ensure that a value is a number or a date without validating the range of that number or date.
  24. The panel control (attribute data type) now supports a property to HTML encode a value on render. This allows us to display XML content in the console.
  25. Keyword Lists that start with HTML comments in the text will not display the comments, but will still use them for ordering.
  26. A new master property has been added to enable or disable backups during sync’s. This property is disabled by default because backups are created nightly by default, but it can be enabled using Master / Admin / Properties / Enable Sync Backups.
  27. Master / Development / Web Sites has been updated to display an error message when a backup file is used to create a site with the same name as the backed up site. SQL does not allow you to restore a site under the same name as a backup file, therefore, we have adopted the convention of adding a numeric value to the sites system name representing thenumber of times the site has moved servers.
  28. A gap in the Uber security has been repaired. Previously, when consoles were run on more than one host invalid hosts would be accessible as long as a valid host was accessed whenever the Uber security check executed.
  29. The list of master hosts within the Uber console now includes the web site to which the host is related.
  30. All global XML and XSD files have been collected from the various consoles and moved to the Centralpoint Integrations folder. All references to these files have been repaired and many application settings related to these files have been removed. This change has been made to prevent a problem that could have occurred when a change is made to one of these files and sites are not updated/sync’d. In this scenario the sites that are not updated/sync’d would have referenced the new files instead of the old resulting in unpredictable bugs and errors.
  31. A series of alignment and padding issues have been resolved that may cause some issues with existing designs. Once these bugs have been worked out they will not appear again, but for the time being we just have to fix them as they occur.
  32. The Physician Directory module has been completed. Since new modules are always sync’d as disabled, you will have to enable all the module using the Master console.
  33. The Dynamic Scripts module has been completed. Since new modules are always sync’d as disabled, you will have to enable all the module using the Master console.
