Configuration Management & Release History
Centralpoint’s configuration management process ensures a robust and systematic approach to deploying updates while maintaining stability across all environments. Before any update is released, Centralpoint undergoes multiple quality control steps to ensure that new functionalities and improvements meet the highest standards. This involves rigorous testing to identify and resolve any issues before updates are made available to clients. Updates are delivered as pull updates, allowing the client to retrieve updates remotely from Oxcyon's servers to the server where Centralpoint is installed. These updates can be automated by the client to run at predefined intervals or manually initiated as per the client’s preference, offering flexibility in managing the timing of updates. Please see our High Level Diagram of Centralpoint here.
Even after the server update is completed, Centralpoint's systematic process ensures further incremental, cascading updates across different environments. This process moves through three key stages:
1. Development Site: The initial stage where updates are first applied, allowing clients to test and adjust new features in a controlled environment.
2. Quality Control or Staging Site: After the development phase, updates are applied to a staging site, which acts as a replica of the production environment. This stage allows for further testing and validation, minimizing the risk of issues during the final rollout.
3. Live Production Site: Once updates have passed through the development and staging phases, they are applied to the live environment, ensuring that the final deployment is stable and seamless.
In addition, Centralpoint's local server provides rollback functionality, enabling clients to revert any aspect of the software back to a previous state if necessary. This rollback feature covers all environments, including the client’s server, development, staging, and live production environments. It ensures that any issues encountered during an update can be quickly addressed by reverting to a prior stable version, minimizing downtime and disruption to operations.
This methodical approach allows Centralpoint to introduce new functionalities with a default setting of 'off', giving clients the flexibility to review and enable new features from the gallery without disrupting their current configuration. It allows organizations to adopt new capabilities at their own pace, ensuring continuity and minimizing risks associated with updates.
Additionally, Centralpoint supports localized development, enabling clients to customize their Centralpoint environment independently from Oxcyon’s bi-weekly updates. Developers can modify and add their custom code within the MY MODULES folder, ensuring that these customized elements remain untouched during Oxcyon’s updates. This ensures that clients retain full control over their tailored features, while Oxcyon’s updates enhance the rest of the platform. This balance between systematic updates, rollback capabilities, and localized customization makes Centralpoint a highly adaptable solution that evolves with clients' needs while ensuring stability and control.

| Feature | Summary |
| Data Transform > Data Transfer | Two new count attributes have been introduced to track data transfer metrics. Total Count maintains a running tally of all transferred rows, though this resets when destination rows are deleted. Recent Count specifically tracks the number of rows processed during the latest execution, providing visibility into the most current transfer activity. |
Mon, Nov 11, 2024
| Feature | Summary |
| Web.config: Assembly Binding Updates and Script/Style Bundling | Assembly binding redirects will be added to the runtime section of all master, web site, and console web.config files for WebGrease (redirecting to version 1.6.5135.21930), Aspose.Imaging (redirecting to version 24.8.0.0), and Newtonsoft.Json (redirecting to version 13.0.0.0). These dependentAssembly elements will only be added if they do not already exist in the configuration files for the specified assembly names. A new appSetting "Enable.Bundling" will be supported, which is enabled by default in console applications when the setting does not exist. If script and style bundling issues are encountered in the consoles, bundling can be disabled by adding the appSetting with a value of "0" and removing the runtime element. |
| Telerik RTF Editors | An issue was reported when users copy and paste within the Design View of the system's RTF Editors. Relative URL paths were automatically converted into absolute paths using the domain from the browser. This was creating issues in client environments that use a staging site. Content in the production site was rendering absolute URLs back to staging. This also could create similar issues in applications that host multiple sites with different domains. This update is applied automatically and resolves the issue in all Telerik RTF Editors used throughout Centralpoint (editors in the client console and website form editor controls). |
| Admin > Properties: Select2 Integration for ListBox Controls | For Forms Management, two new beta properties (Enable FormPagedListBox as FormSelect2 and Enable FormDataListBox as FormSelect2) enable automatic rendering of FormPagedListBox and FormDataListBox as Select2 controls. When enabled, these implementations will use string columns for item text display, though some original list box properties will be ignored. Both features can be individually overridden using the UseSelect2 parameter in their respective scripts.
For custom and system attributes, two similar beta properties (Enable CpPagedListBox as CpSelect2 and Enable CpDataListBox as CpSelect2) enable automatic rendering of CpPagedListBox and CpDataListBox as Select2 attributes. These implementations follow the same pattern, using string columns for item text and allowing individual override via the UseSelect2 parameter in their respective attributes. All four properties are disabled by default and can be toggled between No/Yes options. |
| PdfViewer CpScript | .htm and .html file extensions will generate a PDF version of the source file and the converted PDF will render through the viewer. This update is applied automatically and no console configuration changes are required. |

| NLS & AI > Script Generator | A new Search Results Limit attribute has been added to the Algolia Autocomplete script. |
| Module Searches: Taxonomy Filter Option | When using the taxonomy query string search, results are returned based on records matching "Any" of the defined Taxonomy. A new query string variable named "taxmatch" is supported that will apply a taxonomy filter ensuring records match all Taxonomy values within the taxonomy query string. The "taxmatch" query string variable must have a value of 1 to enable the "match all" filter. An example of this is the following: ?taxonomy=a9844f99-35fc-480c-9159-37f5d12e5f25,d90e5854-f757-416d-a6dc-2674cf9c10b9&taxmatch=1 |

| CpScript PdfViewer | Word documents that are converted to PDF through the Aspose file handler will begin rendering a bookmark "Table of Contents" panel within the PDF if a table of contents in the Word document has proper TOC formatting. This update is inherited automatically and improves the PDF by making navigation within the PDF document much more user friendly. Please note that this CpScript reuses converted PDF files to optimize website performance by leveraging an actual PDF file converted one time; instead of dynamically converting different file extensions on each request. This feature will be applied to newly generated PDF files moving forward. |
| Education: Ordering & Matching Validators | Comparison validators have been applied to text inputs used in Ordering & Matching question types. This prevents users from entering duplicate values which would make their answer incorrect. The range validators bound to the text inputs are now sized per the number of inputs used within the question. Previously, they always validated a range between 1 and 20. Now it will be between 1 and the number of options within the question. This update will be applied automatically when the Education module designer record is resubmitted. |

| CpScript FormZipFileToDirectory | An error was reported and resolved where the method was throwing the following error: Compressed size mismatch between central header(30664) and local header(0). The issue is from a method used in a third-party library that works with .zip files and occurs when used against newer .zip files created from Windows file explorer. This component has been replaced throughout the system. This update contains minimal risk and was heavily tested in all places, but please forward issues to Oxcyon Programming if unexpected behavior occurs in any Centralpoint feature that works with a .zip file. |
| GenericEnhanced > Module Properties > Document Content Attributes | An issue with this feature was reported where heading tags within the Word document were being extracted as a list in HTML. This issue is caused by the heading tags within the Word document actually containing list formatting, although they still look like a heading in the Word document. A method was added to ensure list formatting is stripped from heading tags during the HTML extraction process which resolves this issue. This update will be applied automatically and no console configuration changes are required. |
| Column CpScript | When retrieving data from a NLS source, the SystemName of each DataCurrentInDataCurrent attribute is now stored as an individual property of the Attributes column.

Sun, Oct 1, 2023
| Feature | Summary |
| Admin > Natural Language Search | An early and only partially documented release of the new natural language search module. It is has been tested with Algolia and Custom search services. Once indexes have been created and populated it can be set up in Data Sources and Module Designers: Generic, Generic Plus, Generic Enhanced, Template, and Template AJAX. Web site searches (System Pages > Search) will be released next. A new Natural Language Search scheduled task has also been released to keep the remote indexes in sync. Before beginning you must create an Algolia account and configure the Application ID and App Keys in the Natural Language Search module properties. Normal module submissions should be reflected in the remote index within 15 minutes, but larger updates like data transfers occur overnight using the scheduled task. |
| Procedure Manuals > Policies | The Content Block Extractor module property from generic enhanced has been added. |
| All Generic Enhanced Modules | The recently released Generate Synonyms module property has been removed. Server-side automation of Office was discovered to cause unpredictable server behavior. If this feature was previously enabled, it will no longer generate synonyms. |
| Module Configuration > Grid Searchable Fields | This attribute now allows the grid view to support Roles searches which can be leveraged from PagedListBox controls that use the module view. A listItem tag as shown here is required: <listItem value="Roles:{Name OR RoleId}:{tableName}.DataId">Roles Search</listItem> The parameter variables are shown in {} notation. The search will return records which are assigned to the Roles attribute which manages the system's cpsys_DataCurrentInRoles table. |
| PdfViewer CpScript | The DFlip JavaScript plugin that is used with this CpScript has been upgraded from version 1.2.7 to version 1.7.35. This resolved issues with the plugin rendering problematic PDF files. |

| Feature | Summary |
| DataTransfer ShortGuid script. | This method takes GUID (DataId or UserId) and generates a Base64 string which is more readable.
GUID: c18736de-d8e2-4f8a-8fe8-faf287a90815
Base64 String: 3jaHweLYik-P6Pryh6kIFQ |
| Module Properties > Resource Content | The purpose of this feature is to extract the text from files within defined attributes and insert the file text into a system attribute named ResourceContent. This allows the file text to be indexed in the site's Full-Text Index searches. We've found it is common that the same attribute is defined in the "Word Document Content Attributes" module property. When this case occurs, the problem is that the system was extracting the contents of the file twice, inserting the same contents in two attributes, and bloating the Attributes XML. The change made to this feature is that the system will prevent the dupe file text in Resource Content when the same attribute system name is defined in the Document Content Attributes and holds a supported file extension between both methods. |
| CpScript ColumnSearchCriteriaInValue | A new property named IsExecutingCpScripts is supported. When enabled, the following CpScripts found within the content are replaced: AudienceInfo, UserInfo. All other CpScripts will be replaced with an empty string. The supported scripts listed above are safe from creating errors and performance issues. Please use the help file to apply to the site and review additional notes on this feature. |

| CpScript FormAutoSave | This method has been rewritten. It should be entirely backward compatible. If there are issues that this behaves differently, please report them immediately to the Oxcyon programming team. Afterwards add the property isLegacyMode="true" to the CpScript to use the old version. The purpose of these changes is to allow console administrators with working JavaScript skills a means to call the web-service a single time without the checkbox. We've identified custom setups with this CpScript that are executing unnecessary database writes. |
| Module Properties > Content Block Extractor | Performance enhancements have been made to this feature to only update the source document's blocks when attributes in the block have changed. Additionally, a custom attribute named "IsContentBlockExtractorDisabled" can be added to your module. When a record is submitted with this attribute holding a value of "1", the content block extractor will not execute at all. Detailed instructions on how to add the attribute have been added in the header text of module properties. |
| CpScript PdfViewer | Many errors are recorded from the PDF Handler which is the code that manages this CpScript. The errors are from corrupt files and often state "Incorrect file format" or "This file's format is not supported or you don't specify a correct format.". There is no programmatic solution to resolve these problems. The PDF Handler will now return a valid PDF document in these instances informing the user that there was an error and to notify the website administrator. The PDF will show the path to the problem source file and include the error message. |
| Search Suggestions Report was created | To display on the website create Navigation with Page Type = URL. Enter /Pages/SearchSuggestions.aspx into the URL attribute. It will only be available for the administrators. |

This script was written to be used in the "Excel" option within "Search Results Output". It will also work in results views or any Data Source that contains a ModuleId column. |
| Module Properties > Content Block Extractor | The Content Block Extractor trigger method is creating performance issues in sites when a document contains a significant amount of headings. The system now restricts the amount of records created or updated to 100 by default. If problems persist, console admins may lower this number with a new module property named "Content Block Extractor Max Upserts". |
| Data Transform > Search Results Output | This is a new configuration module that is used to convert search results into various file formats. It is currently supported at System Pages > Search (tab) > Search Results Output Controls.

| Console > RTF Editor |
The "Maximum Media Size" has been increased from 250,000,000 bytes to 750,000,000 bytes. Please consider the following prior to setting attributes to the maximum upload sizes. If the large file uploads still do not work, a developer may have to customize your web.config file to increase the maxRequestLength and executionTimeout limits for your site. These limits are used to prevent denial of service attacks which are caused, for example, by users posting large files to the server. Increasing these limits allows large file uploads and increases your risk. Uploading and downloading larger files will also increase bandwidth usage on the server and the client. They may load slowly and cause other pages to load slowly for the duration of the upload and download. This kind of performance problem will be sporadic making it difficult to diagnose and resolve. |

This compiler platform provides support for C# 7.3 and VB.NET 15.5 language features for developers. This update will include the Roslyn compilers in each application's Bin folder and will update the web.config files to utilize the new compilers. |
| .NET Framework 4.8 |
All Centralpoint sites have been updated to utilize the .NET Framework 4.8. The .NET Framework 4.8 must be installed on your server manually before this update can be installed. The installation of this framework may create "aspnet_client" folders in the Master/Root and cpweb_SystemName/Root folders on the server. These directories should be manually deleted to prevent problems with the sync. My Module developers will also be required to change their projects to target the .NET Framework 4.8. Right click the project and select Property Pages. Then select Build in the left navigation and change the Target Framework to .NET Framework 4.8. Click OK to apply your changes, save the Visual Studio project and restart Visual Studio. You may also choose to delete and recreate your Visual Studio project and it should automatically default to the appropriate version of the .NET Framework. If you have added any of your own components we suggest you install this update and test your components in your Development site before syncing the changes your other sites. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net48 |

Summary |
| Admin > Properties > Logging |
This feature is enabled only when the site needs to optimize performance for recording clicks. We recommend that "Admin > Properties > Stats > Clicks" is set to "Disabled" when Logging is enabled. We also recommend that all hardcoded URLs to click.aspx, InsertClick CpScripts, and ExtClickTracking CpScripts are completely removed from the website. However, we have found that some projects contain a significant amount of hardcoded URLs through the click.aspx page. Therefore, when Logging is enabled, we have disabled database writes from click.aspx if it is still active. This means links pointing to click.aspx will still redirect to the proper page. Additionally, the InsertClick & ExtClickTracking CpScripts will not be functional when Logging is enabled. |
| .NET Framework 4.8 & C# 7.3 |
Centralpoint will be updated to utilize the .NET Framework 4.8 early next month with the release of version 8.10.0. It is a highly compatible, in-place update to the .NET Framework 4 which delivers better performance and security. The .NET Framework 4.8 must be installed on the web server manually before Centralpoint version 8.10.0 will install. Install the framework anytime after installing and syncing this update. The installation of this framework may create "aspnet_client" folders in the Master/Root and WebSites/cpweb_/Root folders on the server. These directories should be manually deleted to prevent problems with future updates and syncs. My Module developers may also need to install the .NET Framework 4.8 Developer Pack locally. Version 8.10.0 will also update the Roslyn compilers in each application's Bin folder and will update the web.config files to utilize the latest compilers. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-framework/net48 |

| Development > Keyword Lists |
Generic keyword lists now support Name aliasing via Master > Web Sites > [Web Site Name] > Aliases. The alias will not replace the name, but rather display in parenthesis after the name: Generic A (Alias). This alias is intended to direct users toward the purpose of a keyword list, but does not replace the name. It does not affect searches or sorting within the keyword lists grid view or instances of the keyword list name outside of this module. When creating keyword list aliases you should notice that the Term selector in Master > Web Sites > [Web Site Name] > Aliases contains separate items for each Generic keyword list prefixed for keyword lists: KeywordList: Generic A. This was done to separate generic keyword list aliases from all other generic references like console navigation. |

.NET Framework 4.5
|
Centralpoint will be updated to utilize the .NET Framework 4.5 this July with the release of version 8.5.0. It is a highly compatible, in-place update to the .NET Framework 4 which delivers better performance, reliability, and security. Windows Server 2003 installations will not receive this update because they do not support the .NET Framework 4.5, but they will continue to work as they do now. Microsoft is also ending support for Windows Server 2003 in July so we recommend upgrading to Windows Server 2008 in advance. The .NET Framework 4.5.2 must be installed on your server manually before Centralpoint version 8.5.0 will install, but we do not recommend installing it yet. Because it is an in-place update that replaces the .NET Framework 4 some changes could occur with your sites before the update that utilizes the new framework is released. We will preparing the sites to prevent problems with that installation over the next few months, and will add a sync note when Centralpoint has been fully tested to support this installation. My Module developers will also be required to upgrade to Visual Studio 2012 or 2013 before July because Visual Studio 2010 does not support the .NET Framework 4.5. Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2012 support be released in the months following version 8.5.0.

A bug in Centralpoint's URL rewriter as it relates to query string variables has been discovered and repaired. During the URL rewrite the query string variables were being decoded which apparently had very little effect on how they worked until a site was accessed with an encoded ampersand. When it became decoded Centralpoint then treated the ampersand as the end of the query string variable and truncated it at that point. To repair this problem we have updated the URL rewriter to leave the query string variables encoded as it should have in the first place.

AjaxControlToolkit Removal
|
This update will remove the AjaxControlToolkit integration from Centralpoint in favor of jQuery and jQuery UI. The latest AjaxControlToolkit upgrade has been reviewed and it provides little benefit over jQuery and JQuery UI, includes 8 additional integrations, and requires changes to the system ScriptManager object. All system features that depended upon the AjaxControlToolkit have been rewritten to use jQuery and jQuery UI. The sync will modify the Root/web.config file by removing the AjaxControlToolkit from configuration/system.web/pages/controls. If you have any custom code or My Modules that utilize this integration you can keep it as a custom integration by adding "/Bin/AjaxControlToolkit.dll" to Admin> Properties > Sync Exclusions in each site before updating or sync'ing. This will prevent the removal of the DLL, prevent the web.config changes, and will protect the integration from future sync's and updates.

Account Settings
|
The following system Modules now utilize Personalization > Default Sort Order like standard Modules: Admin > Roles, Development > All Modules, Design > Media Manager, Development > Console Navigation, Development > Keyword Lists, Members, Site Architecture > Administrators, Site Architecture > Audiences, Site Architecture > Module Designer, and Site Architecture > Taxonomy. This change has also been applied to the following Master Modules: Admin > Private Labels, Admin > Roles, Admin > Users, Content > Scheduled Tasks, Content > Web Sites, Deployment > Web Sites, CMS > Keyword Lists, CMS > Modules, CMS > Navigation, and CMS > Relations. Title and Publish Start Date attributes will be replaced with the closest related attribute when necessary. Changes to Account Settings may require you to log out and back into the console.
|

New Server Request Username & Password attributes have been added when Source = “Active Directory” and Windows Authentication (Single Sign-On) = “Enabled”. These credentials are used when the server itself accesses a URL in the site to generate a PDF.

|
AjaxControlToolkit Removal
|
An update released in the near future will remove the AjaxControlToolkit integration from Centralpoint in favor of jQuery and jQuery UI. The latest AjaxControlToolkit upgrade has been reviewed and it provides little benefit over jQuery and JQuery UI, includes 8 additional integrations, and requires changes to the system ScriptManager object. All system features that depended upon the AjaxControlToolkit will be been rewritten to use jQuery and jQuery UI. When the integration is removed the sync will modify the Root/web.config file by removing the AjaxControlToolkit from configuration/system.web/pages/controls. If you have any custom code or My Modules that utilize this integration you can keep it as a custom integration by adding "/Bin/AjaxControlToolkit.dll" to Admin > Properties > Sync Exclusions in each site before the integration is removed. This will prevent the removal of the DLL, prevent the web.config changes, and will protect the integration from future sync's and updates.
|
|
CAPTCHA Images
|
A new Captcha.ashx HTTP Handler has been implemented and used to replace all system CAPTCHA images.

|
|
Console/Web.Config File
|
This file will no longer be overwritten as part of the sync process. It can now be modified to meet the needs of custom development in the Console application. When a Centralpoint update requires a change to this file it will be executed via a sync invoked method, like the Root/Web.Config file, and documented in the sync notes.

We have updated our Geocoding implementation to support both version 2 and version 3 of the Google Maps API based on the Admin > Properties > Google Maps API attribute. We encourage you to generate a new API key and make the change to version 3 as soon as possible.
|

They will be automatically removed from the console (Master/Root and Console) web.config files during the sync, but front end web site (Root) Web.Config files will not be affected. These elements can be removed manually after determining that all custom code and client scripts support the change.

New virtual AddToCart and ValidateItem methods were added to Centralpoint’s Ecommerce.Cart class. They can be overridden in custom providers to customize or extend the process of adding items to the cart. This feature is primarily used to add custom quantity validation. The FormAddToCartButton CpScript was also updated to support validation on the results view without redirecting to the home view.

Site Architecture > Translations
|
A new module was created to store blocks of text or HTML that can be translated for display in different audiences. The text can be explicitly translated using the new Translate CpScript, and when a translation does not exist in the current audience the text itself will be rendered. Some other CpScripts and CpControls have been enhanced to support parameter level translations. When noted in the related help file these parameters can be translated by adding a “cpsys_Translate:” prefix to the parameter value. This feature works well when a few labels or messages require translation, but creating separate module designer and/or navigation records per audience is recommended when a large number of translations are needed.
|
|
SQL Cache Dependencies
|
SQL cache dependencies have been removed from the system in favor of other caching mechanisms. The SqlDependency query notification object is no longer automatically started or stopped within the application. If you have custom code that references a SqlCacheDependency please contact your support team before installing this update.

Telerik RadControls

The integrated Telerik RadControls for ASP.NET AJAX have been upgraded to the latest version from December 2012. This upgrade will primarily affect the RTF Editor and File Upload controls found throughout Centralpoint. A full list of changes made since the last update in October 2012 can be found here: http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/whats-new/release-history.aspx
|
|
RTF Editors
|
The ConvertToXhtml content filter has been removed from the Telerik RadEditor to prevent unwanted source changes added in the latest update.
|
|
Column CpScript
|
The Name parameter now supports an expression (cpsys_Attributes:SystemName) to retrieve attributes that are not returned as columns in the select command or relation. The SystemName portion of the expression should be replaced with the System Name of the attribute in the related module. If an attribute does not exist with the given System Name the script will return an empty string. This expression requires that the select command returns the DataId or Attributes column. Standard Module Designer > Home View (#1) and Results View (#2) > Item Content attributes already support this expression using the DataId column in the relation. Data Sources require that the Select Command attribute includes one of these columns manually, and the Attributes column is recommended for better performance. The Select Command Builder has also been updated to automatically include the Attributes XML column when All is selected under Additional Attributes. Using this expression may cause a decrease in performance due to a database query used to retrieve attribute XML, but returning fewer records per page can improve its performance. The performance is most significantly affected by the first attribute retrieved, and is not significantly affected by retrieving multiple attributes with one select command. Adding and sync’ing columns via Master > CMS > Relations is still the most efficient way to make attribute values available in a select command or relation.

| Feature |
Summary |
| Forms Management |
Encoding and hash codes have been added to the hidden variables used to track form item values. This allows us to differentiate improperly generated form variables from hacking attempts and corrupt form submissions. It also works to obscure the form state value from inspection in the page source. A new Development > Utilities > Form State Decoding attribute has also been added to decode these values for debugging. |
| Development > Errors |
Validation of view state MAC failed errors will no longer be recorded. They relate to view state tampering or corruption because the hash created before the response was sent does not match the hash generated after the data was posted back. |
| Maximum Request Lengths |
Standard module submissions has increased from 8 MB to 20 MB, and resource uploads has increased from 100 MB to 500 MB. |

| Design > Mobile Navigation |
A new Hover Menu Content HTML Class Name attribute has been added to class the navigation item while the user hovers over the menu content. |
| EducationTestResultsLink CpScript |
A new DomainName parameter has been added to specify the domain name of the link in the generated email. |
| Multiple File Downloads |
The new /Modules/DataSource/ZipFiles.aspx page accepts a comma separated list of file paths in the ‘files' query string parameter. It will compress the accessible files and prompt the user to download all of the files as a single ZIP file. A new ZipFilesDownloadButton CpScript has also been created to work in conjunction with either the DownloadCheckBox CpScript or the Module Designer's DownloadCheckBoxColumn CpDataBind. |

- The system Encryption class has been updated for IIS 7 to automatically generate an encryption key and store it in the web.config file if one doesn't already exist: http://dev.xodev00.com/Test.aspx.
- Taxonomy Subset 4 – 6 attributes have been added to the TRB > Blurbs Module and Results View (#2): http://dev.xodev00.com/Console/Module.aspx?sn=Blurbs, http://dev.xodev00.com/main/blurbs.aspx?search=sample.
- The Admin > Custom Errors module has been updated to support URL encoded spaces (%20) in the Original URL attribute: http://dev.xodev00.com/our%20services/home%20health%20services.
- A new jQuery Charts option has been added to Design > Data Sources > Formatting > Formatting Options attribute. It can be used to generate line, bar, area, and pie graphs from queries that return integral values: http://dev.xodev00.com/Console/Module.aspx?sn=DataSources1, http://dev.xodev00.com/main/bar-chart.aspx.
- New HideMapIfEmpty and UseAudienceForGeoCodes parameters have been added to the GoogleMap CpControl used on the Details View (#3) of standard modules. These controls prevent the map from being displayed using the audience's address when the current record has no address: http://dev.xodev00.com/main/cgeneric-enhanced-a-geo-codes/44.aspx.
- A new "letter" query string variable is now supported by all standard modules. Adding letter=A to the query string of a module's URL will trigger a search for records whose title starts with the letter A: http://dev.xodev00.com/main/module.aspx?letter=a.
Sun, Sep 30, 2012
- The StayWell > Subtopics module has been updated to better predict the correct URL to use for area's displayed on splash pages. This change is facilitated by two CSV files; one is managed by Krames StayWell and the other by Oxcyon.
- Data synchronization is now possible using the new "Sync Data" checkbox within each site in the Master > Deployment > Synchronize module. It has been documented in the module's help file. It can also be selected from a new Master > Content > Scheduled Tasks record when Job = "Synchronize Web Sites" and Include Web Sites = "Selected". This is a beta release and we recommend running and verifying it on a copy before using it on a production site.
- It was recently discovered that many master console have tracing enabled which can result in a decrease in performance. This is most likely a result of developers debugging a problem and forgetting to disable tracing when they are done.

They are used to render the subtopic page contents in a similar manner to the StayWell demo site. Subtopics using these splash files will automatically reflect the changes in the files.
- Change Notifications have been added to the form view of all standard modules. They are designed to notify you if a document is modified by another user while you have it open. You will also be notified if notes are added to a document so it can be used as a way to communicate with other users who may have the same document open. The notification is always triggered by clicking the save button, but the system also checks periodically without a click. The interval of this check is set in Admin > Properties > Console Change Notification Interval which defaults to 5 minutes. Of course, no notification will be displayed if no changes were made to the open document. You can preview this feature by opening the same document in two different windows and saving it in one.

- Centralpoint has been updated to gracefully remove duplicates in data relationships like Audiences, Taxonomy, and Roles. In the past, an error would be returned when the same taxonomy was associated with one record more than once. Centralpoint now automatically removes the duplicates and successfully creates the desired relationships. This problem typically occurred when data was created using an outside source via Forms and Data Transfer.

- The Centralpoint page base class's ClientScripts property has been depreciated and all client scripts are now managed by the CpScriptManager. It automatically registers a Page.js file that can be efficiently cached by the browser and contains the majority of the frequently used Centralpoint JavaScripts.
- The Admin > Properties > Header Tags > Register Toggle Div JavaScript attribute has been removed because this JavaScript is now automatically added by the CpScriptManager control.
- All CSS and JavaScript files related to Centralpoint.Web.UI.Console and Centralpoint.Web.UI.Controls have been consolidated into Console.css, Console.js, Controls.css, and Controls.js. The registration of these files has been moved into new static Console.Common and Controls.Common classes.
- A hover effect has been added to all console grids and allows you to click anywhere in the row instead of just on the title of the record to view the details of a record.
- The CpXmlValidator control used to validate client console attributes that take uploaded CpCollection XML files has been updated to fail validation when the provided file path does not exists. These controls previously returned an error when this occurred.
- For good reason, most browsers make it nearly impossible for client-side JavaScript to arbitrarily read and write the system clipboard. Due to this limited browser support we have removed all client-side JavaScript clipboard features from all consoles. Copy buttons next to text box attributes in the client console (CpTextBox.AllowCopy) have been changed to "Select Text" buttons and the CpLabel.AllowCopy property has been depreciated.
- A new Account Settings > Personalization > Checkbox Selects Data Key attribute has been added to make copying DataIds, AudienceIds, TaxonomyIds, etc. easier within the client console. This feature is disabled by default, but when enabled it causes the console grid row selector checkbox to copy the row's data key to the search header keywords text box when checked. The Account Settings module must be accessed in the console in which your account was created, and you may have to log out and back into the console before changes will be applied.

This property must be set during the PreInit phase of the page life cycle.
- Design > jQuery UI Themes: A time stamp has been added to the query string portion of the CSS file URL to force browsers to clear their cache when the theme is modified.
- A new RegisterUnmanagedScriptInclude CpScript has been created and is recommended for registering all custom JavaScript files. It will work in any attribute that supports CpScripting, but is most commonly needed in Header Elements and Scripts attributes. Regardless of where these CpScripts are entered they will always register the client script include after the system client script includes. Using this CpScript will also allow Centralpoint to be more aware of custom JavaScript files, and better predict and prevent potential problems.
- Styles, Scripts, and Startup Scripts attributes have been added to the Admin > Properties module under the Header Tags attribute. These attributes can be used to add styles or scripts to every page in the site.

- jQuery version 1.7.2 and jQuery UI version 1.8.21 have been included in all sites including a general jQuery UI theme (CSS file and images). jQuery features may now be referenced from any custom code or client console. All existing references to these or previous libraries should be removed because the system will automatically add the required references. All existing references to non-scoped themes should also be removed, and can be managed using the new Design > jQuery UI Themes module.
- All StayWell module designer records utilizing the Subtopics view must be resubmitted for compatibility with the new JQuery Integration.

In order for the formatting to work properly the CpScript must have the DataType property set to DateTime or Decimal.
- The Site Architecture > Globalization > Ecommerce Prices attribute now can be used to set up custom ecommerce price attributes per audience. When used in coordination with the Culture Override property you can set up an audience for a specific location including unique product process. When the end user's audience changes their cart will be automatically reset using the price attributes from the new audience. Be sure to set the cartUrl property of the FormAddToCartButton CpScript to '/cpsys_Audience/Cart.aspx' so that the cart loads in the current audience.

Sun, Aug 28, 2011
- All Centralpoint sites will be automatically upgraded to ASP.NET 4 (http://www.asp.net/LEARN/whitepapers/aspnet4) during the update installation. Before installing this update you must ensure that the .NET Framework 4 is installed on your web server and that ASP.NET 4 is Allowed via IIS’s Web Service Extensions. Please disable your server's auto update via the Master > Content > Scheduled Tasks module if you are concerned with this upgrade or would like more time. Your site’s web.config file will be automatically backed up in the Backups folder before it is modified. If you have added any custom httpModules or httpHandlers in any Root/web.config file you will need to manually add them back after the update. The update will also modify IIS to place the Master and Development sites in a new app pool called cpsys_Default and all other web sites and consoles in one called cpweb_Default. These new app pools will be created using the settings applied to the Application Pools folder in IIS. If you had a custom app pool configuration, you’ll have to ensure your app pools are running only ASP.NET 4 sites first, and then reapply them manually after the update.
- Due to the ASP.NET 4 upgrade, all My Module developers will have to upgrade their Visual Studio 2010 projects to the .NET Framework 4. Just right click the project and select Property Pages. Then select Build in the left navigation and change the Target Framework to .NET Framework 4. Click OK to apply your changes, save the Visual Studio project and restart Visual Studio. You may also choose to delete and recreate your Visual Studio project and it should automatically default to the appropriate version of the .NET Framework. If you are using an earlier version of Visual Studio you should either upgrade or develop by dropping files into the editor, but without using a project.

- The web.config file of all web sites and master consoles will have the mostRecent attribute of the trace element set to false. This change will not affect sites unless tracing is enabled, but when enabled it will make it easier to utilize the trace in high traffic sites. With this feature disabled the trace will only contain the first 50 pages since the last time it was cleared, but you may change this setting back manually if you prefer it enabled.
- A new QRBarcodes CpScript has been developed to generate quick response bar codes.
The next update package, v8.1.0, will upgrade all Centralpoint sites to ASP.NET 4 (http://www.asp.net/LEARN/whitepapers/aspnet4). This update requires changes to both IIS and the web.config files which will be applied automatically to all sites during the update installation. The update containing this upgrade (v8.1.0) is scheduled for release on August 29, 2010. Before installing this update you must ensure that the .NET Framework 4 is installed on your web server and that ASP.NET 4 is Allowed via IIS’s Web Service Extensions. The .NET Framework 4 is an optional windows update and you should check for important updates after its installation. Please disable your server's auto update and sync via the Master > Content > Scheduled Tasks module if you are concerned with this upgrade or would like more time.
The current update package (v8.0.65) executes a method that will check your server’s ability to automatically upgrade and send a report via the Development > Errors module. A representative from Oxcyon will contact you to schedule a manual update if this report provides any evidence that the automatic upgrade will not succeed. Microsoft has provided a list of migration issues (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee941656.aspx), and all standard Centralpoint features have been tested and updated to prevent problems. If you have produced any custom development on your server, you may want to review these issues and keep in mind that the upgrade will set all sites to controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion=”3.5” and clientIdMode=”AutoId” for backward compatibility. We expect only minor upgrade issues, if any, even within My Modules. If you have added any custom httpModules or httpHandlers in your site’s Root web.config file you will need to manually add them back after the update.
Your site’s web.config file will be automatically backed up in the Backups folder before it is modified. The upgrade will also modify IIS to place the Master site in a new app pool called cpsys_Default and all web sites and consoles in one called cpweb_Default. These new app pools will be created using the settings applied to the Application Pools folder in IIS. If you had a custom app pool configuration, you’ll have to ensure your app pools are running only ASP.NET 4 sites first, then reapply them manually after the update.

This allows you to select specific preset gadgets that are only available to users in the same roles, but it will not remove gadgets that already exist on a user’s dashboard regardless of their roles. The audience and role filtration will not be applied to the settings view until the related module designer record is re-submitted.
- A new ColumnFriendlyUrl CpScript has been developed for use within the Data Sources > Item Content attributes. It can be used to automatically generate a URL from a data source in the same format as other system generated URLs.

- It was discovered that the code used to loop through and index site map nodes in the DynamicNavigation CpScript was taking an unusually long time to execute. This problem was only visible when the site map contained more than 500 nodes, but did affect any site using dynamic navigation with more than 100 site map nodes. This CpScript has been rewritten and can now handle thousands of site map nodes in a fraction of a second.
- System filtration (roles, audiences, start date, end date, display status) has been added to the Issue displayed on the Home View (#1) of the Publications module suite. This change will not be applied to a site until the related Site Architecture > Module Designer record is resubmitted.
- A new attribute has been added to the Master > Web Sites > Web Site > Configuration tab called Uploads Path. This attribute allows you to manually move the Uploads directory out of the web site’s Root folder and notify the system of the directories new location. The attribute expects the fully qualified path to the Uploads directory from the web server and should only be used when the Uploads directory is not in its usual location. You must also set up a virtual directory in IIS and set the folders permissions accordingly after it has moved as described in the attributes header text.
- A new CopyFormInputValues CpScript has been created to copy values between HTML form fields.
- The FormUpload CpScript has been enhanced with support for a new cpsys_NewGuid constant in the subfolder parameter to prevent anonymous users from overwriting the files of other anonymous users.

- A bug in the Members > Dashboard module that prevented CpScripts from working in the Header and Footer content has been repaired.
- The Development > Utilities module's Reset Hits/Ratings attribute has been update to reset Clicks too.
Sun, Jun 5, 2011
- A new attribute called "AJAX Enabled" has been added to the Results View (#2) tab in the Site Architecture > Module Designer for all Marketplace Directories. Enabling AJAX will cause the content area of the results view to refresh without the rest of the page when a button within the content area is clicked. This includes everything between and including the Header Content and Footer Content. While the content area of the page is being updated a progress indicator will appear in the upper right hand corner of the page. The design of this progress indicator can be controlled using the Design > Styles > Global > Partial Page Update Progress Template attribute.
- The InquiryButton CpScript used with Marketplace Directories in the module designer has been updated to include a new Type property. By default this property is set to Add, but a new Clear type is available that can be used to include a button that removes all items from the inquiry list. When the type is set to Clear the button will not be displayed when there are no items in the inquiry list.
- The resource upload control has been updated to provide the option to upload a standard file or a resource. The resource upload control is commonly used to upload or select a record in Design > Media Manager from attributes like Content > Generic A > Image. This control now displays two upload buttons: File Upload and Resource Upload. This will permit users without access to the Media Manager module to utilize modules containing attributes using the resource upload control. It also provides the option to utilize a more efficient standard file when the security around a resource is not required.
- A bug in the web site search has been repaired that periodically caused results to point to the wrong navigation item when two navigation items existed in the same audience, using the same module, but only one was included in the web site search.
- The FormAddToCartButton CpScript’s CartUrl parameter has been updated to dynamically generate the audience system name portion of the URL when the value starts with “/cpsys_Audience/”.
- A new Domain attribute has been added to the Admin > Global Login module when Source = Active Directory. This attribute is not required, but will be used to prefix the username when provided.
- A new Group parameter has been added to the ProximitySearch and CustomProximitySearch CpScripts. Setting the Group parameter will cause this script to automatically trigger the form state search with that group.
- The Development > Utilities module's Reset Hits attribute has been update to reset ratings too.
Sun, May 22, 2011
- The Menu Item Spacing and Selected Spacing attributes in all tabs of the Design > Dynamic Navigation module have been updated to support a value of 0. Setting these attributes to 0 will hide the ASP.NET Menu controls default 3 pixel spacer.
- A new module group called Dashboards has been developed and added under the Members module in the client console. These modules can be used to set up personal dashboards for your sites members and allow them to configure them as they see fit. These modules are documented in the Members > Dashboards help file.
- The Design > Data Sources module now lets you select the Database Provider (SQL Server or Oracle) when you select Connection String under the Attributes > Data Source attribute.
- The Comments > Configuration > Form > Review (Enabled) > Body attribute has been updated to support a new placeholder called CommentId. This placeholder can be used instead of the ReviewUrl placeholder to create a custom link to the comment in the client console: http://www.yourdomain.com/Console/Comments.aspx?sn=CommentsAllModules&cid=[cp:placeholders key='CommentId' /].
- A new FormFormatMonths CpScript has been developed and documented in the Scripting help file. It was designed to display the complete month name.
- The Forms module has been enhanced with a new Processing > Custom attribute. This can be used execute a custom static method to manipulate the values in form state when the form submission occurs.
Sun, May 8, 2011
- A new User Refresh Rate module property has been added to the Admin > Global Login module. The "Remember Me" feature of web site logins will work with Global Logins when this property is set to a value greater than 0. It defines the number of hours after which the integrated user's information is updated in Centralpoint using the authentication source. If this property is set to 0 the user's information is only updated upon login, and the "Remember Me" feature does not work.
- The web site search has been enhanced so that module content will be excluded when it is displayed on a navigation item that is excluded from the web site search.
- The FormMobileLoginButton CpScript has been updated to support the 'cpsys_CurrentUrl' value in its RedirectUrl parameter. Use this value to have the user redirected to the same page after logging in. Any form data, like search criteria, submitted before logging in will be lost and the user will be returned to the pre-post-back (home) view of the page.
- The Comments > Configuration > Form > Review (Enabled) > CC & BCC attributes have been updated to support a comma or semi-colon separated list of email addresses.
- A bug in the Admin > XML/RSS module related to the system filters has been repaired.
- The Forms > Forms > Completed (Yes) > Redirect URL now supports CpScripting.
Sun, Apr 24, 2011
- The Comments, Rating, and Icon cp:control scripts have been updated to support a Roles parameter that is similar to the standard CpScripting Roles parameter. Including a comma separated list of role system names will cause the control to display only when the user is in the roles.
- The FormListBox CpScript has been updated to support an OrderBy parameter which has been documented in the Scripting help file.
- The Admin > XML/RSS module has been updated so that the AutoNumber is accessible to the feed when generated using an XSLT.
- A new paramter called DisplayValueInFormResults has been added to all forms management CpScripts. When this parameter is set to 'false' the value will not be recorded in the Forms > Results module.
Sun, Apr 10, 2011
- The Comments > All Modules module contains a standard list box of reviewers that loads slowly when there are a large number of users in the site. This control has been replaced with a label containing the reviewer name and email to prevent this problem.
- The Site Architecture > Homepages and Navigation modules have been updated to display a new Module Type attribute when the Page Type attribute is set to “Module”. This new attributes defaults to the value “Standard” which works with all modules. The Homepages/Navigation option displays a new Content attribute when selected which can be used to create unique module designer records for a small number of homepages or navigation items. The setup details have been outlined in a new Q & A help file that is linked to the new Content attribute and notes have been included in the header text.
- Te Reporting > Report Builder module has been updated to prevent a problem where notifications would not be sent if the scheduler ran at an earlier time than it did the day before.
Sun, Mar 27, 2011
- A bug has been repaired in the JavaScript code released in the last update that initialized the HTML generated by the table wizard in the RTF Editor. This bug caused a JavaScript error when pasting plain text into the RTF editor’s design view. Please try clearing your browsers cache if you still experience this problem after installing this update.
- The standard file upload dialog has been updated to support files as large as 1 gigabyte.
- The Reporting > Report Builder module has been updated to prevent a problem where daily notifications would not be sent if the scheduler ran two days in a row at exactly the same time.
- The Comments > All Modules module contained a standard list box of users which timed out when there were a large number of users in the site. This control has been replaced with a label containing the user id to prevent this problem. The user name and user email address are also provided as separate label attributes.
- Development > All Modules has a new attribute called Filter that can be used when doing a Search & Replace. It allows you to filter the searched records and is often used to execute the replacements in batches by Auto Number to prevent time out errors.
- A bug in the Design > Dynamic Navigation module has been repaired which caused the separator image to display improperly when used in a site with more than one nav group. The separator image would display after the last item when an item existed after that item in a different nav group.
Sun, Mar 13, 2011
- We have added support for the Height property in the CpListBox control when the SelectionModule property is set to Multiple. This was used to add a new Site Architecture > System Pages > Search > Search Module Selector Height attribute.
- A new Virtual User Control control is now available in CMS. This control allows you to create custom attribute controls in the client console using user control (ASCX) files. It can be used to create a simple control or to generate multiple attributes or custom interfaces. This new control will be debuted when the new Data Transfer module is released.
- The CpModuleListBox control has a new property called IncludeSystemModules. This allows module selectors to include modules with no front end user interface. This new property will be utilized by the new Data Transfer module.
- The table wizard in the RTF Editor has been updated to default all new tables to use a cellspacing and cellpadding of 0. We also use a global style to alter all cells’ text alignment to top-middle.
- All CpScripts that utilize the FormatValue utility have been enhanced so that the third format parameter {2} can be used to retrieve a resource extension when the script itself returns a resource file path. Attribute, Column, and many more CpScripts use the FormatValue utility. A typical use for this would be to populate the SRC tag in the details view of the module designer when an Attribute CpScript returns a resource image file path: [cp:scripting key='Attribute' SystemName='Image' Format='<img src="{0}&ext=.{2}" alt="{1}" />' /].
Mon, Feb 28, 2011
- A new Design > Styles > Navigation > Navigation Type has been added that only displays the children of the currently selected navigation item. This new item has been named "Display only the children of the selected navigation item", and the option that previously had this name has been renamed "Display only the children of the selected first tier navigation item".
- The system image resizing HTTP handlers have been updated to support resizing PNG images.
- The new Admin > Properties > Sync Exclusions attribute has been updated to prevent the excluded files from being copied to child sites in addition to preventing them from being deleted during the sync.
- A constant has been added to the search query string variable that can be used to trigger a standard module search with no keywords. Add "?search=ExecuteSearch" to the URL of a standard module’s Home View (#1) to display the Results View (#2) without including search keywords. This method should be used instead of "?fields=Title|" which has the same result, but makes it difficult for some spiders to follow the link.
- The master activation and web site deployment modules have been repaired so that they no longer create an invalid IIS entry and a stopped site when "localhost" is in the IP Address attribute.
- A new single-user mode feature has been added to the client console and can be enabled using Development > Utilities > Console Single-user Mode. Enable single-user mode to lock all other users out of the client console while executing delicate processes.
- A bug has repaired in the web site search that caused the site map results to be filtered by the last audience loaded into application state as opposed to the current audience. This caused the site search to provide unpredictable results related to the site map module as different users loaded different audiences.
- The Comments RSS feed has been updated to convert the Create Date from UTC before using it as the Publish Date of the RSS items.
- The FormUpload CpScript has been updated to support a cpsys_UserId constant in the SubFolder parameter. This causes a new sub-folder to be created per user preventing files from getting overwritten by different users via forms management forms.
Mon, Feb 14, 2011
- The Admin > Properties module has a new attribute called Properties > Sync Exclusions. This attribute can be used to prevent a web site’s custom files or folders from being deleted by the sync.
- Reports suggest that the Dynamic Navigation script sometimes displays the ID of the control in the browser for a brief period of time before the control is dynamically placed on the page. The system function that dynamically places CpScripts containing complicated user controls has been updated to prevent the ID from being displayed.
- The Display Name attribute has been added to the list of search-able fields in the web site consoles Members and Site Architecture > Administrators modules.
- A new Paged List Box control is now available in CMS. This control works and looks like a Data List Box, but supports custom SQL as opposed to only modules. This selector includes paging, searching, sorting, columns, and more. It was designed to replace the Custom List Box control when the related data source contains too many records to load or select in a standard list box.
- All attributes containing Custom List Box controls relating to the Users tables have been replaced with the new Paged List Box control to support a very large number of users.
- We now have a forms management pre-processor CpScript for Authorize.NET that can be used for credit card processing in standard forms.
- The ad banner manager has been updated to use a local random number generator to prevent problems in a multi-threaded environment.
Mon, Jan 31, 2011
- Advertising > Ad Tracking > Banners has been updated so an error is not returned when a client console search over the Data Id attribute is conducted without a valid Guid. This problem was common when an edit mode link was used to link to the client console and the search keywords were changed without changing the fields or match.
- The system replacement method used on collections of attributes or properties has been updated to use a case-insensitive replacement. This resolves issues that occur when the RTF editor alters the case of file paths in the client console preventing them from being properly replaced for display on the site.
- The code on the front end of the site that verifies whether a document is in the current role and audience on the Details View (#3) has been updated to be more forgiving with imported lists of values stored in a single attribute. It now supports comma-space separated lists, comma separated lists, and audience id’s without console or web site accessibility specifiers.
- Centralpoint now supports custom development within the Master/Root folder for clients hosting their own master console and developing My Modules. Files and folders created in the Master/Root folder, or any sub-folder, with the “my_” prefix will not be modified or removed by the update installation or sync processes.
- You can now create My Scheduled Tasks in your master console and schedule them from Master > Content > Scheduled Task. This process has been outlined in the Master > Content > Scheduled Tasks help file.
Mon, Jan 17, 2011
- A bug in the Login page’s Request Your Password form which caused an error when the user contained different email addresses in their username and email address attributes has been repaired.
- A new attribute called Private Content has been added to the Site Architecture > Homepages and Navigation modules. When a user is authenticated (logged in) and this attribute contains a value, the Private Content will be displayed instead of the Content attribute. If you are using a Site Architecture > Module Designer record to display your homepages or navigation you must resubmit the module designer to utilize this new attribute. If your module designer record has Use Navigation Content set to No, you can utilize the Private Content by adding another CpScript for this attribute, and setting the role parameter of the Content CpScript to Public and the PrivateContent CpScript to Private.
- The web site backups have been updated to prevent SQL Server backup expiration's from interfering with Centralpoint’s database backups.
- Ecommerce has been updated to visually enforce and validate the Maximum Quantity Per User and Inventory attributes. Maximum Quantity Per User attribute cannot be accurately enforced unless the user has logged in.
Mon, Jan 3, 2011
- A bug in the error reporting web service call has been repaired to restore normal error reporting and recording.
- The Development > Errors modules in the master and web site consoles have been updated for increased clarity. By default errors are grouped by the error key. This feature existed in the previous version, but was not fully functional. The Error Key can be viewed in an error’s details and is used to determine duplicate errors. The Error Key Count (EKC) column displays the number of occurrences of the error key. This module also now includes a Stack Trace field which loosely correlates to the error key and can be used when debugging an error.
- The update installation process has been updated to prevent master and development web site backups when Admin > Properties > Enable Sync Backups is set to “No”. Please ensure that these sites are backed up manually or with scheduled tasks when sync backups are disabled.
- Support for CpScripting style comments has been added to cp:controls. Just add "//" to the beginning of the key property to prevent it from displaying or executing: [cp:control key=’//KEY’ /].
Mon, Dec 13, 2010
- Admin > Common Scripts is a new module which displays the title, description, and body of all web site help files.
- A bug in forms management pre-processing has been discovered and repaired that prevented pre-processors from executing when the same form element was included on a page with the same id more than once.
- A bug that prevented the client console login from automatically redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS when enabled has been repaired. A similar bug that prevented some console navigation items from working when HTTPS is enabled has been also repaired.
- The Development > Errors module has been updated so that it no longer records errors while Development > Utilities > Application Trace is set to “Enabled”. When tracing is enabled the site is being debugged and the errors are displayed on the screen, therefore, there is no need for them to be recorded.
- A new attribute called “Enable Error Reporting” has been added to the Admin > Properties modules in master and web site consoles. This property can be set to “No” to prevent errors from being sent to Uber and subsequently recorded in the Development > Errors module. This property must be set to “No” when utilizing software that tests a site for vulnerabilities to prevent excessive error recording.
- Error notification emails have been updated to be more clear and concise.
- The Development > Errors module has been enhanced to include additional details and parse the details we have to make it quicker and easier to address errors.
Mon, Nov 29, 2010
- A new Admin > Email Access module has been created to generate a script that will display a read only list of messages in a users email inbox. This module can also be set up to work with the Active Directory Global Login’s Outlook Web Access integration. The details of this module and setup instructions are included in the modules help file.
- The Phone Number Validator has been renamed "US Phone Number" in CMS because it is only designed to validate US phone numbers. If you allow non-US phone numbers you should either use a Regular Expression Validator or no validator at all.
- The Advertising > Advertisers module has been updated to support records that are displayed on all pages except homepages. When you select “All Pages” in the Page Type attribute you will presented with a new attribute called “All Pages” that provides you with following options: Yes, Not On Homepages, and Only On Homepages.
- Console form views have been updated to support the enter key for form submission. A global change has been made to the FormFooter control which typically contains the form submit button so that it automatically sets the first FormFooter’s submit button to be triggered by the enter key.
- The custom attributes implementation has been modified so that invalid XML does not cause an exception. Invalid custom attributes XML will now trigger a JavaScript alert and the invalid XML will not be used.
- A new Reset Module Configuration utility has been added to Development > Utilities in the client consoles. This utility can be used to reset a modules configuration to its default values when a change is made to the configuration that causes an error while trying to view the module.
- Admin > Properties > Web Site Login Allows Ancestor Admins has been added to allow you to control whether the front end login authenticates against the master and uber consoles if the user is not found in the web site console. This property is set to No by default to prevent unnecessary remote authentication.
- The Development > Process Monitor modules in the master and web site consoles have been updated so that the master accurately displays the name of the web site the process is running under and the web site does not display the web site name.
Mon, Nov 15, 2010
- The comments thread has been updated so that the usernames and/or email addresses manually entered for anonymous users are utilized.
- The client console login has been updated to prevent problems redirecting to some URLs after authentication. The error was being returned in Microsoft’s FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage method so this method has been replaced with a manual redirect.
- Long running client console processes have been updated to report to the Master process monitor. This helps us to track long running processes as well as determine the cause of performance issues.
- An issue that caused the RelatedData script to fail when a page contained keywords including the percent symbol (%) has been resolved.
- A new Encryption property has been implemented into the Centralpoint.Web.Management class. This property enables the encryption and decryption of strings for storage within Centralpoint. The first time that this class is used an encryption key will be generated and stored in the web.config file. If you are concerned with the security of this key you should protect the app settings using the Admin > Settings module. It is a good idea to back this key up in a secure location because encrypted strings cannot be decrypted if it is lost.
- The Active Directory Source within Admin > Global Login now supports automatic login with Outlook Web Access. Selecting Enabled in the new Outlook Web Access attribute allows you to configure the global login to store the information required to automatically log users into Outlook Web Access.
- The Centralpoint.Cms.Audiences class library now includes new methods to aid in the process of importing audiences.
- All CpScripts that utilize the FormatValue utility have been enhanced so that the second format parameter {1} can be used to retrieve a resource description when the script itself returns a resource file path. Attribute, Column, and many more CpScripts use the FormatValue utility. A typical use for this would be to populate the ALT tag in the details view of the module designer when an Attribute CpScript returns a resource image file path: [cp:scripting key='Attribute' SystemName='Image' Format='<img src="{0}" alt="{1}" />' /]
- The stored procedure used to retrieve taxonomy for a specific module has been updated to support unlimited length filters.
Sun, Oct 31, 2010
- The cpsys_Users tables primary key and all related foreign keys have been dropped and recreated to provide better indexing of Users and permit XML indexes over the Properties column in the future.
- The Design > Styles > Navigation > Navigation Type attribute has been updated to include more descriptive options. We have also added a new option that opens all descendants of the currently selected first tier item.
- A new Selected Item Type attribute has been added to the Navigation and Sub Nav tabs in the Design > Styles module. This attribute allows you to define whether the navigation applies the “Selected” styles to only the current item instead of all items in the path from the current item to the root. If you wish to only have the current item selected you must choose “Current Item” in both the Navigation and Sub Nav tabs.
- The client console Rating display has been updated to exclude leads with a rating of zero.
- A new Podcasting module suite has been developed and the Podcast Categories taxonomy including all of its descendants will be automatically inserted to support this module suite.
- A new Design > Media Files module has been developed to support a file system based image gallery.
- A new Design > Dynamic Scripts > Details Slider attribute exists to support a content based slide show.
- A new Design > Dynamic Tab Display module has been developed to display tabbed content.
Sun, Oct 17, 2010
- Development > All Modules has been updated to support sites with a large amount of data. To facilitate this change, this module is now ordered by the document title instead of the module name.
- The CleanUp utility scheduled from the master and executed during sync’s and backups has been updated to run significantly faster. To facilitate this performance enhancement database maintenance tasks have been removed from this process and will be included in a new utility which can be scheduled separately and less frequently.
- A new utility called “Database Maintenance” has been added to the Development > Utilities module in all web sites and masters. This utility defragments and rebuilds indexes when necessary and shrinks the log files when possible. A scheduled task has also been created to execute this utility monthly. If this task fails to complete in the given time period you may have to manually execute the cpsp_Maintenance stored procedure. Some specialized sites also require custom database maintenance events.
- An UrgentAttentionException has been implemented into the system for errors that require immediate attention and utilized when relation population fails during the automated sync process. In this case, the error is trapped and the exception includes instructions describing how to manually repopulate the problem relation.
- The Deployment > Web Sites module in the master has been updated to remove all survey submissions, data broadcast batches, clicks, and ecommerce orders related to the parent site when a new site is created.
- The Admin > Properties > Web Site Login Requires Secure Channel (SSL) has been removed in favor of Site Architecture > Navigation (Login) > Details > Requires HTTPS. Previously, both of these attributes had to be set to “Yes” for the login to utilize HTTPS.
- The Comments > Configuration > Thread > Item Content attribute now supports the UserDisplayName placeholder. It can be used to display the Members > Details > Display Name attribute for each item in the comments thread.
- A new Menu Item Images attribute has been added to each of the Static, Dynamic, and Level tabs of the Design > Dynamic Navigation module. This attribute allows you to Disable the use of images uploaded in the Site Architecture > Navigation > Details > Image attribute in the dynamic navigation.
- The Site Architecture > Audiences > Company tab now contains 2 new attributes: Homepages Module Design and Navigation Module Design. These attributes allow you to select unique Site Architecture > Module Designer records per audience. Site Architecture > Homepages/Navigation (Module Properties) > Default Module Design must be set before these attributes be utilized.
- A new Site Architecture > Module Designer > Global > Taxonomy Root attribute has been added to most modules. This attribute is used to set up a module designer record where the root taxonomy differs from the module itself. Leave this attribute empty to utilize the value of the related modules Root Taxonomy module property.
- A bug has been repaired in the Marketplace > Configuration > Leads module that returned an error when the sort buttons were clicked in the client console.
- A bug has been repaired that caused an invalid canonical URL meta tag to be display on pre-load splash pages.
Sun, Oct 3, 2010
- The width of the drop down list boxes used for Hour, Minute, Second, and AM/PM in Date/Time attributes has been increased for use in the Safari web browser.
- The Design > Styles > Global > Wrapper Width attribute now supports values as small as 128 pixels.
- Most standard modules have a new module property called “Taxonomy Hidden Items”. Selections made in this property will be hidden in the corresponding modules Taxonomy attribute in the client console. This is intended to facilitate support for a site wide taxonomy that works with module specific taxonomy.
- This new module property may appear in modules when it should not when there are custom module configurations. Update the Hidden Properties of the custom module configuration to include the TaxonomyHiddenItems property to repair this problem.
- Any My Modules that have been developed will automatically include this new module property. If you do not support the taxonomy attribute you should add TaxonomyHiddenItems to the navigation item and/or module configuration’s Hidden Properties.
- If there are selections made under taxonomy items that are hidden using this property they will be maintained and a disabled item called “Inaccessible Items” will display in the Taxonomy attribute. This may cause unpredictable results if the Taxonomy Selection Mode is set to Single. If you must hide previously selected items in a single select taxonomy you should be sure to hide all descendants of all hidden items so that inaccessible items do not have accessible descendants.
- The Staywell scheduled import has been updated to avoid a problem that occurred when the same record was updated twice within the same package.
Mon, Sep 20, 2010
- Login.aspx has been updated to support URL encoded query string variables within its URL query string variable.
- An overlap in the cache keys for the issues view and the current issue script has been repaired. The cache keys for all modules has been updated to be more specific and reduce the chance of this problem in the future.
- The sync process now excludes Root/SiteMap.xml. This file will not be copied or deleted by the sync or update.
- CpScripting now supports commenting by placing "//" at the beginning of the script key. For example [cp:scripting key='//BreadCrumbTrail' /] will not be displayed, but can be left in the client console. It is highly recommended that you do not use HTML comments to remove scripts.
- The Clean Up stored procedure executed by the master has been optimized to run faster and more efficiently. This change will improve the performance of the sync process on sites containing a large amount of data.
- Site Architecture > Navigation now contains an attribute called "Link Audience" that displays when you select the HTML, Module, or Resource page types. It is also in the Home Pages module, but may not function as expected. It is used to display a navigation item in multiple audiences, and control the link so that it always points to the same audience. Selecting the default value (Current Audience) will make the link always reflect the user's current audience as it does now. Selecting a specific audience will cause the link to point to that audience, even when the user is in a different audience. Keep in mind that this attribute controls the link when it is generated by the system, but does not affect the security around the navigation item. When you manually enter a link to the navigation item in an accessible audience other than the Link Audience the page will successfully render.
- The Taxonomy attribute that is included in most modules has been updated to display a maximum of 20 items instead of 10 by default.
- The web site and module searches support the minus and plus characters to exclude or include all results containing the following word respectively. This caused a problem when searching for a word containing a dash because it was treated as a minus forcing it to exclude a portion of the word you were looking for. The search criteria parser has been updated so that a minus is treated as a dash when it is contained within a word and a minus only if it is before a word.
Mon, Sep 6, 2010
- A new CpScript called TaxonomyNavigation has been created to generate an n-tiered taxonomy navigation with document counts at each tier. This script has been documented in the client console Scripting help file.
- The Module Defaults implementation of the Audiences attribute in audience consoles has been modified. Previously, when logged into an audience console, the Audiences attribute ignored the module defaults and always selected the main and current audiences for new records. It now utilizes the values selected in the Module Defaults, but will add the main and current audiences if they are not included. When “All Audiences” is selected in the module defaults the audience consoles still replace it with the main and current audiences.
- A bug in the Forms > Dashboard Modules module that prevented the module grid view from being sorted by Title has been repaired.
- URL validation in the consoles has been updated to permit the pipe (|) character in query strings.
- All taxonomy selectors, including the front end of the site and the client console, are now sorted by the Order attribute of the Taxonomy before being sorted alphabetically.
- The proximity search has been updated to prevent an error that occurred when the generated min/max longitude/latitude was not a number.
- The "View more comments…" link provided by the Comments cp:control has been updated to include the audience system name in the “aud” query string variable. This prevents an error that can occur when this link is clicked in a document that is not accessible in the Main audience.
- The CpScript Web Control utilized by the module designer has been updated to prevent it from rendering opening and closing <span> tags that were breaking the display of CpScripts included in URLs. It is possible that this change causes minor display changes for CpScripts entered via the module designer, but will make them display in the same manner as they would if they were included in any other module.
- The sync process now excludes a folder called Custom within the Console and Console/App_Code directories. This provides the ability to create custom console pages and class libraries within one site. These folders and their files will not be sync’d or deleted by the sync.
- Missing references to CpContent.InsertCache have been located and added.
- A bug that caused search results to appear out of order when Site Architecture > System Pages > Search > Enable Ratings was set to “Yes” has been repaired.
- A new Separator Image attribute has been added to each of the Static, Dynamic, and Level tabs of the Design > Dynamic Navigation module. This attribute allows you to upload an image that will be placed between items, but will not be added before the first or after the last item.
- A new CSS Class called ‘cpsty_SiteSearchTableContainer’ has been applied to the table that makes up the web site search results.
- A new Admin > Global Login > Source has been added for the QuickFill authentication integration.
- The LoginUserName CpScript supports a new property called DisplayNameType that supports the values FullName and Username.
- A new CpScript called HtmlLabel has been developed to display a value without creating a form state field.
- The Development > All Modules module’s Change Attributes view has been updated to support an option to prevent the creation of historical versions for faster updates.
- A new CpScript called DataSourceExportButton has been developed to create export buttons in data sources. It supports all of the features of the Report Builder exports.
Sun, Aug 15, 2010
- Forms management items have been updated to support the removal of an items value manually from the control while still maintaining values on form pages that do not contain the control. Previously when a form control’s value was removed the previous value was remembered so that when the control didn’t exist on a page the value wouldn’t be lost. Now the value is removed when the control exists but is empty, but is retained when the control doesn’t exist at all.
- The select command builder has been updated to include custom attributes.
- A new Mobile Login feature has been added to the system and documented in the System Pages help file. It was designed to allow you to create a login form using CpScripting and forms management.
- CpScripting has been updated to support Custom CpScripts in individual web sites and My CpScripts for clients with their own masters. This change has been documented in the Scripting help file located in the web site consoles. This enhancement includes changes related to how CpScripts are executed, form validators, and form pre-processors.
- A new module called Development > Database has been created for use when developing SQL statements manually. It includes a current and accurate outline of the tables in the current web sites database and their relationships.
- Forms management CpScripts have been updated to support the default value of “cpsys_Constant:CurrentTaxonomy”. This new constant will automatically enter the currently selected TaxonomyId as the form controls value.
- Forms > Forms > General has a new attribute called Display Form Buttons which allows you to disable the automatically generated form buttons completely. With this you can manually enter the form buttons in the Page 1-10 content giving you more control over the look and feel of the buttons.

- The Centralpoint Ecommerce framework is being distributed in this sync but is not ready for use at this time. The cornerstone of this framework is the new Ecommerce > Cart module. This module will not be ready for use until the default record is released.
- New CpScripts
- CartInfo: Will be used to access the ecommerce cart properties and values.
- FormAddToCartButton: Will be used to add records from any module to the cart.
- ColumnImage: Can be placed in a results item content attribute to produce an image tag with the alt and title tags populated via an attribute value.
- AttributeImage: Can be placed in a details item content attribute to produce an image tag with the alt and title tags populated via an attribute value.
- ColumnLink: Used to build an anchor or link in when in a repeated attribute other than the Results View (#2) > Item Content attribute.
- The sync process has been updated to exclude the Root/App_Code/Custom folder. You can now create this folder in any site including custom class files that will exist in only that site. This feature was developed primarily for custom global logins.
- The validation added to password attributes has been updated to accept passwords between 6 and 20 characters in length.
- Validation, processing, and pre-processing has been updated within the forms management framework to support ecommerce, custom form buttons, and repeated forms.
- The Admin > Global Login module now has a new Source option called Custom. This new options allows you to develop a custom class that inherits Centralpoint.WebSite.Modules.ICustomAuthenticationSource and configure it to be called when users log into the web site. Your custom web site authentication class will be used when logging users in on the front end of the site only, and the logged in users will behave like Centralpoint users. When using a custom authentication source all of a single user’s information must be stored in the custom source. You cannot store some of the user’s information in Centralpoint and some in the custom source.
- Some browsers automatically access FavIcon.ico at the root of the site when a user bookmarks a page. For this reason all sites should have this file added manually. The system has been updated to display a default error message when this lookup occurs and no file exists to prevent unnecessary database lookups.
- All uses of the term “Unknown (CDA)” in the client console have been replaced with “Anonymous (Web Site)”. This term refers to a user that has not logged in and is not in the client console.
- The Scheduler has been updated including changes in the master and web site consoles.
- Start Date, End Date, Last Run Date, and Next Run Date are now stored and displayed in the server time as opposed to UTC. This change was made to repair problems caused when the conversion from UTC caused the date and day of the week to change. Be aware that the time entered in these attribute relates to the local time on the server and not your local time.
- The first run date calculation has been separated from the next run date calculation to improve the accuracy of the first run date and maintain the performance of the next run date calculation.
- The Site Architecture > Module Designer module has been updated to support dollar signs ($) in the format parameter of CpScripts.
- The ReplaceWith parameter of the Attribute and Column CpScripts can now be used as a translator when the ReplaceText parameter contains the value 'cpsys_ValueTranslator'. In this case enter a comma separated list of the value translations as follows: '1=Yes,0=No'.
- Admin > System Pages > Login
- A DIV tag has been added around the entire login view and assigned the class "cpsty_LoginBox" so support control over the width and height of the login box.
- A class has been added to the HR tag above the Sign In button called "cpsty_LoginHr".
- Two new Content modules, Generic Plus A and B, have been added as copies of the Generic module. They contain the Taxonomy Subset attributes found in the News, Events, and Physician Directory modules and can be used to display a records taxonomy on the results view.
- The Web Site Search now supports Comment Count and Ratings columns with the search results. These columns can be enabled from the Admin > System Pages > Search module and are currently not supported in individual module searches.
- There is a new view in the module designer for the Content > Events module which allows you to design and display a Calendar Month View.
- We have created a new Blog module suite including Bloggers and Topics modules. These modules will not be enabled in any site until the new navigation items are selected in the related master.
Sun, Jul 18, 2010
- A bug has been repaired in the BreadCrumbTrail CpScript’s CssClass property that caused it to fail to display when the Format property was not used.
- A new module called HealthDay > News has been released and integrated with HealthDay which requires a subscription. This module will not be enabled in any site until the new navigation items are selected in the related master.
- The A.D.A.M. > Drug Notes module has been updated to support changes to the integration source.
Mon, Jul 5, 2010
- A bug that prevented the DynamicNavigation CpScript from working on home pages has been repaired.
- The system has been updated to support proximity searches over modules containing more than one address. This feature has been implemented into the Content > Physician Directory module, but the related Site Architecture > Module designer record must be re-submitted to apply this change.
- The Attribute and Column CpScripts have been updated to support values that do not match the data type passed in the DataType property by returning the empty string instead of an error message.
- Click.aspx has been updated to report a WebSiteException containing “Click.aspx” in the message when this page is passed an invalid URL. Please check the Development > Errors module periodically when Click.aspx is used dynamically with a URL that is retrieved from a module. You can use the URL attribute of the error to determine the problem and find the related record.
- The Site Architecture > Navigation & Home Pages > URL attribute has been updated to dynamically generate the audience portion of a URL that points to another Navigation or Home Pages record when the URL begins with “/cpsys_Audience/”. This constant will not work if it is not at the beginning of the URL or if the URL does not relate to another record in the Navigation or Home Pages module. You cannot use this constant when working with a URL that points to a physical file in the current site or to a different domain.
- The standard Home View (#1) has been updated to sort data that is displayed under a single taxonomy item by the record Title.
- The Advertising > Ad Tracking > Banners module has been updated to record all new clicks in the Stats > Clicks module. All clicks before this update are still available in the old reports and all new clicks will be available in the new reports and the Stats > Clicks module.
- The Staywell Products Import has been updated to support manual modification of records by creating drafts instead of replacing modified records.
- The automatic GeoCode generation feature included in some modules has been updated to exit gracefully without generating a GeoCode when a record is created via a URL with no corresponding Google Maps API Key.
Sun, Jun 20, 2010
- Two new properties have been added to the BreadCrumbTrail CpScript: CssClass and Format. The CssClass property is applied to the div, but CSS references to items can be made indirectly through the anchor tags: ".ClassName a { font-weight: bold; }".
- A new property called UniqueIdColumn has been added to all form item CpScripts. When this property is set to a column name, like AutoNumber, the module designer will utilize ReplaceDataCpScripting instead of ReplaceCpScripting so that the form group can include the unique identifier retrieved from the data variable. This will make it possible for forms to be included in repeated item attributes, like Results View (#2) > Item Content, where each row behaves as a different form. This new property will be utilized for the “Add To Cart” buttons in eCommerce.
- A new property called FormatStringEscape has been added to the Attribute and Column CpScripts. It is used when the result of the CpScript contains { or } and is formatted using String.Format. This commonly occurs in the Site Architectures > System Pages > Search > Results Item Content attribute when the Summary of a record contains { or }.
- The files __utm.js and __utm.gif in the web site Root folder have been excluded from future sync’s to support Urchin Traffic Monitor integrations.
- A new CpScript called FormInfoAttributeValue gets the value of the specified attribute if the fdid query string variable is use in forms management.
Sun, Jun 6, 2010
- A new module called Site Architecture > System Pages has been released to provide control over static and design elements of hard coded pages like Login and Search. This module will not be enabled in any site until the new navigation items are selected in the related master.
- This sync includes a method that will check all previous sync methods and ensure that they executed. Sync methods are used to execute database and system changes unrelated to typical sync’d elements.
- The system has been updated to detect invalid times caused by daylight savings time and add an hour to make them valid.
- A file named “.htaccess” placed in the Root of the web site will now be excluded from the sync. It will not be deleted or copied from parent to child.
- A new module suite called Education has been released. The modules in this suite will not be enabled in any site until they are selected in the related master. The help file for these modules outline their use in more detail.
Sun, May 23, 2010
- A new ReplaceDataCpScripting method has been added to the Page and UserControl base class to support a new Column CpScript. This new CpScript allows us to retrieve column values in repeated (Item Content) attributes from standard modules or views other than Site Architecture > Module Designer > Results View (#2). For consistency, the [cp:column key='ColumnName' /] script has been depreciated in the module designer in favor of [cp:scripting key='Column' systemName='ColumnName' /]. All module designer defaults have been updated to support this change, but existing records will still utilize the old scripts.
- The File Upload control used from custom and CMS attributes has been repaired to support the Type of “None”. This change also applies to forms management upload controls.
- The Tiered Selector control which is used for the Taxonomy and Audience Selectors has been updated to support disabled controls in Firefox. This applies to both client console and forms management.
- A new tool called URL Encoding has been added to the Development > Utilities module in the client console. This tool can be used to encode or decode a string so that it can be passed to another URL as the value of a query string variable.
- A new module called Stats > Clicks has been released. This module will not be enabled until the Stats group, and the new navigation items are selected in the related master. This module is designed to count and report on links in the site. Some modules, like Broadcasts, will be automatically tracked, but it can also be used to track links manually. Please refer to the module help file for more information.
- The conversion from UTC dates to the local time zone and vice-versa has been updated to support the SQL Min and Max date boundaries. The conversion is no longer attempted or executed when values outside these boundaries are utilized.
- The system has been updated to support ASPX pages that are not referenced from the SiteMap (Home Pages & Navigation) module but still contain the context of the site with the navigation closed. To implement one of these pages you simply set this.IsSiteMapNode to false in the OnPreInit method of the page before calling base.OnPreInit.
- The JavaScript generated by the Advertising > Ad Tracking > Zones module has been updated to utilize a fully qualified URL so banners can be utilized in other sites.
- A new Geo Codes tool has been added to Development > Import Utilities. It can be used to generate Geo Codes for records in any module with address attributes.
Sun, May 9, 2010
- Master > Content > Scheduled Tasks
- The next run date is now calculated based on a combination of the last run date and the time portion of the start date as opposed to the last run date alone.
- The system has been updated to support scheduled tasks executed directly from web site modules.
- The scheduler now only executes one master task per web service call. This was implemented to prevent problems that are a result of one task expecting a change made in a previous task.
- The Development > Errors module has been updated to hide the values of form elements containing the words “password”, “cardnumber”, or “secure”. Be sure that the id of the form element contains one of these words if you are creating a form element and do not want the value to be included in this module. This module also now displays the full date and time in the Create Date column of the grid view.
- Master > Content > Web Sites > Related Backups has been repaired to accurately display the backups for the currently selected site.
- It was recently discovered that web sites are utilizing the master connection string used for the activation of Centralpoint on a new server instead of the actual master connection string. While this works in most cases it may cause problems when the master connection string changes.
- The activation process has been updated to change the master connection string in the development web site after it is created.
- The Master > Admin > Settings module has been updated to update the web.config of all web sites when the execute connection string changes. The Web Site > Console > Admin > Settings modules no longer allows changes to the master connection string.
- A sync invoked method is included in this update that will modify the master connection string of all web sites.
- The shared method used to insert and update Centralpoint documents has been enhanced to handle single document relation population errors. These errors are typically caused when module configuration is used to hide a required and/or validated attribute, and causes more serious problems if changes are made to the relation in the future. The new error handling includes a more detailed error message and moves the invalid document to the related module’s Recently Deleted documents. The document can typically be restored by using module configuration to display the problem attribute and selecting a valid value before restoring the document.
- The error handling around dynamic control creation (Custom Attributes and Console Triggers) has been updated to help pinpoint the cause of the problem.
Sun, Apr 25, 2010
- A new Admin > Properties attribute called Footer Elements has been added. This attributes can be used to add HTML elements to the bottom of every page in the site. This attribute supports CpScripts that are executed just before the page renders, therefore, they have access to all of the page’s initialized properties.
- We’ve updated the attribute CpScript to reference properties of the current document in addition to standard attributes. They are accessed just like standard attributes using the following attribute names: AutoNumber, BatchId, CreateDate, DataId, ModifyDate, and ModuleId.
- The system method that automatically generates system names removes leading numbers because system names cannot begin with a number. A new feature has been added to determine when a source string contains only numbers and surrounds the number with ‘n’ for numeric so that the default ‘Blank’ system name is not used. By adding a ‘n’ before and after the number, generated duplicate system names also support numeric suffixes without affecting the original number.
- The Admin > Properties > Google Maps API Key attribute has been updated to support unique keys per URL. When the same site is hosted on multiple URLs each URL must be listed separately with its key in the following format: http://www.domain.com=KEY. Multiple URLs are separated with new lines.
- Advertising > Ad Tracking > Zones has a new attribute called Keyword Specific. The banners are filtered by the current details view keywords when ‘Yes’ is selected.
Sun, Apr 11, 2010
- The CpAttributeSwitch control that is used to create standard module attributes that show and hide other attributes has been updated to support nested CpAttributeSwitch attributes. This will allow us to create modules with more complex logic and make those modules more user friendly because they will only display the attributes that are required based on your previous selections.
- All Uber web services have been updated to report errors to the Uber > Development > Errors module to improve tracking of host and group changes.
- A bug in the standard module archived data view has been repaired that caused the view to fail to sort by archive date.
- A bug in the Master > CMS > Keywords list has been repaired that returned an error when an inherited keyword list was visited by id or the details were inspected.
- Web Site Console: Members and Site Architecture > Administrators
- Details > Display Name and Contact > Cell Phone Provider attributes have been added. They will be primarily used for data broadcast.
- Publish Start & End Date attributes have been added. They can be used to prevent a users from logging into the web site before or after they are published. These attributes are also supported in forms management.
- The email containing a Member’s credentials that is generated by the client console when the member is created no longer contains a link to the client console login page.
- These modules now support the release=1 query string variable so that users can be automatically released via a forms management generated email. They also support notify=UserId to notify the creator that the new member has been approved.
- A bug in the Content > News module that caused the grid view sort buttons to return an error has been repaired.
- A new Design > Data Sources module and corresponding DataSource CpScript have been released. These tools can be used connect to internal or external data sources and format the data within Centralpoint.
Sun, Mar 28, 2010
- A bug in the forms management file upload that caused the remove button to fail has been repaired.
- Additional caching has been added to all CpScripts that reference a record by DataId. This includes modules like Dashboards, Dynamic Scripts, and more.
- The link to the login page included in the request your password email generated on the web site login page has been repaired.
- A new module called Design > Dynamic Navigation has been released. This module is used to create and design a DHTML menu based on the current site map (Navigation module). The help file for this module outlines its use in more detail. This module will not be available in any site until it is selected in the related master.
- A new module property called Custom Styles has been added to the Design > Mobile Navigation module. It can be used to define CSS classes that can be referenced within the mobile navigation. These classes will be added to the page so their names must be globally unique.
- The Attribute CpScript now supports ReplaceText and ReplaceWith parameters which can be used to make replacements in the attribute value before they are rendered to the page. All occurrences of the value in ReplaceText will be replaced with the value in ReplaceWith.
- A new constant ‘cpsys_Apos’ can now be used within the parameter of a CpScript to pass in an apostrophe (single quote). In the past it was impossible to pass in an apostrophe without breaking the script because apostrophes are used to delimit the parameter values.
Sun, Mar 14, 2010
- The increased console security released in version 8.0.29 caused the View Report links in the Reporting > Report Builder module to fail. These links have been repaired.
- An earlier update package included a change to the scheduler that used a file based lock to prevent overlapping scheduled jobs when the master application was restarted. Occasionally, this lock file has been orphaned by server failures or reboots. To resolve this problem the locking mechanism has been updated to expire if it has been there for more than 6 hours.
- A bug has been repaired which caused the Publishing > Articles module to return an error when you executed a Whole Phrase search over the Issue Id field with a search string that was not a valid Guid to return an error.
- The options available in the Admin > RTF Editor > Skin attribute have been updated. The Gray and Inox skins have been removed and Forest, Simple and Windows 7 have been added.
- You can now control the format of the browser title bar for home pages and navigation items independently using the module properties in the Site Architecture > Home Pages & Navigation modules.
- The Editor has been updated so that it no longer replaces fully qualified URLs within the same site with root relative URLs. It was determined that this was only a problem with the Media Manager dialog, so the replacements now only occur for specific URLs. These replacements have also been updated so that they now support SSL connections.
- Admin > Properties > Web Site Logout Redirect has been updated to work more predictable with the LogoutStatus script and the options and help file have been rewritten to describe these features.
- The Reports > Report Builder > File Name attribute is now validated to ensure that it contains a unique value. Please review all existing records in this module to ensure the file names are unique because duplicate file names cause the related notifications to fail.
- The Advertising > Ad Tracking > Banners > Roles attribute contained an unwanted “Please Select…” option that was removed. This option was added by a glitch in the Master > CMS > Modules > Attributes view which has been repaired.
- The Site Architecture > Navigation & Home Pages modules have a new attribute called "Nav Groups" that works with a property named “NavGroups” supported by all web site CpScripts. The "Site Map Nav Groups" keyword list can be populated with a series of keywords with mutually exclusive values. When the NavGroups property of a CpScript is set to a comma separated list of Site Map Nav Group values, the script will return the empty string when not on a site map item (Navigation & Home Pages) with at least one of the provided Nav Groups selected. When the NavGroups property is excluded the CpScript is displayed on all pages.
- The Advertising > Advertisers modules now provides two new options for including advertisers on specific site map items (Navigation & Home Pages).
- If you select Navigation Specific under the Page Type attribute you are now provided with a new option called Include Children. Selecting ‘Yes’ will include the advertiser on all selected navigation items and their children. This does not include all descents of the selected navigation items, only children.
- A new Page Type option named “Nav Groups” now exists and exposes a multi select keyword list when selected. This keyword list can be managed individually in all sites and is also included in the Navigation and Home Pages modules new Nav Groups attributes. An advertiser will display on all site map items (Navigation & Home Pages) with overlapping Nav Groups when this new Page Type is selected.
- A bug in the web site reset your password feature has been found and repaired. This feature now resets the user’s password and emails the correct new password to the user. This feature has also been updated to support Global Logins.
- Marketplace > Configuration > Packages contains a new attribute called Maximum Category Limit which works with a new forms management validator called TaxonomyByPackage. This validator can be set up to validate a taxonomy control to ensure that it contains fewer than the maximum category limit for the current package.
Mon, Mar 1, 2010
- Previously, when the Module Defaults were submitted in any module the current date would be trapped in the Publish Start Date attribute. We recently discovered that you couldn’t even manually remove this dynamically generated value because it would be replaced again immediately. To resolve this problem we have updated the dynamic attribute generator to replace the date time control with a standard text box on Module Defaults pages only.
- A bug has been repaired in the BreadCrumbTrail CpScript that caused the path from the root taxonomy to the current taxonomy to be excluded or incorrect in some cases.
- Site Architecture > Module Designer > Home View (#1) > Taxonomy Display > Categories
- The Modules.Page.TaxonomyInfo property has been updated to grant Categories views all of the privileges of a standard Taxonomy view. This means when you are on a categories view the Title tag will include the category name just as if it were a Taxonomy view. This has also affected the BreadCrumbTrail CpScript and all other references to the current TaxonomyInfo object.
- The Taxonomy Display attribute has been moved above the Header Content attribute for all modules that support this attribute. When Categories is selected you now get Home Header/Footer Content and Category Header/Footer Content. This allows you to display different header and footer content on the home and category pages.
- A new “views” parameter can be added to any web site CpScript with a comma separated list of the view types (MultiView.xml) on which the CpScript should be displayed. If this parameter is excluded or set to the empty string the CpScript will display on all views. A common use of this parameter would be to add views=’home’ to a CpScript so that it will only display on module home pages.
- The HTML Editor displayed in all consoles has been updated to include a custom CSS file instead of the using the client console styles. All console styles have been removed from the editor except for the page padding and font.
- All references to the console navigation from within the client console attributes have been updated to consider Uber group selections.
- A bug in the Sponsored Keywords implementation that prevented it from making multiple replacements within a single HTML element has been repaired.
- The way the client console references the Uploads and PrivateLabeling directories has been changed from virtual directories to root relative paths. This change was made to prevent precompilation errors related to files in the Uploads folder that do not work in the client console.
- The Development > Console Navigation module has been updated to support custom first tier console navigation including custom icons.
- All Telerik web controls, including the RTF editor and file upload, have been upgraded to the latest build of the Q3 2009 release.
- The Site Architecture > Module Designer has been redeveloped to generate both the ASPX and code behind files. This will allow implementation and efficiency changes in the related user controls without requiring module designer record re-submissions. When changes are made, existing module designer records will continue to work as before and the changes will be applied when the record is re-submitted. Oxcyon will be organizing a onetime re-submission of all module designer records once version 8.0.29 is installed which must be completed before version 8.0.30 is installed.
Mon, Feb 15, 2010
- The BreadCrumbTrail CpScript has a new property called "ShowRootItem". Setting this property to false will cause the bread crumb trail to exclude the root or "Home" item. We’ve also added support for the Home View (#1) category query string variable to the bread crumb trail.
- A new module designer script called ProximitySearch has been developed and documented in the Module Designer help file. A proximity search is a search conducted over a specified distance from any given location. Although this proximity search can be added to any module it will only work with modules that have a GeoCode attribute and the related Latitude and Longitude fields in the Relation. You can also use the Column script within a results item with the column name ‘cpsys_Distance’ to display the distance of the result from the given location. The distance column includes the units used in the search which can be aliased. This column will only display when a proximity search is conducted.
- The Scheduled Tasks implementation has been modified to use a text file to prevent execution overlap as opposed to standard application based locks. This change allows the scheduler to prevent overlaps even when the application is restarted and prevents a backlog of executions.
- A difference in the way an error is reported by IIS as opposed to the .NET Framework caused Admin > Error Messages to fail to execute 404 redirects from .NET Framework pages. This problem has been resolved and all system 404 redirects have been updated.
- A SearchResults property has been added to the BreadCrumbTrail CpScript. When this property is set to a string it will be appended to the end of the trail when a search is executed. This property does not apply when the current taxonomy is included in the trail. By default this property is empty and has no effect on the trail.
- A new module suite called Reports 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 build and organize reports based on module content or any other database connection. Reports can be built using the Reports > Report Builder module. You can view and export (Tab Delimited or Excel XML) report content by clicking on the View button in the Report Builder grid view. You can also copy the View link to the Development > Console Navigation module to create custom Reports navigation items. The help file for these modules outlines their use in more detail.
- A new console popup has been developed called the Select Command Builder and has been integrated into the header text of the Reports > Report Builder > Select Command attribute. This popup can be used to build SQL select commands for standard modules including all Relation columns and Module attributes. It also includes a few system filters that can be easily added to select commands.
- A new Job has been added to the Master > Content > Scheduled Tasks module called Notifications. A daily task to run this job on all web sites has been automatically created and added to all sites. This job is designed to interact with modules supporting the Notifications interface and send emails accordingly. Only the Reports > Report Builder module currently inherits the Notifications interface.
Mon, Jan 25, 2010
- 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.
Mon, Dec 28, 2009
- The web site Page base class has a new property called MetaRobots that can be set to the contents of the robots meta tag. This new property has been utilized by various web site pages like the printer friendly version, splash pages, and email a friend form to prevent them from being spidered by search engines and causing search results with duplicate meta information.
- Attribute CpScripts entered into Site Architecture > Module Designer > Details View (#3) now support a custom parameter called ExecuteCpScriptsInResult. When set to “true” this parameter will cause CpScripts to be replaced within in the attribute contents before they are rendered to the page. You cannot add this parameter to other CpScripts or in other modules or views to get them to execute CpScripts recursively. The primary purpose of this parameter is for use with the Navigation module Content attribute when it is set up in the Module Designer with the Use Navigation Content attribute set to “No”. This new parameter has been documented in the Module Designer help file.
- The BreadCrumbTrail CpScript has been updated to use the new TaxonomyInfo property of Modules.Page which will cause it to only display on results views and to more efficiently display a deep taxonomy path.
- The Site Architecture > Taxonomy custom module has a new tab called Header Tags that works similarly to the Header Tags tab in the Site Architecture > Audiences module. This tab allows you to manage the Meta information (keywords, description, etc.) for taxonomy landing pages. A taxonomy landing page is any standard module Results View (#2) when there is only one current taxonomy item selected. The current taxonomy item may be selected using any of the supported search features like the query string, form state, the module search, etc. This change required the addition of a system taxonomy properties file which allows us to extend the properties stored within taxonomy at any time simply by changing the related file. Client sites can also have custom taxonomy properties merged with the system taxonomy properties, like custom attributes, using Admin > Properties > Taxonomy Properties File.
- Form State encoding, used with Forms Management, has been updated to only encode less than (<) and greater than (>) symbols as opposed to all HTML. These symbols must be encoded to allow the Form State XML to make it through ASP.NET Form Validation, however, when all HTML was encoded it was forcing European characters to get encoded and cause a validation exception. We are hoping that this change allows the ASP.NET Form Validation to do its job with the exception of the Form State XML. Since this change affects all Forms Management forms, some existing forms may behave differently than before this update.
- Integration Id and Order attributes have been added to the Site Architecture > Taxonomy module. The Order attribute is used to sort taxonomy items within the parent item. This attribute will default to a value of 100 for all existing records maintaining the current sort order and allowing you to insert items before or after existing items. Taxonomy items are sorted by Order, then Name within their parent item. The Integration Id attribute was added to store the original identifier of taxonomy items imported from external systems.

- The sync, update installation, and restore processes have been updated to use an App_Offline.htm file to take the sites offline instead of using IIS. This permits us to use display a message while the site is offline, and will allow the site to successfully sync when it is not set up properly in IIS.
- Additional error handling has been added to the scheduled sync to help determine the cause of failed scheduled syncs.
- All 301 redirects have been updated to use fully qualified URLs to help search spiders access the site.
- The installer program has been enhanced to run faster, be more informative, look cleaner, include more accurate progress notification, and handle errors better.
- The old installer will no longer work and should not be used.
- The new installer will only work with version 8.0.25 and later.
- Includes support for host headers with the master web site in IIS.
- The installation package download has been removed from the package and can even be done manually. To speed up the installation you can manually download the latest installation package from http://www.aranon.net/Uploads/Updates/Centralpoint_v8.*.*.zip. Manually create the Centralpoint folder and place the installation file within before running the installer program.
- Changes have been made to the Activation, Deployment, Update, Backup, and Restore processes so that Centralpoint can be installed and run in a dual server environment. These processes now all support a new Master > Admin > Properties attribute name “SQL Server to Centralpoint UNC Path”. Running Centralpoint with a separate SQL server may speed up sites, but it will slow down these and other process based on network permissions, speed and interference.
- A bug has been repaired in the Site Architecture > Module Designer module that caused an error to be displayed when a record was submitted by a user who did not have access to the related module.
- A bug has been repaired in the Media popup displayed from the RTF editor. It only occurred when a new file was uploaded and the Select button was clicked on the upload view which caused a system name to be generated and used without validation. If the same system name had been generated 10 times previously it would cause a duplicate system name and an error message would be displayed. Now, when a duplicate system name is generated, the user is redirected to a view allowing them to manually change the system name and prevent the problem.
- A bug has been repaired in the console grid view search over automatically generated id fields that caused an error to be returned when the keywords were not a valid GUID.
- New items have been added to Admin > Template Gallery for commonly used forms and the creation of a marketplace dashboard.
- The Dynamic Scripts CpScript now supports format strings (e.g. format='<div>{0}</div>')
- Marketplace Comparison is completed and ready for use.
Mon, Nov 30, 2009
- The Update and Sync processes have been modified to collect errors that are thrown during unnecessary events, but those unnecessary events no longer cause the Update and Sync to fail. This will improve the success rate of these processes on problematic servers.
- A new property called RootTaxonomyId has been added to the TaxonomyTree cp:control available in the module designer. This property allows you to change the root taxonomy id of the taxonomy tree if it differs from the modules root taxonomy id.
- The Development > Errors modules in all consoles have been updated to include additional details and the contents of the current details have been refined. Additional exception handling and exclusions have also been added to increase the relevancy of reported errors.
- Previously, the sync and update processes deleted files not present in the parent site. This has been updated so that they do not delete files noted as excluded in the Sync.xml file regardless of whether or not they exist in the parent site.
- The sync process will no longer delete custom folders in the web sites local folder (cpweb_), nor will it delete FavIcon.ico from the Root folder.
- All Telerik web controls, including the RTF editor and file upload, have been upgraded to the Q3 2009 release.
- The Keywords Attribute and Summary Attribute module configurations can now be set to a comma separated list of attributes used to populate the Keywords and Summary attributes respectively. The keywords and summary attributes are used to populate the meta keywords and meta description on a module details view (#3). These attribute values will be appended until a maximum length of 512 characters is reached. They are only populated upon submission of a record in a standard client console module, and must be populated manually by custom modules, custom integrations, and data imports. The module configurations must be set before content is created, because changing these attributes will not affect records already in the module.
- A new CpScript called SiteMapInfo has been created and documented in the Scripting help file. It is designed to retrieve attribute information from the current navigation or home page.
- CpScripting has been updated to support a new “Roles” property. This property is supported in cp:scripting and cp:column elements on the front end of the web site only. These elements may be placed in any attribute that supports CpScripting including the module designer. When the property is set to a comma separated list of role system names, the script will return the empty string unless the current user belongs to one of the included roles. Excluding this property, leaving it empty, or including the “Everyone” role will cause the script to display for all users. Including the “Private” role will cause the script to display for all authenticated (logged in) users regardless of their roles.
- Master > Deployment > Web Sites has been updated to include a Host Header attribute. This allows you to optionally use a host header value when creating a web site in IIS instead of just an IP address. This same feature has been added to the Activation process for the development web site.
- A new client console module called Admin > Template Gallery has been added to manage template records for all modules. As we add templates to the gallery they can be installed in any site simply by clicking the records title.
Mon, Nov 16, 2009
- The standard file upload popup window has been enhanced with light security. This allows its use in forms management, but prevents its use when the opener is not the same page or JavaScript is disabled. This page and all other integrations are also no longer accessible to robots.
- The URL rewriting HttpModule used on the front end of the site has been updated to support a query string variable (rewrite=no) to prevent rewrites. It also does not rewrite URLs when the first directory exists in the file system, even if that directory is also the system name of an audience. The Site Architecture > Audiences module now validates the System Name attribute to ensure that you do not create an audience where the system name is equal to the name of a folder at the root of the site.
- A bug in the sync process related to the Console folder has been repaired. Previously, changes made to non-synchronized files and sub-folders would be synchronized if the files had been modified in the parent site. This caused changes submitted in the Admin > RTF Editor module to be lost after a sync that occurred after changes were made to this module in the parent site. This problem will not be officially repaired until version 8.0.24.
- A new utility called “SQL Non-Query” has been added to Master > Development > Utilities. This utility allows us to execute non-query SQL statements on one or more database within a master with a single button click. This is commonly used for debugging and situation resolution. It is a non-reversible, highly technical utility that should only be used by experienced Centralpoint developers.
- A bug in the Roles and Users modules has been repaired that caused the checkboxes displayed on the grid views to return an error when clicked.
- A bug in the login form has been repaired that caused the enter key press event to submit the search instead of the login form when the search occurred before the login form on the page and used an image button for submission.
- The file upload button maximum file size has been increased to 50 megabytes.
- We are releasing a new sync feature that allows us to execute custom methods during an update installation or sync. With this feature we can modify the structure of the database or file system beyond the sync’d elements and even add new sync’d elements within an update release. If the site being sync’d is more than one version behind its parent, the updates will all occur in order when the site is sync’d. These methods will also be executed when a backup from an older version is restored and sync’d to the current version.
- We have added a way to manually download update packages due to problems some servers have had downloading the archive file. After update version 8.0.23 has been successfully installed, subsequent updates will provide instructions to manually download the update archive in Development > Process Log when the automated download fails.
- A bug that caused the image resizing component to fail on 1 pixel images has been repaired.
- The new Design > Styles > Global > Drop Shadow attribute allows us to add a drop shadow (glow) to a static width site by simply enabling the feature, entering the width, and uploading three images.
- A new script has been added to CpScripting called FormStateAction and has been documented in the help file. It allows the execution of custom actions on form state objects.
- The CpScripting UserInfo script can now return a list of users RoleIds.
Mon, Nov 2, 2009
- The “Hidden Features” module configuration now has two new values: “Form: Save Draft Button” and “Form: Save/Finish/Restore Button (Disable)”. These values are used to create a read only module by disabling the save button and/or the save draft button.
- The Members and Site Architecture > Administrators modules have been updated to more clearly clarify the difference between these two modules. The Accessible Audiences attribute now always display two checkboxes, web site and console, regardless of the users audience posting mode personalization setting. There is also new header text that describes that checking the second (right hand) checkbox will cause the user to become a console administrator and move them from Members to Site Architecture > Administrators. The same changes have been made to Admin > Roles.
- The installation tool has been modified so that it does not activate all scheduled tasks upon installation. Previously, some custom scheduled tasks developed for one server were enabled on other servers. We can now determine which scheduled tasks should be enabled by default in a new installation.
- We have added progress notification to our bulk copy methods used to import data into modules. Previously, when a large amount of data was imported into a module it executed without notification. Now you can be notified after a specified number of records so that you know that the process has not stalled.
- Security exceptions caused by URLs that are not activated within the parent master or uber console now send an email to serveradmin@oxcyon.com and Admin > Settings > Error Notification Email instead of reporting an error to uber. The error message displayed has also been modified to alert the user to contact the site administrator.
- It was determined that the Design > Styles > Sub Nav > Font Color attribute was not being utilized by the site navigation. To repair this problem the system name of the attribute was changed which will cause the attribute to lose its value after the sync. This should not cause any changes to the existing sites since the value was not utilized in the first place.
- A bug in the Aliases implementation has been repaired that prevented aliases from being deleted once a site was moved from one server to another. The same fix was applied to Keywords, Triggers, and Console Navigation.
- Centralpoint authentication in all consoles and web sites has been modified to store and reference the user’s unique identifier (UserId) instead of their user name. We’ve also add a database level distinction between local users, authentication within Centralpoint, and users that are created by integration authentication sources. This allowed us to remove the unique validation from the user’s email address and change the unique validation on the user’s name so that it only requires uniqueness within local users. These changes were made to support users from different authentication sources that may have the same user name. All features of all users modules have been affected by this change.
- The web site CleanUp utility that is executed by the sync or manually using Development > Utilities has been updated to remove orphaned records from the survey submission tables. It has also been updated to reapply all necessary file system permissions during the sync, update, and scheduled executions.
- The Admin > Global Login module has been completed including the Centralpoint and Active Directory authentication sources. Until new authentication sources are created, all web sites will continue to use Centralpoint authentication. The details of this module are outlined in the help file: http://www.aranon.net/Integrations/Centralpoint/Articles/Article.aspx?id=2f4049f7-190a-4b1d-837d-ace72cdfa56f.
- The Surveys module suite is officially released.
- The StayWell integration and module suite is officially released.
- Forms > Dashboard Modules now allows you to select either a web site navigation item or a standard module as the source. This will allow you to create dashboards containing modules that don’t have a web site user interface or navigation reference.
- Forms > Forms > Processing now supports custom integrations via the Integration Type attribute. We have also completed the Pay Flow Pro (PayPal) integration.
Sun, Oct 11, 2009
- A site property has been added at Admin / Properties / Web Site Default Page Redirect with two options: Standard (301), Screen Scrape (No Forms). The default value of this property will be Standard (301), meaning that all sites will revert to redirecting to “/Main/Home.aspx”. This change was made when it was found that the screen scrape implementation does not work with forms. If you have a site that does not use forms on the home page and they do not want the redirect, you can change this setting immediately after the site is sync’d. The redirect from the default page to the home page was also changed to a 301 redirect.
- Web Site (Data) Roles: The entire implementation of roles selected using the Roles attribute in standard modules in the client console has changed.
- The role system name has been removed from the URL everywhere in the site. The system URL is now formatted as follows: /AudienceSystemName/SiteMapItemSystemName[/DocumentIdentifier].aspx.
- The Public and Private role system names are still supported in the URL for backward compatibility.
- Search and replaces should be executed after the next sync to remove /Public/ from the content of each web site. The following searches should be executed using Development > All Modules and Site Architecture > Module Designer, because the latter is not a standard module.
- For each audience in your site you should search for “/AudienceSystemName/Public/” and replace it with “/AudienceSystemName/”.
- For each audience in your site you should search for “/AudienceSystemName/Private/” and replace it with “/AudienceSystemName/”.
- Search for “RoleInfo” and if it exists as a part of a CpScript the reference should be removed. Pages no longer have a concept of a current role, therefore, the RoleInfo CpScript will no longer work.
- The systems URL generation tools have been rewritten to generate the new system URL.
- All custom URL references have been individually rewritten to utilize the new format.
- The system login and logout features have been updated to only set the users authentication status instead of setting the users current role. All references to a user’s current role have been removed from the system.
- The role names have been updated to more adequately display the system roles and their special functionality.
- Everyone: All Users
- Public: Logged Out / Anonymous Users
- Private: Logged In / Authenticated Users
- Authenticated users will now also see a combination of all of the content posted to any of the custom roles to which they have access. For example, if a user has access to the custom roles Sample 1 and Sample 2, their navigation (and content) will display data posted to Everyone, Private, Sample1 or Sample2 when the user is logged in (authenticated).
- The IsInRole SQL function references have been updated accordingly.
- CpContent’s role filter generation has been updated using the new implementation. All references to this method have been reviewed and rewritten where necessary.
- CpCache has been rewritten to only cache public content. Private content is no longer cached because it is different depending on the current users roles. All direct references to CpCache have been reviewed and rewritten where necessary.
- The standard module Home View (#1) taxonomy display containing content has been rewritten to filter and cache appropriately.
- The web site search has been updated to implement role filtration appropriately for single module search and multiple module searches.
- All references to module abstracts have been updated to utilize role filtration appropriately.
- The resource HttpHandler has been rewritten to utilize role filtration appropriately.
- The Role attribute has been removed from the Site Architecture / Home Pages because all audiences must have one and only one home page. They cannot have different home pages based on the users roles or authentication (logged in) status.
- The site map has been redesigned so that there is only one site map per audience. This site map is filtered to display a different navigation based on the current user’s permissions.
- Site Architecture > Audiences > Company has a new attribute called “Accessible Roles”. This allows you to designate that an audience will only be accessible to users with a specific role or roles. This will cause the filtration of the AudienceMenu CpScript and will force users visiting inaccessible audiences to be redirected to the login.
- The page security and the initialization of context items have been rewritten. Navigation items, documents, and audiences are now verified using the new role implementation and users without the appropriate permissions are redirected to the login.
- Design > Styles: The Role attribute in this module has been limited to Everyone, Public, and Private. This was done to support client side caching of the style sheet for performance reasons. Each audience can now have a one design (Everyone), or separate Public and Private designs.
- When the Integration Id attribute is used in a module, a document can now be accessed with the following URL: /AudienceSystemName/SiteMapSystemName.aspx?iid=IntegrationId. This is primarily utilized in integrations like Staywell to prevent URL translation to auto numbers. The canonical URL meta tag is also properly implemented in this scenario.
- Development > All Modules (AKA: Admin > Search All Modules): Has been updated and now includes working Delete Records, Search & Replace, and Attribute Changer features.
- Database modifications have been made to support the Survey Manager module suite.
- All Site Map related modules (Site Architecture, Site Architecture > Home Pages, Site Architecture > Navigation) have two new attributes which are hidden by default using module configuration: Browser Title & Navigation Display Name. Any sites that have submitted custom module configuration in any of these modules may see these attributes by default due to their customizations. The old attribute “Name as it appears on site” attribute has been renamed “Title” and will be used when values are not entered into “Browser Title” or “Navigation Display Name”. The title attribute is also used as the title in the page content when the Page Type attribute is set to HTML.
- The “Audience Display” selector in standard module grid views has been modified. When a selection is made it filters the records by audiences on which the document will display as opposed to audiences in which the document is editable. This prevents a problem where you could not use the selector to filter by the Main audience because all records are always editable in the main audience.
- The Media Manager popup within the editor now displays the “Click here to replace the file associated with this resource.” link when the administrator has access to the Design > Media Manager module.
- Attribute names displayed in the form view of all modules are now underlined when the attribute name is linked to a help file (Tool Tip URL).
- You can now change your Account Settings > Personalization > Display System Names to “Yes” to see attribute system names in parenthesis after the attribute name on standard module update pages in the client console: “Attribute Name (AttributeSystemName):”. This personalization option also enables audience, taxonomy, and role system names in the standard module selectors.
- Uber now treats HttpRequestValidationErrors by automatically posting them to the web sites error console. These errors protect the sites from attacks and can be reviewed in the web site console to determine the number of attack attempts or accidental occurrences that can be avoided.
- It was recently discovered that if a user disables the audience navigation item using the Site Architecture > Audiences > Console Navigation attribute, they may not be able to enable it again. To remedy this problem we’ve added a backdoor into the audiences module for Ancestor Admins only. If you are an Ancestor Admin and you visit “/Console/Audiences.aspx?sitemap=off” you will see the audiences module even if it is disabled in the current audience console.
- All Users (Members, Site Architecture > Administrators, etc.) modules in the client console have been updated so that administrators can initialize other users passwords. Users who are ancestor admins or in the role “Admins” can set or change a users password and choose whether the initial password is stored in plain text and/or email to the user.
- We’ve increased the command timeout used by the search on the client console module list (grid) view. Previously, this search timed out after 1.5 minutes and it now has 5 minutes to complete. This change is required only for “All Attributes” search over modules containing a very large number of records.
- The web site cleanup process executed in the sync and manually using utilities has been enhanced with more debugging tools. Due to these new tools we have improved the file permission monitoring and timeout values.
- The module selector utilized in Site Architecture > Module Designer and other modules has been updated to include the System Name “Name (SystemName)”. This was added because we have a few situations where the same name is used for two modules that appear in different places in the navigation.
- The ImportBatch method developed for custom imports now supports data from multiple modules within a single batch. This will make custom imports more efficient, and will be beneficial for future tools that utilize bulk imports.
- Forms Management now has the ability to use a format string in the FormStat CpScript.
- Dynamic Scripts has a new ‘Video’ feature. This can be found in ‘Fields’ tab. It will allow you to specify what attribute in your module is capable of uploading a video file. It will then auto-detect what it is and show it in your scrip accordingly.
- New module ‘Media’ located at Content > Media. This new module picks up where Video Library has left off. It enables you to manage any sort of media files and display them automaticaly. This new module can phase out ‘Video Library’
- New CpScript called ‘MediaItem’ that works with the new Media Module. It allows you to pass it a LegacyId or a DataId and return a single media item. This can be placed anywhere on a site. See the Scripting help file for more details.
- New CpControl ‘RelatedMedia’ that works with the new Media Module. This control will work in the Module Designer on any module. Allowing you to display links to the media items or display the actual media items. There are many different ways to display the data. Please see the Module Designer help file for further information.
- New CpScript ‘TaxonomyList’ that takes a taxonomy system name, and the module system name and will display all the children of the taxonomy type specified in a list of links. Please see the help file for more information.
Sun, Sep 13, 2009
- Master / CMS / Navigation has been updated to merge the system attribute collections in the default Attribute, Configuration, and Property displays. This means that when we add a new system attribute it is available for modification in the navigation item even if the module has never been re-submitted.
- The Email Address attribute is now editable in all client console Users modules like Members and Site Architecture / Administrators.
- It was discovered that the web site left hand navigation did not properly utilize or cascade its styles. We have made many changes to these controls to properly display the background colors, padding, links, and more. Due to these changes you may notice differences in the link color and text padding of your navigation items. The left navigation should be inspected immediately after the site is sync’d and any changes can be resolved using Design / Styles / Navigation & Sub.
- A bug found in the screen scrape used to render the home page without the file path has been repaired.
- Design / Styles / Navigation & Sub Nav have four new attributes each: Selected Background Color, Selected Background Image, Selected Font Color, and Selected Font Decoration. These attributes can be used to apply style to navigation items that are currently selected and the ancestors of the currently selected item.
- The “Only On Home Pages” option in all “Visible” attributes in the Design / Styles module has been repaired.
- The Color Picker used for many attributes in the client console has been repaired and now supports both a Web Pallet and RGB Sliders.
- A bug in the login page has been repaired that prevented the login redirect from taking you back to the previously viewed document.
- The module designer has been reprogrammed to retrieve the code path (Attributes.xml, MultiView.xml) from the code path of the current navigation item as opposed to generating it using the navigation item system name. The benefit of this is that it will cause modules that use the same code path to also use the same module designer attributes.
- The Design / Styles / Left / Width attribute now supports an empty value. Leaving this attribute empty will cause the left hand navigation to dynamically resize to the width of the largest item within.
- A problem has been resolved in the Advertising / Advertisers module which caused records with a Start Date set in the future to display before their start date was reached.
- Advertising / Advertisers has a new attribute called “Show On Details View” that is only available when the Page Type is set to “Taxonomy Specific”. This attribute allows you to exclude an advertisement from the details view even when the related taxonomy is assigned to the document. This change caused changes to this modules relation and therefore will force the relation to be rebuilt during the next sync. You should manually monitor the next sync on any sites that have a large number of records in this module. If the relation rebuild is successful the records will appear normally in the module after the sync. If the records disappear from the module after the sync the module can be repopulated by an Oxcyon developer.
- The Development / Errors module has been updated in all consoles including changes to the error reporting. Some of the changes include new web site specific errors that can be deleted from all consoles, and a Delete button on the details view. We’ve also added an Email button on the details view and cleaned up the email notifications. The errors reported to Uber now include additional details like state collections and more user information, and the Development sites no longer report errors.
- Centralpoint.Web.Cms.User.Delete has been overloaded to support a new parameter named “filter”. This parameter allows custom user imports to delete a subset of users before executing. The filter will be executed over cpsys_Users in the web site database and all string values should be properly encoded.
- Web site backup creation has been updated so that when multiple sites are backed up and one backup fails the other site backups continue. The failed backup is also reported to Uber and to the Admin / Settings / Error Notification Email.
- A bug in the Uber console that caused an error when the Articles RSS feed was retrieved without a ChannelId has been resolved.
- Advertising / Ad Tracking / Banners has been updated to support audience and/or role filtration when Advertising / Ad Tracking / Zones / Audience Filtration Enabled and/or Role Filtration Enabled is set to “Yes”. Enabling these features may have a negative effect on your sites performance when used with a large number of banners.
- The Admin / Properties / Google Maps API Key attribute has been added. It is currently used in the Marketplace module suite.
- We’ve added a new attribute called “Taxonomy Category Children Visible” to Site Architecture / Module Designer / Home View (#1) / Taxonomy Display / Categories. It allows you to hide the children and show only the parent taxonomy types on the modules Home View (#1).
Sun, Aug 23, 2009
- We have updated the web site and module search criteria parser to return more relevant results when multiple word searches are executed.
- The sites default page has been updated to use a screen scrape rather than a redirect to display the sites home page. This results in the address bar remaining www.yoururl.com as opposed to changing to something like www.yoururl.com/Main/Public/Home.aspx. A canonical URL meta tag has also been added to ensure proper search engine optimization.
- We’ve added a new Users class to our CMS library. This class supports bulk imports and individual inserts and updates in the Users table. The Users table contains all Centralpoint users like Members and Site Architecture / Administrators.
- A bug in the page base class caused the site map to load with the wrong audience in some situations. To address this we’ve moved the https check from before the users audience is changed to after. This has resolved the issue.
- A bug in Master / CMS / Modules has been repaired that caused custom attributes to be lost when a module was saved after being copied and viewed using the OK button in the JavaScript popup.
- Master / CMS / Modules / Copy Module has been updated to copy the modules relations and predicates instead of creating default relations and predicates as if it were a new module.
- Some descriptions in the Master / CMS / Relations module were improperly generated by the system. The descriptions have been repaired and will be sync’d and generated properly in the future.
- Our update build process now excludes some unnecessary folders to make the installation packages smaller and faster. It has also been enhanced to use a single site (Quality Control) for both the update and install packages.
- A bug has been repaired that caused the submission of a web site in the master console to clear custom properties submitted via the web site Admin / Properties module.
- Admin / Properties / Web Site Time Zone is a new site property that controls the time zone of dates displayed on the front end of the web site for anonymous users. For dates to display properly it is important that administrators set their time zone using Account Settings / Personalization / Time Zone before creating, updating, or importing content in the client console. When data is created the dates are converted from the administrator’s time zone to UTC. All logged in web site or client console users will see dates and times in their personal time zone. This new site property is used to control the time zone of data for anonymous web site users. It is also used as the default time zone for new users created in the client console.
- The Page Options… / Module Configuration, Module Properties, and Module Defaults have been updated to refresh the current module when saved so that the changes are applied immediately.
- The Design / Media Manager module now allows the source file to be replaced. This will replace the file everywhere the resource was used throughout the site. Just click “Click here to replace the file associated with this resource.” within the File attribute of an existing resource. When the Save button is clicked after uploading a new file the source file, content type, and extension are automatically updated with information related to the new file. Clicking Cancel after saving a new file will not cause the resource to revert to the old file. You may want to copy the original file first; because once a new file is uploaded the original file is not retrievable. Also be aware that changing a resource from one file type to another may cause problems related to the HTML used to reference the resource. For example, broken images will appear if you change a resource from an image to a word document and the resource was referenced in an IMG HTML tag.
- The standard left hand sub navigation now includes styles identifying the level of sub navigation. This can be used with a custom cascading style sheet to apply different styles to each level of sub navigation. All sub navigation contains the cpsty_SubNavigation and cpsty_SubNavigationText styles controlled by Design / Styles / Sub Nav. Additionally, the first level of sub navigation contains cpsty_SubNavigation1 and cpsty_SubNavigation1Text, and levels 2 – n contain a similar class where 1 is replaced with current sub navigation level number.
- We’ve added Auto Number to the default list of searchable fields in all client console module grid views. Adding this field to the default searchable fields means that it will only apply to modules that do not have a custom list of searchable fields. Searchable fields are customized using module configuration which can be set in Master / CMS (Modules and/or Navigation), or the client console (Page Options / Module Configuration).
- The image resizing class used for both file based and resource image resizes has been rewritten. It is no longer dependent upon Microsoft’s thumbnail generation method. Resized images are no longer blurry and now render transparent GIFs properly except in browsers that do not support transparent PNGs (like IE6). We have also included a file system based cache to reduce the system resources required for image resizing and the risk of denial of service (DOS) attacks.
- The ability to control the length of time that the users is not allowed to submit the form has been added to forms management. This can be controlled using the Prevent Multiple Submissions, Intervals, and Interval Value attributes.
- The Forms Management / Dashboard modules have been completed.
- New beta Ad Banners reports have been added under Ad Tracking, but have not yet been stress tested.
- Banners Per Announcer (HTML, Excel, CSV)
- Banner Expiring Dates (HTML, Excel, CSV)
- Zone Activity (HTML, Excel, CSV, Charts)
- Banners Activity Per Zone (HTML, Excel, CSV, Charts)
Sun, Aug 9, 2009
- The standard file upload popup window will now verify that the upload subdirectory exists and create it if it does not.
- A bug that caused the current search criteria entered into a search box to be duplicated has been repaired.
- The client console has a new page that can be accessed by the URL “/Console/CpCollection.aspx?sn=ConsoleNavigationSystemName”. This page will display the XML used to generate the attributes displayed for the given console navigation item. It is assumed that the console navigation item relates to a module. This was developed for use with the new Custom Attributes module configuration, but has been designed for many other uses in the future.
- Master / CMS / Modules now contains a new control validator named “XML Validator”. This allows us to validate an attributes value to determine whether it contains valid XML. It also allows us to validate the XML against a custom schema or define a collection type to validate the xml as a Centralpoint collection, or more specifically an Attribute, Configuration, or Property collection.
- A bug in the code used to allow URL based navigation items to point to virtual rewritten URLs has been detected and repaired. The bug caused URLs containing query string parameters to return an error when included in the navigation.
- A new module configuration called “Custom Attributes” has been added to all modules. Remember that you must be an Ancestor Admin to select the “Module Configuration” option from a standard modules “Page Options…” selector. Ancestor Admins are users logged into a web site with an account that was created in the sites Master or Uber console.
- You may use this configuration to upload an XML file that will be used to customize the modules attributes. New attributes may be added and existing attributes may be renamed, textually modified, or reordered. Some changes are prohibited and will be undone during the attribute merge. Moving required attributes out of the “Attributes” group is prevented because it causes validation problems. If the original attributes are modified after custom changes have been made, the changes may not be reflected in the modules attributes because the site will still use the custom attributes.
- The words “existing attributes” in the new configurations header text are linked to a new tool that allows you to view and save the modules current attributes XML.
- When uploading custom attributes the uploaded file is validated to ensure that it meets the requirements of an attributes XML file. It must be a valid CpCollection XML file and the first group node must have an id of “Attributes”.
- When ecommerce is enabled, custom attributes are merged before the ecommerce attributes. Custom attributes should not contain ecommerce attributes (prefixed with cpsys_Ecommerce).
- New attributes added using Custom Attributes can only be used on the Site Architecture / Module Designer / Details View (#3). They do not exist in the relation, and therefore, cannot be displayed in repeated data like search results without first being added to the actual module, its relation, and implemented accordingly.
- To test this feature just click the “existing attributes” link and use the save icon in the upper right hand corner of the popup to save the attributes XML as a file on your desktop. Then open the new XML file and change it, ensuring that it keeps the UTF-8 encoding. I suggest you change the name of some of the attributes and maybe copy an existing attribute and paste it in again, but be sure to change the id of the property node which must be unique within the entire file. Then upload the modified XML file using the Custom Attributes “File Upload” button and save the module configuration. The module’s attributes should now reflect the uploaded customizations.
- Numerous errors were being reported when an audience/role combination had more than one home page. In this scenario only the first home page is accessible. The implementation has been modified so that when this occurs a 404 error will be displayed on the site and an error will not be report to Centralpoint.
- The “Mobile Web Site Search” help file has been updated to include an onKeyPress event in the search text box. When included this event will allow the enter key to trigger a search when the users cursor is in the text box.
- The script time out in the Admin / All Modules module has been increased to support sites with more data, however, in this case the script may take a long time to load.
Sun, Jul 26, 2009
- We now have the ability to populate a forms management control (text box, etc.) from a record in the database. First, the user viewing the form must be logged into the site (not anonymous). Second, the page must be loaded with the query string variable “fdid=GUID” where GUID is the DataId of a record in the site. Finally, the defaultValue parameter of the form control CpScript should contain the following value: cpsys_Constant:DataInfo:AttributeSystemName. AttributeSystemName is the system name of the attribute in the data document retrieved using the DataId passed in the query string.
- The search control enabled from Site Architecture / Module Designer has been updated for compatibility with the order by, page size, and page controls. The query string based search has also been updated to support these controls.
- The Module.Page class has a new event called LoadSearchCriteria to assist in the development of custom searches, and a new property called ResultsTitleStartsWith for alpha-numeric searches.
- The web site “Clean Up” utility has been enhanced to remove orphaned sub-directories from the Uploads/ModuleViews folder. This folder occasionally contains folders that are orphaned by deleted records in Site Architecture / Module Designer.
- The “Grid Disabled Checkboxes” module configuration is typically used to prevent users from deleting specific documents. The delete button on the details view of a document is now disabled when the document’s DataId is included in the grid disable checkboxes module configuration.
- The JavaScript alert that informed users when their browser does not support PNG transparencies has been removed. The consoles uses PNG transparencies and may display differently in browsers that do not support them. IE 6 does not support PNG transparencies.
- We can now detect rewritten paths in Site Architecture / Navigation / Page Type / URL. This attribute now supports root relative rewritten URLs that relate to files that don’t actually exist in the file system. You no longer need to use fully qualified URLs in this situation.
- The Admin / Settings module has a new section called Machine Key. This section is used to manually set or dynamically generate View State and Decryption keys for the application. These keys are primarily used for encrypting form data and cookies. Please note that new keys should be generated using this tool whenever a new site is created from scratch. This change will prevent view state and “Client is disconnected” errors from occurring when the application is restarted and a user posts a form that was created before the application was restarted. It will also help us in the future to set up web farms.
- The web services used to insert and update content have been updated to maintain the version’s creator and an accurate audit trail when called from the front end of the site.
- The client console site map provider has been updated to resolve synchronization issues caused by multiple users logging into the same audience for the first time at the same time. These errors presented themselves with the message “An item with the same key has already been added.”
- We added a new global control called Alphabet Navigation for use in Site Architecture / Module Designer. See the module designer help file for more information.
- Forms Management has been improved to maintain the historical versions of a document that is managed from the front end of the site.
Sun, Jul 19, 2009
- All references to modified, cached DataTable DefaultViews have been modified to use DataRow arrays to avoid synchronization issues that may occur under heavy traffic.
- The web site member login feature has been repaired so that active member accounts can access private data. The private role does not have to be selected from the member record in the client console. The member only has to have an active account in the module with private access to the current audience.
- The text displayed in Parent Item attribute of the Site Architecture and Site Architecture / Navigation modules has been updated to include the system name of the parent item. This change was requested to resolve issues caused by unique navigation items with the same value in the Title attribute.
- The Advertising / Sponsored Keywords implementation has been updated to support keywords that exist in an elements data and child elements. Previously, this situation could cause invalid replacements within element attributes.
- The web site backup, restore, and deployment features of the master console have been updated to support system name validation and the sync number contained in the version number. The cpsys_Execute SQL Login Server Roles have also been modified to include the dbcreator to repair a bug in the web site restore function.
- The resource HttpHandler has been updated to remove reusability and enable output caching. This should reduce the number of client disconnect errors that occur.
- Previous caching issues in the the RelatedData CpScript required changes to the data retrieval implementation. These changes caused the sort order feature to stop working. The sort order feature of related data has been repaired to work with the new data retrieval method.
- Design / Styles / Navigation / Navigation Type / Only Display Selected has been re-implemented. Previously, it only displayed children of the currently selected navigation item regardless of its location in the tree. It now works like Open When Selected, except once a first tier navigation item has been selected it does not show first tier items and only shows descendants of the currently selected first tier item. It is an Open When Selected navigation excluding the first tier navigation once a first tier navigation has been selected.
- The master console scheduled tasks timeout value has been increased to 1 hour. Scheduled tasks running longer than 1 hour will fail to complete.
- The RelatedData cp:control used in Site Architecture / Module Designer has a new property called Filter. This property is a little tricky to use but is documented in the module designer help file. The purpose is to retrieve related records over a subset of a modules data.
- Three new user controls have been developed for use in the Marketplace module suite, but can be included in any future module development. They include InquiryCheckBox, InquiryButton, and InquirySelectAll which are all documented in the Module Designer help file. These controls are specifically designed for use in Site Architecture / Module Designer / Results View (#2) when the module has implemented an Inquiry Basket.
- Advertising & Advertising / Advertisers
- The execution of these elements has been moved later in the page lifecycle to support their dependency on data populated during post back. This includes search results and taxonomy selections. This change may cause unexpected results in the page display and functions, therefore, this module should be monitored closely.
- The Page Type attribute has a new option called “Taxonomy Specific”. This option allows you to select the module (Site Architecture / Module Designer) and Taxonomy on which you would like the advertisement to display. This is based on the taxonomy selected via a category view (Home View) module search (Results View) or the current document (Details View). Clients with a custom Module Configuration or Properties submitted via the client console for these modules may require changes to make the Taxonomy attribute visible and multi-select. This change requires a complete rebuild and repopulation of the relation for this module during the next sync. Clients with a large amount of data in these modules should monitor the next sync closely.
- A bug in the editor control caused the “Media” icon to display even when the editor did not allow resources. This problem has been resolved and when an editor does not allow resources the “Media” icon is replaced with the Image, Flash, Media, and Document Manager icons which can be used for file uploads.
Mon, Jun 15, 2009
This update is a patch for 8.0.13 which was the contained changes to the page base class that caused an error when audiences were changed via the URL. It also optimizes the media manager HttpHandler.
Sun, Jun 7, 2009
- Two new instance methods, RandomNumber and RandomString, have been added to the application based Management class. The old Page and Utilities.General versions of these methods have been removed and all references have been updated to use the new Management versions. This change has been made to prevent duplicate random numbers from being generated by separate instances of random number generators called within the same second.
- All SQL bulk copy implementations have been updated to include “using” statements to ensure proper object closure. They have also been reviewed and implement the new Management.Locker to protect against synchronization issues when deletions are followed by bulk copies.
- All client script registrations using the script manager have been updated to reference the current page as opposed to the current control to prevent duplicate script and style inclusions when the same control is included on the page more than once.
- Development / Errors modules have been enhanced including additional error details and grid and update features in the Uber console.
- Development / Utilities / Application Trace now also manages the compilation mode and custom errors elements in the web.config file. When enabling the application trace the compilation mode is set to debug and custom errors are turned off. This will allow module designers to turn on tracing while working on module views and see real error messages on the site. It will also aid Oxcyon developers when debugging live sites.
- Master / CMS / Navigation has been updated to prevent changes to the selected module after the navigation item has been submitted. This change was made to prevent issues introduced when the document XML contains a different ModuleId than the navigation record.
- The web site version numbers have been updated to include a fourth number that keeps the sync count since the last update install or build. This number is most valuable when determining whether a site can be moved from one server to another.
- Administrators and Limited Administrators will now see a new feature called “Restart Application” located below “Clear Cache” in the client console. This feature will restart the web site application not only clearing the console based cache but resetting all application variables and clearing all custom cache objects. It will also force the lead generation cache to be recorded to the database. The side effect of this feature is that the web site and client console will load more slowly until the site has been precompiled and the cache restored. This feature may also prematurely terminate long running web site or client console processes.
- The query string variable used by Admin / Error Messages / 404 Redirect has been changed from cpsys_error=1 to cpsys_redirect=404 to prevent the display of the word “error” in the query string. This variable prevents the system from entering an infinite loop when executing a 404 redirect set up in the Admin / Error Messages module.
- The RTF Editor has been updated to encode script blocks when in design mode. This will prevent scripts from executing in design mode, therefore, will prevent client console JavaScript errors caused by editor scripts.
- All Telerik controls have been upgraded to the Q1 2009 SP2 release. This includes the changes listed here: http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/whats-new/release-history/q1-2009-sp2-version-2009-1-527.aspx. We primarily utilize the RadEditor, RadSpell, and RadUpload controls.
- Proper validation has been added to all module properties and configuration views available via the Page Options selector.
- A new module property called “Browser Title Included Items” has been added to Site Architecture / Navigation. It is a checkbox list including the following items: Audience, Document, Module, and Site Map Item. It allows you to select which items are included in the browser’s title bar for all navigation items.
- The Module Details View (#3) HTML has been updated to link to the canonical URL when accessed via a URL other than that specified by the Document Identifier module property for the current module. This has been implemented in accordance with the specifications outlined here: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/specify-your-canonical.html. The intention is to improve search engine optimization when the same content is accessible via multiple unique URLs.
Sun, Jun 7, 2009
This update is a patch for 8.0.11 which was the first update to contain error reporting on the HttpHandlers. This combined with the Response.End caused an large number of exceptions to be thrown by the system.
Thu, May 21, 2009
- Site Architecture / Module Designer / Initialize / Module has been modified to remember missing items. This allows users who do not have access to a module to update a design for that module without receiving an error message. It is still recommended that administrators with access to the module designer have access to all modules.
- Dynamic search forms containing a custom PostBackUrl are now supported on pages containing other forms. Previously, this scenario would prevent the other forms from submitting properly. These changes also included updates to the URL rewrite HttpModule so that we now fully support cross page post backs.
- The web site search SQL function has been modified to prevent duplicate records displayed when a record contains a searched keyword in more than one related taxonomy. It has also been modified so that search results where the criteria is found in the Title are ranked higher than when it is found in other attributes.
- A problem has been resolved which caused modules to disappear from client consoles when the Uber group selections for the web site were incorrect. Previously you could select module groups for a web sites that were not accessible to the master. When an unpredicted master event occurred these invalid selections were removed making modules disappear. The selectors are now filtered properly so that the invalid selections cannot be made.
- Most references to Response.End() have been replaced with ApplicationInstance.CompleteRequest() to prevent early termination exceptions from being reported in the Development / Errors modules.
- All SqlSiteMapProviders have been updated to prevent an error that was recorded in the Event Viewer when the OnSiteMapChanged event was triggered without an active HttpContext. Unnecessary caching has also been removed from the providers.
- The system has been updated to return a 404 error when an end user enters a URL containing an audience or role system name that does not exist.
- Dynamically generated login URLs have been updated to include the new audience in the path as opposed to the query string. The role must remain in the query string so that the Login page itself is loaded in the Public role.
- The lead tracking application has been updated to prevent the insertion of leads with null UserIds.
- The Resource (Design / Media Manager) HttpHandler has been completely rewritten for efficiency and to address “Server Too Busy” errors.
- The “Server Too Busy” errors have been resolved by removing the Response.Close call after Response.TransmitFile as described here: http://www.improve.dk/blog/2008/03/29/response-transmitfile-close-will-kill-your-application.
- Caching has been built into the handler including automatic expiration via the media manager module.
- Additional response headers have been added to resolve browser support issues.
- The class has been optimized for performance, memory management, and concurrency.
- All references to application state have been checked for proper use of locks to prevent issues with concurrency under high traffic situations.
- A problem with Master / Deployment / Synchronize that caused a JavaScript error when more than one site was included in the sync has been repaired. This JavaScript error caused you to lose track of the sync after the first site and forced you to manage the sync using the Process Monitor.
- Abstract views of documents in all modules previously redirected you to the home page of the module. This has been repaired so that abstract views display the appropriate content from the module designer.
- An advanced locker system has been implemented into the Management class for synchronization over page based code. This system allows us to lock sections of code like the ad banner click counter to ensure accurate counts.
Thu, May 21, 2009
- It was recently discovered that web site backups did not contain folders that began with the string “Temp”. This caused problems with Template and Templates folders when moving sites from one server to another. This problem has been resolved.
- A bug has been repaired that caused the bread crumb trail to display HTML navigation items twice. It was introduced by the change that allowed HTML navigation items to be managed using the module designer.
- A method to generate a taxonomy filter retrieving ALL taxonomy items in a list as opposed to ANY of the taxonomy items has been added to the CpContent class. The primary purpose of this method is to facilitate a new attribute in the Dynamic Scripts module, but it will have many applications in the future.
- Additional exception handling has been added to the Sync and Update methods so that errors that occur are recorded in the master’s process log.
- A bug that caused an error in the client console grid view when searching “All Attributes”, then clicking a sort arrow has been repaired. The patch required changes to a large majority of the modules. If a client is using a custom Module Configuration they may still have this problem. If this occurs we will have to update the custom Module Configuration, including the relation table name in field references in all sort expressions.
- The bug has been repaired that caused an exception in the client console when a user submitted a record that displayed on the last page of records in that module. The exception displayed when a record was opened by user A, then user B deleted records in the module causing the page that user A was on to become invalid, then the user A submits the record. When this scenario occurs the user is redirected to page 1 of in the same module after the records data is successfully submitted.
- A bug has been repaired that caused an exception in the Publishing / Articles module when a search was executed over the Data Id field. It affected all modules adding JOIN clauses to the module grid using the “Grid Join Clauses” module configuration. The Data Id search field is now supported by all modules.
- All Telerik controls have been upgraded to the Q1 2009 SP1 release. This includes the changes listed here: http://www.telerik.com/products/aspnet-ajax/whats-new/release-history/q1-2009-sp1-version-2009-1-402.aspx. We primarily utilize the RadEditor, RadSpell, and RadUpload controls. The focus of this upgrade is support for Internet Explorer 8 in the RTF Editor.
- The client console has been updated to support Internet Explorer 8 without Compatibility Mode.
- The Design / Styles / Navigation & Sub Nav tabs have 2 new attributes each: Text Padding, Text Margin. These new attributes have been added to control the padding and margin around text based navigation and sub navigation items and do not affect image based items. They allow you to control the top, right, bottom, and left padding and margin. Padding and margin both were included because the margin will be affected by background colors while the padding will not.
- A glitch in the lead tracking tool that caused extra hits to be collected in high traffic situations has been repaired. The number of hits recorded during high traffic situations before this update may be inaccurate.
- The sort criteria for the Advertising / Ad Tracking / Banners module’s Hits column has been updated. Previously when the module was sorted by this column an error was returned. This fix will only apply to sites not using a custom module configuration for this module.
- A bug in the RelatedData cp:control that prevented the proper functionality of the ItemWidth parameter has been repaired. Displaying one related data item per line can now be accomplished by setting the item width to 100%.
- Centralpoint form state dynamic search buttons have been updated to function properly on views other than the Home View (#1) and Results View (#2) in the module designer.
- A new attribute called “Custom Elements” has been added to the “Header Tags” tab in Structure / Navigation and Audiences. Another similar attribute called “Header Elements” has been added to Admin / Properties and affects all pages in the site. The contents of these attributes will be added to the HTML page header exactly as it is entered into the text area. They can be used to link JavaScript or CSS files and to include custom meta tags. Their contents attribute will be added in addition to the header information dynamically generated by Centralpoint.
- Additional exception handling has been added to all HttpHandlers so their errors are reported to Uber like web pages.
- Two new modules have been completed: Design / Dynamic Feeds and Admin / XML/RSS. Please review the help files for module details.
- Advertising / Ad Tracking / Banners has been updated to so that ad links will not be followed by search spiders. This module has also gotten new fields used to limit the number of hits or clicks that an ad can have before it is automatically removed. A bug in this module has been repaired that was causing deleted users to show up in the Advertiser attribute.
- A bug in the RTF Editor site links tool has been repaired to correctly set the link target.
- Support for multiple email addresses has been added to Forms Management / Forms / Workflow / CC & BCC.
Sun, May 10, 2009
- The MobileNavigation CpScript has been updated so that items with a Type of Image will display the Selected Image when the current item is visited and when a child (or descendant) of the current item is visited.
- The Dynamic Scripts module has a new attribute called “Skip Count” which allows you to prevent the display of the first n records retrieved. You could, for example, display records 5 – 10 by setting the skip count to 5 and the top count to 10.
- The Dynamic Scripts module has two new Image Display positions: Title Left and Title Right.
- All Users modules in all consoles have been updated to prevent the email from being sent containing the users password when the user is created with the Locked Out attribute set to Yes. This change was made for the Advertising / Ad Tracking / Announcers module, so that you could create Announcers (Users) to track information without sending them their password via email.
- A Target column has been added to all module relations and is now available in Site Architecture / Module Designer using [cp:column key=”Target” /]. This cp:column has been added to all Module Designer defaults, but it must be added to existing records manually. This should be done in all Quality Control sites so that newly created children contain the appropriate targets. This new column has also been implemented into the web site search, related data, taxonomy record display, dynamic scripts, and the current issue CpScript.
- A summary column has been added to all module relations and is now available in Site Architecture / Module Designer / Home View (#1) using [cp:column key=”Summary” /]. It was previously available only in the Results View (#2) because it was in the WebSiteSearch relation.
- Two new modules have been added to the Content category in the Client Console: News and Video Library.
Thu, Apr 30, 2009
- The Admin / Error Messages module has been rewritten addressing a couple of issues. First, the application has been redesigned to support errors generated by non-.NET Framework pages. This requires some manual setup that is outlined in the Error Messages help file. Next, the error message has been updated to display on the offending URL as opposed to redirecting to Error.aspx.
- The FormUpload CpScript has been updated to allow uploads from anonymous users. These users are permitted to upload a restricted set of file extensions, and the type property of the CpScript should be used to further restrict the files that can be uploaded. Allowing anonymous users to upload files means that anyone can upload files into any site as long as the file uses one of the supported extensions.
- A FormEditor CpScript has been added for use in Forms Management. Refer to the Scripting help file for a description of how to use this CpScript.
- The RelatedData cp:control has been updated to include a new OrderBy property. This propery has been documented in the “Module Designer” help file in the “Related Records” section.
- A new query string variable named “fields” is now supported by all modules. It allows query string based field searches similar to those used in the Home View (#1). Adding the fields query string variable to the module home view URL will automatically execute a search over the given field. The variable value must be set in the following format: “TableName.FieldName:FieldValue”. The search will be executed using a LIKE statement.
- A change has been made to the Leads and Management application objects that will cause them to be created late if they are not created during the Application.OnStart event.
- The addition of FormState caused a bug where query string based searches were no longer compatible with the paging, sorting, or ordering controls. These features have been re-implemented to look for the values in the query string whenever form state is not in use. When form state is used the query string variables will be ignored.
- Additional exception handling has been added to the Lead generation tools to prevent application level errors from breaking the site and to report Errors to the Admin / Settings / Error Notification Email when they occur.
- The Uber Control, Uber, and Master code has been updated to prevent “Maximum Request Length Exceeded” errors that were related to the file upload within the editor.
- The Development / Errors modules in Uber, Master, and Web Site consoles have been updated to HTML encode the display of URLs. This is intended to prevent hacking attempts recorded in errors from affecting these consoles. Due to this change the URLs are no longer hyperlinked and must be manually inspected and copied for use.
- New CMS tools have been created for use in custom imports into Keyword Lists.
- A new module property called “Module Design” has been added to Site Architecture / Navigation & Homepages. You can now create a record in Site Architecture / Module Designer for your homepages and/or navigation and use these module properties to select the new records. The new module designer records can be used to add header text, footer text, email forms, taxonomy, etc. to homepages and navigation items when the Page Type is set to HTML.
- The RTF Editor's Site Links dialog paging problems and broken links have been repaired.
- A new CpScript has been added called CurrentIssue. This script is intended to display the top 1 current issue and has been documented in the Scripting help file.
- A new attribute called Caption has been added to all Generic modules.
Thu, Apr 16, 2009
- The cpsys_DataCurrent_Select stored procedure has been rewritten to allow NVarChar(MAX) length strings in the fields, columns, joins, where, and orderby parameters. This was implemented to solve problems caused by searches containing a large amount of criteria.
- The web site search has been updated to remove duplicate Structure / Modules records. Duplicate records occur when two Structure / Modules records have the same Module selected. The first record alphabetically is used based on the related Structure / Navigation record Title.
- The Generic module implementation has been changed to utilize 10 unique Generic modules as opposed to many Generic console navigation items relating to a single Generic module. This will cause data entered into any Generic module to appear in Generic A. If you were using any of the other Generic modules you should enable Generic A and change any generic aliases to Generic A. This change has also caused the loss of all custom Module Configuration data saved in the Generic modules. Module Configuration customizations must be recorded manually before the sync and reapplied manually after the sync.
- The sync process has been updated to exclude the Design folder in each web sites local folder. This will allow us to place documents in this folder related to a sites initial design and build. These files will not be overwritten by the sync and will be included in backups. Please use this folder instead of placing files or folders in the web sites local folder. A web sites local folder is the folder prefixed with “cpweb_”.
- A bug in the system has been repaired that caused custom module configurations to be ignored when the module was displayed in a data keyword list before the module itself was loaded.
- In standard modules the system is designed to ensure that console access in the main audience is always selected. This is intended to prevent a situation in which a record is inaccessible in all consoles. The Users and Roles modules utilize the standard audience selector with this feature disabled. After extensive tracing we’ve found and repaired a bug in the system that caused console access in the main audience to be added while deleted items are removed from the selector.
- Development / Errors modules have been repaired in Uber, Master, and Client Consoles. Previously errors containing HTML caused the display to break and/or would not display the error correctly. All message displays have been HTML encoded to display the HTML portion of the error when necessary.
- When an audience/role combination contains no related record in Design / Styles the web page will now display properly. The default design record, which has a disabled delete checkbox, will be used regardless of the audience, role, etc. selections. The system trace is used to record this situation if debugging is necessary.
- A note has been added to the client console view of a document’s historical versions to warn that the user that created a historical version is actually the user that made the changes to the document resulting in the generation of the historical version. It is not the user that created the content that was shown in the historical version. The person responsible for the content in the historical version can be found by looking up the earlier update in the audit trail.
- The client console navigation has been updated as follows. Please note that categories in the client console that display modules do not redirect to those modules. Instead, they are set up as a separate navigation item pointing to the same module. They are effectively another module and can be updated, managed, modified, enabled, and disabled separately. This means that if you disable Site Architecture / Navigation for a user they can still create navigation items unless you also disable Site Architecture.
- Structure => Site Architecture: Like Site Architecture / Navigation
- Admin / Administrators => Site Architecture / Administrators
- Site Architecture / Module => Site Architecture / Module Designer
- Site Architecture / Home Pages => Site Architecture / Homepages
- Form Manager => Forms Management: Like Forms Management / Forms
- Admin / Members => Members
- Advertising / Banner Management / Advertisers => Advertising / Advertisers
- Advertising / Banner Management => Advertising / Ad Tracking
- Advertising: Like Advertising / Advertisers
- A bug that caused the Attribute script to display improper data in Site Architecture / Module Designer when used with the DataInfo property has been repaired.
- The TaxonomyTree cp:control that is typically displayed on the module Details View (#3) is now supported by all module views. It has gotten two additional properties to support this change: WebSiteSearch and CurrentDataInfo. These controls have been documented in the client console help file titled “Modules” in the section titled “Related Taxonomy”.
- An attribute has been added to Structure / Modules / Home View (#1) called “Taxonomy Display Descriptions”. This attribute is only available when Taxonomy is utilized by the module and enabled using the “Taxonomy Display” attribute. This attribute can be used to hide the taxonomy descriptions. Hidden taxonomy descriptions are still searched by the module and web site search, but will not be indexed by search engines.
- Advertising / Sponsored Keywords has two new attributes: Url & Target. When a URL is provided the sponsored keyword will be linked to the URL using the selected target. Please remember that sponsored keywords are a client side implementation. They have little effect on the server load, but may not appear until sometime after the page has loaded depending on the client’s computer and browser. They are not intended for use as primary navigation items.
- Additional CpScripts have been added for use with Forms Management. The FormCaptcha CpScript was developed to add CAPTCHA validation to ensure that forms are not submitted by machines. The FormUpload CpScript was developed to allow file uploads. Visit the scripting help file for a description of all CpScripts.
- Design / Dynamic Feeds now allows any attribute in the selected module to be used in the 'Custom Order' attribute.
Wed, Apr 1, 2009
- RTF Editor attributes that allow resources were previously doing a case sensitive replacement from /Console/Resource.ashx to /Resource.ashx when a document was saved. When the editor changed to XHTML compliant after the last sync it began converting all styles to lowercase. Because of this change the replacement had to be redeveloped without the case sensitivity. I have also added a replacement for /Console/Uploads/ to support standard file upload within the editor.
- When a web site search was executed, navigation items would be returned that were orphans (descendants of inaccessible or deleted items). When visited, these orphans would return a 404 error. The web site search now filters out these orphaned navigation items when searching a single audience, but this problem must be managed manually when using the new Search All Audiences web site search described later.
- A problem that caused “Ambiguous Column Name…” errors when searches were executed in some modules in the client console has been repaired. This repair has been made separately for several modules and fields.
- A bug that prevented the Structure / Navigation / Header Tags attribute from working properly has been repaired.
- All Telerik controls have been upgraded to the Q1 2009 release. This includes the changes listed here: http://www.telerik.com/versionnotes.aspx?id=1728. We primarily utilize the RadEditor, RadSpell, and RadUpload controls.
- A new parameter has been added to the FormListBox and FormRadioButtonList CpScripts and documented in the Scripting help file. The parameter is called DataFilter and only works when the SystemType is set to TaxonomyTier. The purpose of this property is to only display taxonomy items that have been selected in data. You can enter the system name of the console navigation item (module) containing the data, or enter cpsys_CurrentModule to have the system automatically generate the table name using the current module.
- The dynamic search controls that are used to generate the Structure / Modules / Home View (#1) search have been modified so that multiple form items that relate to the taxonomy of the module will be treated as separate fields. Previously all taxonomy fields were treated as a single field (Taxonomy) which caused searches to return results that were in any of the selected taxonomy. Even if this taxonomy was selected using different form items. Separating these form items causes the search to AND the different taxonomy form controls.
- Structure / Audiences / Company has a new attribute called Search All Audiences. This new attribute has been added to instruct an Audience’s web site search to search all audiences as opposed to only the current audience. Please read this attributes header text carefully before use.

Bugs were found in the last update that prevented the client console login screen from loading with a company logo. The bug fixes were included in this package for the initial installation.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Structure / Modules grid view now has a Display column for the Display Status of the record like standard modules.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The taxonomy module audience filter has been added to the module Home View (#1) taxonomy display.
- 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.
- Module searches now detect when only one result is returned and redirect to the details view for the given result.
- 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.
- All CpSystem Info objects (Navigation, Audience, Role, Relation, KeywordList, ModuleViews, Taxonomy, etc.) have been overloaded for retrieval via an Id or SystemName.
- 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.
- 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.
- A bug in the system has been repaired that prevented you from removing a newly selected value in Module Defaults.
- Master / CMS / Navigation now supports multiline values when updating Defaults, Configuration, and Properties.
- 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.
- Uber and Master management of aliases now HTML encodes the terms. This allows us to alias HTML blocks in addition to simple strings.
- 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.
- Master / CMS / Modules now supports a numeric ordering control to make it easier for module developers to reorder existing attributes.
- 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.
- 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.
- Keyword Lists that start with HTML comments in the text will not display the comments, but will still use them for ordering.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The list of master hosts within the Uber console now includes the web site to which the host is related.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.

Initially the master console and web site consoles were compiled. This caused problems with the deployment of a backed up web site from the development server which did not have a compiled console. It also caused the update package to be very large because the date comparison did not work with the compiled files. Due to these problems the update and install build has been updated so that these consoles are no longer compiled.
