Centralpoint Update 8.0.16
Date of Update: Tuesday, June 16, 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.
