Centralpoint Update 8.0.24
Date of Update: Monday, November 16, 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.
