Centralpoint Update 8.0.40


Date of Update: Monday, July 19, 2010  
  • 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.
