FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Cleveland, OH — February 2013 — Oxcyon, Inc. today announced the release of Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform version 8.4.15. Now serving 28 enterprise clients and in its 13th year of operation since its founding on September 1, 2000, Oxcyon continues to deliver regular platform updates across its growing base of enterprise licensees.
Version 8.4.15 delivered the following enhancements to the Centralpoint Digital Experience Platform:
| Feature |
Summary |
| CartInfo CpScript |
The SystemName parameter has been extended to support an expression (cpsys_Properties:SystemName) to retrieve items stored in the order's custom Properties collection. |
| Content > Events |
An issue was addressed in the Add to Calendar feature when an event was not tagged to Main or All audiences. |
| Date/Time Picker |
A button bar has been added to the date/time picker used with all standard date/time attributes. It includes a "Today" button which automatically changes the calendar to the current month and highlights today's date, but you are still required to click on the date to select it. The button bar also includes a "Done" button which closes the date/time picker without changing the selected date. |
| Design > Dynamic Tab Display |
An issue was addressed with the HTML output has been addressed when Tab Type = iFrame Tab. |
| Ecommerce > Cart |
The Custom Provider module property implementation has been updated to support a custom static Load(string systemName) method. When this method exists it will be used instead of the standard Load method. This feature is primarily used when the cart must be loaded with a custom user or session implementation. 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. |
| GoogleAnalyticsEventTracker CpScript |
This CpScript will populate a Google Analytics Event using selected elements ids. |
| Publishing > Articles |
A query string based caching problem on the Issues View has been resolved. |
| Site Architecture > System Pages > Login |
CSS classes have been added to page controls for styling purposes. |
| 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. |
About Oxcyon and Centralpoint
Oxcyon is a technology company specializing in enterprise knowledge platforms, best known for its flagship solution, Centralpoint. Centralpoint is designed to unify structured and unstructured information across organizations, enabling enterprises to aggregate data from disparate systems, normalize it through rich metadata, and transform it into actionable knowledge. By treating information as interconnected knowledge rather than isolated documents or databases, Centralpoint allows organizations to build a true enterprise knowledge layer — one that supports governance, compliance, operational intelligence, and advanced analytics. Its metadata-first architecture enables organizations to ingest, classify, and relate data from sources such as documents, forms, databases, applications, and external systems, creating a centralized environment for discovery, reporting, and operational decision-making.
What differentiates Centralpoint is its ability to go beyond traditional data management into data mining, inferencing, and AI-driven knowledge operations. Through taxonomy systems, relationship modeling, and rule-based data governance, the platform can identify patterns, infer relationships between records, and automate workflow decisions based on contextual intelligence. This capability allows organizations to move from passive data storage to active knowledge processing — surfacing insights, triggering workflows, and powering intelligent automation. With its integrated support for enterprise search, metadata-driven analytics, workflow orchestration, and AI-ready data structures, Centralpoint positions Oxcyon as a leader in modern data aggregation and knowledge intelligence platforms, helping organizations transform complex information ecosystems into governed, searchable, and intelligent operational systems.
