Error Reporting is managed in two locations, first within the Client Console of each individual Centralpoint Portal and also at the Uber Console, by Oxcyon.
-
Error Reporting within Client Console
Here, Centralpoint's Custom Error Messages equip the web site's web.config file and Global.asax file to handle custom errors. When an error occurs within the application, the Global.asax determines if the error is an HTTP error and then manages it accordingly. This feature requires custom errors to be turned on in the web.config file. For example, if the current error is a 404 error and a 404 Redirect record exists with an Original URL value that matches the URL on which the error originated, the user wi..., This tool can be found under the Development section within the Client Console, under 'Utilities'. Log in the Client Console, click on development, and search for this tool within this page. You can also ask your production manager to turn on the 'Tools' section of your client console. When this is done, each tool will appear individually within the console, for easy access.
Error Reporting (Monitoring) by Oxcyon (Across all environments)
A large part of the Evergreen Updates, involve listening and responding to any anomalies of any Centralpoint installation to allow Oxcyon Development to improve the technology. This means Error Reporting (or listening) to all Centralpoint installations. When any new anomaly is recognized, This allows Oxcyon to remedy issues (before they are even known by clients), and also to study any patterns over a period of time, improving our Updates.
First, not all exceptions are errors. Many exceptions are common and unavoidable. For example, view state errors occur when a web site changes between post backs. This could be as simple as a client console submission. In other cases, clients may have developed custom code in a site and refused to address the issues that were reported to them. These errors relate to unavoidable circumstances and are therefore do not require review. The sync will then deliver code that prevents that error from being reported to Uber in the future. If an error has occurred in the past and has been deemed a correct response to the problem it will also be excluded from reporting.
Once an error has been determined to be of value for review it is categorized by the web site itself. Many errors fall into common categories like connection issues, email send failures, or timeout exceptions. The contents of the error is parsed to determine whether it fits into one of these categories and grouped accordingly. If the error does not fall into one of these categories the system generates a category based upon the type of error and the stack trace. The highest level Centralpoint function that was involved in the error is combined with the datatype of the error to generate a unique category for that error. Each time the same error is sent to Uber it will contain the same category regardless of which site returned the error. In Centralpoint this category is called internally an Error Code Key (ECK). This allows Oxcyon to study similar exceptions (across different installations) to establish patterns.
Oxcyon’s Uber console’s Errors module is used to maintain and manage all errors from all masters and web sites as they occur. These errors are categorized using the ECK. In some cases, these errors trigger emails or requests for immediate action. The module also allows Oxcyon’s engineers to regularly review the activity occurring on web sites and look for patterns. If a large number of the same ECK is reported within a short period of a time an email notification is triggered and sent to the Oxcyon’s engineers and the administrator of that web site.
All errors are reviewed on daily basis, In many cases, these errors are just being reviewed to determine patterns. If numerous exceptions occur on a server or site at repeating time periods or intervals, a ticket is automatically sent to the (Network) administrator of that web site to determine whether any long running processes may be affecting the performance at that time. Other times these errors will include information that indicate unwanted ‘bot’ traffic may be spidering a site and may be making invalid requests or should be blocked. Often times, these errors are used to identify fishing attempts and prevent issues like cross site scripting (XSS) or SQL Injection.
These errors also often point out minor issues in the system. Maybe an unusual occurrence of events can lead to an error that didn’t come up during testing. The errors themselves include a detailed description of the request that lead to the error. Often these details can be used to reproduce a problem, and a patch is developed and deployed in the next sync. Clients may find issues and report them, but this module finds the errors that nobody reports. Many times the Oxcyon’s engineers will discover errors that are infrequent and unreported for months or years. Each time they occur they are reviewed and notes are added to the system. Eventually, a solution is found and a patch is deployed in the next sync. Rigorously executing this process for over 10 years has led to a very clean, trustworthy, and secure architecture, and it is improved with every sync.
Another tool that is often used for site reviews is the Development > Process Log module. This exists in all master and client consoles. When additional investigation is necessary related to issues on a server the Process Log is used to review all of the unattended long running processes that executed on any web site on that server. When a web sites starts a long running process it executes in the master instead of the web site itself to take some of the stress off of the web site. The master is on the same server so the server itself does experiences some stress. This module can be used to determine what is running and when, how long it ran, and whether any errors occurred during the execution. Long running processes are typically scheduled and can be things like data transfers, email broadcasts, or site synchronization.
Oxcyon’s engineers are also working on a new master console feature called the Health Monitor which will take this process to the next level (expected to be released Q2/2018). The health monitor is being developed to attach itself to running processes and determine problems in pages and applications that are not returning errors. For example, an administrator may have a report that is being generated on a regular basis. The Health Monitor will attach itself to each process and create a report of the real time activity occurring in each web site. It will provide information like the longest running pages, average request length, and total number of requests, and sometimes even which methods are running the longest on the page. This tool combined with error reporting will take issue avoidance and resolution to the next level.

-
-
- 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.

-
- 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.

-
- 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).

- 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.

-
- 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.

Feature |
Summary |
ExtAutoComplete & ExtAutoCompleteRedirect CpScripts |
The FieldName parameter has been updated to support a comma separated list of relation field names. It previously only supported a single field. When the lookup type is set to Contains this will cause the system to do a like comparison over all fields entered. This feature doesn't work with the StartsWith lookup type. The system caches all values used for auto-completion. Entering a field name that contains a large amount of data may cause memory issues. |
CpControl > SearchTerm |
A new added a new DataIdToTitle parameter has been added. When set to 'true' it will replace DataIds with their respective Titles. |
Tools > Clear Search Terms |
This new utility was created to clear all search terms (criteria) recorded. It can also be accessed from Development > Utilities. |
SearchTermsCloud CpScript |
Displays a tag cloud of criteria searched throughout the site. |
Procedure Manuals > Policies |
A new Email Changes Style Type module property has been added to control the styles/colors associated with the differences between two policies. |
Development > Console Triggers & Master > CMS > Triggers |
These new modules were added to manage Custom Triggers and My Triggers created in the cpsys_Triggers table. |
VersionList CpControl |
A new Version Type column and VersionType parameter has been added. The VersionType parameter can be used to filter the list to show only historical or draft versions. |
PdfViewer CpScript |
The Format parameter now supports the following new format strings: {1} = File Output Field and {2} = AudienceId. A new HideWhenEmptyFileOutput parameter which will hide the flip book link when the File Output Field is empty. |
ResourceDragTree CpScript |
A new RemoveNoGroup parameter has been added. When set to true this script will exclude media elements without a group selection. |
Admin > Settings |
The next update (version 8.7.4) will affect all Root/Web.Config files changing the Uber.Utilities appSetting from HTTP to HTTPS. If you are concerned about whether or not your server can access www.aranon.net via HTTPS you can test this feature before installing version 8.7.4 by manually updating this appSetting in the Master and Development site and loading the sites and consoles. They should display a server error if https://www.aranon.net is inaccessible from the server. |
Design > QR Codes |
This module and the QRBarcodes CpScript have been updated to configure custom information in the QR Barcodes. |
Ecommerce > Orders |
A Province column has been added to the grid view. |
Admin > Search All Modules |
The More Actions... > Regular Expression Search feature has been extended to include replacements. This feature is very processor intensive and can cause performance problems on the server while it is running. |

-
- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

-
- 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.

- 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.

- 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.

It is difficult to come across a unified explanation of how one should look at the concept of distributed ledger technology or blockchain. Blockchain is a type of database spread across multiple sites, regions, or participants. As one would expect, a distributed ledger has to be decentralized, otherwise it would resemble a centralized database like most companies use today. Removing the intermediary party from the equation is what makes the concept of distributed ledger technology so appealing. Remember...

- 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.

- 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.
