NOTE: This page contains release notes for a past release of Convention Master. The current version is 10.1.7.

Released 2015-06-13

General Fixes

  • Added the Email addresses (which were added to the database in an earlier version) to the Admin edit events interface. This is part of the process to move settings out of db_connect so that everything can be maintained in the console.
  • Mantis Ticket: 462 - Corrected error which caused emails to be sent from the system without a "from" email address or name.
  • Corrected bug in state based filtering and made it more efficient.
  • Mantis Ticket: 467 - Added logic to payment holds that will limit hold_expiry to a max of 6am of the day pre-reg closes in event settings. $_SESSION['registrant_payment_holds']['ignore_pre-reg_close_date'] was added to steps file to toggle this feature.
  • Mantis Ticket: 304 - Removed "Don't copy from previous event" as an option from new event wizard. You can just not select anything on the following steps. This will ensure at least basic stuff is copied to the new event like badge codes.
  • Mantis Ticket: 303 - Added validation for start, end, and pre-reg close dates to new event wizard step one.
  • Mantis Ticket: 512 - Updated automated tasks not to process PayPal payments for events that are over.
  • Various other enhancements and security hardening.

  • Added functionality to hide HTML block questions by default, with a toggle button, in the "Edit Approval" table of approve_application.inc.php
  • Mantis Ticket: 393 - Added new check box to Art show Wizard - "charity artist" - to notify you if any artists have been set to a 0% commission.

  • Mantis Ticket: 459 - Corrected bug that when you logged out of CM, it would throw the warning that you cannot use a scaler value as an array.

  • Changed width of search in console menu bar, so that it does not widen the menu beyond the colored end pieces on the top and bottom

Printing

  • Mantis Ticket: 455 - New Feature: Added ability to export and import printer configurations from installations. This will aid in the ease of setup. Allowing customers to set up "on-site" servers using test databases, then quickly export the working printer settings into the live database on the "off-site" server.
  • Mantis Ticket: 460 - Corrects issue with updated version of htmldoc, which resulted in the only error being "Unable to print, is htmldoc installed?" Also added so it captures screen output (including STDERR) and displays it to customer in hopes of helping troubleshoot.
  • Mantis Ticket: 457 - Added ability to modify invocation arguments for CUPS printing method. * Added Global setting PRINTING_htmldocArgs which has a default value of: --header ' ' --footer ' ' --fontsize 10 --left 0.5in --right 0.5in --top...
  • Mantis Ticket: 500 - Added IP column to Workstation Printer Assignment table.

Upgrading

Before starting an upgrade, we recommend that you backup your Convention Master database and files.

To perform the upgrade, run a Subversion update in the folder that contains your Convention Master installation: 

$ svn up /path/to/convention_master


When this has completed, log in to the staff console [yoursite.com/console] with an account that has the "Perform DB and System Upgrades" permission to automatically trigger any pending schema updates. DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP, otherwise it will leave your install in a locked upgrade state.

For fuller/more complete information on upgrading your Convention Master installation, please see our upgrade documentation.

If you have any questions or comments, please email us at support@civetsolutions.com.
