Release notes for version 8.2.1, released 2013-11-14

List of Changes in 8.2.1

  • Kiosk - Added kiosk variables in the 98_kiosk_final_screen module as follows:
    • $_SESSION['98_kiosk_final_screen']['startover_url'] defaults to "./"
    • $_SESSION['98_kiosk_final_screen']['startover_delay'] defaults to "10"
    • $_SESSION['98_kiosk_final_screen']['custom_finish_message']['print_success'] defaults to "Please wait until your page has printed to the printer near you. Then take that page to the cashier to get your badge."
    • $_SESSION['98_kiosk_final_screen']['custom_finish_message']['print_failed'] defaults to " Finished AUP Printing Failed please ask for assistance.Refreshing this page will try to print again."
  • General - Added ability to download the DB export from the GUI
  • General - Added membership type to the right of UID on receipts.
  • General - Added ability to customize receipt printer behavior.
  • General - Added optional behavior to print coupons at end of receipts for specified product UPCs that are not yet picked up (for specified membership types). These can be redeemed at the Con Store.
  • General - Tidied up Event Setup console screen.
  • Email - Modified the Send Email functions to also log emails being sent to the database.
  • General - Added a function to write system-wide logging things to the database.
  • Kiosk - 04_restrict_specific_membership. This is basicaly the inverse of 05_require_specific_membership. It prevents a user from proceeding beyond this step if they have one of the listed membership types. This is really only useful for very special situations where you do not want them to use the kiosk they are on with the type of membership they already have set. (ex, preventing Dealers from going through normal attendee registration kiosks, preventing special manually-assigned memberships from being changed by attendee, etc.)
  • Kiosk - membership.screen.inc.php - Added support for locked membership types.
  • Added handling for additional kiosk variables:
    • $_SESSION['05_choose_membership']['locked_membership_types']
    • $_SESSION['05_choose_membership']['locked_membership_message']
  • General - Improved timezone handling, added configuration option in strings.php.inc (close enough) Should improve support/speed for PHP 5.5 and beyond, allowing for times to be in non-UTC format.
  • General - Added System Logging feature, creating a log file in your db of important or strategic events.
  • General - PAYPAL API RELEASE! PayPal API release 1.0.1
  • Console - Added a tool to review each membership type sold and their prices. This tool is called Membership Price Drilldown.
  • System - Added a SQL error logging function to system wide logging dbio.
  • Console - Added email history to view reg table
  • Console - I've modified the search function significantly, and I think it'll make it easier on users
  • Kiosk - Added a kiosk to use to test theme elements. NO database access or function includes are needed for this kiosk.
  • Console - Added a email log browsing tool

The following bugs were corrected

  • Products default to Not Stuffed every time page refreshes in product editor.
  • Freebies column always showed NO in membership type listing.

  • Fixed references to non-existent "account_uid" column in the registrant_notes table. (It was renamed to just "uid" in r735.)
  • Corrected bug in global_functions_get_self_reference_url() which resulted in malformed HTTPS URLs.
  • Improved readability. Reformatted table headings, removed centering on Reg Num and UID, increased table cell padding to 3.

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.
