  • Modified MOST view reg tabs to now be ajax HTML loaded. This is a work in progress towards having View Reg act faster since we were starting to see some page slowdown.
  • Updated voucher system to make vouchers redeemable in kiosk. This has some major changes to the way that the shopping cart items are processed. This tool has a function that takes all your shopping cart items, and memberships and finds a combination that is closest to the voucher value without going over. Leaving the remaining items in the shopping cart. With much considerations these functions may be usable in future



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.
