| 2020-01-23 r351 | 5.139.225 | Bug fix There were problems switching between the Plaintext and Richtext editors (for adding/editing responses) in various places. Also, on the iPhone, the richtext editor now has an explicit link to change to the plaintext editor, which is actually more functional. | |
| 2020-01-23 r350 | 5.139.224 | Feature Item deletion: allow organizer to control whether an item author can delete the entire item. (default = 'no') | |
| 2020-01-23 r348 | 5.139.223 | Features
|
|
| 2018-07-19 r346 | 5.139.222 | Bug Fix
$peo_members() function fails under MySQL 5.7, due to more restrictive ORDER BY rules.
Fixed.
|
|
| 2017-11-24 r345 | 5.138.222 | Feature
Allow different interfaces to individually control whether to allow or prevent
self-registration of a Caucus userid.
|
|
| 2017-05-07 r344 | 5.138.221 | Bug Fix
Fixed two filesafe bugs:
|
|
| 2017-02-25 r343 | 5.138.220 | Bug Fix
When running Caucus under https, the "in-session" login box
(e.g. the one you get when clicking through an email link) did not
support https, and caused security complaints.
Similarly, the email notificatinos themselves did not include
the "https" protocol in the links.
|
|
| 2017-01-14 r340 | 5.138.219 | Bug Fix
Brand new Caucus sites, running under MySQL 5.5+, do not create some tables,
notably conf_has_items.
This is fixed in the CML/updateDatabases.cml script.
|
|
| 2016-04-17 r339 | 5.138.218 | Feature
The new SWEB/swebd.conf Config switch "disableSelfRegistration" can be set to 1 to
prevent new users from registering themselves.
If the switch does not appear or is set to 0, self-registration is allowed by default.
|
|
| 2016-02-28 r337 | 5.138.216 | Feature
The manager "manage individual userids" page now allows for deleting many
userids at once.
|
|
| 2016-02-28 r337 | 5.138.216 | Feature
The manager "manage individual userids" page now allows for deleting many
userids at once.
|
|
| 2016-02-22 r336 | 5.138.215 | Feature
When a conference organizer archives a conference, they have the option
to get a copy of the archive via an email link.
|
|
| 2015-07-29 r331 | 5.138.213 | Bug Fix?
Change automatic email notification to use the real address for "From:"
and the organizer's email address for "Reply-To".
This reduces the chances that some receiving email servers will
think this is forged spam.
|
|
| 2014-12-26 r329 | 5.138.213 | Feature
Add 'batch' user-creation option to default caucus build.
(Allows creation of many users at once from a tab-separated text file.)
|
|
| 2014-12-12 r327 | 5.138.212 | Feature
Add instructions to INSTALL.TXT for RHEL and CentOS 7,
including new 'configure' options.
|
|
| 2013-12-15 r324 | 5.138.211 | Bug Fix
When creating a new conference from an archive,
and setting the dates for all responses
to now, page timed-out (and did not always
create the conference properly).
(Modified MySQL query to use a JOIN to reset the response times.) |
|
| 2013-12-15 r324 | 5.138.211 | Bug Fix
When creating a new conference from an archive,
and setting the dates for all responses
to now, page timed-out (and did not always
create the conference properly).
(Modified MySQL query to use a JOIN to reset the response times.) |
|
| 2013-07-28 r323 | 5.138.208 | Bug Fix
$cl_num(), and the macros that use it (conf_link, conf_is_allowed, conf_with_new, etc.)
got confused if a conference had been deleted, and a new conference
with the same name created.
|
|
| 2013-03-17 r320 | 5.137.210 | Bug Fix
Allow moving an item within the same conference.
(Previously, it just disappeared!)
|
|
| 2012-12-26 r317 | 5.137.208 | Build Feature
Caucus may be built with "./configure --noldap" to disable
all of the LDAP features. This may make the build process
simpler for newer releases of Linux.
|
|
| 2012-12-22 r315 | 5.136.208 | Diagnostic Feature
When the swebs log feature is enabled (by creating a file called "debug" in the SOCKET directory),
all MySQL queries are logged, along with the time it took to execute them.
|
|
| 2012-07-20 r308 | 5.135.208 | Bug fix
%myGroupConfs() macro was counting deleted items as "new"!
|
|
| 2012-06-29 r303 | 5.135.206 | Performance
Major improvements in speed of
reading new responses, or adding new responses, to an item
with a lot of responses.
Previously could be very slow.
|
|
| 2012-05-17 r297 | 5.134.205 | Bug fix
New gcc compilers were blowing up trying to build the LDAP
libraries for Caucus.
|
|
| 2012-03-15 r294 | 5.134.205 | Bug fix
Searching a conference sometimes showed the text of responses that
had been deleted.
This has been fixed!
|
|
| 2011-11-10 r288 | 5.133.201 | New Feature
Add %ifaceConference(interface confName itemLabel respNum link-text)
macro, which goes to a conference (item/response), while
switching interface at the same time.
|
|
| 2011-11-10 r288 | 5.133.201 | New Feature
Add %ifaceConference(interface confName itemLabel respNum link-text)
macro, which goes to a conference (item/response), while
switching interface at the same time.
|
|
| 2011-09-29 r286 | 5.133.199 | New Features
Add %watchitoo() macro, to integrate with the
Watchitoo
video/chat/meeting service.
Fixes for free and "professional" versions of
xupload "progress bar" file upload dialog.
|
|
| 2011-05-19 r279 | 5.133.197 | Bug fix
Items and responses by deleted users did not appear in CSNAP'd text.
|
|
| 2011-04-14 r269 | 5.133.195 | New Feature
Add optional live progress-bar meter for file uploads.
|
|
| 2011-04-07 r266 | 5.133.194 | Bug fix
Could not rename a conference to a name that had been
previously used by a deleted conference.
|
|
| 2011-04-03 r265 | 5.132.194 | Bug fixes
1. Center page -> People, enter name and press Find: list is empty.
2. Response posting very slow at times.
(Add items_id key to resps table.)
|
|
| 2011-03-19 r263 | 5.132.192 | New feature
Conference organizer "customize CSS" page now has a link to let
you examine the existing CSS file.
If none, neither the link nor the Delete button appear.
|
|
| 2011-03-13 r262 | 5.132.191 | Bug fix
Checking the 'select' box next to a response could allow
deleting the response, even though the user was not an
organizer or did not own the response.
(Ouch!)
|
|
| 2011-03-13 r261 | 5.132.190 | Bug fix
People page: show "last time in" a conference for each matching person.
|
|
| 2011-03-13 r259 | 5.132.189 | New feature
Each conference may have its own CSS file, which
overrides all other styles.
|
|
| 2011-03-10 r258 | 5.132.188 | Bug fix
When calculating which tags are prohibited (removed) from
response display, always merge the master prohibited tag
list with the individual conference prohibited tag list.
(Otherwise, tags can appear on the master list, but not show
up in the conference list, and not get used.)
|
|
| 2011-03-03 r256 | 5.132.187 | Minor improvements
1. Make kit compile under some obstinate SuSE boxes.
2. Extend "new material" calculation switches (see 5.131.186 below)
so that the calculation for individually-permissioned items
can be turned off for a specific list of userids
(defined as swebd.conf Config parameter 'disableIndividualItems'),
even while it is turned on for everyone else.
|
|
| 2011-02-17 r253 | 5.131.187 | Bug fix
IE users could not attach a file to a response with the richtext
editor.
|
|
| 2011-02-13 r249 | 5.131.186 | Bug fix
Copying and moving responses failed in 5.131.185. Feature(?) Added swebd.conf configuration parameter "Config individualItems on". Without this, the calculation of "what is new" on the Center page ignores the effect of individually-permissioned items. (For a large site, that calculation can get very slow, so it is disabled by default.) |
|
| 2011-02-10 r249 | 5.131.185 | Feature(?)
The number of ithe highest-numbered item (or breakout to an item)
is re-used if that item (or breakout) is deleted.
(E.g. create item 5, delete it, create a new item, and it
now has number 5.)
|
|
| 2011-02-10 r245 | 5.130.185 | Bug fixes.
1. Make CML 'return' statement work properly from inside while, for, etc. loops!
2. Prevent copying an item to one of it's descendant breakouts.
|
|
| 2011-02-03 r240 | 5.129.183 | Bug fixes.
1. Sometimes lists of conferences (such as in pulldowns)
included deleted conferences.
2. Make recursive item copying that includes quiz items
work properly.
|
|
| 2011-01-20 r236 | 5.128.181 | New Feature.
When copying items with breakouts, now the
items are copied "recursively" --
meaning the breakouts, and their
breakouts, get copied, too.
|
|
| 2011-01-03 r232 | 5.127.181 | New Feature.
When defining a CML-box or CML-line field on
the "manage the user information fields" page,
enable the check boxes for Mgr/Self/Pub/Reg choices.
This is especially helpful when using special-purpose
macros on the registration and self-edit pages, so
that they can appear in both places.
|
|
| 2011-01-03 r229 | 5.127.180 | New Feature.
$item_parse() can now handle a wildcard in an item
number or breakout.
E.g. |
|
| 2010-12-20 r223 | 5.126.180 | New Feature.
Individual items may be set to automatically be visible
or hidden based on a date range.
|
|
| 2010-12-11 r222 | 5.126.179 | Bug fix.
Customize / "Produce user reports" produced an empty report.
|
|
| 2010-12-07 r221 | 5.126.178 | New Feature.
Add %itemMapFrame() macro.
Same as %itemMap(), but embedded in page
(actually inside an <iframe>)
instead of a pop-up.
|
|
| 2010-11-11 r212 | 5.126.175 | Bug fix.
Registration page.
If there are pull-down choices containing multiple words,
the choices appeared with binary characters instead of spaces.
|
|
| 2010-11-11 r211 | 5.126.175 | Improved Feature.
When creating an item and geolocation is enabled,
the geolocation of the item appears on,
and is editable from, the "create item" page.
|
|
| 2010-11-10 r209 | 5.126.174 | Bug fix.
"Manage => Look & Feel => Create site wide user fields",
manager can now define multiple "text > 255 chars" fields.
|
|
| 2010-11-04 r208 | 5.125.174 | Bug fix.
When an item was created, Post & Go returned
to the "which kind of item do you want to create" page.
It now goes back to the page that had the "create item" link.
|
|
| 2010-11-03 r207 | 5.125.173 | New macro.
Add %createItem(link text).
If user can create (any kind of an) item,
displays link to "create a new item" page.
Otherwise empty.
|
|
| 2010-10-30 r205 | 5.125.172 | New feature -- improved geolocation of responses.
The %itemMap() macro has been modified to
(a) only show items,
(b) include a pre-specified zoom factor,
(c) show item titles when hovering over a marker, and
(d) clicking on a marker pops-up a window with just the item text.
|
|
| 2010-10-14 r203 | 5.125.171 | New feature -- improved geolocation of responses. The geolocation of items and responses may be edited, and the mapping of IP address to lat/long and location name may be saved and re-used for new responses from the same IP. Responses may be "marked" so that they can be shown on a map. The new macro %itemMap() displays the locations of the selected items and optionally their responses, on a single map. Add new CML function $urlEncode(string). | |
| 2010-08-23 r197 | 5.124.170 | New feature -- Shared items! Items may now be shared across multiple conferences. Caveats: (a) only someone who is an organizer in both conferences can share an item. (b) any given item may only appear once in a conference, it can't be shared-in more than once. (c) Breakouts to a shared item that occur after sharing do not get shared. New feature -- surveys Survey items are a lot like quiz items, but without the scoring. This is an early draft, with more to follow. | |
| 2010-08-19 r192 | 5.123.168 | Bug fix. Normal users could not edit their own responses. New feature. Changed new geo-location features to save and display the name of their location (e.g. city/state/country) next to their response, instead of the (distracting) globe icon. Also added an organizer customize-level switch to enable or disable showing the geo-locations. | |
| 2010-08-15 r191 | 5.123.167 | Bug fix. Deleted items sometimes appear in "email notification" emails. | |
| 2010-08-14 r190 | 5.123.166 | Bug fix. "Special" Caucus URLs in item or response text must be able to handle the breakout-item syntax, e.g. http://myhost.com/caucus/conferenceName/1.2.3/15 goes to response 15 of breakout item 1.2.3. | |
| 2010-08-12 r188 | 5.122.166 | New Features. First draft of geolocation features for items and responses. | |
| 2010-08-07 r186 | 5.122.165 | New Features. First beta release of new wiki & blog features. New version of rich-text editor, with support for Safari. | |
| 2010-07-11 r178 | 5.121.163 | Bug fix. When copying an item with deleted responses, sometimes the deleted responses reappear in the copy. | |
| 2010-06-30 r176 | 5.121.162 | New Feature. First experimental version of "blog" items, which are automatically published to the public web. | |
| 2010-06-05 r173 | 5.119.160 | New Feature. Create a new type of item, the "Wiki". A wiki item may be edited by any member of the conference, and a complete version history is retained. Any old version may be restored to the "current" version. | |
| 2010-05-02 r170 | 5.119.157 | Bug fix. Copying an item (from "manage items individually") adds an extra newline to the end of the (new) item title. | |
| 2010-05-01 r168 | 5.119.156 | Feature. When conferences, items, or responses are deleted, they are only "marked" as deleted, and the user interface just skips around them. They still really exist in the database. | |
| 2010-05-01 r166 | 5.119.155 | Bug fix. New move-item code broke the display of items on the "mark individually" page. Bug fix. Restoring a conference from an archive did not restore any "quiz" items. | |
| 2010-04-24 r135 | 5.119.154 | Bug fix. Moving an item now really moves the item, and all of its child break-out items. Feature. Deleting a conference now just marks it as deleted, it can be restored via a simple MySQL query. Later a "purge" option will be added to fully delete anything marked as deleted. | |
| 2010-03-27 r135 | 5.119.153 | Feature. Manage / Email-all-users now supports attaching a file to the outgoing email. Ditto for a conference organizer emailing all members of a conference. | |
| 2010-03-06 r134 | 5.119.152 | Bug fix. Could not attach a file to a new breakout item. | |
| 2010-03-06 r133 | 5.119.151 | Bug fix. To make a "breakout" from an item or response, the item must (a) not be frozen, and (b) the user must have include or higher access to the item. | |
| 2010-03-03 r132 | 5.119.150 | Bug fix. A user without access to an "individually permissioned" item could still see the item, by clicking on a person who could see the item, then choosing "list all items seen" for that person. | |
| 2010-02-15 r131 | 5.119.149 | OpenId integration. Caucus can now use OpenId's for user authentication. This also provides easier integration with other social networking tools. | |
| 2009-11-29 r129 | 5.118.149 | CSNAP Bug fix. CSNAP creates static "snapshots" of a Caucus site. Recent code to handle individually-permissioned items "broke" the way CSNAP listed items on a conference home page. | |
| 2009-11-29 r128 | 5.118.149 | Speed improvement. The rendering of the list of new items and responses per conference can be slow on the Center page, if there are "individually permissioned items" (items that have specific access control beyond the conference-level access control). This fix greatly speeds up the rendering for conferences that do not have such individually permissioned items. | |
| 2009-11-28 r126 | 5.118.148 | Feature. Add new CML function $timems(), epoch time in milliseconds. Mostly used for timing and debugging MySQL queries inside Caucus. | |
| 2009-09-28 r120 | 5.116.148 | Utility. Add badCharFilter.c, program to remove "bad" characters (such as MSWord fancy quotes) from Caucus data, and replace them with simple ASCII equivalents. | |
| 2009-09-28 r119 | 5.116.148 | Bug fix. Create conference, list userids of initial organizers. They were getting instructor permission, not organizer permission. | |
| 2009-09-26 r117 | 5.115.148 | Flashcoms chat integration. Add a column confs.lastAccess with epoch timestamp of last access to a conference. Will be used to create list of recently-used conferences, for Flashcoms chat integration. | |
| 2009-09-24 r112 | 5.115.147 | Look-and-feel. Extend the "top-of-page banner" option to include a centered image (in addition to the existing left and right images). | |
| 2009-09-22 r108 | 5.115.146 | Simplify database. Make grouprules.grkey primary key auto-increment. Remove $sql_sequence(grouprules) call, and grouprules sequence table. | |
| 2009-09-16 r107 | 5.114.145 | Performance. Change all tables to InnoDB engine(!). | |
| 2009-09-16 r106 | 5.113.144 | Performance. Remove auto_increment from table/column resps.rnum, and modify code to generate rnum values directly. | |
| 2009-08-31 r98 | 5.113.143 | Bug fix, $group_access(). Previously returned -2 if there were no relevant rules. Now it correctly returns 0. | |
| 2009-08-31 r97 | 5.112.143 | Bug fix, item permissions. Users must be able to edit their own items. Some other permissions on items were buggy, including organizer-level access granted to specific users on individual items. | |
| 2009-08-28 r96 | 5.112.142 | Enhancement, integration. Improve single-signon integration options, specifically aimed at supporting OpenId. Rewrite MD5 hash function, and make logout from Auth method 3 force-clear the relevant cookie(s) so that the user doesn't stay logged-in. | |
| 2009-08-28 r73 | 5.111.142 | Bug fix, help. Add missing help page for "Tasks". | |
| 2009-08-24 r69 | 5.111.142 | Enhancement, people. Add an interface-specific checkbox (to "modify interface") to control whether "(userid)" is displayed after a user's name. If set, this control overrides the system-wide setting in "Caucus switches". | |
| 2009-08-24 r68 | 5.111.141 | Bug fix, people. The one remaining use of the (4.x version) $per_lastin() function sometimes caused the "show everyone in this conference" page (members.cml) to crash. Removed it, only MySQL "last in" data is displayed. | |
| 2009-08-23 r67 | 5.111.140 | Bug fix, editor. A bug briefly disabled the "plaintext" editor. | |
| 2009-08-23 r66 | 5.111.139 | Bug fix, items. Fix organizer ability to change item & response owner. | |
| 2009-08-20 r63 | 5.111.138 | Change default options. Make RTE the default editor. Make default tag filter prohibit javascript. | |
| 2009-08-19 r60 | 5.111.137 | Bug fix. Make %ifs_resp() macro ignore item = 0. Appeared in rare cases in filesafe headers, for unknown reasons. | |
| 2009-08-19 r59 | 5.111.137 | Enhancement, responses. Responses may be limited to a specific number of words. Do not apply the limit to users with organizer or instructor access to the item. On the edit item page, align the fields more neatly. | |
| 2009-08-16 r56 | 5.111.136 | Bug fix, people. When creating a new user, sometimes the first name and other optional fields were ignored. | |
| 2009-08-10 r53 | 5.111.136 | Disable 'show userid'. If global "show userid" switch is off, disable displaying '(userid)' after names on "who is on now" page. | |
| 2009-08-09 r52 | 5.111.136 | SWF Videos Add %swfVideo() macro to show .swf videos inside a page. | |
| 2009-08-02 r51 | 5.111.136 | Disable 'show userid'. Jenzabar fix. If global "show userid" switch is off, disable displaying '(userid)' after names on people list or person pop-up pages. Add Jenzabar-created users to all wild-card group lists. | |
| 2009-07-20 r48 | 5.111.136 | Jenzabar features. Create/update Caucus user's name and email address, using data sent from Jenzabar. | |
| 2009-07-16 r39 | 5.111.136 | Bug fix, filesafe. Idiot-proof filesafe section creation so that filesafes can not get clobbered by a dying process. | |
| 2009-07-04 r38 | 5.111.135 | New feature, conference creation. When restoring (creating) from archive, add checkbox to allow setting all dates in new conf to now. | |
| 2009-07-04 r37 | 5.111.135 | Integration. Add useridTimeHasher utility program, intended for SSO support with flashcoms video IM. | |
| 2009-07-04 r35 | 5.111.135 | Integration. Add $md5hash() function, intended for SSO support with flashcoms video IM. | |
| 2009-06-23 r34 | 5.110.135 | Macros. Extend %ifs_popup macro to add width=, height= parameters for pop-up window. | |
| 2009-06-19 r33 | 5.110.134 | Bug fix, macros. Fix %ifs macros to properly convert item numbers (labels) in the macro calls, to item ids, inside the macro implmentations. | |
| 2009-06-18 r32 | 5.110.133 | Bug fix, item display. Fix item # display in viewitema.i (print item or print conference) | |
| 2009-06-18 r30 | 5.110.133 | Feature, conference 'print'. Implement print button on conference home page. | |
| 2009-06-05 r29 | 5.110.132 | Feature, email.
Added new way to email directly to an item.
|
|
| 2009-04-11 r27 | 5.110.131 | Feature, items. Properly sort list of items (on conference home page) by title(!). | |
| 2009-03-18 r26 | 5.110.131 | Feature, people. Add a standard (default) picture for users who do not upload a picture. | |
| 2009-03-18 r25 | 5.110.131 | Feature, people. On the people gallery page (see %peoplegallery() macro), make each person clickable -- produces normal person pop-up page. | |
| 2009-02-23 r24 | 5.110.131 | Feature, statistics. Record IP address at user login, in table events.s1. | |
| 2009-01-17 r21 | 5.110.130 | Feature, people/integration. On the Google map of a group of people (see %groupMap() macro), clicking on a person marker now pops-up the normal person page. | |
