TOPIC: DT Register 2.3.3 - Feature Release!

We are very excited to inform you about another new release for DT Register! We have now made available 2.3.3. This version addresses a number of miscellaneous bugs that some users have encountered, although all of the major ones were already dealt with. More than that, 2.3.3 brings into play many new great enhancements! These improvements include:

- Added Search to the frontend list of events
- Added ability to reorder categories and events on the frontend list
- When redirecting to PayPal, user data is now auto-populated in the paypal form for those who do not login to an account.
- Improved usage of javascript to help avoid conflicts that some users encountered with other extensions
- Added Maximum group number option so you can limit the number of people that can register in a group registration.
- Added ability to Disable the waiting list feature. If disabled and the event is full, users just get a simple message telling them the event is full.
- Added ability to Disable the option for saving payment information when CB integration is being used. Now you can keep CB integration on without having to offer the save payment option.
- Added ability to specify custom field usage in a group registration. You can use the field for each member, billing page, or both.
- Updated all extras: Upcoming Events module, EventLink mambot/plugin and JEvents patch files to support recent changes in the component.
- NEW UPDATED VIDEO TUTORIALS are also available!
A lot of work has went into DT Register in recent months and we continue to improve on it, as well always will! We hope you enjoy and appreciate the new functionality and improvements that have been made.

ALL USERS SHOULD UPGRADE TO THIS VERSION!! If you are having any issues using an older version, you will need to upgrade. If your issue persists, you can log a support ticket.

To upgrade your current DT Register installation, login to your account, go to My Orders and click the Download link. UNZIP the downloaded file and follow the instructions in the included ReadMe file. When you uninstall the current version and reinstall the new one, you will NOT lose any of your events, settings or records. Of course, it is always a good idea to backup your database tables for DT Register just in case.

We hope you all can appreciate and benefit from the continued work we are doing on DT Register! More still to come!

I forgot to mention that 2.3.3 also adds an awareness of event publishing in JEvents. If you unpublish the event in JEvents, then it will not show on the frontend of DT Register or in the Upcoming Events module.

Also, previously there was a bug where all day events in JEvents would show up in DT Register one day off from the JEvents setting. This was due to time zone settings and such between the server and your joomla config. This has also been corrected so anyone that fought with that issue will no longer have to.

Two significant bugs were found in the initial 2.3.3 release that we have fixed already and updated the 2.3.3 package.

1) Events that were not in a category did not show at all. If that was you, then you freaked out thinking your events were all lost. They were just not being displayed.

2) The new custom field parameters at the bottom of the event details in the backend Event Management were not working 100% and fields were showing up incorrectly in some instances.

We just updated the package as of 4:42pm EST on 12/19/08. Please download DT Register again. You can either reinstall it or just extract the files and manually update these two files:
