News and Updates

Product updates and more

DT RegisterAs many of you know, the initial 2.7 release was a bit bumpy for many users. I think we fell to the massive pressure from so many users to release it and ended up releasing just a little too early. Since then, we've been working non-stop to address issues and make ongoing improvements. There have been numerous package updates over the last few weeks as we've been resolving issues in groups, doing them in a priority level ordering. Now it's time to release 2.7.1 which contains all fixes to this point as well as a new payment gateway option, Saferpay. While there are some lower level issues remaining that affect only select users, this package is much more stable than the initial 2.7.0 release.

We've been posting in the Announcements category of the forum each package update and listing all of the bug fixes that were addressed. To see fixes in the last few builds, check the forum. Here is what has been done since the 2.7.0i build:

  • Added a new payment option called Saferpay! This gateway is intended for users in Germany and many other European countries. Get more info at http://www.saferpay.com.
  • In the configuration area, the From Name and From Email are required on the Emails tab. While the red X validation alert shows there, if not viewing that tab, it just appears to not be saving as a bug. Not a bug, but confusing. Now, if there is an issue on a tab when you try to save, the tab will display as RED so you know where the issue can be found.
  • Frontend Attendee's list was not displaying some field data correctly. This was fixed so the assigned fields show correctly in their own columns.
  • Corrected the "Could Not Instantiate Email" issue that some users had after attempting to register. This issue would also sometimes cause a duplicate blank record to be created, which was also fixed.
  • Backend manual registrations now check the event capacity to make sure there is room for new registrations.
  • Fatal error showing in backend records and export for select users is now resolved.
  • Fixed issue where the userID assigned to records was being changed to the logged in admin whenever a recorded was edited by the admin in the backend.
  • Minimum and Maximum group member issues resolved that happened sometimes when an event capacity or maximum size was not provided. Alert messages are now fixed.
  • Thank you emails were not including attachments that had been uploaded for the event. Fixed.
  • The new {GROUP_MEMBER} email tag was not working in custom emails. Fixed. Also, the admin emails were showing this tag at the bottom of the email always. Not it will show up exactly where you place it in the config.
  • Conditional fields were still displaying even when unpublished. Not anymore.
  • Conditional fields with fees are not calculating properly.
  • Conditional fields after the 2nd level were remaining onscreen even if the parent field selection was changed to make the field no longer needed. This has been corrected.
  • Status Change and Paid Status Change emails are now sending properly when triggered.
  • Migration script is updated to make sure it pulls in event titles, dates and times from older versions.
  • Pagination now works correctly on frontend event management pages.
  • Upcoming Events module updated to 2.9.3.
