New Features

  • Made the following additions with respect to uKnowva Crons:
    • Added Last Cron Activity in System Information under uKnowva Configuration

    • Added a notification on the Global Configuration page if crons are not running on an instance
    • Admin can also select the cron frequency from Global Configuration

  • Added the option to show folders in Latest Documents module
  • Added the class="uf%file.type%" in all the attachment html in uknowvaui. This is used by renderer plugins
  • Added the option to handle 206 HTTP header in embedFile function of UvwdocsFile model. This allows uKnwova to stream large content
  • Introduced a function reportErrorToUknowva in convHelper class which updates uKnowva server about the error through an API. This is a good method to identify and fix recurring and frequent errors
  • Added a new Usergroups configuration parameter to widgets

  • Disabled overriding the template by editing the URL
  • Poll creator or Admin can now edit Polls from the front end

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed the bug of a broken image displayed in the Add Member option in Groups. The broken image was displayed in case a user had not uploaded an avatar
  • Fixed the issue of the dropdown in Advanced Search not searching according to Role, if the role has sub user groups
  • Fixed the bug in uKnowvaModel::getFromRecentRequest(). Arrays were not getting considered. The issue was fixed by adding this line: $vars = is_array($vars) ? $vars : explode(",",$vars);
  • Fixed the issue of the announcement link in notification email opening the group page instead of the announcement page
  • Fixed the issues of COM_COMMUNITY_GROUPS_BULLETIN_PATHWAY_TITLE coming in breadcrumbs when reading announcements in groups
  • Fixed the bug of sub user groups not being considered when we select certain user groups in Allow Upload Access under Global Configuration
  • Fixed the bug in getSubUserGroups of JUserhelper which returns wrong value when a group does not have any children
  • Fixed the error where linkify was not working for https links

For Our Developers

  • Introduced a new function called belongsToGroup(); in User class. This class checks if a user belongs to the provided group. Simply use it this way: uKnowvaFactory::getUser()belongsToGroup($groupid); This will check for user groups and not community groups. Read more about this class here
  • Cached the function JUserHelper::getSubUserGroups();
  • Added function JUserHelper::getGroupByName() in class JUserHelper. This function gives a user’s group info on the basis of its name
  • Changed the reference of facebook in tokeninput css to ukv so that it is never blocked by any firewall in organizations
  • Minified /media/conv/js/common.js
  • Added multiple="multiple attribute" as default in uKnowvaui::mutiselect();
  • Added the onchange trigger in uKnowvaUI::switchButton();
  • Developers can now get a user’s profile link using the function getProfileLink() in CUser class
  • Added a new event in Joomla login: onUserLoginSuccess which is triggered only after successful login in /libraries/joomla/application/application.php
  • Added code to remove the cache of menus, _system, etc., when a user is edited/added. The code was added in /components/com_cuser/controller.php
  • Introduced a new function linkify( $string , $noFollow = false , $newWindow = false ) under ConvHelper to linkify any text. This function detects URLs in text (like status updates and emails) and automatically links them
