Hi everyone,

We've just released v2.15 beta 2 (beta list members will get an email with a download link shortly).

The major new feature of this release is a completely re-written code generator, which includes new generators for creating RSS feeds and Combo Pages (list + detail). In addition, there is a new addGenerator() function which allows for creating custom code generators with plugins.

Here is the changelog:

NEW FEATURES
- Code Generator: Completely re-written code generator
- Code Generator: New code generator menus for: Combo Page, and RSS feeds
- Code Generator: New addGenerator() function for adding custom generators through plugins
- WYSIWYG: Updated TinyMCE to v3.5b3 (Released 2012-29-03) (Fixes Firefox 11 issues)

MINOR CHANGES
- Uploads: Upload file names are now saved in lower case for better cross platform compatibility
- Uploads: When an upload filename already exits and ends in a number the number is now incremented to find a unique filename
- Editors: When admins change the "Created By" user, now only users with access to the section are shown in the pulldown
- Editors: Datepicker icon is now supported for edit search fields that use dates
- Compatibility: Added whitespace to uploadForm_functions.php to avoid a Network Solutions FTP uploading issue
- Compatibility: Spellchecking is now properly disabled on appropriate fields for Firefox 11 (jQuery Bug #6548)
- Docs: Improved install and upgrade docs and added a page on moving servers (online docs)
- Docs: Improved the configuration help messages shown on the install menu.

- Fields: Related Records now support adding a "Create" button through the field editor
- Admin: Removed version number from dashboard/home page
- Code Generator: Image tags generated with double-quotes for consistency
- Code Generator: Added table name to comment above call to getRecords()

CODE CHANGES & BUG FIXES
- Code: Upgraded to jQuery UI 1.8.18
- Code: pluginAction_addHandlerAndLink() and pluginAction_addHandler() now support specifying access levels with a string
- Code: Plugin filter list_buttonsRight() now passed 3rd argument $isRelatedTable and allows adding buttons to related tables
- Code: user_createLoginSession() no longer requires password as a second argument
- Code: Added alias function jsEncode()
- Code: Added plugin filter login_isValidLogin to allow custom authentication
- Code: Added plugin filter edit_show_upload_link to allow overriding of the "Add or Upload File(s)" link
- Fixed loading problem when there were more than two chained selects on a section edit page.
- Fixed tiny_mce compression issue when a server uses ob_gzhandler as their output handler
- Fixed loaded records' _tableName key to be without prefix
- Fixed getRecords' firstPageUrl to respect extra path or query info

Nice upgrade .... just experienced the Firefox 11 wysiwyg problem today. The 2.15 beta1 version that I downloaded the other day fixed it.

I did notice a typo on the code generator page ... I think it should read "...you might have on your site. " rather than "....you might have one your site. "

See the attached screen shot.

In the "How to Install" file there's no mention of setting file and directory permissions. Is this now automatically set by the installer, or do we still need to manually apply permissions?

Hi Zick,

The program now automatically checks for file and directory permissions and alerts you if any changes are required.
All the best,
Chris
