Hey All,

We've just released v3.15 (and we're running it live on our website!).

This release focuses mainly on bug fixes and minor improvements, which include:

  • Section Editors:
    • Added a new section editor field "Section Description" for HTML to be displayed below section titles.
    • Fixed a Javascript error when using advanced filter list fields.
    • Fixed broken links on Searching and Sorting tabs.
    • Fixed a bug on "view" pages for multi-record sections that use upload fields.
  • File Uploading:
    • Uploaded jpegs are now automatically rotated as needed while being saved based on the photo's Exif data.
    • Updated the image resizing code to use less memory to help prevent out-of-memory errors when uploading images with large dimensions. This may be slightly slower in some cases, but the overall performance impact should be small.
    • Improvements to file upload error reporting.
  • CMSB Upgrading: Fixed a bug in certain cases with multiple CMSB databases, and improved error reporting.

Here's the complete changelog for v3.15:

Hi Jerry,

Thanks for the feedback.

Regarding the separator labels, there's a quick fix you can do to prevent "Copy of" from being added. In /cmsb/lib/menus/database/editField_functions.js look for the following line (line 74 of the latest CMSB):

$('#label').val("Copy of " + $('#label').val());

This can be replaced with:

if ($('#fieldType').val() != 'separator') {
  $('#label').val("Copy of " + $('#label').val());
}

This change will also find its way into the next version of CMSB.

Being able to insert fields at a specific point does sound like a helpful feature, and we'll keep it in mind for potential future UI improvements.

Thanks!
