Hi everyone,

We've just released CMS Builder v3.59, this is the official release with a few more fixes since the last beta release.

This is mostly a maintenance release with some PHP 8.x fixes and performance improvements.

Here's the changelog:

*** June 2, 2023 - Version 3.59 (PHP 8 now required)

SERVER REQUIREMENTS
- This software version REQUIRES: PHP 8.0+ and MySQL 5.5+

MINOR CHANGES
- Server Info: "Admin > General > Server" has been updated to display more info about server
- Server Info: "Admin > General > Server" now provides links for viewing MySQL status and variables
- Backups: CMS Backups are now created as temp files and renamed on completion to prevent partial backups on error
- Translations: Added some additional text to the translation system
- Viewers: date searches now work with special createdDate and updatedDate fields
- Languages: Made some additional text translatable

BUG FIXES & CODE UPDATES
- MySQL 8 Support: Renamed _cron_log table column "function" to "functionName" (reversed name)

- Swift Mailer: Fixed some additional PHP 8.x warnings and errors.
- Fixed minor bug in SVG detection causing false positives in non-SVG images

- Remove /3rdParty/PHP_Compat/ PHP compatibility libraries that aren't required with PHP 8
- Prevented "Erase" button from appearing on Single Record Sections where it's not functional.

Hi Jeff,

I don't think that was changed recently, but if it was we can look at reverting it. Which version did you last have that in and what's the exact HTML that's being output or that you're looking for?

Thanks!

It may have been a custom mod on my part that I did not document. It is a very handy mod.

cmsb/lib/menus/default/list_functions.php

function _getColumnDisplayValueAndAttributes($fieldname, &$record) {
  global $schema, $tableName;
  $fieldValue  = @$record[$fieldname];
  $fieldSchema = @$schema[ $fieldname ];
  if ($fieldSchema) { $fieldSchema['name'] = $fieldname; }

  // default display value and attribute
  if (!is_array($fieldValue)) { $fieldValue = htmlencode($fieldValue); }
  $displayValue = $fieldValue;

  //$tdAttributes = "style='text-align:left'";
  $tdAttributes = "style='text-align:left' data-column='$fieldname'"; // JAS mod

Another mod I find useful is adding a clearfix to the tabgroup to prevent unsightly display when displaying some text in a separator tab

## cmsb/lib/fieldtypes/tabGroup.php

around line 40

$html .= '<div class="tab-content clearfix" id="sectionTabContent">'; // JAS add clearfix
