New in mojoPortal 2.3.6.7 (Dec 29, 2011)

New in mojoPortal 2.3.6.6 (Dec 29, 2011)
- Added a new prompt in edit screens to prevent accidently leaving the page if there are unsaved changes in the editor. I know I have experienced occasions myself where I was working on a long blog post or article, and by some strange combination of keystrokes it canceled out of the editor and jumped back a page and lost my work. The new prompt will prevent that.
- Made it possible to browse and preview skins from page settings and/or user profile when per page skins or per user skins are enabled.
- Users in roles that can manage skins can also have access to user specific skins even if it is not enabled for users in general. This makes it possible to work on skin changes or new skins more easily before assigning the skin to the site in general.
- Added support for the new google analytics feature that allows Tracking Page Load time, this is now enabled by default. Once you start capturing this data it is available in a new Site Speed report in the new version of Google Analytics.
- Upgrade to CKeditor 3.6:
- Fixes and improvements in support for Artisteer 3 RC. There have been a few minor changes in the markup generated by Artisteer over the various beta and release candidates of Artisteer 3, making it kind of a moving target to provide support for it. This release of mojoPortal has been updated to work with the latest RC 2 of Artisteer 3, released on May 25. There has also been some under the hood work to make our markup rendering more flexible and this will make it easier to support changes in Artisteer in the future as well as make it possible to support use of HTML 5 structural elements like section and article.
- Added unit sales to some commerce reports.
- Miscellaneous minor bug fixes for things reported in the forums since the last release.
- Updated translations
New in mojoPortal 2.3.6.5 (Dec 29, 2011)
- Editor Updates:
- Both CKeditor and TinyMCE put out new releases with bug fixes and updates, many of which are related to IE 9 and Firefox 4.
- Upgrade to CKEditor 3.5.3
- Upgrade to TinyMCE 3.4.2
- There was an error happening under .NET 4 Medium Trust hosting related to our older FCKeditor. Nothing had changed in this editor for a long time so I'm surprised that we had never seen this error until recently. It makes me wonder if there was some behavior change that came with a recent Windows Update. In any case the error is fixed in this release.
- jQuery Updates:
- Had a bug report about our jQueryUI Date Picker where it was not formatting dates correctly for en-NZ. It turned out that support for en-NZ was only added to the jQueryUI Date Picker as of version 1.8.9, so the solution was to upgrade to a newer version. Updated to jQuery 1.5.2 and jQueryUI 1.8.11
- Support for Newsletter Throttling
- Updates for Artisteer 3 Release Candidate
- Miscellaneous:
- Support for custom regex and error message for email validation on registration page
- Support for configuring the Thread UICulture separately from the Culture.

- Other miscellaneous little tweaks and fixes for things reported in the forums since the last release.

- Image Gallery Improvement:
- Changed to use colorbox, a nicer lightbox effect instead of the previously used greybox
- List/Links Improvement:
- It is now possible to browse in order to link to pages or files within the site, similar to the link browser that was already implemented in the wysiwyg editor, the new link browser populates the url textbox in the List/Links feature.
- Support for Roles That Can Manage Users:
- allows delegating user management to users without making them full administrators.
- Registration Page Improvements:
- Previously we could make custom user profile properties that were required for registration to appear on the registration page, but there was not a way to show optional custom profile properties on the registration page. It is now possible.
- The registration agreement is now per site and has an edit page, previously it came from config files and was global to all sites in an installation.

- The Initial Content System is used to populate the first site during installation and to populate new sites when they are created.

- It is now possible to import and export skins as .zip files and there is a new permission in Site Settings for "Roles That Can Manage Skins". It is also now possible to edit css files in the browser.

New in mojoPortal 2.3.6.1 (Dec 29, 2011)
- Support for Artisteer 3.0 Beta
- New Security Options:
- It is now possible to require approval of new users before they can sign in, a setting in Site Settings enables it and you can specify email addresses to receive notification of new users that need approval, and a new button will appear on the member list page to find users not approved yet if you enable this. This is not a recommended configuration if you are doing ecommerce since it creates more barriers to completing a purchase if the user must wait for approval before he can sign in.

- From Site Settings you can now configure it to require a user to change their password after password recovery or reset.
