7.1 existing shipped before bug fixes

The following bug fixes were incorporated into release 7.1.

Item Description Found in release
446 The Media Gallery - Media Gallery Banner widget does not allow you to set a custom title for the widget. 5.6, 6.0 (IE8)
499 If you post a duplicate thread or Q/A item to a forum, you now receive a more meaningful error message that tells you the content is duplicated: "A thread exists that is a duplicate of this thread." 5.6
3440 When a blog post is published after being first saved as a draft, the blog post date now shows the publication date instead of the creation date. 6.0 (FF3 & IE8)
9174 The search engine results page layout has been updated so that filters don't overlap or get cut off in some browsers. 6.0 (IE8 & IE9)
10219 The Recommended Content widget header now identifies when only one type of content is shown. For example if only one type of post is shown - such as when only the "blog posts" option is checked in the widget configuration - the header will now include the application type (e.g., "Similar blog posts"). If multiple kinds of posts are included, the header will simply say "Similar posts."
21153 When overriding the application score decay on a group (Group > Edit this group > Score configuration), you don't have to press Enter on the keyboard to set the new decay value; the value will remain configured on the tab until you change it or reset it to default. In fact, pressing Enter after making such a change will not result in any action. 7.0 (FF13, Chrome 17)
21519 When you create an activity message via REST
(Endpoint: users/2100/activities.xml
Data: UserId=2100&MessageBody=sample+data+a&MessageType=CustomType&MessageSubject=sample
Method: POST)
the activity message now looks like an activity message generated in the user interface. To effect this change, formatting checks are not performed on the endpoint-generated message, and the message properly uses resources.
21532 If a user is banned from a site, an admin no longer sees a link to impersonate this user from the Control Panel (Membership Administration > Members and Roles > Manage Users > [User] > Edit). Note that if you remove the ban on this user, you will need to navigate to his/her profile page again in order to see the Impersonate link. It will not be immediately available after changing the account status. 7.0
21591

When a forum has a mailing list added and the mailing list is set to passive mode, forum subscribers now receive emails when appropriate.

21597

When you configure an RSS Feed widget, the widget will display a message if you do not include a feed URL.

21619

When no tags are present for the application type and container/group, the Select Tags option does not display any tag check boxes.

7.0
21671

When using Windows Authentication, a banned user does not see the date his/her ban expires when receiving a message about being banned.

21672 If a banned user's account is restored ("account status: approved") in a WinAuth environment after previously being banned, he/she is not forced to log back in.
21702 Hashtags and mentions are now supported in the wiki comment editor. 7.0
21707 When you edit a wiki page comment, you can now create hashtags in the comment text. 7.0
21741 If a user adds a URL not containing HTTP:// to his/her Settings > Basic Options tab "Shared feeds" area, he/she now receives a message that "One or more of your feeds appears to be invalid or in an incorrect format." 7.0
21875 An unnecessary database call was removed from the Wiki - Page Details widget.
22055 The retrieval of the shutdown reason for Telligent Evolution was changed from reflection to System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.ShutdownReason.
22064 The Group - Members List widget allows you to enable or disable paging in the widget configuration. 7.0
22141 Drop-down lists on the Control Panel Manage Widgets tab (Control Panel Dashboard > System Administration > Site Administration > Widget Studio > Manage Widgets) Import Resources or Export Resources dialog boxes are correctly displayed in IE9. 7.0
22150 The username configuration in Control Panel  user creation (Control Panel > System Administration > Membership Administration > Members and Roles > Create New Account) now allows 64 characters instead of 256 characters. This limit has been changed because the operation that creates/updates/deletes users will truncate any name containing more than 64 characters. 5.6, 6.0, 6.1, 7.0
22212 When you import or export a theme or revert a widget, you now see a spinner displayed while the operation is in progress, and receive a confirmation message after the operation is complete.
22508 If the Group - Members List widget is configured to display Simple view when used in the Fiji theme, it now correctly displays user information when you hover over the user name. 7.0
22557 Email now supports application extensions ($core_v2_application), content extensions ($core_v2_content), and container extensions ($core_v2_container). You can use these extensions for your own applications.
22581 Status message attachments no longer display the Site Root group when displayed in theater view. 7.0
22586 When you click a suggested extension in the Widget Studio API Documentation window (displayed on the Manage Widgets tab), there is no longer a delay in the selection. 7.0
22589 Media gallery activity stories for non-previewable content (such as an added XML or TXT file) have been adjusted so their icon size and text position are consistent with other post displays. 7.0
22619 When a group owner receives a contact message from a group member, the message count in the Group - Links widget no longer wraps incorrectly. 6.1
22672 The membership approval email that a user receives when his/her account has been approved now has simple text links on the home/user settings links.
22714 When a second language pack (such as French) is installed and selected in User Settings, the user profile User - Navigation widget links appear correctly in the selected language.
22715 When the French language pack is installed and selected in the user Settings > Basic Options tab, you can now edit groups in Control Panel.

Endpoint: forums/<forumid>/threads.xml
Data: Subject=NewPost&Body=NewPostBody&PostDate=2000-08-18 16:39:00.263
Method: POST)
both ThreadDate and DateCreated are now set to the specified PostDate value.
22846 Telligent.Evolution.ScriptedContentFragments.dll is now versioned. 7.0
22943 Hashtag creation is quicker and more accurate, but no longer supports multi-word hashtag creation. Pre-existing multi-word tags (created as standard tags) can still be selected when adding a hashtag.

Hashtags and mentions were updated to ensure the cursor is always positioned after a selected mentionable or tag, including when the item is added in the middle of a larger text block (regardless of browser). Formerly, the cursor could be placed at the end of the entire block.
7.0
22964 Database performance improved when updating groups. The table cs_GroupRoots is not updated unless the updated group’s parent id has been modified. 6.1
22980 The Job Scheduler is now able to process larger jobs more quickly, such as emails containing large attachments. 7.0
22983 You can no longer rename the Administrators group. 7.0

23001 Note that search does not automatically filter out content from non-existent or uninstalled third-party applications. Content developers are responsible for removing this content themselves from search when the plugin is uninstalled. To help make this removal easier, you can now use a query to help remove search content (see #25639). Documentation about removing content from the search index when uninstalled is here. 7.0
23015

Selecting a suggested member from the mention picker now correctly hides other suggestions in certain environments.

7.0
23033 The The FormatDate method now respects both the Format option and AdjustTimeZone option.
23080 The update frequency of scoring jobs ( Telligent.Evolution.Scoring.Jobs.ScoreRecalculationJob and Telligent.Evolution.Scoring.Jobs.MetricRecalculationJob) has been changed from every 15 minutes to every 5 minutes to reduce the volume of changes to be processed in each run. 7.0
23086 The Forum Rating Type option was removed from Post Settings (Control Panel > System Administration > Site Administration > Site Configuration > Post Options). The option to select ratings, likes, or both likes and ratings for forum threads and posts are now moved to the Forum - Thread widget configuration. 7.0
23143

Widget resource imports that include multiple theme versions (for example, Enterprise theme and Default theme) of a widget are corrected so that all resource files are included for all of the included versions. For example, your site might include two versions of the Blog - Title widget - the user interface theme, such as Fiji, and the Default theme. If you export resources for the widget, the export and subsequent re-import of them will include all resource files for each version.

23149 A performance enhancement was made to the Telligent Evolution cs_user_Get dynamic query. 7.0
23794 Reviewed instances of XmlDocument.LoadXml() in the code and updated the cases where user input was processed. 5.6
23811 When you try to create a wiki page having the same title as a previously deleted page, you receive a message stating "A page by this name exists in this wiki already. Please choose another name for this page." 6.1
23836 When you hover the mouse over a user with a very long last name, the name wraps in the hover-over. In the Fiji theme, "Send a private message" is displayed on one line. (IE9, Chrome 21)
23843 @ Mentions and # hashtags work correctly in the rich text editor for blog and other posts.
23845 Hashtag creation has been improved by escaping commas. This change keeps Telligent Community from creating two versions of a tag (that is, one version with comma and one without comma) when you create a hashtag that contains a comma.
23863 When a blog, forum, media gallery, or wiki post is reported as abusive from an email link, the resulting message to the flagging user now says that ""[author username]'s post has been flagged. Thank you for your feedback.” 7.0
23864 When you receive an email confirming that you reported a blog, forum, media gallery, or wiki post is abusive from an email, the option to report it is not available to you again. 7.0
23866 During search index jobs, delete requests are now run before processing each set of documents to index. Previously, the deletes were being executed at the top of the run, which meant the content could sit in the index for a longer period. 7.0
23867 Creating status messages now correctly raises the OnAfterCreate event.
24534 When viewing source code on a blog post page, the Velocity code for the  Blog - Post widget no longer renders in the source. 7.0 (IE9, Chrome 21)
24742 If there is a special character such as an ampersand (&) in a group name, the name displays properly and is no longer double-encoded. 7.0 (Chrome 22)
24747 For the Enterprise theme, the Wikis - Add Comment Form and  Wikis - Comment List widgets were added to the default wikis-pagelist page. This enables you to create and view comments on the default page of a wiki.
24748 The title of a wiki page in the Wikis - Title widget no longer displays the wiki name twice. 7.0
25393 If a user is @ mentioned in a status message, the mentioned user will see a truncated entry 25 characters or shorter in his/her @ mentions tab. 7.0 Enterprise theme
25395 A rel=nofollow was added to all tag links in order to reduce bot traffic.
25396 The following sitemap improvements were made to prevent unnecessary indexing:
  • Site sitemaps contain group sitemaps.
  • Content pages have been added to group sitemaps.
  • Sitemaps for different forums are different from each other, and each matches its forum.
  • In a sitemap if the date added/last updated is less than 31 days ago, update frequency is daily. If the date added/last updated is less than 93 days ago, update frequency is weekly. If the date added/last updated is less than a year ago, update frequency is monthly. If the date added/last updated is more than a year ago,  update frequency is yearly.
25397 The SiteUrls.config file was updated to make page names that previously contained uppercase characters (such as CreateUser.aspx) all lowercase (now createuser.aspx). Previously a name containing uppercase letters had to go through a redirect to force them into all lowercase letters. Application and group pages are set to be indexed on the first page only.
25412 A 403 - Forbidden message is displayed if there is an attempt to reach source code.
25452 If both the Blogs - Browse Blogs widget and Forums - Browse Forums widget are added to the same page, both widgets function properly.
25456 When a user sends another user a friendship request, the request email contains the requester name in the subject instead of the requestee. For example, if User A attempts to friend User B, User B will receive an email stating "Friendship Request: User A" in the email subject.
25469 When editing a wiki page in the rich text editor (TinyMCE) full view, you can @ mention another user.
25472

25639 A new API has been created to delete by query for search indexing. This API is: PublicApi.Search.Delete(SearchResultsDeleteOptions options).
25643 If you delete revisions of a wiki page via the REST API, you are now able to edit the wiki page (creating another revision) without causing collisions.
27698 The list of content likers is now scrollable if the list is too long for the modal window.
