SNAPPS Quickr Templates updated and available for Quickr 8.2
Category QuickrTemplatesI'm happy to say that a couple days ago, we posted both an update for 8.1.0.9 and 8.2 templates! Once again, we've managed (with some difficulty) to keep the same source code for all versions.
There is a trick for new installs of 8.2 that I have to get into the documentation, but I'll post it here for the moment. In qpconfig.xml, you must turn off xsrf in the security section. This is a new setting in 8.2 designed to prevent a rare kind of cross-site scripting attack. When on, Quickr validates a new form is created from a standard place (as in, "New Page or Folder" link). In the templates, however, there are several places where we create a link to open a new form, which triggers this "nonce token check". Bottom line, turn it off. Eventually we'll code the forms and links to comply with the new setting. In the meantime, you were only vulnerable to this kind of XSS if you happened to have Quickr on the extranet, and open for Anonymous access to post. Which you can't really do anyway, except in the blog template.
So, enough boring admin details, new features!
*QMeeting has a new meeting form that supports indentation in the agenda, zero-time agenda items and hiding/showing times. This feature set was sponsored by a customer, the Central Bank of the Bahamas. Thanks!
*QSurvey, QIdeas and QPresent have a new advanced delete function. When using "Delete" in one of the main forms, the delete call is intercepted and replaced with our version which will clean up remnants left behind by that action. In QSurvey, it will delete answers. In QIdeas and QPresent, it will clean up comments and versions. QSurvey also received a new feature, the ability to copy a survey to a new instance with the same questions. Of course, all these features made it into QSite.
*Six templates that have our advanced workflow engine received a new Workflow Setup form, with an enhanced and more intuitive UI for setting up the unlimited workflow steps.
The above features are in the Quickr 8.1.0.9 and 8.2 templates for download as well as the source code.
So - go get the goods and enjoy!
Lots of exciting news coming this week...new template, new free tool going to public beta, and more info coming on CU 2009!
