WIKINDX v6.10.0 Release Candidate 1

Focus: bug fixes, feature enhancements, and improvements

We have prepared a Release Candidate of the next WIKINDX release: X.Y.Z. Note that this beta version is not for production use. However, we would appreciate the help of dedicated WIKINDX users in testing the beta version in order to ensure that the final 6.7.1 release is of the highest quality. A beta tester should be able to set up and manage a test WIKINDX environment, ideally populated with data from their production environment. We expect the beta release period to last two(?) weeks during which bugs will be reported and fixed. If you are able and willing to beta test with us, then please send an email to sirfragalot@users.sourceforge.net and we will contact you asap.

Feature enhancements

  • Under the Admin|Users... menu, there is now the option to merge two users into one.

Improvements

  • Improved the usability of numeric paging of resource lists and ideas especially where the list is large. For totals that are more than paging * pagingLinks, the new system uses a zooming in and out principle giving quicker access to resources higher up the list.
  • In the popup window displayed when clicking on the cite icon of a single resource, RIS can now be selected as the export of the resource.
  • Ensure RIS output is plain text.
  • Ensure BibUtils output is also available from the Resources|Exported files menu.

Maintenance

  • Allow to configure the CUS server URL from the admin panel [#669].

Bug fixes

  • Ensure user registration requests not only appear on the front page of the admin's WIKINDX but also (back) in the Admin|Users submenu.
  • If $QUICKSEARCH$ was inserted in the front page, the input search term was not always picked up leading to a missing error message or use of the previously entered word.
  • Some fixes to the browserTabID system.
  • Separate the FRONT list ids and search/list/browse ids so that viewing a single resource from either of the types of list gives the right set of ids for the previous and next arrows.
  • For resource lists, fix display of resource users where there is both an add user and an edit user.
  • Fix a deprecation warning on \URL\build_query() call.
  • Remove table wkx_bibtex_string restored by mistake in db schema [#681].
  • Fix some incorrect registering of Yes/No select boxes in the configure interface.
  • Ensure that, if email is disabled, the admin can reset a user's password in the Admin|Users...|Edit interface.
    1- Fix the display of a missing message in RepairKit during users merge.
    1- Fix [#684] editing of collections.
    1- Fix a warning during upgrade step 13 with PHP 8.1.

Security

  • Restrict direct access to config.php file.
