Change Log (ABPro for Joomla 1.5)

ABPro Change Log for ABPro Joomla 1.5

New in version 2.0.4:

• Staff Only UDFs - you can define UDFs as being for Staff only and they will only appear on the staff booking screen.
• ABPro now tracks the operator's user id for bookings created or modified via the staff booking screen.

 

New in version 2.0.3:

• SEO support on all screens.

Caveat: ABPro 2.0.3 is tested with 'Use URL rewriting' enabled and the Joomla supplied htaccess file.
As the htaccess file is designed to muck with URLs, changes made to that file may affect ABPro operation when running with URL rewriting enabled.

• In multi-language operation, the {svkey} processing was missed in the case of the 'Too Late To Cancel' message being used interactively. Fixed

• If you are displaying a resource with res-spec UDFs then change to a category with more than one resource, the res-spec UDF block is not processed, staying on the display of the original res-spec UDFs. As soon as your customer chooses a resource the situation corrects itself. Fixed
