VS-TrEx 2.1.6.1
  • ** Exchange oopsie:
    •   Banner, Text ad and mini banner exchanges can use manual or regular credits
    •   Prior to this update, the logic for them to use hover credits was not there.

  • ** Confirm upline notification
    •   "You have a referral" notes were sometimes being sent to the "original email" instead of the "current email"
    •   The system did not handle the case where there was no "original email" entry filled in.

  • TrexNet/Other Sites List
    •   Removed the 'your sort #' field from the list display, since it is no loger used.

  • Buy.php:
    •   Added field in purchase section of advanced to change where the 'return' link goes to, at bottom of 'buy'
    •   Corrected class selector for Upgrade & Subscription to only count upgrades at or above members' current level
  • QuickBuy.php:
    •   Wasn't showing "credits" string for Hover Credits.

  • My General:
    •   Credit converter was requring regular AND manual surf to be active, and was igoring hover surf.

  • Skeleton: [%cust/UserPic], et al:
    •   New behavior: if no  member/userpics/image is found, look for /images/NoUserPic.gif
    •   This is before pulling images/UpperLeft.gif if no other image applied.
    •   Note: prior behavior didn't work, because it was hung up on loading user from $_GET['ref']
    •     New behavior loads logged-in user id, or stored referrer, then the 3 standard referral GET's as a last resort
    •   **** force links were not working on type6 drop down menus


  • A403 (24 hr unique views)
    • Displayed title for this block is editable in basic/demographics

  • functiontable: added DumpVisits to the cron table system
    •   This will dump visits table, to manage surfing when the server clock is being problematic

  • Surf/pulse.php: (surf cron): was shutting down if Contro/data/pulse.dat was deleted

  • Control/ccmenupick: added selection for the new real estate module

  • [%cust/User...  settings were pulling logged-in user info, instead of referrer info
    •   Since A26x uses logged-in user now, %cust has been changed to always user referrer

  • SiteID: Records aren't editable because the "Image" field was not defined in the old database:
    •   alter table SiteID add `Image` varchar(220) NOT NULL

  • Site tester: added call to load blacklist.css in the blacklist section, so you could override colors in the style sheet for blacklist output.

  • Auto-draw: If banners, text ads or mini banners were set to draw on Hover credits, odd things happened (negative balances, etc)

  • managecrosslogins:
    •   "Contact forms" count was incorrect.  We have changed the comparison, so it should return good counts now.
  • menu:
    •   in core controls, added drop-down list for payment processor links for pages (no more 'guessing')
    •   in core controls, added a checkbox for 'hide this', so you don't have to "pick a function you'll never enable" to hide a page
      •     (sorry about that... I'm a programmer, and sometimes that's how I think)

  • info/about us:
    •   Changed the contact form to a 'thank you' message once the message has been saved

  • special pages/splash pages:
    •   Added 'name' fields to describe the different splash pages
    •   This also changes the title of the splash page (if shown) in members/promoteus.php

  • way stations:
    •   In member levels, you can now limit the #/sites per way station (max is still 10, default is 10)

  • Added non-monthly subscriptions (weekly, yearly, multi-month)... only works for paypal, alertpay, and maybe MoneyBookers/Skrill

  • Added Liberty Reserve payment processor

  • Added selection of surf-type to "Power Surf", to make framebreaker discovery easier

  • Ad Fast Check:
    •   For non-sites, we show the destination site 1x, regardless of 'tuple', then the media-appropriate display for the ad

  • Ad View/edit:
    •   For banner/mini banners that have been uploaded, we now show the string of the uploaded file
      •     This is in addition to showing the blank graphic field, so it *can* be overridden in core controls

  • List banners/List Mini Banners:
    •   The List System now displays uploaded graphics for these ad types correctly

  • Core/member list:
    •   Added next/prev and entire qualifier form to bottom of page (to save scrolling)

  • Pricing/Membership Levels:
    •   "Surf names" were not used in the commission list... the default names were used instead
    •   Some item classes were pulling item names in the commission list
    •   Referral earning was going 1 level too far, showing 'boss level' earnings
 
 
  • Top 25 / weekly top surfer list
    •   An old 'division' formula was being used, which gets thrown by party surf or surf boost
    •   The new, corrected system uses "hits", which we also now track
    •   Hover surfing was not being counted toward the total #/sites or #/credits
    •   This has been changed in manual (core/toplistbuilder1.php) and auto (autotoplists.php) modes

  • There is a report of an issue where Prize Pages are tripping if "NoSurfBlocksBonus" is enabled, but we haven't been able to duplicate it yet.

  • User editor:
    •   Main user screen: Added 'lockout' checkbox which disables surf and login for a user
    •   User/Notes screen: Added 'Note 2 User' checkbox... if lockout is triggered, this note will show.

  • Surfing (all non-paid-to modes)
    •   Added a field to load files and run functions, removing the need for in-code changes.

When installing, the system will look at your "News/faq/starting" file, and correct a bad automatic code, if found: "%site:RobotID" will be replaced with "%site/RobotEmail".

WHOOPSIE

Oopsie made in the exchanges... last Spring.


Summary: After 2.1.5.1c went out, Don found a glitch, which I'll explain below.  This issue has been there a while, so we will NOT issue a separate patch for the fix.  However, if you need the fix, contact me (richp@vs-trex.com, or skype: varisearch or twitter: @varisearch), and I'll upload the correction.  The correction has been verified.

The bug: Banners, Text Ads and Mini Banners all use "Regular" credits by default.  In fall of 2009, we added the option to use "Manual" credits instead, primarily for manual-only sites.  That works just fine.

However, this past Spring, we added the option to use Hover credits for banners, text ads and mini banners.  While the setting is there, the code to use the hover credits wasn't added to the exchanges.  So the setting results in the system falling back to using Regular credits.

The Fix: It was an easy fix: 4 lines get changed in each of the exchange files.  So we have corrected exchange files available for anyone who needs them.  However, we just did 3 patches in the last 6 weeks, and only know of 2 users using the hover option, so we manually updated those few sites, and posted this notice.

If you switched your banners, text-ads or mini-banners to use Hover (Hov) credits, they are currently using Regular credits.  Contact me and we'll patch it.  If you use Manual or Regular credits for those ads, this will have no impact on you.

... Anyone can make a typo (or an omission)... The difference here is that I'll admit it.

Patch 2.1.5.1c
we've done some troubleshooting/correction work to the new automated toplists system... it was missing some key data
  • auto toplists were 'slewing'.. running a day late
  • The referral system (automated version) was posting balance changes, but didn't add entries to the audit trail.

buy.php:
  • Changed code to hide 'classes' where all purchase items were hidden (instead of showing '0 items available')

purchase.php:
  • Changed balance header to show 'local cash name' instead of hard-coded "Local Cash".

core/memberalert.php
  • Now allows "" and '' marks in the 'announce' field.

cskeleton.php
  • UpperLeft/A101 goe to members.php instead of home page

signup/join.php
  • Correction to allow addition of 'internal users'.

offers:
  • added flag to Login OTO/ and Login Redirect OTO systems to allow continual usage (flag is a checkbox called "No Takers")
surfing:
  • correction work to to must-login-to-surf code, to eliminate early logouts
  • correction to 'exclude' code, which excluded last table if the exclude list was empty (so if you had 2 tables, only one would show)

2.1.5.1b: Minor corrections for 2.1.5.1
Auto-blocks:
  • VS-TEN (A301) centering command was accidentally removed
  • Realm 12 (A303) centering command was 'lopsided' (started, didn't stop)

Surf: skip tables setting was ignored

Surf/Edge: edge repeats were not getting the st value, so they all thought they were in regular surf

When 'must login to surf' is set, a cookie was generating an error (Surf/error_log).  The error has been fixed.  If you see an error_log file in the Surf folder, delete it AFTER loading this patch.

Cross-site Connecter:
  • csallowout was mis-coded and only worked with same user id on all sites
  • has been corrected: each site record NEEDS UserID of user at that site.

Surf/report:
  • system default was used edges... now they are hard-removed
  • typo (missing <td>) caused report table to have incorrect background
  • the bodytable tag was not on the report page, although it is on most of the site
  • -TEN sites: for hybrid/multi-interface sites, the reporting was loading default values
    • system now loads actual values from the URL that was shown, making reporting more reliable.

Surf/interrupt:
  • a typo meant all interrupt page settings were saved to regular, not the other surf types
  • a related typo prevented manual surfing from loading the interrupt counts correct

Variable Manual Surf:
  • There was a glitch if you enabled 'must login to surf' that prevented surfing

Offer Calc:
  • The one-time-offer redirect now has configurable time.  The default (0) is 5 seconds.

Group mailer (2):
  • If you indicate HTML, the preview function will switch the text editor to our WYSIWYG editor
  • Also, the display will change from 'preformatted' to a width-limited div, for readability

Logout page:
  • if not already defined, a custom logout page (logout.php) has been added to your menu data (pagetable.dat):
  • This will allow you to add text, and layout controls, to the logout function
