2.1.6.1b patch

2.1.6.1b

  • Changed surf footers to handle normal offers embedded in the surf, by adding user ID to it.
  • Last stage of site report: "storing report" was not using a body block
    •   Sites with dark backgrounds were showing this page as all black.
  • qbv/qbh were showing differently than purch blocks
    •   qbv/qbh, when showing upgrades or subscriptions were loading the name of the free member level
  • corrected grammatical error on 'heartbeat scope' page
  • issue with subscriptions: paypal entries were coming up invalid
    •   This was because a new variable for variable-length subscriptions was mis-spelled
  • surf layout:
    •   "exclude tables" only supported 1 table.... if you used commas, the value wouldn't save
    •   Added 'Surfing Name' to control text displayed on timer bar.. down below the extra column info
    •   Changed the save routine so that excess 'tripelems' get blanked out
    •   Added "Table Title" to the top of each table, so webmasters could remember what image groups are for what season
    •   Added "hide/don't use" option to graphic descriptors
  • third frame:
    •   Changed routine so that it would obey "#/elements".  Previously, it showed any non blank element

  • my statistics:
    •   added #/pages surfed to the surf earning tables
  • manual contest:
    •   bizarre results were appearing on contests:
    •     This was partly because results were not cleared between runs  (truncates are now being run)
    •     This was also because users may have been excluded if they surfed AFTER the contest (exclusion fixed)
    •   there were different results from auto-calc versus manual recalc, as well  (because internals were always excluded)
    •   Regen was ignoring 'exclude internal', 'exclude upgrade', and 'OffLists' settings
      •     Now, those settings are followed... users are listed in order, with the proper flags on the user (new left column)
  • Core main page:
    •   Added #/purchase records in last few days (approx 3 days from current time)
  • core/master layout:
    •   Side-help incorrectly stated there were 10 "otherheaders", when there are now 20

    •   Added new option for 'center column' that shows the #/each ad type for each user in the main list

  • Core controls:
    •   Resolved the issue where column #5 disappeared if webmaster picks an inactive/under development module
  • Offers:
    •   Added "User Age", specifically for login offers, to show an offer after a user has been a member for xxx days
    •   Using a "-1" in redirect offers will make the jump to the redirect page nearly instantaeous
  • core/manage members:
    •   Added 'lockstat' checkbox (by surf boost) to render the user immune to rollouts from the levels screen
  • Info/sitemap:
    •   Now shows members' area if user is logged in
    •   ** Added new page: members/membersareamap.php  which is a sitemap of only the members' area
  • ** Bad bug report **
    •   There was a report that normal offers weren't working
    •   When we went to duplicate the issue, it turned out the reporter had mis-typed the URL
  • Variable Manual Surf
    •   Now uses the 'getimg.php' file, which makes for harder-to-cheat surfing.

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.
