XMod 5.0.3 Released

Posted by: dnndev 9/20/2007 1:33 PM
We've kicked 5.0.3 out of the nest and told it to fly. See what's new, changed, and fixed in this version.

XMod 5.0.3 for DotNetNuke 4.3/4.4 and 4.5+

I'm pleased to release the latest version of XMod 5 - version 5.0.3.

This is a maintenance release for XMod 5.0 and is recommended for all users running DotNetNuke 4.3 or later.

  • ADDED: FormBuilder now includes <displaydate> and <expirydate> tags.
  • ADDED: New <rating> child tag of the <xmod:comments> tag. This enables the rating each individual user gave to be displayed in addition to the overall average rating.
  • ENHANCEMENT: Excel/CSV Export -
    • Fields now have their own columns when exported, instead of all fields being exported under the "Content" column;
    • Validation and ValidationSummary tags are stripped from export;
    • Items in multi-value (list) type controls are now exported in a pipe-delimited format in the following manner: <label>|<value>. So, the export will contain "*|true", instead of:  <Program><items><item><label>*</label><value>true</value></item></items></Program>
  • ENHANCEMENT: When using the query attribute of the <select> and <select1> tags, you can now specify which field will be used for the display text and which will be used for the hidden value of the list items using the new labelfield and valuefield attributes respectively.
  • ENHANCEMENT: <xmod:list> tag will now show both the display text and value of a field if desired. Prior to this version it would show either the display text or the value, but not both.
  • FIXED: New version of UDT breaks UDT Manager. This patch includes a version for the new UDT. It is not backwards-compatible with the old UDT version (3.3.6).
  • FIXED: Textarea Doesn't Recognize "cols" property.
  • FIXED: Checkbox List validator doesn't render if required attribute is used.
  • FIXED: Parameter values don't survive postback
  • FIXED: Cancel Button causes validation to fire
  • FIXED: ScriptBlock - ClientScriptInclude blocktype doesn't function
  • FIXED: UDT Manager doesn't work with FormView.
  • FIXED: Comments tag ratingvalue not showing correct value
  • FIXED: Grid View shows Header in Footer area. This refers to the secondary header and footer, not the column headers/footers.
  • FIXED: Ratings tag throws exception in some cases when location attribute not set to "portal".
  • FIXED: <xmod:localization> tag doesn't function correctly in List and Detail templates
  • FIXED: <xmod:scriptblock> tag doesn't function correctly in detail templates
  • FIXED: Rich Text template editor mangles HTML when using an <xmod:field> tag in the src or href attribute of an HTML tag.

Re: XMod 5.0.3 Released    By Kriz on 9/26/2007 9:29 AM
Had no problems on installing this latest release so I'm a very happy again. Still happy since the day I bought Xmod. ;) Xmod makes it fun working in DNN. I had one little question; DNN 04.06.00 has been released and I was wondering if this last release can be used in the last DNN version without any problems... I have a doubt if I would upgrade to the last DNN version already or not. Since I use Xmod in almost 90% of my portal application it's quit important to know if this would give any problems or not.

@Kriz: Feedback like yours motivates us to keep improving XMod. Thanks for the kind words. Thus far, we've received no reports of problems on 4.6.0 and our tests have shown no issues. Personally, I tend to wait a bit before jumping on a new major DNN upgrade, but there are no known compatibility issues with XMod 5.0.3.
