Includes a complete overhaul of the commerce system, and many other bug fixes.
Gotchas:
* You need the following new Perl Modules installed before you upgrade:
Archive::Any
Exception::Class
Path::Class
Image::ExifTool
List::MoreUtils
* SQL Form is no longer part of the official distribution of WebGUI,
but is still being actively maintained by third-parties. However, if you
don't want to use SQL Form any longer, make sure you delete all SQL Forms
from your site prior to the upgrade *and* purge them from your trash. Then
the upgrade will automatically uninstall the SQL Form from your site.
* WebGUI versions since 7.3.0 (when the new Calendar was added)
have allowed users to post Events to Calendars, but the owner of
the Event has been saved as Admin (user ID 3). Also, anyone who
was allowed to add an Event was allowed to edit any Event in the
Calendar.
The permissions have now been fixed, but it is not possible to
fix the owner of Events posted by individual users. Users are
not allowed to edit the owner of an Event from the web interface
as a security measure.
The new permissions are:
* Users who post an Event are allowed to edit and delete the
Events they post
* Users who can edit the Calendar are allowed to add, edit,
and delete all Events
* The commerce system was completely rewritten. As such you will need
to tweak some settings to get commerce back up and running.
* Shipping configurations are going to be lost when you upgrade. You'll
need to set up a shipping option if you're using the commerce system.
* Products in the old Commerce system have been converted to new Asset-based
Products in a new folder called Products. Instead of using the ^Product()
macro to display a Product on a page, either place the Product directly
onto a page (like any other asset) or use the AssetProxy macro. In all
Wobjects, Templates and Snippets, the Product macro has been replaced
with the AssetProxy macro.
* The Product template variables now use the new WebGUI standard of not
using dots in their names. For example, brochure.icon is now brochure_icon
* All Product Templates that shipped with earlier versions of WebGUI have
been deleted, except for the Default Product Macro. During the upgrade,
all products have been updated to use the Default Product Macro. If you want
to keep these, you will need to make a copy of them before the upgrade.
* All Commerce Templates that shipped with earlier versions of WebGUI have
been deleted. If you want to keep these, you will need to make a copy of
them before the upgrade.
* Subscriptions have been converted to assets. These assets will be placed in
the import node in the folder 'Migrated Subscriptions'.
* It used to be possible to link subscription codes to multiple subscriptions.
This is no longer the case. Subscription code that are not yet expired or used
and link to multiple subscriptions will be migrated in the following manner:
1) The subscription codes will remain valid for one of the subscriptions they
linked to.
2) For the other subscriptions connected to these codes new subscription codes
will be generated. The upgrade script print all the new codes in the case.
The new codes will also be logged in the webgui log file.
* With the new shop system the Payment plugins have been changed too. The default
WebGUI Payment Plugins are automatically migrated for you, but custom plugins
will have to be adapted to use the new WebGUI::Shop API.
* If you are using the ITransact payment plugin you'll have to change the postback
url. The new value is printed by the upgrade script and can also be found in
the edit screen of the ITransact plugin.
* The Commit With Approval and Commit Without Approval workflows have been
rebuilt. If you have changed these default workflows and wish to retain your
changes, be sure to back them up before you install 7.5.11
