3 Versions Worth of Tendenci CMS Software Updates!

This week, Tendenci experienced 3 version releases: 5.0.63, 5.0.64, and 5.0.65 when we rolled out our software updates. 

Here are the changes, broken down by Module/Features that were made and rolled out on all live client sites this Friday:

Global Settings and Content Management

• Add an RSS subscriber feed to Help Files
• Added front-end add and edit forms to Help Files module to enable registered users and members the optional ability to add and edit Help Files
• Updated the way the file system handles missing Images – now the file system simply returns an empty source URL instead of an error message.

Users, Groups, and Membership Module Updates

• When importing new members, membership fields are no longer case-sensitive and can be separated by spaces, underscores, or dashes without interfering with the import
• The corporate representative page now displays a list of all members associated with that corporation.
• The creator and owner of a Corporate Membership can add more memberships under this Corporate Membership.
• The creator and owner of a Corporate Membership can also assign new memberships.
