v3.0.27 – ASP Knowledge Base

Release Date: 14th March 2019

New Features

An option has been added to libraries, exhibitors and seminars so you can change the field the A-Z index uses. This is available for main lists and widgets and allows you to add a sort name field. This will only work on text based fields on the entries.

You can now insert speaker images as part of the session API post by passing the attribute "profileImg". The image field takes the URL of an image hosted in Showoff or externally.
The API now allows you to post to custom visitor fields setup in Engage.

Importing of countries via CSV now auto maps to the correct country based on the ISO country codes as well as the full name
It is now possible to set a standard class per exhibitor status so you can highlight exhibitors on the exhibitor list using a flex template

Amends have been made to site categories to allow the easier management of large lists. We have added export functionality and a bulk delete option.

We have extended the integration with Floorplan live to be able to take a 2nd JSON feed from a different API endpoint allowing us to import more details about the exhibitors into Showoff.

Speaker images have been moved locally to a sites media manager now. These will work as per exhibitor logos. until a new logo is uploaded it will still use the old location. There will need to be a template change to use the new field but once changed will look at old location as well so nothing should be broken.

A filter has been added to widgets for libraries that checks if a field has a value. This is useful when you want a carousel on the homepage of exhibitors that have added a logo. Category and multiple select fields are not available as part of this filter, just basic and additional fields.

Saving a speaker in the Engage back office no longer updates the person type to be a visitor
Default group mappings as part of the CSV import into Engage now works as expected and sets the default group to whatever you set.
The visitor CSV import "add new" has been fixed to add new records to Engage even if they exist elsewhere in the CRM.

Exhibitor zone edit categories now looks at the sites locale and pulls the categories in the sites language instead of the default.

Pressing enter in a form field now submits the form via AJAX and not a regular HTTP post.

If a page linked to via a campaign tracker is deleted, the campaign tracker stays intact so you can see the stats or update this to a new page
A translation has been added for the word "submitting" on forms.
non unicode sites now store the homepage slug in the correct format so we no longer cause a 404 error
Showoff now tracks the correct login IP address preventing the issue where Showoff blocks an Incapsula IP address for 30 mins after 10 invalid login attempts

Form checkbox options with 's in now export correctly
Grid questions with drop downs in forms now export as expected
White space at the end of each field has been removed from generated CSV reports

Seminar bulk activation and deletion now clears the list cache correctly
Seminar list back office pagination has been fixed so it shows the correct sessions and numbers of pages
The speaker import now updates usernames and passwords for speakers as expected for Engage
