RO CSVI 8.15.0 release
As we continue on our monthly release cycle, things are starting to look good. In this release we were able to bring a good mix of fixes and features without having to wait for them for a few months. This includes Google token fixes, failed exports, export to a local database, improved XML support, and many more.
Google Token
A few users came to us saying they could no longer get RO CSVI to automatically renew the access token for accessing their Google Sheets. After some deep investigation we found that the refresh token was getting lost upon renewal of the access token. This has now been rectified to only store the refresh token if we receive one. In case you need to setup the integration again, please follow the steps in the Google document.
Joomla List Custom Field
We introduced this feature in our previous release 8.14.0 but we had completely missed that you may want to import the text and values when importing the custom fields in custom fields. We already have this implemented for all other extensions except for the custom fields themselves. That work has now been completed as well.
The documentation can be found here.
XML support
The use of self-closing nodes in XML files is perfectly fine but they are kind of hard to handle since they do not follow the same flow as a regular node. In this release we have optimized the processing of self-closing nodes and as such make reading XML files even better.
Conditional rule
The conditional rule has been given a new option called contains. This allows you to check if a field contains a certain value and you can choose what to do with it based on that.
Notable changes
This release has a number of changes across the board that are notable:
- Export to a remote database was already possible but we now also added the option to export to your local database, this way you can store data in tables in the same website.
- The template list search field will also search in template aliases
- On the export templates you can set the Group Fields and Sort Fields options, these now only show fields that you can actually use and the help text has been improved to clarify how to use them
