Hi, I'll volunteer to test the new version.

I have a site running in a live environment with a duplicate running in a test environment. I updated the test site to WP3.3 and the date picker is broken so I'll happily test cformsII v13.0 in that environment. I'm keen to resolve any issues before I update the live site to WP3.3 from WP3.2.1.

Please let me know if you want me to do this.

Thanks

Nick

That's great, the more the merrier.

It'll take a few days, but once I'm ready to send a first beta, I'll have it sent to your email addresses.

In the first beta release, I'll cover:

*) date picker support

*) dashboard enhancements

*) general UI improvements

*) several bug fixes

Note: v13.0 will required WP 3.1+

QUICK UPDATE

I'll be sending out a first beta hopefully by tonight.

If anyone could, please test with WP 3.2 or WP 3.1 as well. I expect it to work just fine, but it'd be great if someone could confirm.

Important Note (once you have the beta code): 

1. Backup your existing cforms DIR & make a backup of your WP DB
2. Properly deactivate the plugin, upload and reactivate
3. Clear your browser cache
4. Follow the instructions of the note below in red to enable the new admin/autoconf email layout
   (sorry there is no automatic update possible, but I may think of a button to reset it to default) 

Here is roughly what's been addresses by cformsII v13:

*) WP3.3 compliance
*) other: WP 3.3 jQuery / jQueryUI is now being used for the date picker!
*) other: link to supported date formats added to global settings screen
*) other: enhanced dashboard layout / listings
*) bugfix: checkbox "default state" setting fixed
*) bugfix: checkboxgroup "default states" & "new line" settings fixed
*) bugfixes: several admin screens related fixes
*) bugfixes: tracking page, download options fixed (header, URLs etc.)
*) other: checkbox fields now include a "checked symbol", instead of the word "on"
*) other: email layout enhancements (optimized for gmail & HTML capable clients)
!!! NOTE: in order to fully enable the new layout for old forms, you MUST
create a brand new form and copy/paste the HTML message parts (admin &
auto-confirmation message) from this new form to all your old forms !!!

Posting feedback here is fine, thanks for the quick turn-around time.

I'll revisit your points raised.

re. 1) where does it appear twice? In the input field or later in the email(s)?

it usually is a sign that the old "yyyy" definition was used instead of the newly supported "yy"

EDIT: I figured out what the issue is. Thx.

re. 2) done.

I haven't seen any issues during my testing, but will recheck.

Hi Oliver,

I've tested this out on my local install and live site (same site, different theme). All the data carried over ok and I haven't seen any problems. I'm not using the date picker.

One thing I did notice in the admin bar is, 'Safe & update form settings' should read 'Save'.

Grüß aus Berlin,

Frances

v13.1 is out now, fixing the radio button issue.

Per the (yellow) upgrade note on the form settings page (it should have appeared after re-enabling cforms) you need to reset both the auto conf message and admin message to the new default template.

If you've made custom adjustments to these, you need to re-introduce those afterwards. 

quite odd. but since a new form doesn't work either, my suspicion is that something went wrong during the upgrade.

what you can try (not without a tiny risk though) is to

• make a "global settings" backup of all cforms settings, 
• uninstall cforms (global settings), 
• disable and renable the plugin
• see if it works then
• then restore the global settings backup (again under global settings: restore all data)

Hi Oliver

Thanks for the advice on backing up, reinstalling and restoring – I've done that and it worked like a dream. Everything is good now.

Much appreciated.

Regards

Nick
