Global File Type Restrictions

A new section has been introduced under Misc Settings to enhance control over file uploads across the site.

Settings Configuration

Location: 'Settings' > 'Misc'

Section: Server File Settings

Setting Name: Enable file restrictions

Enable/Disable Control: A checkbox is provided to activate or deactivate file type restrictions.

Default Restricted List: When enabled, a default list of disallowed file types is applied, including but not limited to .exe and .php.

Custom Input: Administrators can add, remove, or modify the list of restricted file types to tailor restrictions to site requirements.

Scope of Restriction: The file type restriction applies to all key upload channels:

• FTP uploads
• File Manager uploads
• Public forms (e.g., via custom forms or modules)

Validation Logic: Files are checked using extension-based validation and MIME type validation for enhanced security.

Error Messaging:

• Frontend Forms: “The file upload failed because the file type {fileType} is not allowed on this site. Please ensure that your upload complies with the site's file type restrictions. If you need assistance, contact us.”
• Admin/FTP Uploads: “File upload rejected. The file type {fileType} is not permitted based on the site's global file restrictions. To modify these restrictions, please review the prohibited file extensions settings in the site Admin.”

Enabling Restriction with Existing Files: If the checkbox is selected while restricted files are already present in the File Manager, the following error is shown:

“Unable to activate file type restrictions. Your site already contains files of the following restricted types: {restrictedFileTypes}. Please remove these files from the File Manager before enabling this option.”

Server Cache Exclusion Rules

A new option has been introduced under Misc Settings to allow administrators to exclude specific URLs from server-side caching, providing greater flexibility in cache management.

Settings Configuration

Location: 'Settings' > 'Misc'

Section: Server Cache Settings

Setting Name: Exclude URL Rules

Input Field: Administrators can specify URL rules that should be excluded from server caching.

URL Matching Rules:

• Case-Insensitive Matching: All URL checks are performed case-insensitively. For example, /marketplace and /Marketplace are treated as identical.
• Wildcard Support (*): If a rule ends with an asterisk (*), the system checks whether the current URL starts with the rule.
  Example: Setting: /marketplace/shopping_cart?* matches /marketplace/shopping_cart?item=123
• Exact Match: If no wildcard (*) is used, only an exact match will trigger exclusion.
  Example: Setting: /marketplace/shopping_cart matches exactly /marketplace/shopping_cart but does not match /marketplace/shopping_cart?item=123

System Emails Delivery Options

A new dropdown menu has been introduced in the system email settings, allowing users to configure email sending behavior with predefined options.

Settings Configuration

Location: 'Email Notifications' > 'System Emails' > {EMAIL}

Section: Email Delivery Options

Setting Name: Delivery Option

Dropdown Options:

• Send Always (Default behavior, currently active for all emails)
• Never Send
• Send Only for Main Orders (For invoice emails only)

Logic Implementation:

Invoice Emails

• Send Always: Emails are sent for every invoice event.
• Never Send: No invoice emails are sent.
• Send Only for Main Orders: Based on the MainOrderId:
  If MainOrderId is null: The email is sent (indicating the main order).
  If MainOrderId has a value (e.g., "23293"): The email is not sent (indicating a sub-order).

Other System Emails

• Send Always: Emails are sent for every event.
• Never Send: No system emails are sent.

Recurring Subscription Reminder Emails

A new Recurring Subscription Reminder feature has been introduced, allowing users to configure and schedule automated email reminders for Member Areas, Events, Forms, and Products. The system supports item-based selection, filtering, and sorting, ensuring precise control over notification settings.

Email Notifications: A new Recurring Reminder Emails tab has been added under Emails with dynamic email tags:

• {{this.item}} – Displays item data
• {{this.member}} – Displays member data
• {{this.recurringsubscription}} – Displays subscription details

Sending Logic:

• If a specific item is selected, emails are sent only to subscribers of that item.
• If no item is selected, emails are sent to all subscribers of the selected category.
• Emails are sent N days before renewal, based on the configured value.

Stripe Customer ID in Member Component

Custom Form Validation Before Submission

Added support for manually triggering form validation before submission by calling a JavaScript function. This enhancement allows developers to apply validation to a specified DOM form element dynamically.

Implementation Details:

A new global function window.validateCmsForm(form) has been introduced. This function validates the given form element before submission.

Example Usage:

HTML:

<script>
let form = document.getElementById('validation');
window.validateCmsForm(form);
</script>
        

For individual fields:

• class="validation-error" – Applied to fields with validation errors.
• class="validation-success" – Applied to successfully validated fields.

For the entire form:

class="form-validation-error" – Applied if the form fails validation.
