Version 0.9.019 - 24. Oktober 2010

Service update

The update to version 0.9.019 takes care of several bugs in the admin section of JPodium. Especially the athlete portrait data was not managed completely together with the recent improvements of the frontend view. The control panel now provides a buttom to call home and check for an update.

Version 0.9.018 - 25. September 2010

Plugin functionality improved

Together with this version a new version 0.2.000 of the content plugin was published. This implemented the season view in the plugin. To achieve this the season view was refactored as well.

Athlete portraits completed

The athlete portraits were basically empty for almost a year. This release completed the functionality and shows a complete detail portrait. It also includes a table of the results stored for this athlete via the plugin.

Version 0.9.017 - 16. September 2010

Plugin functionality implemented

The first of the results tables created can now be implemented into content articles via the first plugin release. This required a lot of modifications to almost all frontend views.

Time handling improved

Several frontend tables are expanded with a time column. This can be switched on or off via the menu entry configuration. Times are handled as simple string to reduce the formatting requirements. If times are handled in the stagerace view the formatting has to follow a certain rule described in the documentation.

Other changes to the frontend

• Further move to CSS formatting for all frontend views. This is still incomplete and will be continued step by step with every new release.
• A new helper class for the frontend results table generation was introduced. All tables will be refactored to mak e use of this class. The main reason for this change is to allow reuse of the frontend view code in the plugin.

Other changes to the backend

• The portrait info for the athletes now allows HTML code in the text.
