Version 2.2.0-1 (PRE RELEASE)

= v2.2.0-1 - 2016/03/07 - PreRelease =

Tranlations

• We've updated our .pot file for the first time in quite a while. We're really sorry for de-emphasizing translation. An updated .pot file will now accompany each version of LifterLMS whenever a translatable string is adjusted or when a new string is added.
• We've also made it easier to include custom translations. Read our knowledge base article on the matter here: [adsfadsfasdf]

Certificate Background Images

We've completely rewritten the certificates template (but it's all backwards compatible).

Coupon Updates

• Coupons can now be restricted to specific courses and/or memberships
• Percentage based coupons can no longer be created with a value larger than 100%
• Fixed a few instances where hardcoded a US Dollar symbol ($) where a dynamic currency symbol should have been displayed.

Wow Bad Syntax, Very Typo, Such Grammar, So Undefined

• Fixed a typo in filter associated with modifying the registration of the lesson post type (lifterlms_register_post_type_lesson)
• Fixed a grammatical error in a Membership restriction message
• Fixed a syntax error in "/templates/course/outline-list-small.php" that prevented the done CSS class from being properly applied to completed lessons
• Fixed a few typos and grammatical errors on the Course and Membership settings metaboxes
• Fixed an undefined variable in "templates/course/syllabus.php"
• Fixed an issue on the system report that prevented the "Courses Page" from being reported properly
• Fixed an issue that caused PHP warnings on the admin panel for students or WP users with no LifterLMS menu permissions

Additional, less exciting updates

• Added the_content filter to the content of emails sent by LifterLMS
• Fixed some CSS issues on Voucher screens
• Updated Courses settings retrieval function to retrieve the correct "shop" page id
• Added translation functions to voucher export meta box class
• Vouchers Export metabox will only allow export after a voucher has been published. This prevent's an issue caused by attempting to export voucher codes before they were saved in the database via the publish / save action.
• Vouchers can no longer be saved with a use of "0"
• Sale price now allows saving of a sale without an end date
• added a CSS class for various syllabus outputs that notes that the lesson has an icon. Previously CSS relied on "is-complete" to output styles for having an icon but with the addition of placeholders the "is-complete" is used only to note that the lesson is completed and "has-icon" is a more semantic class that applies to both complete and incomplete lessons with an icon.

Version 2.1.1 - System Report

2016/02/15

System Report

• A new LifterLMS Admin Page is available which reports information about various server, WordPress, and LifterLMS settings that will help expedite support requests.

• PayPal requests now using HTTP Version 1.1 in preparation for June 2016 TLS 1.2 and HTTP/1.1 Updates. This resolves user's inability to begin PayPal checkout when using Sandbox mode.
• Updated deprecated function opt out to run off a constant that can be defined in wp-config.php instead of using a filter that is hard to use in the way that it is intended.

Version 2.0.4

• AJAX enabled searching by student name and or email
• Increased performance for course page load by only calling student information when needed. This resolves a bug identified by users with large user databases and/or low-powered servers.

Syllabus Template

• Added a Course setting to optionally enable Lesson Thumbnails on the Course Syllabus

If you want to put it back up on the top, you can simply drag it up there and WordPress will save your preference.

Deprecated Classes

We've added a "deprecated" file which holds a few stubs for classes and functions deprecated below as to prevent fatal errors. The functions and classes in the deprecated class are classes which we know are being utilized by approved LifterLMS extensions and will allow users to upgrade LifterLMS without upgrade extensions without breaking their websites!

• LLMS_Activate which as previously used to activate the plugin for updates via the LifterLMS Update Server and is no longer required.
• PUC (plugin update checker) Library has been completely removed as it is no longer required for plugin updates.
• LLMS_Analytics_Dashboard was removed as it was a stub that was never used and shouldn't have ever been released as a part of the LifterLMS codebase. I can't believe no one reported this bug!
