1.0.1 - 09 Feb 2012¶

ThinkUp 1.0.1 is primarily a bugfix and developer release.

Note

This release moved the location of ThinkUp’s writable data directory. As a result, when you upgrade you may receive the message “Oops! ThinkUp is unable to run because of incorrect folder permissions.” Follow the instructions to make the new data directory writable. Then, ensure you have deleted the old directory, _lib/view/compiled_view/

Changelog:

Interface improvement: In user registration and installation forms, validate user password (and repeat entry) as the user types with JavaScript widget instead of expecting user to submit the form and wait to get told if the password is not strong or long enough
Security improvement: Make writable directory configurable in config.inc.php’s datadir_path value for environments with stricter security settings like orchestra.io. Documentation: http://thinkupapp.com/docs/install/advancedconfig.html
Bugfix: Avoid “Cannot redeclare class OAuthException” fatal error in Twitter plugin
Bugfix: Fix Tweet button markup on post detail page which potentially broke page design for posts with certain characters in them
Bugfix: When saving plugin options using Internet Explorer 8, avoid “Please complete all required fields” error
Bugfix: Return the correct search results for posts and avoid Uncaught TypeError in JavaScript console
Bugfix: Avoid fatal error “Argument 2 passed to OwnerInstanceMySQLDAO::doesOwnerHaveAccessToInstance must be an instance of Instance, null given” when a username has an apostrophe in it
Bugfix: In Post API requests, return links associated with posts, respect both originating network AND ThinkUp’s user privacy setting, and don’t return blank JSON for Facebook data requests
Bugfix: More accurately extract user mentions from tweet text and store in mentions table during REST crawl
Bugfix: Detect and display application URL correctly when running on a non-standard port
Bugfix: Defensively avoid PHP Notice Undefined index/property errors during crawl in Facebook, Google+, and GeoEncoder plugins
Bugfix: In Twitter plugin Who You Follow view, rename “Deadbeats” to “Quietest”
Bugfix: In Twitter plugin settings, suggest an app name that’s more likely to be globally unique/server-specific, instead of just “ThinkUp”
Bugfix: Standardize date format on Group membership and Follower count Google charts to Jan 08 and Jan ‘12
Bugfix: Prevent some instances from never being crawled by setting crawl process to run on instances on a per-owner basis
Bugfix: Remove unused app_title value in config.inc.php and replace it with app_title_prefix, which can be set and is now consistently used across page titles and email notifications. For example, to name your ThinkUp installation “My Awesome ThinkUp”, set app_title_prefix = “My Awesome ”. By default, it is an empty string. Documentation: http://thinkupapp.com/docs/install/advancedconfig.html
Bugfix: In Twitter plugin’s JSON parsing, use id_str rather than numeric type to avoid bad post ID’s from getting inserted into DB. (This function is currently used only by the FSMI, not the Twitter crawler by default.)
Bugfix: In Twitter Realtime plugin, avoid timezone not set error
Developer tool: Plugin maker auto-stubs out all necessary plugin code. Documentation: http://thinkupapp.com/docs/contribute/developers/plugins/buildplugin.html
Developer improvement: Escape markup and JS in user info/error/success messages by default to avoid inadvertent bad injections & encourage restricting markup to view template
Developer improvement: Speed up unit test run bogged down by looping DNS resolution connection to a nonexistent host in PDODAO test
Developer improvement: Explicitly cast SimpleXML elements to primitive types when parsing Twitter XML from API
Developer improvement: Don’t assume the default database table prefix or working directory location in all unit tests
Developer improvement: Consolidate logic to generate app URL into a single function and remove redundant THINKUP_BASE_URL global variable
Developer improvement: Add ability to load extlib classes in Loader without using awkward require_once statement
Documentation: Fixed typos and broken links in user interface, added documentation, restyled documentation using Twitter Bootstrap
