A very interesting start of the year where we get a lot of help from contributors (Thanks!!) who bring some fantastic enhancements like global variables, optimizations, functionality,... while we start customizing coreBOS with OnDemand features, construct login page infrastructure and keeping constructing a professional, powerful and flexible application.

• global variables Document_CreateSelectContactFolder, Document_CreateSelectAccountFolder and Document_CreateSelectAccountFolderForContact. These variables permit us to configure coreBOS to automatically create and select folders for each Account and Contact when adding a new document to them.
• method to create folders
• storage increment license when On-Demand is active
• add settings section to show storage consumption and cron to calculate it once a day

• Add role picklist field and role-based search, so we can now apply global variables by roles, making this configuration module even more flexible and powerful.
• Debug_RelatedList_Query to see queries in related lists. Thanks David
• CustomerPortal_PDF_Modules to define which modules support PDF export via Webservice
• Application_ListView_Sum_Currency to hide/show currency field sum in the footer of the (related)list view tables

We add infrastructure for customizable login pages and create a bunch of examples along with a new login design for coreBOS. Read all about it here

We start another project to add On-Demand capabilities to coreBOS. Besides being able to adapt coreBOS to this types of services, we also get some nice and useful features that can be activated individually.

• on-demand configuration file
• blocked users array: a set of users that cannot be modified nor deleted, this is useful when we add a support user and we don't want it to be deleted nor modified
• block package import, update, and export in order to protect intellectual property
• log user create, edit status changes and trash so we have full accountability for the number of users and their status in any coreBOS install
• show license on user creation
• limit the size of the storage directory and emit an error on document upload when that size limit is exceeded
• list of fixed tasks in scheduler so we can define tasks that cannot be deactivated nor modified
• control unique user login and permit admin user to log out a user, so we avoid the same user logging in on more than one computer

• correct start time validation for planned events respecting user timezone
• use normal get_related_list for m:m relations with cbCalendar created from within the application
• When Calendar_Show_Only_My_Events global variable is active, we have to show the events assigned to user's group too
