Features

Core CiviCRM

  • Allow extensions to define CSS themes / Add a configuration setting for when to load custom CSS (CRM-18792 / dev/core#378: 14551 and 12929)

    Adds an option to the "Display Preferences" settings form to allow users to more finely tune when CiviCRM's css is loaded. On WordPress and Joomla two options are available the "Backend Theme" and "Frontend Theme", on Drupal and Backdrop, the administration screen "Display Preferences" presents a singular "Theme" option.

  • Clean up use of DAO::nullArray (dev/core#1047: 14556, 14555 and 14550)

    Improves code stability by removing the unnecessary function CRM_Core_DAO::_nullArray.

  • Consolidate handling of conflicts between the batch job and get_conflicts api (14685)

    Improves code consistency by ensuring that merge conflicts are stored during batch_merge to the prev_next cache with the same format as when the api calls get_conflicts, the code doing this wrangling is moved from the api to the BAO layer.

  • Better support for hookable menubar colors (14944)

    More colors in the menu, including the base color, highlight color, and text color, can be modified with hooks.

  • Add csv reader package (14524)

    Adds the CSV processing utility, league/csv ^9.2 which will help with future PRs which introduce more test-coverage for CSV outputs and help cleanup some of the csv code down the way.

  • Improve protected field metadata (14679)

    Adds more robust metadata to fields protected by permissions in a format that can be directly passed into CRM_Core_Permissions::check().

  • Move api_key read/write permission checks from api to BAO (14660)

    Moves the logic for checking the api_key field permissions from the api layer to the BAO layer so it can be reused by api4 and other things.

  • Add a configuration setting for when to load custom CSS (initial work for dev/core#378: 14876)

    A new function, CRM_Utils_System::isFrontEndPage(), indicates whether a page is considered "front-end".

  • Permit sort_name as a url parameter on advanced search (14475 and 14920)

    You can now set sort_name=x in the URL on the advanced search form. In doing this, the sort name field is now defined through metadata rather than ad hoc.

  • Menubar - Improve flexibility & remove hardcoded values (14924)

    The menu no longer relies on hardcoded pixel dimensions to determine mobile appearance, and it replaces references to the ID selector crm-container with the class selector of the same name (which is used more broadly).

    This also resolves dev/core#1127.

  • Handle relative start & end dates passed to datepicker widget (14632)

    Adds some client-side logic to the datepicker widget that was previously done server-side. Paves the way for afform.

  • Improve utilities & tests for working with js notation (14588, 14537 and 14586)

    Removes dependence on an external library & improves robustness & accuracy of reading/writing js notation. Adds a utility function for getting properties of a Javascript option without parsing them. Adds a utility function and a test for dealing with data in js notation.

  • i18n - Improve multilingual popup for text and wysiwyg fields (14578)

    Fixes copying of values between multilingual popup and main form for wysiwyg fields and makes text fields larger in multilingual pop-up.

  • Buttons inconsistencies (dev/core#347: 14136 and 14509)

    Adds support for "button" elements in CiviCRM ajax popup forms in addition to the input type=button/submit and the "a class=button". This is a first step towards cleaning up button handling from a theming perspective. Adds buttons to 'Cleanup caches and update paths' in standard way

  • Display description next to 'paperclip' file icon - usually the filename (14501)

    When viewing custom files displays the description (usually the filename) next to the paperclip.

  • Address BAO - Handle standard 'custom' param as well as individual fields (14535)

    Ensures that the Address BAO can handle both raw unformatted custom field input and processed custom field inputs.

  • Update PSR16 handling for multisite extension legacy caching group (14505)

    Only use a Legacy group if using a version of org.civicrm.multisite 2.6 or below.

  • Improve I18n schema by including comments and default and NOT NULL or NULL statements to be more consistent with non lingual schema (14484)

    Adds more information to the I18n schema structure so that when the translated schema is created it is more similar to the non multilingual schema.

  • Add a couple customField pseudoconstants (14494)

    Adds a couple missing option lists to the schema so that they show up in the api explorer for the CustomField entity.

  • Deprecate ARCHIVE format for CiviCRM Database Logging (continues work for dev/core#663: 14256)

    Switches to using InnoDB for extended log tables instead of the ARCHIVE format.

  • ActivityForm - Redirect to contact page or activity view in standalone mode (14522)

    When using the "standalone" New Activity form, moves from always redirecting to the dashboard after saving to redirecting to the contact page (if 1 contact) and the activity view screen (if multiple).

CiviEvent

  • URL support for some params in event search (14477)

    Adds Event Search URL support for the params: sort_name, participant_status_id, participant_register_date_low, participant_register_date_high, and participant_register_date_relative. Date format is a string of numbers YmdHIS (ex: 20180101).

  • Add checklist-model angular module (14634)

    Adds the angular checklist-model library required by form builder.

CiviContribute

  • Reduce deadlocks on inserting custom data by only using 'ON DUPLICATE' when it is not a new row (14605)

    Reduce deadlocks when processing contributions with custom data. This specifically makes the custom data insert SQL more efficient.

  • Fix url support for receive_date_high & receive_date_low (14594 and 14611)

    As a part of a general standardization movement, adds Url support on the contribution search form for the following fields: receive_date_high, receive_date_low, contribution_cancel_date_high, contribution_cancel_date_low and invoice_number=9. Deprecates and continues to support the start date being passed to contribution search as "start=2018-01-01".

  • Deprecate contribution_date as a parameter (14533)

    Add deprecation notice for accessing old field name for receive_date in query object.

  • Create payment activity when creating a payment via the api, test (14452)

    Ensures when creating a payment via the api a payment activity is created.

CiviMembership

    On Membership Reports filters tabs, cleans up Membership Owner ID options.

  • Update Owner Membership ID label in reports to be Primary Membership to be more consistent with rest of system (14585)

    Changes the label of the Owner Membership ID in reports from "Membership Owner ID" to "Primary Membership".
