Connections 10.4.1: Maintenance Update

This maintenance release focuses primarily on correcting several minor issues with compatibility with the new Widget Editor introduced in WordPress 5.8.

You will have to update to this release in order to install or update the Widget Pack addon, version >= 2.8.

This maintenance release includes the following changes:

  • NEW: Introduce _::isInteger() and _::isPositiveInteger().
  • NEW: Introduce the suppress_filters parameter in cnRetrieve::entries().
  • NEW: Introduce cnTemplateFactory::maybeActivate().
  • TWEAK: Correct initiate new objects.
  • TWEAK: Use self shortcode keyword instead of classname when checking instance of object.
  • TWEAK: Utilize the suppress_filters property in cnRetrieve::upcoming().
  • TWEAK: Utilize suppress_filters in the admin dashboard widgets.
  • TWEAK: Check to make sure object property is set before use.
  • TWEAK: Remove unnecessary isset() check.
  • TWEAK: Action to register templates should be run before templates are activated.
  • TWEAK: Add check for instance of self when initiating the template factory.
  • TWEAK: Update action hooks to call cnTemplateFactory::maybeActivate().
  • TWEAK: Add call to cnTemplateFactory::maybeActivate() in cnTemplateFactory(). Needed to support the new Widget Editor because it seems the rest_init hook does not fire or is not fired in time to render the widget previews. Templates are required to be activated because templates are used to render the widgets.
  • OTHER: Correct typos.
  • DEV: phpDoc corrections.
  • DEV: phpDoc updates.
