Details

Multiple Checkbox Form Not Saving

It was observed that three forms within the system were failing to properly process all selected items. This issue was due to an internal data processing change that was made to version 2.0.0 to reduce the possibility of data being injected into forms by bad actors. The forms affected by this issue were:-

  • Add episodes to contributors
  • Add episodes to artists
  • Add rights to freelance users

The issue manifested as only the last items in each section (the last episode, the last artist or contributor etc.) being the combination that was actually saved. Changes have been made to the data loader to properly handle the data submitted by these forms so that all selected items are processed properly.

Password Reset For Users With No Email Address

The password reset facility requires users using it to have an email address linked to their account login as this address is needed to send the verification email that contains the code used in the next stage of the reset process. Many users (typically the primary users for each company) have no email address, but the system allowed them to attempt to reset their password.

This has been fixed. If a user without an email address attempts to reset their password, they are advised this is not possible and that they should contact the company they are working for in the first instance.

The banner section of the PAC pages now includes a link which users can click for support. This link starts a draft email addressed to mb@s4c.cymru, allowing users to email right people for obtaining support for PAC without having to go looking for the email address.

The text of this link has been changed to S4C Support in an attempt to make it more obvious for users when they are looking to get some assistance.
