Linchpin Intranet Suite 5.10

Summary & Highlights

Welcome to Linchpin Intranet Suite 5.10!

First of all, the Suite itself: We’ve ensured the compatibility with Confluence 8.9 with this release.

Linchpin Enterprise News:

Need to control the order of news categories? Now, you can do exactly that! Create an Atom feed (RSS) for Linchpin news to make specific news available outside of Linchpin, making it easier than ever to make specific news available outside of Linchpin!

Linchpin Events:

You can now create event labels to improve your organizational skills! These also work as search criteria in the Event macro, Event Calendar macro, and Event List macro. In addition, the customizable CSV export allows you to tailor the information you export from your event. Also, administrators can now delete events that are older than a configurable amount of time!

Linchpin Mobile:

The Linchpin Mobile app now has a notification center that displays notifications from the Confluence notification center.

Linchpin User Profiles:

Now you can define the profile field responsible for sorting the results of the People Search & List Macro. You can also choose how many people to display at once.

Of course, we’ve also worked on bringing you some quick winsimprovements and bug fixes with this update.

Make sure to check out the full release notes!

Linchpin User Profiles

Improvements

  • This release enables a new feature for Linchpin Events: exporting attendee lists for events with all profile data included.

Bugfixes

  • In certain cases the xml import functionality didn’t accept perfectly valid xml files. We fixed this.
  • 5.10.3 We improved the performance of indexing user fields, especially for cascading fields.
  • 5.10.3 We made the People Search & List macro more resilient against corrupt index entries.
  • 5.10.3 Multiline text fields now show up properly when used in the People Search & List macro.
  • 5.10.3 We fixed a bug that prevented proper function of the people search in rare cases.

Linchpin Theme

Bugfixes

  • The tab “recently worked on” within the Linchpin Sidebar didn’t show all the entries. This has been fixed.
  • When editing Space Themes on Confluence 8.9 and higher, the footer interfered with this configuration. We fixed this.

  • 5.10.3 We fixed a bug that used the classic quotation background when displaying news tiles in “Full image” design.
  • 5.10.3 When uploading multiple images, in newer Chrome browsers, all the uploaded images were selected instead of just one. We fixed that.

  • 5.10.3 We fixed a bug that led to wrong publication dates for some news.
  • 5.10.3 We added limited compatibility with Communardo Metadata. If you use an approval workflow or schedule news for the future, only global metadata sets will work correctly.
