This page details the content that has been released in the patch named in the title above, if you were looking for the content from a different Sprint, or Union Cloud Release, please take a look at the Version History page to see all Sprints and Releases.

US2889

Multiple Event Categories

Multiple Event Types

Following an increasing number of requests over the previous academic year, we have update Events on UnionCloud to allow them to be tagged as part of multiple different categories. This aids a number of users in the way they advertise events and want to group certain types of events together, meaning they are no longer restricted. For example if you wanted to put a particular Club Night in a Freshers Category, as well as a Nightlife category then now you could.
If you wish to carry on using the system the way it used to work, you simply just select one category the way you always have.

  • This was an enhancement.

US2890

Tags on Articles and Resources

Related Articles / Resources

This is something that has always been a part of our plan, and we've finally had some time to implement it. As you can see from the screenshot opposite, so long as you give all of your Articles and Resources tags, when a user reaches the end of the article and selects a tag, it will take them to the Articles or Resources index and show all other articles or resources matching that same tag.

  • This was an enhancement.

US2891

Details in Remote Shop

Details in Remote Sales

A number of users had reported to us that they had difficulty establishing the details of the user when looking them up in the Remote Shop. This wasn't so much of a problem with a union was scanning a student card, but if a Union was required to type in the email address of a user who turned up at a counter, to look up their student account, sometimes when they would dictate an email address, phonetically similar letters could cause confusion. For example if a user email address was mno123@institution.ac.uk It is easy for a user to hear the incorrect letter given how phonetically simiar they are. The problem was compounded by the fact that when an administrator pressed search it returned the user email address.
We have now updated this to return the Users Name and Email Address, meaning the administrator can clarify the users identity before continuing.

  • This issue has been resolved.

US2896

Last Updated Date - APIs

As part of a recent integration many of the UnionCloud API's now contain a "updated_at": field, which is updated with a timestamp any time the record is modified.
Benefits of this include the ability to include new attributed in search parameters, like so;

Attribute Usage
updated_date_from "search updated_at greater than updated_date_from date"
updated_date_to "search updated_at less than updated_date_to date"

An example response; 

 {
   "meta": {
     "Summary": {
       "Total": 1,
       "Failure": 0,
       "Success": 1
     }
   },
   "data": [
     {
       "id": "ASD2",
       "uid": 1517693,
       "forename": "Cyrus",
       "surname": "Bailey",
       "email": "c.bailey@lancaster.ac.uk",
       "updated_at": "23-08-2017 12:06:47"
     }
   ]
 }


  • This was an enhancement.

US2901

Queue-it Integration Changes

Due to the previous placement of Queue-it at the point a user tries to purchase a ticket, there were still numerous database requests from users who were trying to access the Events Module overall, which didn't actually relieve much load on the platform.
In a bid to resolve this the Queue-It check has been brought forward and the Javascript it triggers checks the load on the platform at the time a user first accesses the events module.

  • This issue has been resolved.

ZD8484

Program SOAP Upload Fix

Owing to some previous UnionCloud code refactoring, we had injected an error to the way the SOAP Service can upload and update Programme Files, this was causing an error with some new unions trying to write their first SOAP Integration. It took some time to be brought to our attention because of how few unions utilise SOAP as their method for Data Integration, with most now primarily using REST Webservice.

  • This issue has been resolved.

ZD8410

Linking to Resources instead of S3 Bucket

Corrected an issue, that when previously adding links to Resources from the WYSIWYG CK Editor, when embedding, it would add a link directly to the file S3 bucket location.
This isn't an issue for the end user, as they are still getting the file they requested, however it was creating a minor issue in that because they weren't visiting the Resources Index and choosing the download link, we weren't able to track a number of views / downloads a resource had, this has been updated.

  • This issue has been resolved.

ZD8520

Issue Accessing Mobile Shop / Freshers App

Caching issue on permissions was affecting the visibility of the 'Freshers Fair App' button, and when assigning the Freshers App permission to users, the button to download the APK file was not becoming visible.

  • This issue has been resolved.
