FM Starter 2.15 released

Bug fixes and improvements


3. June 2020By Karsten Risseeuw3 Minutes

Kursiv has just released a new version of FM Starter. Version 2.15 fixed a few bugs and brought a few new features. It’s an important update that will bring significant improvements for some users. All changes for version 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 are now activated. The focus of this update is on the following topics:

  1. The standard theme has been expanded. The style sheets have been renamed and some new styles have been added. A third page was also integrated, on which all object styles were mapped with their own object. So there is now something like a style catalog with all style definitions.
  2. Landing pages for user groups. User groups now receive a target page for each platform (desktop / iPhone / iPad / web) that is accessed after logging in. So far there has only been a single “landing page” for this.
  3. Backup of program settings. Up to now, program settings have only been managed in global fields. However, if you develop a file on the server, you cannot permanently store any information here. There is now a backup function that reloads the correct data in the startup script.
  4. Language settings of the user are now correctly activated when the program starts.

These and other adjustments are listed in detail in the ToDo module and can be built into existing solutions if necessary.
