v2.3.0patch3 released to fix some nasty bugs

We've uncovered some critical bugs and other issues, and fixed them in v2.3.0 (stable, patch#1 and patch#2). This patch can be applied to any site already running v2.3.0, v2.3.0patch1, or v2.3.0patch2. In addition to the fixes found in 230patch1 & 230patch2, 230patch3 provides the following:
* !!!Fixes loss of admin/super-admin status when password is changed
* !!!Updates install/upgrade logic for greater security
* An 'upgrade' requires a logged in super-admin to work, and completes upgrade with that user still logged on
* An 'install' requires the '/install/not_configured' file exist
* ...otherwise the system loads the home page making it impossible to inadvertently change settings
* Admin user created during install now has same password strength requirements as other password changes
* Standardizes module view configuration wording
* Fixes warning on rich meta data call if image is missing
* Fixes language of newui slingbar toggle button
* Adds a delete all records for site forms; fixes csv export to use machine readable time; fixes several datetime formats missing year

  • Any instructions on how to correctly install patch? I 'guessed' my way through & now unable to login with Super-Admin.

  • Not sure how you created a problem with the Super-Admin, but the easiest method is from within Exponent itself:
    1. Log in as a Super Admin
    2. Select the Exponent menu, Super-Admin Tools, Extensions, Install Extension menu item
    3. Select the 'Fixes' tab to display the most recent patches for all released versions
    4. Check/Select the patch you want to install (it is imperative you only install patches to your current version!)
    5. Click on the 'Install Selected Patches' button
    6. Once the patch is installed, you should see a message stating your system needs to be upgraded. Click on that link to begin the Upgrade process.
