PointFire 365 v1.1 release
Posted by Martin Laplante on 11 January 2017 03:06 PM

This is an update release for PointFire 365 for SharePoint Online, part of Office 365. 

This release corrects a number of issues in the previous release, and adds new functionality.  It also has dramatically faster performance when redirecting pages.

New functionality includes:

  • License key applies to the entire site collection, not just one site
  • Added more license categories
  • Allow filtering of list view webparts and search webparts on pages other than the default list/library view page
  • “Manage Variations” functionality, similar to on-premise version
  • Redirection now runs much faster or pre-emptively, by caching some site page information in your browser.

Bug fixes include:

  • Error due to "_spPageContextInfo.pageListId" undefined.
  • jquery undefined error.
  • Other dependencies on jQuery loading
  • Errors in console for some page types that do not have an associated list
  • Improved behaviour in case of license expiry
  • Better detection of the current version of PointFire
  • Improvements to localization
  • Better behaviour when user reloads a filtered page after the language or the filtering preference has changed
  • Webpart menu better detects when a webpart is being edited
  • Resolved issues when showing the display language of a webpart
  • On activation, some languages were being added whether the user specified them or not
  • Sometimes “Unfiltered” had no effect when PointFire was recently installed or subsites had changed.
  • Many small fixes and improvements

Known issues:

  • Certain PointFire pages will not be localized correctly if PointFire is actived with one set of languages and later activated with a different set of languages. A workaround is available.
  • Multilingual webpart settings ribbon icon dialog will repeat "Filter Query" if it is called several times on the same page.
  • Display this webpart in..., the checkmark in the menu is sometimes not reliable. Use the multilingual webpart settings ribbon icon dialog instead.

PointFire makes SharePoint truly multilingual and lets your users collaborate in their language.  Two different users going to the same page on the same site will each see it almost entirely in their language, both UI and content, without using Variations.  And when used in combination with PointFire 2016, the hybrid cloud is here!

To get your copy, go to http://community.icefire.ca/index.php?/Knowledgebase/List/Index/1/pointfire-installation-packages and log in or create an account.

The fully-featured trial version can be downloaded for free and can be used for development and testing, with some pre-sale support.

We thank everyone in many countries who provided feedback during the beta testing program or after installing version 1.0 for their valuable input.

PointFire 365 v1.1 reproduces the most important functionality of PointFire 2016 in the cloud.  Some additional features will be added in PointFire 365 v2.0, in a few weeks.
