Welcome to the second of our weekly Salsa Status Reports. Our old platform is quickly approaching its EOL (End of Life). In preparation we want to keep you up to date with all the improvements we are making to the system. Each report will contain information about major updates, bug fixes, enhancements and links to documentation as it develops. If there is a particular thing you'd like to see in these reports please comment below.
- BUG: Endless loop fixed, improving performance (medium)
- BUG: Exempted the supporter table from linked cloning to reduce the possibility of long copy times (minor)
- BUG: Fixed major cause of random logout (major) 1

Documentation
BUG: Fixed major cause of random logout (major)
What was happening was that if you were logged in
securely, and always had been, and you ever requested an insecure image
or page, it would log you out. Like, say, when you upload an image. Or
put an image in an email. Or add an image to an event listing. Etc.
Etc. This is actually part of the internet standard, but it's quite
annoying.
A resolution has been put in place.
When you go to the login page
(https://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/hq/login.jsp), it will actually
send you to the INSECURE page, then BACK to the secure page, so you get
all that nastiness out of the way. Essentially, we're forcing a logout
to happen, before it actually does. It happens so quick you can't see it.
There are undoubtedly other things that may cause logouts. If
you see any unexpected logouts, try and immediately recreate them. If
you can, let us know right off the bat.
ENHANCEMENT: Permissioning switch from tabs to packages (major)
As some of you know, we've been slowly integrating Packages/Tapas
into the overall Salsa framework. Previously in Salsa we had an idea of a 'Tab', which you gave
campaign managers access to. Almost all of organizations have all Tabs
We are removing the idea of a Tab from the system, and replacing it with
Packages, which are much more flexible and extensible, and so we can
manage permissions a bit better. We are doing this slowly, not all at
once, to mitigate any issues that might come up.
One Package has one tab.
The only place that people have been able to manage their Tabs in the
system was by editing a specific Role, which is still part of our
permissioning scheme. The ability to add Tabs from a role has been
changed to add and remove Packages from a Role. While you can no longer
add tabs to roles, you can remove tabs from roles, for organizations who
want to edit them.
The only people this will affect will be organizations who are
customizing access to different tabs with custom roles. The
organizations affected are listed below, with a count of how many tabs
they were using.
The old tab data is still there, so it will still work as it always
had.
We will be replacing the existing tabs with packages slowly. The first
conversion has already happened, and the Events tab is actually now a
Package, not a Tab. We'll be going from right to left along your screen.
