Ziexam AI – Next-Generation Online Examination System SaaS Platform v1.2.7
Version 1.2.7 – Update Log
Release Date: 8 May 2026
New Features
Dynamic Registration Custom Fields: Introduced a powerful engine allowing administrators to create unlimited custom fields (Text, Select/Dropdown, Attachments) for the signup process. Perfect for collecting data like College Name, Qualification, or Degree.
Job Board Module Integration: A full-featured Job Board system is now built into the platform. Administrators can post job opportunities, and students can view and apply for listings directly from their personalized dashboard.
Modular Coding Assets Addon System: Implemented a new architecture for coding assets. These now function as modular addons, allowing for easy activation/deactivation without modifying the core system files.
Bulk Student Data Export: Admins can now perform bulk downloads of student records, including all custom registration data, in a single action for offline analysis and reporting.
Core System & Database Updates
Schema Enhancement (custom_fields): Added a new JSON-supported column to the users table to securely store dynamic registration data.
Database Refinement (phone): Added a dedicated, unique phone column to the core user table to improve authentication and SMS-based features.
Auth Architecture Redesign: Completely overhauled the authentication logic to handle dynamic validation and multi-part data (file uploads) during user registration.
System Scalability: Optimized core logic to support the simultaneous running of the Job Board and multiple Addon modules without performance degradation.
Improvements & UI/UX
Fixed Registration Viewport Scrolling: Resolved a critical UI issue where adding multiple custom fields would prevent the registration page from scrolling. The layout is now fully responsive and scroll-friendly.
Advanced User Management (Admin Panel): Upgraded the Admin "User Show" section. Administrators can now view, download submitted attachments, and edit a student's custom registration fields directly from the profile.
File Upload Handling: Improved secure storage handling for student-submitted attachments (CVs, IDs, Certificates), ensuring they are stored in protected, organized directories.
Admin Workflow Optimization: Reduced the number of clicks required to manage students, approve job listings, and configure system addons.
Bug Fixes
Authentication Redirect Logic: Resolved an issue where users were occasionally redirected to incorrect pages after login based on specific roles.
Bulk Download Accuracy: Fixed a data glitch where bulk student exports would occasionally skip records under heavy server loads.
Addon Stability Fix: Resolved minor conflicts when multiple coding asset addons were activated at the same time.
CSS Consistency: Corrected layout shifts on the login and registration pages across Safari and mobile browsers.
Technical Update Instructions for Existing Users:
File Update: Replace the existing files with the new version 1.2.7 files.
Database Migration: Run php artisan migrate to automatically add the phone and custom_fields columns.
Storage Link: Ensure you run php artisan storage:link to enable the new dynamic attachment viewing feature.
Clear Cache: Run php artisan optimize:clear to ensure the new CSS scrolling fixes and dynamic field logic are active.
