How to customize the web interface? Changing master page doesn't work!

We need to customize the web interface for our client. I am new in iMis, and our version is iMis15.
Seems simply change the master pages under /templates/masterpages/ folder doesn't affect the front-end look. However if I delete public.master, it reports error. If I put an empty public master page there, it still works as before I made the changes.
I notice all pages are inherited from Asi.Bae.Web.xxxx, does that mean we don't have any easy ways to modify the interface?

SQL Function for credit card number decryption in iMIS15 and SQL2005

There is a continuing need for a SQL Function or equivalent to decrypt credit card information from iMIS.

Of course there is an overall security concern, but there still are frequent requirements by customers to have a method to decrypt credit card info, beyond the standard reporting in iMIS.

I have done a little research on this. There is just a little info on it in www.imiscommunity.com.

A quick analysis of the new Google Social Graph API

When I saw the press release on the get Google Social Scene API I thought it sounded mildly interesting but not really compelling. Then I read this from a link on [url]http://www.simplebits.com[/url]: [url]http://bokardo.com/archives/why-im-excited-about-the-google-social-graph-api/[/url]. One of the annoying things about facebook, Myspace, linked-in, gmail, etc. is that all the contact/friend info is separate in each one other then facebook importing email contacts and the like.

iBOS CFunction.ViewOnWeb issue

I am working with the CEvent class in iBOS. I am trying to display the functions for a specific event on a website. To do this, I am creating a CFunction instance and checking the "ViewOnWeb" property of that CFunction, to determine if it should be displayed.

The "View On Web" check-box for these functions has been set using the iMIS client application. However, the "ViewOnWeb" property is still returning false for the functions.

Cross Module Product Promotion

This is a replica of a post in the consulting forum.

Has anyone seen or heard of anything that has been developed and / or integrated with imis to allow for product promotions like cross-selling and up-selling between imis modules. The idea is something that is similar to the upsell and cross-sell functionality that exists within orders

Examples of the functionality we are looking for are:

CEvent class - iBOS bug

Hey,

I'm pretty sure I've identified a bug in the CEvent class. I'm trying to get a list of all events stored in the iMIS database.

I'm using the Asi.iBO.Events.CEvent class, and the GetAllEventsInRangeByType function in that class. I create an instance of the CEvent class, and then call the GetAllEventsInRangeByType function with the parameters :
(IiMISUser, '1/1/2007', '6/1/2007', 'NMISC')
