Release Notes - 15th June 2010

More great new features and a handful of fixes. As always if you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.

Get interested people to sign up via SMS

Insight already provided great functionality to allow you to send SMS messages to your members. However, we've enhanced this so that you can ensure your SMS campaigns are fully compliant.

We now support opt-in via messages to SMS short codes, and when a user has fully completed the opt-in process their details can be added to a group in the Insight system that you specify. Are you kidding me! Grow your organization in new and simple ways by getting your keyword now.

We are also now able to offer a competitive lower rate for SMS messages.

KEYWORDS are available first come first serve, so request yours now! How about "Text PRAYER for our church's latest requests", "Text DEAL for our store's latest sale, "Text WORD for the Scripture of the Day", or "Text BILL to join our campaign"? The list is endless. With a 98% open rate on this type of communication how can you pass it up?

If you are interested in taking advantage of this new functionality, please to contact us and we'll secure your keyword and get you started on our secure shortcode.

Media list can now play in embedded player

In a recent release, we brought you a brand new media component. We've now added the ability to link it with the media list component so that the contents of your playlists can play directly in the new media player component. So now you can create pages with rich media content that is dynamically updated and playable right there on the page - no more pop-up players!

Just head off to the Themes & Layouts area on the Settings tab, drop a media list component on the page, drop a media player component on the page and then, in the configuration settings for your media player module, choose "Media List" from the media location options. If you want to have more than one list/player pair on the page, you'll need to make sure your media list has a unique title and that you enter it into the "media list title" box in settings of the player you want that list to play to.

Other enhancements and bug fixes

• We've fixed the broken link to "Update your profile" on the login box component.
• There were some outdated instructions to import calendar CSVs into Outlook 2000 that we've removed from the monthly calendar page. The export functionality remains, however.
• 'Antigua' was incorrectly listed as a European country in the delivery regions. This has been corrected.
• When creating option choices for a payment group, the display was broken in the Firefox browser when clicking the 'Add description' button. This is now fixed.
• We have added the SMIL file type to the available options for audio/video media. This currently only supports load balancing from certain streaming media providers and is not, at this stage, full support for SMIL.
• Canada and New Zealand have been added to the list of site regions for currency, language display and paper sizes etc.
• The forum threads page was aligned incorrectly in certain circumstances in Safari and Chrome. This is now fixed.
• The PDF attendance register report in the Reports area of the Web Office now matches the PDF generated from the attendance tab in the Site Manager.
• We've fixed an issue where "Loading..." was permanently displayed in the Resource Browser instead of the date.
• The anchor pop-up in the document editor was sized incorrectly in Firefox - now fixed.
• For sites that had chosen to have the group tree in the Web Office initially collapsed, no notification icons were displayed. The notification icons now display correctly in all circumstances.
• The sent date for system emails was showing incorrectly in the mailing wizard. This has been corrected.
• In the document editor, links that had been edited could not have click-tracking added due to a bug. This has been fixed so click tracking now functions properly.
• Email templates are now available when emailing a user directly from their user record.
• In some circumstances, documents that were not publicly visible did appear in lists in the Web Office immediately after they were created. This has been fixed, and all new documents should appear straight away.
• The CSV shop data export was missing some new line characters, now fixed.
• Layout components can now be added to the Welcome articles in payment groups.
• Audio/video recording publication and expiry dates weren't properly respecting time zone settings. This is fixed now.
• The NIV daily bible verse feed no longer works, so existing feeds have been changed to point to the ESV feed.
• Searching by tag no longer retrieves deleted documents.
• The 'pay later' option was not correctly appearing where a shop's payment processor was PayPal. This is now fixed.
• On US form submissions, the 'County' field has now been correctly regionalized to 'State' and 'Postcode' to 'Zipcode'
• For sites with a larger than average font size, the 'Add card to wallet screen' contained overlapping blocks. This has been fixed.
