WHAT'S FRESH?
THESE ARE THE RECENT CHANGES TO SIMPLERO
Notifications for comments on forum posts would not be sent if you had muted notifications from the blog on a site.
You can now choose what participants are called for a given product: Member, Customer, Guest, Student, etc.
Featured courses and similar sections would function perfectly but show up as 'Unuspported section type' in the page section overview.
Search results for course lessons now include the name of the course and module in a little breadcrumb trail to help people understand where the lesson fits
When resuming a paused flow, what we used to do was calculate how long it was paused for (say 10 days), and just add that to the current wait time. So if it was originally to continue on Sep 1st, it'd now resume on Sep 10th. If you're doing something on a specific schedule, though, eg. the 1st of each month, or each Monday, then that's not helpful, because now it's thrown off schedule. It's a bit complicated, but here's what we came up with:
- If you're waiting for a duration
- If there are no adjustments (time of day, weekday, day of month), we just extend wait time with how long it was paused for.
- Otherwise if the original time to continue has passed, recalculate the adjustments from now
- All other wait times, we recalculate from now, in case the field value has changed, or the birthday or subscription period has passed.
This is all a bit complicated, but I think this should do what people would expect in every case. If not, we'll have to adjust again until we get it right. -Calvin
Courses are now available for the main Site
Massive performance optimizations on course pages
Let other people 'steal your landing page' by providing them with a special link they can use to copy your exact landing page over to their own Simplero account
Support for conditional liquid tags in mailing footer from Product/List/Affiliate Program, etc.
You can now add custom CSS for each section on a page, right there in the editor. We will automatically scope the CSS to the section in qusetion, and we'll also preprocess the CSS with both Liquid and SCSS, so you can use super-advanced markup, access your theme assets, and much more.
Made a bunch of improvements to the theme editor. Cleaned up navigation between customize theme, edit custom CSS, and edit code. Show when folders are open/closed in code editor. Fixed that you couldn't upload assets twice in a row. Allow closing the folder with the current file. After deleting a file, focus the editor on a neighboring file. Added icons for different file types in theme code editor.
New action on Automation Flows table: Update continue at - makes it possible to set when a flow should continue with the next step
When something goes wrong while processing an automation, back off exponentially, so we don't try the same thing that didn't work over and over again
New section for themed pages and landing pages: Text in 2 columns
Save edits in page editor and landing page editor to local draft, and offer to restore when you come back
Allow access to ALL Google web fonts from theme customization
You can now launch the image editor directly from the media files dialog, edit your images, and save them as a new media file, ready to use anywhere you can use media files in Simplero.
I broke duplicating steps in automations, and now I fixed it. While I was at it, I decided that duplicated a templated email step should duplicate the email as well, so now it does.
Improved how we process auto-responses internally to make it significantly more efficient
Product duplication: price "replaces price" and order form "hide the checkbox where we encourage..." are now correctly duplicating
Fixed that copying lots of subscribers from products or other lists would be super slow or even fail
From the badge where it says 'Renews xx date' or things like that, on the purchase card for the customer, link that to the manage payment page.
Show manage renewal on customer's purchase manage payment page, even when there are upcoming payments on a purchase.
Show link to manage payment on purchase on admin.
Commitment was always a bit confusing. If you said $99/month, with a 3 month commitment, you'd expect them to be able to cancel after the first 3 payments, but that's not how it worked. Well, now it is, folks! Once you've paid for that third month, you're free to cancel any time.
If the recipient going through an automation (eg. a product participant, or a list subscription) opted out of emails from that prodcut/list, then honor that when an automation is sending emails to them as well
Show the actual object in the automation on the flow page
Show timestamps in new purchase notification email in account time zone
Allow email notifying about new comments on tickets to be translated
Style URL fields (website, URL) the same as the other fields on embedded opt-in forms
Set Safari to drop its default styling for submit buttons on embedded opt-in forms
Twitter sharing link on themed landing pages now includes the official public URL, rather than the never-changing canonical URL which we use for most other sharing purposes
Duplicating a step was missing a couple wait-related parts
Allow creating pages that start with a number in the title
Filter for deliveries wouldn't give you the correct options, and link from broadcast to 'see who' for delivered would juts link to all recipients
Make notifications about new comments on space link to the comment on that page
Fixed that when inserting a Regular Header into the copy of an embedded form, that line wouldn't break across multiple lines in the admin interface editor, even though it will when the form is being displaed
Warning about a price expiring would show up in the middle of the list of price periods when adding a period
Fixed that the title 'Last at' showed twice for 2 different columns in the lists table column chooser
Tell user that they must click link in email before comment will be posted when posting comments without being logged in
Auto-focus back to the 2-factor authentication code input after checking the Remember me box
Fixed social graph meta data for checkout forms so Facebook doesn't show link to login page
Validate required radio buttons and required multi-checkboxes in embedded forms
Added a help text saying which time zone we interpret the entered gift giving time in.
Export of worksheet responses would only include very few columns, and none of the actual ansewr columns. It includes all relevant columns now.
Fixed that you wouldn't be allowed to download a video on a space when logged in, even though the space was open to the public and you could download when not logged in
Fixed that when a site comment needs email verification because the commenter is not logged in, the admin would be notified about moderating the comment before it was verified, but woludn't have anything to moderate because we don't show unverified comments
Fixed that all transactions in the table view would show in account currency instead of the actual currency of the transaction
Added a setting for custom HTML email templates to say whether you want us to show social sharing links in the web version or not
Course module/lesson publication status now shows when it's scheduled for release, when scheduled, and you can click it to quickl change status to draft/published/auto. For schedule, you still have to edit the module or lesson
