Sitelok V6.9 released

Sitelok V6.9 has been released with some new features, bug fixes and tweaks.

Multiselect fields

Registration, update profile and contact forms now have a multiselect field available. You can optionally set the minimum and maximum selections allowed as well as the number of rows shown in the form. The selected options are stored in the custom field separated by commas.

Multiselect field settings

Handling existing users in registration forms

Added options to handle registration forms when the user already has an account. Useful when using a registration form to add user to a newletter usergroup for example. Options now include

  • Block registration and show warning (default action)
  • Delete existing account (use with caution)
  • Delete existing accounts if all usergroups are expired
  • Just add user to the form usergroup and continue
  • Send an email template to the user and then redirect to a different thank you page.

Product selection during registration

Previously if a registration form was used to take payment the relevant product had to be set in the form. We now have a new Product dropdown field so that the user can choose the product to purchase. There is also an option to use a hidden field instead which you could perhaps set from javascript.

Automatic username based on name

If you would like a registration form to generate a unique username based on the users full name or first name the you can add a hidden username field to the form containing the value UNIQUEFROMNAME or UNIQUEFROMFIRSTNAME. This will generate the username and append a number to make it unique if needed.

Other features

Added !!!lastgroupname!!!, !!!lastgroupdesc!!! etc email template variables have been added.
New Send Email action snippet added.
Email template conditionals now work in the email subject.
Specific users can be set to bypass concurrent login (if enabled) by adding a setting to slconfig.php (useful for admin users for example).

Messaging & Profile plugin V2.6 released

Some new features and bug fixes have been added to V2.6 which we have released now. Details of the changes can be found in the version history tab of the plugin page.

One important new feature is the ability to display user data in user lists in more flexible ways. This can include data stored in custom fields populated by the new HTML editor field available in Sitelok V6.8 and above.

It is also possible to layout and style the user data in the list using a Sitelok email template. This allows fields to be positioned and styled as needed. This is great for a member or company directory for example.

One of our clients has a great example of a user list in action on yogateacherstogether.org. Yoga teachers register with the site to be listed in the searchable directory. Notice that the list shows some basic information (certain Sitelok fields) and Read More links to the profile page with further details. Here is how their searchable list looks (try it out using the link above).
