Updates_button_2

We made some updates to your Tendenci software today.  As always, give us a ring with any questions:  (281) 497.6567.  Check these out:

  1. Favorites – You can now ‘favorite’ articles on your Web site for easy access to content you like.  Mark your favorite as public or private, giving different access to site members who view your profile. ~ We will be adding favorites to many more modules within Tendenci – so stay tuned!
  2. Improved membership
    search
    – If you, as a site administrator, are searching for a member (“Jones”) and are unable to find a membership record, Tendenci now looks at the user’s
    table and displays any records for "Jones" and prompts you to add from the
    user record.  Ask us for a demo – it will help simplify your life!

  3. New Survey description fields
      New TopCMID and BottomCMID fields have been added to the Surveys module so
    you can add paragraphs and extra text to surveys.

  4. External registration links on Calendar Events
    – 
    Offering registration to organization events other than your own?  Your calendar event pricing pages can now be linked to external  registration pages to keep things clean and simple for your members.

Tendenci newsletters blocked on April 12th and 13th

Our Spam filters were overzealous and blocked some of your newsletters April 12th and April 13th (until 12pm).

What
happened

On Wednesday evening, we upgraded our routers to increase our
sites’ performance.

Unfortunately configuration on the upgraded routers’
Spam filter was too tight and blocked some of our Tendenci sites’ outbound
newsletters yesterday and this morning until 12pm.

What this means
This means that any newsletters you sent directly from
your Web site yesterday may not have been sent.  We are contacting you
specifically because we know from your log reports that you used your Web site
to email your members.

This is very serious.  We take full responsibility
and apologize for any inconvenience or confusion this causes.

What to do
Our Support Team is ready to help you in any way we
can.  To re-send your newsletter, you can follow these instructions on How to Clone a
Newsletter
or contact us at (281) 497.6567.

Tenenci router upgrade alert tonight April 11th from 8-9pm

We have been experiencing sporadic latency in our network connectivity due to the load on the router during peak traffic. 

To keep things running fast and smoothly, we will be upgrading our router today, Wednesday April 11th, between 8 and 9 pm CST to handle the increase in traffic. 

We expect this upgrade to be seamless but if a interruption does occur it will only be for a brief 5 minute or less interval.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your business!  It is an honor to grow with your organization!

Please call us at (281) 497.6567 or email us at support@tendenci.com with any questions or concerns.
