We have finally released the Messaging & Profile plugin V2.0 (previously called Blab Messaging).



New features include

• New combo message box
• Option to allow users to send files and images as messages
• User searchable user list based on usergroup or other criteria
• Better integration with the dashboard
• Option to create message boxes to handle private chats with a specific user (for example chat with admin)
• Users can see if they have unread private messages

This version has been totally redeveloped but we have tried to keep it backward compatible. However to use any new features you should use the built in snippet generator to create the message box and user list snippets required to add to your pages. The plugin has a full manual and explanatory videos to help.

Sitelok 5.7 contains a number of new features, tweaks and bug fixes.

Added a 'Not member of usergroup' quick filter

Added a new option to the dashboard allowing you to login as any user without knowing the users password.

The dashboard now warns when selecting, deselecting or clearing selected users when there are already users selected.

The update profile form designer now has option to add users to usergroups or remove users from usergroups using hidden fields.

Multiple usergroups can be assigned to the search engine access feature.

The snippet generator now has an option to create a link to a users login start page.

Fixed issue causing drop down select menus in forms to appear squashed when using some Rapidweaver themes.

Fixed issue when using MariaDB with PHP7.2 on some servers.

Form designer checkboxes now have a default value of Yes instead of having no value. Some users forgot to set a value so the checkbox didn't work as expected.
