Libraries

SEO

Site Copier

• Site copier now copies the page SEO and schema options for a page.

Widgets

• The social share widget has been updated to make the email share icon more readable.  The light grey has been changed to a darker tone
• There is now an option in the countdown widget to display seconds

Improvements 

API

• Title is no longer a required field if you are updating an exhibitor.  it is still required if you are creating a new exhibitor
• Categories posted to the visitor API endpoint are now accepted in the same format as those for exhibitors and libraries

General

• There is now a filter in the mass compiler which allows us to filter on sites that have Gateway enabled allowing quick and easy compiling of their CSS when changes are made to Gateway

Integrations

• We have a new integration with Xporience in which we can pull exhibitor data from them and have SSO from their manual into our ezone

Pages

• We have a new option set per site that allows us to set a default page layout.  When we then use the inherit option, the page will use this default layout.

Seminars & Speakers

• Changes have been made to the speaker activation across sites.  If a speaker exists with the same speaker code then this is now deactivated across all sites in the same event.  There are also options now to control Gateway activation from speakers, and vice versa if you have Gateway enabled.

Reporting

• The views column has been removed from all export reports as this functionality has been removed when the back office reskin took place.

SEO

• We now automatically resize the OG image field on the front end of a site more in line with best practice.

Site Copier

• When copying over sessions we now copy over the associated speaker photos as well

Bug Fixes

API

• Categories can now be posted as part of the session API post.

Forms

• A length of 0 for a phone number field now allows unlimited characters inline with the other fields

General

• the new 3rd party code placer no longer double submits in certain circumstances
• Folder names have now been stripped from the download logos.  This was causing an issue when zipping.
