Showoff Updates & Improvements - v4.3.18 – ASP Knowledge Base

Release Date: 12th December 2022

New Features

We have implemented a new feature into the Gateway login page where you can now login to Gateway through a link sent in an email. This is to assist users who have forgotten their password or users who may be trying to use the app onsite.
It is now possible to sort the attendee list by date registered
We have added the ability to setup default appointment locations for meetings that happen in Gateway. This is a simple set of locations that the show team can setup allowing the visitor or exhibitor to choose from a pre-determined list
For exhibitor type profiles in Gateway, there is now a button visible in Gateway to view their profile in the website
There is now a new widget for Composer 2.0 that is a logged in marker for Gateway. This widget will be a short cut menu to the Gateway zone from the website and will show if you are logged in or not, similar to the widget of the exhibitor zone. This will be rolled out to current composer sites over the next few weeks as well

A new section style called background image has been added to Tempo
A new section style for a video background has been added to composer sites
The slider widget now has the ability to have a random order set for the slides
When clicking into a site search, the cursor is now focused into the search box by default

The checkbox field in bulk password management has been expanded so you can see the explanation clearer for exhibitors that don't have usernames

Categories have now been added to the speaker and attendee profile pages
A speakers bio is now visible on their speaker entry page
The free text search field has been expanded to search more of the data returned for records in exhibitors, libraries, attendees, speakers and seminars

The cookie popup has a new setting where we can customise what cookies or 3rd party code is written to the site when a user visits
When editing a campaign tracker, you now stay on the selected campaign when you save your changes
The message shown to inactive accounts in Showoff has been updated to include the support email address

Start and end times for the event dates have been added in the SEO settings to give more accurate times for the event schema included for a site

API

Custom associations for a seminar session are now visible in the API for a session

Gateway

It is now possible in Gateway to assign an exhibitor to a group, allowing for different visibility settings for different companies and contacts
For exhibitor contacts logging into Gateway, we have now separated out exhibitors and personal profiles and there is now a drop down that allows an exhibitor contact to "switch" between their own profile or that of an exhibitor. There is also a setting to disable access to a persons profile so everything is done on behalf of exhibitors
Appointments and messages have now been separated so personal appointments are in the users profile and exhibitor specific appointments and messages are now within the exhibitors profile, creating cleaner inboxes for both of these types of users. Exhibitor appointments and messages are available and shared for all contacts that have access to a particular exhibitor profile in Gateway
All social media icons have now been added to an attendees profile and show just below the profile image
Saved contacts for an exhibitor profile are now visible to all contacts that have access to that profile in Gateway
Multiple levels of sub menu's have been added to Gateway

Security Enhancements

Logins to Gateway & The Ezone now follow the same lock pattern as Showoff. user accounts will be locked for 15 minutes after 5 invalid attempt and 10 invalid attempts blocks the IP address
HSTS response headers have been added to ALL sites that run with SSL's
Feedback to invalid login attempts for the ezone and Gateway have been made more generic and no longer disclose if an email address exists or not.
API key headers have been removed from an old integration we had for the Instagram widget

Ordering the exhibitor list by logo now ignores those records that use the default logo

Searching in Gateway and then using the pagination works as expected now
The dashboard menu is now not shown as selected if it is not the active page in Gateway

The data table for approvals has been fixed to show the submitted date and the approved date and the default sort order is now that of date submitted

the URL export report has been fixed to filter correctly if only 1 column is selected

Inactive companies a speaker is associated to are no longer shown on a speakers entry page
