Blog from July, 2016
Summary
The latest version of Reliant.org brings some awesome new features and quite a few quality of life improvements to the account creation process. Namely, an initial set of missionary search filters have been implemented and more are planned to make an appearance in the future.
Important highlights from this release
- Search filters are here! The missionary search feature can now filter results by fund type and missional location.
- Facebook meta tags are now generated for profiles, so that sharing your profile on Facebook will pull in your profile photo, name, and a snippet of your ministry description.
- Profile photo upload has been improved to help with slow or inconsistent connections.
- That pesky map on the missionary profile is now static and displayed at the bottom of the profile for mobile users.
- Financial partners can now make changes to a Recurring Gift if the payment method was rejected during processing.
- Users setting their passwords can now clearly see if it is strong enough to be used and that the password confirmation matches.
- Having trouble finding the right verification code in your email inbox when creating an account? Now users have 5 attempts for each verification code to verify their email address. A new code is emailed if you reach the maximum number of attempts.
- Links to Reliant's social media profiles are now displayed in the site footer. Give us a follow!
- Site layout has been improved for Retina Display enabled tablets.
- Miscellaneous bug fixes and performance improvements.
