Feature Requests

Request password field added to Create User API

cameron — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 11:49:07 GMT

we request that the create user API be changed to allow a password to be supplied during the call rather than generate a semi-random one as it currently does.

changing the order of photos in an album

CCS_Heather — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:33:00 GMT

Once photos have been uploaded in an album it doesn't seem possible to change their order. Would it be possible to add this functionality?

Ability to search content of discussions

CCS_Heather — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 15:39:37 GMT

I just heard that the search feature does not seach content of discussions! Was told to request this as a feature request, please can we have this amended?

thanks - Heather at CCS

Create User API return ID of already existing User

cameron — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:39:24 GMT

Would it be possible for the createUser API, when it is used with an email address that already exists, to return the ID of that user instead of just failing by saying the email already exists?

Email Digest customization

Julie — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 20:09:00 GMT

I'd like to have more control as an adminstrator over what shows in the Email digests that are sently weekly. For example, I'd like to see more detail on the blog posts that show. This will help to drive traffic to those posts if more information is shown. Thanks!

Request that APIs be updated to allow them to add categories

cameron — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 19:54:00 GMT

We request that the UpdateSocialObject API have added functionality to assign an SO a category, and also that the GetSocialObject(s) return categories as well. Also I believe the XSLT function iPageInformation:ShowXML($whatever,'whatever') would also need to be updated to return categories.

Request addition to Create Event API for Social Objects

cameron — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 18:29:00 GMT

I see there is a Create Event API, but it looks like it works only for users, not social spaces, as one of the parameters is sysuserid={UserID}.

We request the API be expanded to be able to add events to social objects, perhaps as another parameter, with UserID as the owner of the SO, and SOID as the param ID of the object that is parent to the new event.

last known user IP address thru XML

cameron — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 17:39:00 GMT

I noticed that the admin panel records the last known IP address of users, but when I use the show XML button () there does not seem to be a record in that XPath.

it would help us if the IP could be recorded in a format retrievable via XML

Brightcove video player

Rob — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 19:24:00 GMT

I'd love to be able to post our Brightcove video player into topics like the YouTube player.

Just want that for me as admin, not for all users.

Show who made the comment in new comment email

cameron — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 15:07:00 GMT

Currently the email notifcation being send when a group has a new comment, inline or otherwise i believe, says something like:
New Comment

System , You have a new comments for your Team.
<>

but doesn't say who posted the comment, forcing the user to go to the page in order to find that out. We request the originator of the comment be included in the email.

Admin Ability to Remove a Post

Jessica — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 18:20:00 GMT

Hi there -
I was told by the Support team that Administrators no longer have the ability to remove a post -- I find this a little unnerving and hope that this function will be restored ASAP.

Show Group on Event Invites

cameron — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 13:54:00 GMT

Events created by an SO admin and sent out do not specify from which group they are being sent. For an example, a Coach could created a practice event and send to all members of the Team, but the members receiving the invite do not know which Team it is from until they log in and check the event page, causing confusion for users who are on more than one Team.

So, could the originating Team/League/Group be included in the Event invite in a future update?

Download CSV file for events

cameron — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 14:14:00 GMT

Our users are loving the new calendar and events system, however there is one feature some are requesting. A lot of users need to check their schedule on the go, so the ability to download the List view of the calendar into a CSV file for use in excel or mobile apps would really help them out.

Save as Draft

Jessica — Tue, 16 Aug 2011 17:34:00 GMT

Would it be possible for members to save a Discussion board post as a draft?

Thanks! ~Jessica

Allow and use CIDR ranges for banned ips...

gadgeteer — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 16:01:00 GMT

This admin dashboard for maintaing a list of banned IPs, only lists individual IPs.

/admin/app/remoteip/managebannedips.aspx

It would be much more affective to also support and allow CIDR notation for ranges of IPs to be blocked.
