Links: Turn Web site Address Form Fields Into Buttons (00:01:58)

  • The ability to turn a website address form field into a button on a member’s profile page and other areas of the admin is available, allowing for a more customized user experience (00:01:59).
  • Custom fields can be added to the form where members enter their basic information, such as a TikTok link or a booking link, and these fields can be turned into buttons with customizable link text and colors (00:02:17).
  • Prior to this update, the full URL would be displayed on the public profile, but now it can be prettified and turned into a button with a little more control over the user experience (00:02:44).
  • The form manager can be used to customize the contact details form for members, and a new field can be added with a type of website URL, which can then be turned into a button with a chosen color and link text (00:03:11).
  • The button color can be chosen from the design settings, and link text can be added, such as “view my TikTok” or “go to my booking link”, and the changes can be saved and displayed on the member’s profile page (00:03:52).
  • Designers or web developers can also include icons instead of text, and each link has its own CSS class that can be targeted for more styling options (00:04:38).
  • The update allows for more attractive button links to be added to the member’s profile, and the process is straightforward, with the ability to add more styling options and customize the user experience (00:04:56).

  • To enable Embedly for members, administrators can click on the corresponding editors to grant access, allowing members to use the Embedly toolbar when publishing content (00:41:01).
  • Viewers can use the “raise your hand” feature to ask questions about Embedly, the tip of the week, new updates, or any website-related topics, which will be addressed within the remaining time (00:41:18).

What to do if a source isn’t supported by Embedly? (00:41:41)

  • If a source is not supported by Embedly, an alternative is to embed the content in the same way as before, by grabbing the embed code and pasting it into the code view (00:41:48).
  • To embed content from unsupported sources, it is possible to whitelist domains that are allowed to be embedded into articles, and this can be done by following the steps outlined in an article on the Brewery Directories blog (00:42:11).
  • Embedding iframes from unsupported sources requires whitelabeling the embeds from that domain to prevent unauthorized embedding, and a short video is available that shows how to embed iframes on a website and into posts (00:42:32).
  • If the embed code is complicated, it can be turned into a custom HTML widget by going to the widget manager, creating a new custom HTML widget with the embed code, and then copying and dropping the shortcode into the blog post (00:43:02).
  • These methods provide alternative ways to embed content that is not supported by Embedly, in addition to the usual drag and drop or sharing methods (00:43:28).

How to see when website admins update members’ info? (00:43:51)

  • The management group used to check membership updates by going to the login date range and putting in the date to review the updates, but this method is no longer working (00:44:03).
  • There is a search feature in the activity tracker that can be used to search members and track their activity, and it may be possible to search by IP address or email address (00:44:34).
  • The activity tracker can show the last login date and time, but it may not be accurate because it tracks the admin’s actions, not the member’s actual login (00:45:25).
  • The staff’s activity can be tracked by searching by IP address or email address in the activity tracker, which can provide some direction and precise information (00:45:52).
  • The management group used to bulk update member information, such as company name, address, and phone number, but this is no longer possible because they cannot pull up all the members at the same time (00:46:41).
  • It may be possible to bulk update member information using MySQL, and there is a revision timestamp that shows the last time information was saved (00:47:16).
  • The users’ data in MySQL has a sign-up date and a last login date, but it may not have a timestamp for the last change made to the account (00:47:45).
  • The management group is looking for a way to track the staff’s work and review their updates, and they may need to start tracking the timestamp of the last change made to each account (00:48:10).
  • The discussion revolves around adding a revision timestamp to users’ data tables to track the last update from members, which would solve the problem of indicating when data was last revised (00:48:25).
  • The situation is a bit different for some users, such as physicians, who are not allowed to access certain data due to its sensitivity, but adding a revision timestamp would still be beneficial (00:48:56).
  • The revision timestamp would provide a record of when data was last updated, even if staff members are revising or receiving information in the user’s data, allowing for better tracking (00:49:15).
  • Another suggestion is to add a custom field to one of the forms that saves a hidden field with a timestamp, which would save the current date and time when contact details are saved (00:49:44).
  • The webinar also covers other topics, including the power user settings and the ability to embed content from over 700 sources, with the next webinar scheduled to take place in two weeks (00:50:04).
  • The attendees are encouraged to enable the mobile preloader by going to their advanced settings and searching for preloader, and to email the support team if they encounter any issues (00:50:26).
  • The webinar replay will be posted on the Brilliant Directories Facebook group, with links to the group and YouTube channel provided for those who want to stay updated (00:50:37).
