Hello Dear Friends,
Do you know what day is it today?
Today is the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting day!
One special part of the Christmas season is the lighting of the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree. Did you know the first set up of the Rockefeller Christmas tree began in December 1931? The demolition workers gathered their money together to buy a Christmas tree.
Are you feeling Christmassy yet?
Today is also Release Day! At least for us, here at FanHero. This week... not that it will happen every Wednesday. Well, it's just today...
Anyway, here is what our team has been working on in the past few weeks:
New Community Theme Layout & Features - Portal
Remember my last release note?
Come on, I know you all read that
. Hint: When FanHero launched the new Community theme (yay!). We have been working on some UI improvements for you.
Menu
To further enhance your experience and ensure ease of use, we've revamped the side menu with a renewed focus on simplicity and intuitiveness.
The sections Videos, Text, Image and Audio were removed, since the Community theme focus is on the Feed.
The My Channel section was moved to the bottom with a settings icon.
Create Button
The 'Create' button centralizes the functionality to generate both posts (content) and products, streamlining the process for your convenience.
Create Content
Clicking on the 'Create Content' button will display a modal with the following content types: Live, Video, Audio, Image and Text.
Upon selecting a post type, you will be redirected to the Add Post screen (the fields will change depending on the type of post you selected).
Under the 'Advanced Settings' option, you will find additional optional settings for your post.
- Categories: ability to add your post to a category;
- Allow Comments: this setting allows you to enable or disable comments for a specific post;
- Push Notification: ability to send a push notification when the post is published;
- Geofence: ability to add a geofence to a specific post.
Create Recurring Product
This screen enables you to create a recurring product that can subsequently be added to a post, a category, or even your channel or organization.
Create One-Time Product
Similar to the screen above, this screen enables you to create a one-time product that can subsequently be added to a post, a category, or even your channel or organization.
Create Digital Product
Yes, FanHero's latest feature - Digital Products! But, what is a Digital Product?
A digital product refers to any product that is intangible and exists in a digital or electronic format. These products are created, distributed, and consumed through digital means.
FanHero offers you the capability to create a Digital Product by merging two robust and widely-used features: post creation and product creation. With just one simple step, you can commence selling a variety of items such as a creatively edited video, an appealing image, an engaging text post on diverse topics, or even an audio post showcasing your singing talents.
Your Digital Product is distinctly identified within the web application, ensuring that users can easily recognize it as a separate and distinct offering from other items or content available.
Embed Video with Ads (Community & VideoFlix Themes)
When Ads are enabled within the video player on your platform, this setting will now extend to your embedded videos as well, ensuring that ads will be displayed within the embedded content.
As we were already working on the embed feature, we've dedicated additional time to introduce new functionalities and enhance security measures:
- Embed setting:
This setting can be found within its own dedicated tab on the Video Post Editing screen.
The 'Enable Embed' option is exclusively accessible for 'Public' posts. If your post is set to any access level other than 'Public', you'll need to switch the access level to 'Public' before activating this feature.
After enabling the setting, the embed code becomes available for placement on any webpage.
New Dropdown (Community & VideoFlix Themes)
We have added newly redesigned dropdown fields.
The UI not only appears more refined and polished but also allows you to perform searches within the dropdown.
That is all for now. We may see each other again this week :)
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, reach out to your Customer Success Specialist.
Have a great day!
FanHero Team
