New options for design and moderation
Last night we added a another piece of harmony to our recent mixxt version.
Design & CSS
In addition to six new standard designs (with such nifty names as Blue Sky, Heaven, Shine or Winter), we optimised the custom CSS mode. CSS stands for “Cascading Style Sheets” and allows the administrator to customise the network design (such as fonts, colours or layout) individually. Yes, good catch, the custom CSS has already been implemented before this update, but is now much more comfortable to handle :) Another news: You can now upload images for using them in the CSS, e.g. as a background image.
Let’s get creative!
Moderation in networks
To make mixxt even better for collaborative work, we added some moderation settings. Administrators can now adjust the users’ rights to edit content more precisely. If the administrator defines it in the privacy settings, members holding a moderator status may now edit or delete other members’ events, forum posts or images. Shortly, this feature will also be available for blog posts.
This is particularly useful for networks which require an increased effort in moderation. The admin can assign some of his duties to the moderators and let them fully perform their respective tasks. If a member uploads an image which violates the owner’s copyright or writes a forum post which doesn’t comply with the community rules, the moderator can react independently and edit or delete this content.
And that’s not all: Keep your eyes and ears open, there will be another update in the course of this week! This update comes along with to be continued…
