Update: Invitations, Message Centre & Contact Form
Last weekend, we added a few features to our community kit. mixxt now comes along with enhanced invitation and message centre settings as well as a new contact form to get in touch with the community’s founder directly.
Invitations
To win new members for a community, the founder – and, depending on privacy settings, other members – may send invitations to the email addresses or mixxt-IDs of the desired persons. Since the latest update, mixxt additionally provides a summary of all previously sent and accepted invitations:
As usual, an export as CSV is offered and on top of that, administrators can resend invitations another time. This feature is very helpful to politely remind potential new members to join the network.
Message Centre
The message centre has also received a small cosmetic treatment: The mailboxes (inbox, sent, drafts) now offer the option to “select all messages” with one click. By means of this mass editing, all selected messages can either be “marked as read”, “marked as unread” or entirely “deleted” at once.
Contact Form
In the footer of every community there is a short reference to their founders, such as “Created by Wile E. on mixxt”. So far, the founder has often only been reachable for members of their own community, but not for any external person. From now on, everybody can reach the founder by just clicking the link and reaching a “mini imprint” which states:
This network was created by using the social network kit “mixxt”. The network host is exclusively responsible for all published content in this network. [...]
mixxt does not accept any liability or guarantee on the correctness, integrity, quality or actuality of the provided information. The Terms of Service of the mixxt GmbH apply for this information.
Find a contact form below this information to send a message to the community’s host. Registered users just need to enter a text, all others also have to provide their name and email address.
In the past, we often received messages which were actually meant to reach the community host. Implementing this form, has especially fastened the request process by leading the messages directly to the responsible persons and avoiding a long way round the mixxt support team.
New Designs
Many of you will already have noticed, but the designs are very fancy and deserve even more attention: In addition to the creative, colourful or themed styles, administrators may now also choose from 8 very simple but elegant designs:
Stay tuned, since we will release some more nice features soon!
