New Release: 11 July Events Updates

[Phil McCluskey]

Hi All,

Just a note to let you know that today we introduced some updates to the way Events work on Mobile. We've added the ability for your members to RSVP via the mobile interface and respond to invitations. And based on your feedback, we've changed the way the Events list is displayed so that events are now grouped by date. We've included the event start time and location in the listing as well.

We've also made these improvements:

• The ability to display Featured Events and Groups in those pages
• The NC and Admins can now see private profile questions on profile pages
• Oversize images in Group discussions are now resized

Take a look and let us know what you think. We're continuing to polish mobile up prior to a general release.

Hi Mark,

We'll see what we can do about the language string for the button here.

As far as member behavior goes with the actionbar button, I think members will become accustomed to using the icons on the bar to access various types of actions; it's something we should reassess based on usage and member feedback once it's been out there for a little while. Note that a member who has been invited to an event will see a yellow notification and the buttons at the top of the event, so in that context it's much more obvious.

Thanks,
Phil

Great!!! I love this mobile version :D

we can customize CSS or Language Editor on mobile!?

[Eric Suesz]

No CSS customization, but I think that all of the details are available in the Language Editor. 

[Katie McKay]

Can you add "Export to Outlook or iCal"?   It shows up on the RSS Feed on mobile and is a great feature for mobile events.   Puts the events and all the details right into my iphone calendar.

[Eric Suesz]

Excellent suggestion, Katie. We may be able to add this detail. Hoping we can.

Well done Ning, outstanding.  Looking forward to being able to post photo's up from my phone when the new iPhone update comes out

[Eric Suesz]

Me, too. Hope that update from Apple in the "fall" means early fall and not late fall.

I can't believe I'm just now seeing this, not to mention I don't recall getting a Best of the Week email.

It's late, so I'll have to look into this more in the morning.

We need our members to be able to add friends via the mobile app also they need to be able to check their in box messages can this be done?
