Tendenci Software Features You Should Be Using!

Empower your site users with extended permissions
Tendenci’s new extended permissions module allows you to grant specific users and user groups with administrative access to particular parts of your site.  Right now, these new permissions are only available for the CMS module, but we want to add other modules as time permits. Contact us if you are interested in funding any other modules.

These extended permissions mean that a site user who previously did not have administrative rights can be given admin access to CMS pages – but not to the entire site. This is a great way to encourage user participation, while still giving you some control over who can edit and approve what parts of your site. Learn how to set this up by reading the help file here.

New comments feature gives you instant communication
Include comments to your site for great communication on your articles, events, directory listings and more. You can specify what items you’d like open for feedback on your Web site (read our comments help file here) and gain useful feedback from your site visitors and members.

Exciting Tendenci Software Updates

Updated newsletter mailing and status filters make your life easier
A recent Tendenci update has changed the way you sort and send out your newsletters for the better!  Instead of sending out your newsletters in real-time, Tendenci now sends them out in batches helping to cut down on memory and time-out issues.  Get all the details on the Tendenci blog.

You may have also noticed some changes when searching for older newsletters - as you can now filter your emails by their status:

• Open - still in build and has not yet been finally submitted (has not agreed to Step 5 yet)
• Submitted - agreed to Step 5 and is awaiting being processed
• In Progress - the batch process has begun, but is not yet complete
• Closed - the batch process has been completed and all emails have been sent
• Cancelled - the email was deleted (cancelled)
