It's now possible to setup each Contact form to send a confirmatory email back to the person who completed the form.

You can use merge fields for [##FirstName##] and [##ApplicantsFirstName##] to personalise the email, as above.

If your contact forms use the default settings, some of them will be updated for you during August to include "thank you" messages.

By popular demand, changes have been made to the File Manager, as follows:

• Tick All: A new button has been added to make it easier to add all files in a folder to a photo album, news story, or event.
• Scrolling: A file can now be selected from the file list without the list scrolling up.
• Scouts Online Inventory: Adult awards and new badge images have been uploaded to the inventory for you to use on your events, news and web pages.
• Higher Resolution Images have been added to the SA_Images folders for you to use on wide image banner displays.
• File Storage Limit: This stays at 50MB, but this limit is now enforced and upload of very large files is now restricted to help you manage storage.

You may now add your own link buttons to the social link panel at the top of your website pages.

To add your own links, fill-in the Header Link 1 and 2 fields in the Admin/Global Settings or Group Details page.

If you use event booking forms, the email you receive now includes the event name and date/times.

This is especially useful for adult appointment interview bookings to show which interview slot has been booked, when you may have lots of interview events setup.

If a website visitor types in an incorrect page URL or opens a page that you've removed from your website, the visitor is shown an error page.

You may now personalise the text on this page. To do this, login as a Site Admin user, open a non-existent page and edit the HTML/text module.

A new Style field has been added to the settings of image banner controls. The options are as follows:

• Default Aspect: Shrink to fit height and width
• Full Width: Cut top and bottom to fit full width
• Full Width Parallax: The image reveals more as the page is scrolled up

You can now attach YouTube videos to your news articles.

This feature was added to allow a County Commissioner to Vlog directly from the Jamboree, uploading each vlog to YouTube and then adding the video to news stories on their website.

You can now access the pages you've added to your website using their page name.

So, if the About/Page1.aspx page is named "District Shop", it may now be accessed as /about/district-shop.

If you've created a Pages/Page?.aspx page, it can be accessed from the website root, similar to www.ScoutDistrict.org.uk/district-shop

Social media like and share buttons have been added to photo albums and events, so you can promote them via Facebook or Twitter.

If you have multiple Site Admin users, but still want to retain control over the whole website centrally, a single user can now receive an email every time a control module is changed.

Contact us if you'd like this setting up.

A new page has been created on the Members menu, to facilitate your LAAG and help you increase the number of adult awards you present.

This page includes resource links to award information pages and the online award nomination form.

You can enable the "Members/AdultAwards" page in Admin/Page Management.

To add a user to the LAAG team list, edit the user's details in Admin/User Management and tick the new LAAG Team field in the Roles & Website Rights tab.

An events calendar has been added to the About/What's On page. Website visitors can choose to view a list of events or the calendar view.

Where a District and its County both have Scout Online websites, any adult training courses setup on the County website will also appear on the training course list on the District site, alongside District only courses.

This simplifies the training course booking process for District website users and should increase the adult course bookings.

New roles have been added for District Youth Commissioner and County Youth Commissioner.

We've also added Welsh and Scottish Scouting role names. These will show instead of the English role names where the website country is set to Wales or Scotland.

To support your media team, a new page is now available on the Members menu. This includes an introduction, team list, media events/meetings list, resource links and a contact form.

You can enable the "Members/Media" page in Admin/Page Management.

Like the LAAG team list, you can add a user to the Media team in User Management.

New adult training course modules have been added to the event modules list for Achieving Growth, Meeting Challenges and Skills of Management.

The Members / Training Resource links have been updated to link to the new www.scouts.org.uk documents.

The Districts page on County websites now shows the District contact based on the user flagged as DC or the next highest-ranking user, rather than the District's main website contact.

A new "Activity Description" field has been added to the Adventurous Activity Permit form to help DCs decide whether to authorise each permit request.

The badge information pages have been amended so that you may change the page text and badge links list.

The sectional badge pages have been re-designed. The user can now select between Core, Challenge, Activity and Staged Activity badge types.

A brief introduction to the badge type is displayed, along with a list of the new badge images, with the 2019 Scouting logo, and links to the badge's information page on www.scouts.org.uk when clicked.

If your group uses the Adults section inside OSM for group wide events, you can now map the OSM Adults section to your website's "Group" section so you can import these events into your website to promote in events lists.

Where badges are attached to a programme event, including those from OSM, the viewer may now click on the badge image to open that badge's information page on www.scouts.org.uk

A sectional colour code key has been added to the About/What's On events calendar, to make it easier for parents to see which section each event relates to.
