Another month has come and gone and our Dev team has been busy making some changes and upgrading the Fanbooster system. Keep reading to find out more about this month's system updates.
1. Filtering & viewing of images received via the picture contest has now made easier in the fanbooster widget system & on the app in facebook in 2 ways -
a. A more powerful search box that allows you to filter down images even with 1 or 2 characters
b. Stay in the same image pop up and easily browse filtered images by pressing the previous / next buttons
2. Image pop up in preview fixed - When the widget was placed at the bottom of an application and the app was previewed, images were being cut and not displayed properly. This has now been fixed.
3. Like / Share breaking the Gallery - In the descriptions fields of like & share if the enter button was pressed it would result in breaking of the gallery. It now works smoothly.
4. Back & Forth Arrows on Images: It was noted that when viewing images on mobile the back & forth arrows were in fact too small and did not allow the user to navigate images. Now 20% on each side of the image is clickable and take the user back & forth to images when viewed from a mobile device.
5. Shared image link from Mobile: When clicking on a shared link from the mobile the user was direct to the default page. This is now fixed to ensure the user is taken to the app on the default page.
6. Custom Title & Description fields: When using the form and creating custom title and description fields the same are now reflected in the image pop up when viewed.
2. Spam Prevention: We have made our form more secure and faster to responding to possible spam attacks that could be coming in.
TAB-in-TAB:
Minor updates to make sure the user always gets to the correct tab.
OTHER UPDATES:
1. URL shorter & Special Characters: The URL shortner now supports special characters such as ø,å,æ & can generate a short URL out of URL's that have these characters.
2. Invite widget: Facebook has now set a limit of 60 characters for the invite widget. The widget center will now alert you when you exceed this limit.
3. Instagram Widget: We have made an improvement that now allows your tab with the Instagram widget on it to handle more traffic.
That's all for now folks. Keep a look out for the next system update & for now do write into us with any bugs or suggestions you might have for the widget system
Statistics on the URL shortener
fb.st has gained a lot of popularity among all of you and with that was a big request to be able to see the statistics of the URL's being generated and hence being clicked on. Now be able to see a comprehensive view of all your short URL's - number of hits, what countries your clicks are coming from, who & where the referrers are coming from and what the overall traffic is looking like.Picture contest updates
