In events & bookings → reservations, bookings & attendance, you can now filter bookings shown in the table of bookings for selected event(s) by any combination of their status. Read More…
Map links for event venues
For some time, venues for events have had a menu where you can select the venue’s location as a point on a map. So far, Cameo has done nothing useful with this information. Now, however, you can use it to include a map link alongside the venue name in all the places where it may be helpful. Read More…
Improvements to table of templates
In communications → templates:
* There’s a new column for last change by in addition to the last change on column that’s been there for a while
* Also a filter on last change by
* There’s only one pin now instead of three
* Cameo no longer copies other people’s pins when you copy a template. Read More…
Discount codes
A new section, trading → discount codes, lets you define codes with various properties, like value and validity dates. You can then offer a box in forms which take payment, for members or customers to obtain that discount. The discount codes section also summarises which codes have been used, when and who by.
Initially, you can use these codes with the join form. We’ll extend this to other forms such as shopping (merchandise) and booking (for events) in future. Read More…
Contact form can now ask for phone number
The contact form type, which allows people to sign up as contacts, can now request a phone number. Tick the relevant box in the form options to include it. Choose either optional (they don’t have to provide it) or required (they must put at least something in the box). Read More…
New addresses for sending emails to Cameo
In future, Cameo will handle its own incoming email directly (instead of checking a separate mailbox every so often). New addresses look like this: destination@to.cameo.example.com
To introduce this in a controlled way, we need to change the addresses you send to. The old addresses will continue to work for the next few weeks, but please start using the new addresses now. Read More…
Encrypted backups
For added security, we now encrypt backups during creation. The backup file names now indicate the type and sequence of the backup. Read More…
Logging in using Chrome password manager
There is a catastrophic bug in Chrome’s password manager, where it confuses and overwrites passwords belonging to websites whose URLs use different sub-domains of the same domain name. For example, when you use two entirely different login pages, such as https://www.example.com/wp-login.php and https://cameo.example.com/login, you can lose the password for the former. It is possible to persuade Chrome to get this right, but it takes a little effort. Read More…
Subject access requests
A new section, member tasks → subject access request, provides automation for gathering together data to fulfil a GDPR subject access request. We keep the data as a formal record of the request. Read More…
Login improvements to “Remember me” and two-step verification
Remember Me on login now remembers each computer/browser you use independently. It also no longer stops remembering you if you change networks, provided the IP address is one we have seen before. (If you already had remember me turned on, I’m afraid this change means you will have to log in next time, but you should then find it stays on more).
If you lose access to your two-step verification (aka two factor authentication, or 2FA) app, Cameo now offers two alternative methods for the second verification.
If you log in from an IP address we have not seen before, Cameo now sends you an email to let you know (so if it wasn’t you, we can do something about it). Read More…
