SOAR

The maximum file size of an uploaded file for the Files section and Attachments has been increased from 2 to 5 MB.

In the Month View of the Calendar you can now click on the Date to create a new event. The new event will then default to the date selected.

This should make adding multiple events to the Calendar easier until the "rehaul" of the Calendar function is completed in Spring.

We have added a Storage Space report which is now available in the Control Panel.

This should help in keeping track of how much storage space you have available and where current storage space is being used.

SOAR is pleased to announce general availability of our new Photo Upload Tool.

New Features
- Java based - will work in all browsers.
- Select multiple files to at the same time. No more selecting a single file at a time !
- See thumbnails of the pictures while you select them.
- Upload progress "meter" to keep track of the upload process.
- Picture "reduction" is now done on your computer, before the upload. This results in smaller files for upload and faster uploads.
- The Last Modified Date of the picture is now used to sort pictures in a Photo Album. No need to worry anymore about what order you upload pictures in.

At least one Theme now support the display of background images and the selection of that image from an image library.

This feature is available via the Background button on the Control Panel in the Site Theme section.

Note: This feature only works with themes that have "background" in their name.

The current themes have been completely rewritten to address a number of display issues with Firefox and to support new features in the future.

The first of these features is the ability to customize the font family, font size, and various colors used in the display of your unit website. A new button called "Customize" is now available on the Control Panel in the Site Theme section to access this feature.

Note: When creating a custom theme, be aware that if you switch Themes you will loose any customization you have made. Make sure to pick your primary Theme first !

You can select the image that will be shown in the header (top) of all your unit website pages. A stock library of images has been provided for your selection.

With this function you can select the background image that will be used with your website. A stock library of background images has been provided for your use.

Note: To use the background feature, you need to select a Theme that has "background" in the name.

Through this page you can customize the currently selected Theme. This includes items such as font family, font size, and colors for various portions of your unit website.

Note: Each theme may have different attributes that can be customized.

Fonts

Only fonts that are guaranteed to be on all computers are available for use. You computer may have additional fonts, but that does not mean computers of your members will have the same fonts.

Colors

Valid color values are 'none' or a hex color code such as '#FFFFFF'. The 'none' value can be used to allow the attribute to be transparent and let the background show through or to remove a color. To the right of each color value is a button that will bring up a graphical color picker to assist in selecting colors.

Using this page you can change the look & feel of your unit website by selecting from one of the pre-packaged themes available.

Note: Selection of a new theme will discard any customizations to previous themes
