At Union-Local, we are always working on improving the features we offer our customers, as well as add new features that we think are necessary or will improve the capabilities and overall experience of creating a website through our service. Following are few things we have been working on:
New Themes
Looking for a new theme to change the look of your site? Over the last couple of months we have been adding a number of new themes to our selection. Each of the new themes comes with a variety of colors, multiple theme positions and other options. One of the themes, for instance, comes with 8 different color schemes to pick from. Watch for more themes to come.

New Features/Updates
- Legal Settings
We have added a new feature to the settings menu of the Admin Console called "Legal Settings". The Legal Settings are meant to give you one convenient place to store your "Privacy Policy" and "Terms & Conditions" for your website. When you add content into either one of these documents, a new link will automatically appear next to the copyright statement at the bottom of each one of your pages. It is important to have these on every page, so your site users have easy access to this information.
In general, a privacy policy is used to inform the users of your website about the type of information that is collected on your website and how you intend to use the collected information. This could range from information collected during the user registration process to filling out online forms and/or collecting site traffic information through third party services such as Google Analytics. Please note, if you are using Google Analytics to track user traffic on your site, Google actually requires you to put a Privacy Policy in place - this can be found in Google's terms and conditions, section 7.
The terms and conditions should basically outline to your users the rules for using your site. For instance, we have a condition for our customers that we reserve the right to cancel their account if they use our service to promote inappropriate content.
- File Manager Upgrade
We have upgraded the file manager that you use to manage documents and images for your website. The new file manager has an improved interface and better handling of uploads. A new feature with this version, which was not available in the previous file manager, is the ability to download your documents and images.
Miscellaneous Bug Fixes
This is a list of bugs we have fixed that might or might not have affected you in the past based on the themes and/or features you are using:
- When editing your THEME SETTINGS, some of the settings of other parts of your page, such as module colors would revert back to their default settings rather than staying at their selected values.
- When editing a module with dropdown options, the dropdown value would revert back to the default value each time you clicked the "Edit" button. If you did not notice this, the colors of your modules might have changed.
- Depending on the theme you have selected for your site, the title of your pages, which shows in your browsers window at the top would read "Untitled Page". This should now display the name of your organization plus the name of the page you are currently on.
- When editing a text module, the editor control would not display correctly. |
