Gallery Widget V2, Upload Widget V3.0.3 - Release Notes - Jan 3, 2013


The gallery and uploader widgets work great as standalone products, but together they are a tightly integrated UGC solution.

The latest release of this dynamic duo improves producer usability and portability.

For the producer, we've reduced the effort required to re-deploy a widget. A widget can be re-assigned to a specific campaign by changing a couple simple parameters in the embed code.

In order to achieve a balance between revenue and user experience, we've rebuilt the navigation to load within the widget (not a page refresh) while adding the ability to refresh advertising on the host page.

Other stuff:

Uploader

  • Fixed Facebook Login in Safari (again)
  • If the uploader is being used with a companion gallery, the user is redirected back to the gallery after uploading
  • Parent page URL is now passed through the lost password workflow, ensuring users return to the correct page after reset
  • Fixed issue where channel and group IDs not passed from login to upload page
  • Added a link "Back to Gallery" to the uploader if it is associated with a gallery
