Hello everyone!

Just wanted to let you know that mooSocial version 3.0 is now released. This release addresses a lot of found issues and some major improvements.

Below is a list of improvements made and bugs fixed that are included in this version. Let us know if you saw any bugs in our script or have any improvement suggestions. We will be glad to look into them.

Improvements Made:

  1. Added discount coupon code system for subscription module. Now you can create coupon code and send it to your members so that they can get discount when upgrading membership level.
  2. Memcached setting is added to speed up site loading speed. mooSocial has already supported CND and now it also supports Memcached. This will turn up the speed of your mooSocial community site a lot.
  3. Paypal Express Checkout payment gateway (already added at 2.6.2 )
  4. Applied queue for notification summary email. Daily emails will be added to queue before sending to members to make sure that hosting email sending limitation per day does not reach if you have a lot of members.
  5. Multi language ability for membership package. You can translate package compare table to other languages.
  6. Sign up process improvement when site is at “approve only” mode and “subscription” is enabled.

If site is at ‘approved only’ mode and if member selected free package to sign up -> free package will be auto assigned to member. Account will be active once it’s approved by admin.

 If site is at ‘approved only’ mode and If member selected paid package to sign up-> System will save the selected package, once account is approved -> member can login but system will auto redirect user to payment gateway selection page for payment.

  1. Editable Profile Pop-up: add new setting in admincp for admin to choose which info ex gender, DOB…will appear in profile popup.
  2. Member is confused about the “username” field in edit profile. We added “Full profile url” info ex “https://travel.moosocial.com/~mark” under “username” field in “edit profile” page to let user know that this field is for profile address (not for login).
  3. Added show/hide, required/not required setting for “about me”, ”username” and “timezone” field in to global setting. Admin can configure to show/hide/required/not require at sign up form.
  4. Admins and super admins shouldn’t be allowed to login as other admins
  5. Improved loading speed of photo “lightbox”. It loads much faster on web and mobi now.
  6. Email or notification/push notification will send to member if he has not read a message from another member at a specific period. If you installed chat, this feature only works if you do not integrate chat with internal message.
  7. Inserted Emoji Chooser icon at “what’s new” and “comment box” for web version.
  8. Added “search by user role” field into user manager. You can filter members by user role now
  9. Removed version field from “Global Settings” page as it’s confused to be there.
  10. Add “invite friends” into people page.
  11. Friendly URL Translit is added :
