webNetwork 2.0 Preview (Part 7 of 10): Free Trial Periods

by Alexey · 1 comment



For those of you who are charging for the site (or parts of it), we’ve had a feature to allow a trial period being requested many times.

In version 2.0, you’ll be able to set how many days you’d like to offer the trial period for, and associate a trial with a specific membership level that you’ve already defined. This is a great feature to allow your members to test drive your site, and convert them to paying members afterwards!

webNetwork 2.0 Preview (Part 6 of 10): Videos Section Improvements

by Alexey · 5 comments



We thought that the Videos Home page looked a little dated, and didn’t offer enough user interaction, so our developers threw in a nice fresh look, along with 4 categories of videos that your members can quickly browse. The Videos Home page now lets members view Featured, Most Recent, Most Viewed, and Top Rated videos with the click of a button!

webNetwork 2.0 Preview (Part 5 of 10): Groups Improvements

by Alexey · 2 comments



For this new version of webNetwork, we’ve totally revamped the Groups sections. In 1.0, groups could only have photos uploaded. We’ve expanded this to include music, videos, events, comments and themes.

  • Music uploads allow members to upload a music clip, and embed it into the group page.
  • Video uploads allow the same functionality as the videos, with our new Flash player embedded as well.
  • Group events allow the moderator to alert members of new group related events about to happen.
  • Comments allow members to post comments to the group, just like they do now within profiles.
  • Groups can also have their own custom themes, just like members can have custom profiles.

This should make the Groups section a much more attractive part of your site that your members will love!
