Hello Folks,
Today we release Responder, a plan with features built for teams that need to seamlessly work together to manage large data sets and respond to urgent issues. Responder is now a paid upgrade for all Ushahidi.com deployments and available to Ushahidi open source deployments at no cost.
New features in this release include:-
Bulk Data Import: It is now possible to perform bulk data imports through the client web interface in CSV format.
Custom User Roles: Create custom user roles to further extend the default set of roles. Each role has permissions which allow the customisation of rights and responsibilities for users. Administrators can create roles and assign permissions to that role.
Private Deployments: You can now make your entire deployment private, allowing only registered users to see posts in your deployment.
We also fixed a couple of bugs such as:-
Updated the Vagrant configuration to enable PHP imap extension
Fixed issue with detecting phinx install
Fixed issue completing steps when certain field types were set as required
Fixed rendering and saving of checkboxes fields when added to a post type
Improvements have been made to
The Web interface, particularly for managing post types and editing posts.
Code handling posts, which has been refactored
Test coverage for the client’s code, which has been increased by ~20%
Stability of the client codebase
Cost
Responder features are available to Ushahidi Open source deployments at no cost. Responder is also now available to Ushahidi.com deployments for $499 per month, which includes the added capacity to store 5,000 posts and create unlimited custom Post Types.
You can sign up or upgrade your existing open source deployment today.
