We would like to have a thought for our partner universities on the East Coast who may have been hit by hurricane Sandy early this week. We hope that everything soon comes back to normal if not already.
On our end we made additional improvements to the CampusGroups platform this week:1) New Manage Menu:A few bug fixes this week:
1) We made sure that pending members are not able to access "Members only" web pages and cannot RSVP to "Members only" events before they get validated by an officer of the group.
2) Users can now properly browse photos on IE9 with CG's photoslider.
3) IE fix, some content were carried across Web sites when going from one group Web site to another. This issue was due to IE ajax caching.
4) If a student does not have a month of graduation set and the group membership end date is set to "Ends at graduation" the month value will be set to school's Graduation Month (this is a school wide setting).
5) Deleted events will not appear in the Approve Events section anymore.
6) Uploading files to forms when not logged on is now possible.
7) Quick fix in the Group Activity section, links to photos are now linking properly again.
8) API bug fix on the CreateUpdateMember method.
9) Uploading documents with a " ' " in the name of the file is now working fine again.
Upcoming changes (next week):
- Removal of the mini search bar in the Photos/Docs section. Photos and documents are now searchable via the main Search Bar, just like People, Events, Emails, etc.
- API: we are creating a new documentation page available to all school administrators.
- Implementation of a new Manage Menu design* with cleaner and faster navigation, which you can preview right here.
*Subject to change.
- First release sent on October 10th, 2012.
- List of schools in the Single Sign-On dropdown has been re-ordered and cleaned up.
This design update was released this week for a more uniform look and feel.

Though a natural synergy this initiative is the first of its kind and a great collaboration between CampusGroups and the Kellogg School of Management.
Today anyone visiting the school will get to see all Kellogg's events as created and updated in CampusGroups on each of the school's flatscreens. No more info emailing for rooms or dates changes, etc. It is now all updated in real-time directly from CampusGroups!
