Listing of pages within a folder

If more than one page is stored in a folder, then these pages are listed so that the site visitor can choosen which page to view. The listing always showed the page title, summary and main picture (if applicable) for each article. This is still the default, but churches can now change this to just list the title of each page.

To change the option go to WEB PAGES > PAGE OPTIONS. The option set in page options will be used for every folder on your website, although individual folders can override this setting by going to the OPTIONS tab within a given folder.

Links to other web pages in the same folder

When viewing a page within a folder, any other pages for that folder are listed in the right hand box. This is still the default setting, but churches can now turn this box off.  To change the options go to WEB PAGES > PAGE OPTIONS. The option set in page options will be used for every folder on your website, although individual folders can override this setting by going to the OPTIONS tab within a given folder.

Member Search

For larger churches using Church Edit, there is now an easier way for your members to find other members in the church. A search engine has been added to the member profiles so members can easily find other members in the congregation.

This search can be by name or it can be using the profile fields that you have setup: your church can create up to 10 profile fields that each member can have on their profile. Examples could be:

  • web address
  • occupation
  • interests

To enable the member search go to MEMBER > MEMBER OPTIONS and turn on member search.

The profile fields have also been updated so that each individual field has the following options:

  • fields cannot be edited by individual members (this information can only be edited by administrators in Global Office)
  • an email notification is sent to the church office when a member updates their profile

Change of email notification

When a member changes their email address on the site, it is now possible to get a notification so that your church office can then update their records. To enable this go to MEMBER > MEMBER OPTIONS.
