Profile Videos, RSVP and Multi-photo Uploads

November 30, 2008 21:54 by Jonathan Awotwi

We've added a few new features that should go a long way in improving your event promotion experiences on the Orb. As usual, all of these new add-ons have come directly from many of you who currently promote your events on the Orb.

Profile Videos
Previously, the only way you could upload your event videos to EventOrb was if you created an event first. Obviously, this can be a bit of an obstruction sometimes when you just want to upload a video without having to create an event for it. We have saved you the extra step of having to create an event before uploading videos, by allowing you to upload videos directly to your profile. 
 
What makes this even better is that, not only do you get to upload your videos with ease, but you can easily choose to assign your video to an event later on if you like. Videos can now be moved from your profile to an event, from an event to your profile or quite simply, from one event to another event.

RSVP
We gave our RSVP system a makeover to make it more useful to you. Previously visitors to your event page could just 'tag' an event to indicate whether they were going or not going. We have changed this system of tagging an event to RSVPing the event instead. Now, alongside indicating whether they are going or not, visitors can also leave a comment as well. To make this even cooler, once visitors RSVP your event, you get an email notification that lets you know about it. 
 
Best of all, we've added a spanking brand new set of tabs to all your event pages. The first tab shows the comments and Event GPA ratings that visitors have left for your event and the second tab shows who has RSVPd your events and the comments they have left. Of course, you can quite simply set your event to private to make these visible to only those whom you choose to give access to.

Multi-Photo Upload
We were recently subjected to intensive finger wagging and eyebrow raising from a few of you, expressing your disapproval of the fact that you had to upload your photos one by one for your event. We understand that this could use some huge improvements. We hope to add an ActiveX control in the future that allows you to select multiple photos you want to upload from your hard drive and upload them in one big batch. 
 
For now, we've added three more fields to allow you to upload four photos at a time for your events. Hopefully that improves things enough until we deliver an ActiveX solution to issue of multiple photo uploads.

Well, that's about it for now folks. Even as you read this our developers are working arduously on the next set of feature enhancements. Hope you enjoy the new features.

As always, happy promoting!
