Release Notes – 2022.12.01

December 1, 2022

Highlights

  • Flex Content Updates
    We’ve still been busy adding and updating content blocks and default content. In particular, we’ve added intelligent new featured location content blocks that automatically update when featured locations are changed. 
  • Registration Settings Updates
    We’re in the process of making updates and enhancements to registration settings, and the first batch of changes are included in this release. Registration settings for miscellaneous pages and featured locations will now be more prominently visible in their respective editing interfaces, now include the ability to customize the benefits text in the sidebar, and have now also have site wide default values that can be configured and inherited from. Important note: These new settings have fairly aggressive defaults for new accounts, so expect to see a lot more registration popups on testdrives.
  • MLS Compliance Updates
    Several small changes were made to assist with MLS compliance issues. Updates were made to the display of attribution contact data on legacy templates, and MLS logos will now be displayed when an account is still in a state where it’s showing sample data.

  • Featured Locations Flex Context
    There’s a new component called FeaturedLocationContext that you can wrap around a flex block to enable macros for image source, location name, and a couple others This new concept is being used in some new default content blocks which allows the widgets to stay in sync with featured locations additions, changes, etc This is meant to be a “best of both worlds” solution where the flex content can be customized like any other generic flex block, while still being tied to a featured location and inheriting certain stuff (unlike our “Featured Location widgets” which can only be customized via a limited set of checkboxes)
