Private Contacts

When creating a contact you have the choice to use a standard contact which is visible by you and admin roles, or a private contact which only you can see. In general teams only use standard contacts and run into issue when a user accidentally creates a private contact. Because, on new setups, the private contacts will not be enabled by default. They can be enabled in the WP Admin > Settings (D.T) > Contact Preferences

Custom location fields

Create a custom location field from the Customizations (D.T) Admin section to track more locations. This enables the default location grid field. Custom locations fields with geolocating with Mapbox or Google is in the works.

General

Disciple.Tools uses notifications to let users know something happened on their records. Notifications are normally sent through the web interface and over email.

Notifications look like:

• You have been assigned contact John Doe
• @Corsac mentioned you on contact John Doe saying: “Hey @Ahmed, we met with John yesterday and gave him a bible”
• @Corsac, an update is requested on Mr O,Nubs.

Disciple.Tools is now able to send these notifications out using SMS text and WhatsApp messages! This functionality is built on and requires using the Disciple.Tools Twilio plugin.

A WhatsApp notification will look like this:

Setup

To setup your instance to send SMS and WhatsApp notifications, you need to:

• Get a Twilio account and buy a number and create a messaging service
• Setup a WhatsApp profile if you want to use WhatsApp
• Install and configure the Disciple.Tools Twilio plugin

Users will need to:

• Add their phone number to the Work Phone field in their D.T profile settings for SMS messages
• Add their WhatsApp number to the Work WhatsApp field in their D.T profile settings for WhatsApp messages
• Enable which notifications they want to receive through each messaging channel

Please see the documentation for help setting up and configuring it in Disciple.Tools.

Plugin link: https://disciple.tools/plugins/disciple-tools-storage

This new plugin builds the way for users to be able to securely upload images and files and sets up the API for developers to use.

The first step is connecting Disciple.Tools to your favorite S3 service (see instructions).
Then Disciple.Tools will be able to upload and display images and files.

We’ve started this use case:

• User avatars. You can upload your own avatar (these aren’t yet displayed in user lists)

We want to see these use cases:

• Saving Contact and Group pictures
• Using pictures in the comments section
• Using voice messages in the comments section
• and more!

Prayer campaigns v4, multiple prayer campaigns at the same time.

Have you ever wanted to have multiple prayer campaigns running at the same time? Have you ever wanted to go back to old campaigns and see the stats or access the prayer fuel?

Lets say you have a ongoing prayer campaign with a landing page running at pray4france.com. Now you want to also run a separate campaign for easter, what do you do? Before you had to set up a new Disciple.Tools instance or turn your wordpress install into a multisite and create a new subsite. Now all you need to do is create a new campaign.

You'll be able to run multiple campaigns from the same place:

• pray4france.com/ongoing <- pray4france.com pointing to this one
• pray4france.com/easter2023
• pray4france.com/easter2024

With this version you also get:

• Editing page content from the front end
• Custom fields in the sign up tool
• A campaign creator role for just managing certain campaigns
• A form for contacting the campaign admin

Pictures proving awesomeness

Edit page content directly

Custom fields

Add custom text or checkbox fields

Campaign creator role

Invite a user and give them the campaign creator role. This new user will only have access to the campaigns their are assigned to.

What's Changed

• Admins can turn and and share user magic links by @kodinkat
• Typeaheads: Sort users by last modified by @corsacca
• Wildcard character compatibility for the rest API Whitelist by @prykon

Developer Changes

• Disciple.Tools code now follows the prettier linting by @cairocoder01
• Replace some lodash functions with plain js by @CptHappyHands
• Upgrade npm pacakges by @corsacca

Details

Admins can turn and and share User Magic Links

Previously you could only manage your own User Magic Links in your profile settings:

This new feature lets admins directly send users their User Magic Links so the user does not have to log in to Disciple.Tools first. We've added a new tile to the User's record (Settings Gear > Users > click on a user). Here you can see the selected user's magic links, enable them and send them the link.

Once a User Magic link is enabled, it will also show up on the user's contact record:

Typeaheads: Sort users by last modified

This is an upgrade In the cases where you are searching for a name that matches many contacts. Now the results show the most recently modified contacts first which often will show the contact you are searching for.

Wildcard character compatibility for the rest API Whitelist

By default Disciple.Tools requires all API calls to require authentication. This security measure helps guarantee no information is leaked. Some 3rd party plugins use the rest API for their functionality. This Whitelist is a space to give those plugins permission to use the rest API. This change is the ability to specify all the endpoints that match a pattern instead of listing them out individiually. Found in the WP Admin > Settings (D.T) > Security > API Whitelist.
