List Exports

In v1.54 we brought in the CSV list export functionality from the list exports plugin. Today the others also join the list: BCC Email List, Phone List and Map List. These will help you get the emails or phone number from the contacts you are viewing or see your current list displayed on a map.

Need to transfer some fields form one D.T instance to another? What about the custom post type you created? We got you covered. Create an export file in Utilities (D.T) > Exports. Then upload it in Utilities (D.T) > Imports.

List Filters: Support Text & Communication channels

Create filters for text fields (name, etc) and for communication channel fields (phone, email, etc). You can search for:

• all the records that match a specific value for your selected field
• all the records that don't have your specific value in the selected field
• all the records that have any value in the selected field
• all the records that don't have any value set in the selected field

Performance mode

Some default D.T behaviors are nice, but can be slow on systems with a lot of contact and group records. This update introduces a setting to put D.T into "Performance Mode" which disables slow features. You'll find this setting in WP Admin > Settings (D.T) > General:

The first feature that is disabled is the counts on contact and croup list filters. Enabling performance mode skips calculating those numbers.

CSV Export on list page

See and trigger scheduled jobs

Disciple.Tools uses "Jobs" when a lot of actions need to happen. For example we want to send 300 users an email with a magic link. Since this might take a while, D.T will create 300 jobs to process and send the 300 emails. These jobs are processed in the background (using cron).

In this new page in WP Admin > Utilities (D.T) > Background Jobs you can see if there are any jobs waiting to be processed. And you can manually trigger them to be sent if you wish.

Introducing Prayer Campaigns Version 3!

What's new?

• New sign up tool
• Weekly strategy
• New Profile page
• Better re-subscribe workflow

Details

New interface and weekly sign up option

We've upgraded the interface where you sign up for prayer times and we've added the support for weekly prayer strategies. Previously you had to sign up to pray every day, or choose just certain times to pray.

Now, with the weekly strategy, one prayer fuel page is needed for the whole week and you can chose to sign up to pray once a week, for example every Monday morning at 7:15am.

These changes also open the door for other campaign strategies, like monthly prayer campaigns or a quantity of prayer goal.

Account Page and Extending a Commitment

Once you've signed up to pray you can manage your prayer times on your "Account" page. This page includes the new sign up interface, an upgraded calendar, a new section to manage your daily and weekly prayer commitments and more account settings. You'll come here to manage notifications, confirm that you are still actively praying with the campaign, to sign up for more prayer times or to change existing prayer commitments.

Translation and Prayer Campaigns v4

We could use YOUR help translating the new interface! See https://pray4movement.org/docs/translation/

Look ahead: More features coming soon in v4! The main one being the ability to run multiple campaigns and landing pages at the same time.

Please help support ongoing development and work on v4: https://give.pray4movement.org/campaigns
