May 1st 2006 |
Version 4.1 Released
New Features:
- Access Control for WhosOn Clients.
You can now specify access rights for WhosOn Clients. This is done via
the Site Group settings. You can control what options the client can see
and if they can edit site properties. See the new 'Client Access' tab on
the site group properties form. Requires both the latest server &
client. See:
http://www.whoson.com/help/Site_Groups.htm- Links sent to the
Chat Client now automatically open without the need for the visitor to
click the link.
- Chat sessions are now closed immediately even if a visitor just closes
their browser instead of clicking the Close button.
- Updated AJAX components in chat client results in faster load time.
- Added 'Manual Links' tab to site properties allowing easy creation of
manual chat links.
- Added 'Auto Email Chat Transcripts' option to site properties. WhosOn
can now automatically send an email to the site admin of all chat
transcripts.
- If a WhosOn client closes a chat session with a visitor the 'waiting
timer' is no longer incremented when the chat session is saved to the
database. The waiting time reflects only the initial wait before the
first operator answers.

Custom Invites!
We have added custom text based invites. You can now send a
visitor a custom message that will appear on their browser as a moving
text box. The visitor can click the box to start a chat session. You can
customise the text border graphic. You must update both the server and
any remote clients. No code changes are required for the embedded code.
Existing graphic invites and click fraud warnings can be sent as normal.
To Send a text invite, right-click a current visitor in the WhosOn
Client and select 'Send Text Invite'. Then enter your message and click
send. WhosOn will then create a graphic file by combining the text and
the invite border and serve this up to the visitor via the WhosOn
Gateway.
- Fixed firefox issue with the chat window not showing the input box
correctly. |
| 4.1.285 |

folder to edit the strings. |

Added filter option to Current Visitors view on the WhosOn Client. You
can now apply a filter to your current visitors (eg, All new visitors
from United Kingdom with 'widgets' in keywords). This is useful on busy
sites. The filter condition is sent to the WhosOn server which then
filters the current visitor list before sending it to the client. Each
client can have its own filter condition for each monitored site. WhosOn
still tracks visitors as normal - the filter only affects what is
displayed in the client current visitors view. Note: Both the WhosOn
server and any WhosOn Clients need updating. |

June 29th |
If you use the WhosOn Gateway to track visitors (via page tagging or server-side
code) then visitor sessions can now timeout when the visitor closes their browser,
or leaves your site to go elsewhere. Previously WhosOn ended a visitor session after
a period of inactivity. WhosOn does this by watching for invite 'poll' requests
from the visitors browser. When it stops receiving poll requests it assumes the
visitor has gone and ends the session. See the 'Assume Visitor Has Left The Site
If Polling Stops' option on the Site Properties - Gateway tab.
The existing inactivity timeout will still be used for visitors that do not have
javascript enabled or on pages where the tracking code is not embedded. |
|
4.3.390 |
July 5th |
The WhosOn Client now shows a different icon next to visitors where javascript polling
is active.

customers. |
