Happy New Year from the team! A brand new year and a brand new release. Our team just released an update for EasySocial to include some awesome functionality and also addressed some of the issues encountered from the previous release.
Storage Management 💾
In this update, we have added a brand new storage management feature in EasySocial to allow you to restrict storage size of users via the ACL in EasySocial. Along with that, the new storage management functionality also provides a nice indicator to inform the user when their storage is almost full.
To benefit from this, you could utilize PayPlans to allow users to upgrade their storage size. Think of this as a similar way of how your web hosting / server hosting company bills you when you want to upgrade your storage size.
Apart from the storage management, we have also added some enhancements in EasySocial and implemented several fixes to address issues from its prior release:
- 🆕 You can now set disallowed names for full name custom field that works similarly to disabled usernames under the username field
