Hello 2019! May this year be an amazing one for the P4 project, at least as much as 2018 was.

So, P4 team is back! Of course, how else if not with a new release to continue improve the most wonderful platform which is P4? Curious to find out what we prepared while you were away enjoying Christmas carols and mulled wine? Well, read on, we have quite some surprises…

Release v1.38 (09/01/2019)

New blocks ?

  • PLANET-2818 – Social block (Ex named: Video Block): Expand functionality and change the name
    • This is the old Video block, improved and upgraded. Now it’s easier for the editors to embed social media content on the site, such as Twitter posts or Facebook timelines and events. Read more on how the new block is working and what type of content is supporting here.
  • PLANET-3014 Block: develop Counter / Statistics block
    • We know that some web-editors would like to be able to add a global counter to campaigns pages so that supporters can see how many signatures are collected at a specific time worldwide. For the time being, the counter has to be updated manually, but it will be integrated with Engaging Networks in the future. Keep an eye on it! Here are more details.
