Enhancements & Updates

  • Security Update: eWeb now supports the Google reCAPTCHA functionality which protects the eWeb site from fraudulent activities, spam, and abuse. It is a fraud detection service that stops bots and other automated attacks while approving valid users. This implementation allows the associations to set up and use reCAPTCHA versions (V2 or V3) for their eWeb site based on the association’s needs. Once the functionality is enabled, the reCAPTCHA widget or reCAPTCHA logo will appear on the following eWeb pages: eWeb Login form, Request for Email validation form, Request for New Visitor Account form, Forgot Password form, and Add a Donation form. For information on enabling and using the reCAPTCHA functionality, refer to the Enabling reCAPTCHA Functionality topic.

  • JSON over xWeb API method collections have been added in NetForum xWeb to offer an alternative to the SOAP-XML methods. JSON over xWeb methods are more compact and user-friendly in comparison with SOAP-XML. POSTMAN is the recommended testing tool for REST API endpoint testing. For information on the setup and usage of the JSON over xWeb, refer to the JSON Over xWeb Overview topic.

  • A Stop auto renew to installment link has been added to the Membership profile >Edit profile menu. The Stop auto renew to installment link will only be available to Membership profiles set for auto renewal with installment billing or installment payments.

    If a member is currently on installments and you want to renew them to a complete pay package, simply edit the membership and click the stop auto renewing to installment link.

    Once the installment details are cleared (by clicking the Stop auto renew to installment link from the membership profile), any future renewal created by the renewal task will create a proforma or terms invoice without a related installment or installment payment order.

    Additionally, an ‘Auto renew to installment’ label will now be displayed on the profile of any membership set to auto renew with installment billing or installment payments.
