One of the network cards in the primary web server went bad or if not bad, got funky. This has been resolved and the system was back online about 11pm on Sunday (Pacific Time Zone).

AgentHR.com is our first customization customer. See the results.

5/16/2008 - POP3 Mail Update


The mail module now displays how many messages are in each folder along with (what was previously there) the unread mail count. Just because you have read all of your mail in any particular folder doesn't mean you have taken action on that mail yet, this feature will help alert you to where you have the most mail and remind you that you have messages in the folder.

While we are on the subject of email, I never posted some new mail features from a few months back:

  • When viewing a message you can see a list of other messages that sender sent you (at the end of the message)
  • There is now a simple "spam keyword" mail filtering system. I find I get a number of spams with the same keywords that are easy to filter on. By default you are setup with the most common ones but you can add more under Mail > Options
  • You can now add a custom signature (html or text) in Mail > Options
  • You can set how many emails you want to display in a folder on each page in Mail > Options
  • There is also an "Attachment List" so you can see every attachment all on one page. This will save you from digging through emails to have to find your attachments.
  • 5/1/2008 - Custom login html update


    As you know, there is login code you can put on your website so your users can login to your OfficeZilla account from your site. This code is available from the Admin page, bottom right hand side under "Custom Login Form Code". The code has now been updated so that the alignment of the fields will stay in place even if your site is forcing the alignment to (frankly) look crazy. So if you have the login form on your site and it doesn't look nice, copy and paste this new one over your old one.

    4/30/2008 - Minor Updates


    The shortcuts feature is now optional. Go to Admin > Configuration > Modules to turn it on. Shortcuts allow your users to make a page of quick links to different information in your groupware. While I think everyone would want that functionality (I am always right! right?) it is now optional!.

    The calendar print feature was only printing the current day rather then the day you were on (say you went a day or month ahead), it was meant to print any day, now it does.

    4/17/2008 - Mail Issues with IMAP


    There are issues with the OfficeZilla IMAP implementation in the Mail module so our IMAP functionality is offline until further notice. You can still use your POP3 accounts, just not IMAP accounts.

    4/17/2008 - Feature Update


    In the Project Manager on the project display page it now shows what group each project is in and you can now sort on the columns. Each project task now shows what project it is in (so you don't lose track of where you are at).

    4/7/2008 - New Feature


    There is a now a "Secure Logout" link that you can use when using a public computer that will delete out your session information more thoroughly then the regular logout link.

    3/15/2008 - Feature Update


    You can now see messages you have sent using the Private Messages module. Click on Private Messages on the main navigation then click on Sent Messages. If you don't have Private Messages turned on you can turn it on from Admin > Configuration > Modules.

    3/1/2008 - New Feature


    You can now customize the module names on the main navigational menu. Go to Admin > Configuration then click on Modules. Type in your own names then log out and log back in. You will see the updates. For example you might want to rename Files to Company Documents or Directory to Company Directory. With this feature you can further personalize how your OfficeZilla looks to your users.

    2/28/2008 - New Feature


    You can now broadcast private messages to groups or to all users at once. This is similar to the broadcast email feature except these are internal messages that go to the new Private Messages module instead of out to email. Only administrators can broadcast private messages, to find it go to Admin then click on "Send Private Messages"

    2/25/2008 - Misc. Updates Gone Awry


    Issues with files, forums, calendars, pop mail have been resolved after a code update broke things. Everything is now back in working order.

    2/23/2008 - New Servers and Server Location


    In order to accommodate future growth we have purchased a number of new servers and are hosting them at a new hosting facility. This has multiplied the amount of bandwidth the system has and added redundancy to the system that now totals 3 web servers, 2 database servers, and 2 Network Attached Storage Devices. As usual there are no restrictions on files, users, or groups and the system is still 5 years ad free.

    2/20/2008 - New Features 'Directory' and 'Private Messages'


    Directory: The Directory is a new module that you can select from Admin > Configuration. The Directory feature is a "company" or "organization" directory. It displays a list of those in your office. Some of you may have been using the contact manager for the same functionality. A user can choose not to be displayed in the directory, they just click on Options then uncheck the Directory checkbox.

    Private Messaging: The new Private Message feature allows users to send each other a message that displays in the Private Message module, on the homepage, and in the What's New section. A Private Message icon is next to each user in the Directory module. Users can private message each other from there. Users can turn off the directory private message icon next to there name by clicking on Options then unlick Private Messaging.
