Release 2.18.0
Features
Recommended videos in Media Related Algorithm
The group of recommended videos has been added as an option in Media Related Algorithm. The video groups can now be re-ordered.
Video locking
This feature allows locking a certain video for unregistered users. Through the VP Apps admin, the user can set the time after which the video will be locked, and if a user is not logged in or registered, they will see a message prompting them to log in, in order to continue watching the video.
‘New’ sticker on videos
All the videos that have been published no earlier than 24 hours, will have a “New” sticker on the video card. The sticker will appear statically, based on the publication date of the video.
Player component on homepage
This feature adds support for the player component on the homepage.
Highlighting liking and disliking comments in media page
In the styling section of the comments component, the default and active colors can be configured for each icon. This means that when a like or dislike icon is clicked, its active color will be applied.
Audience management in chat
Through the VP Apps admin, the access of the audience to the chat can be limited by banning them from the chat. In this case, they will not be able to interact with the chat unless they are unblocked.
Messages management in chat
Messages in chat can be deleted instantly through the VP Apps admin. The deleted messages will be removed from the Live chat in real time.
Vertical player
Imported vertical players in VP Apps are now supported on the client side.
Players and ad schedule management
