In many ways the UNA Permissions module provides the governance for your UNA website. The Permissions determine what a user can see and what they can do within your site. Within UNA the Permissions are fully customisable, you can create your own user levels, and establish what they can do and see within your site.
Modify existing user levels.
Determine the available actions for each user level.
Set the number of actions available within a defined period of time, for each user level.
Set what menus are visible based on user level.
-
Define what content is visible based on user levels.
Permissions for an entire page
Permissions for each block of content on each page.

The last days I translated UNA from english to german language.
Not so easy as I thought before... a lot of words and modules with xml-Files to change.
I use as help google translator in excel, but every word must controlled. And also the internal keys. Some are translated... not so good.
To test every changed version I need to install completely the language module new.
Not so easy over UNA Apps but I found the key with my language module in the table sys_modules.
I delete the key. And now I can install the Language over UNA App completely new.
It's a little trick.
In studio the image of my module is very small. I don't know why at the moment.
Best regards,

When using the "Mass Mailer" app I keep receiving this error: Body can't be empty and {unsubscribe url} marker must be present. Does anyone know how to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

Things might have seemed a little quiet around here on UNA.IO in recent months, not a lot of new content, nor releases, you could easily think that there hasn’t been much going on. 😴
You might be wrong...😉
We rarely rest at UNA - we are always got something going on. 🤓🔥⛏💪🏽
Since the release on UNA 9.0 the UNA Team have been very busy working on a number of large custom implementations based on UNA Platform. Working closely with clients who have specific needs for their sites - exploring and expanding the scope and capability of UNA.
As always many of these developments will filter down into the UNA core in the coming releases, ultimately evolving the capabilities of UNA benefit all users.
UNA Team might have been slow on releases (not for long, April is going to be HUGE, see below for some sneak peeks) but the community has been picking up the slack.
New Themes
There are some great new themes in the UNA Market thanks to AQB Soft, UNA Themes, UNA French 🆔 & OW Visuals
Take a peek in the UNA Market for the new themes available here.
Each theme offers the option of a spiffy new look for your UNA site, installing a fresh style mix into your UNA site is as simple as changing your T-Shirt. In the case of AQB Soft there is a whole new template to explore, with 'OnMouseOver' submenus available for Desktop view.
JOT Messenger Update
UNA JOT Messenger now with email notifications.
Last week Alexey quietly dropped an awaited update of the Jot Messenger.
Now users may choose how to receive notification (by site, email or push) and also how often, limiting the number of notifications if the chat becomes busy.
At this point it is also probably important to differentiate between the React JOT and the UNA JOT - as they will ultimately become different solutions. We will probably transfer the JOT moniker to the React JOT and the UNA JOT will become UNA Messenger.
SNEAK PEEKS...
Both Alex T⚜️ and Andrew Boon have been working on not so secret projects over the last couple of months - Alex on the greatly anticipated UNA Native Apps and Andrew on the UNA Dolphin solution.
Each project adds another cool tool in the toolkit for UNA Community Developers. Here is a sneak peek of the Dolphin Solution and the UNA Native App...
Sneak Preview of the UNA Dolphin Solution - your preconfigured, out of the box, Social Community Solution - coming soon to an UNA Cloud near you.
UNA Apps are nearly here...
I converted my license from Dolphin to UNA, so I have the Power Plan which Power Plan includes the following 27 APPS that you would normally pay for. Where do I find the instructions for installing "Video" module on my hosting account otherwise I have to paid $100/yr. Thank you in advance for your help.
Has UNA considered offering a free trial period on the paid apps so that customers can see how they function and if the app meets their needs? I don't want to spend a $100 on an app that doesn't function like I need it to function. Having a free trial period to allow us to test ride an app and could produce more sales and more reviews on apps too. I can't even make a decision based on the reviews because there are NONE.

What an amazing year it has been! We released the UNA 9 Final and reached 3,000 members mark here at UNA.IO. The community is energised, development is active and we are growing faster and faster...
Reaching 1 Million members is still a long-shot proposition, of course, but we are clearly on the right track. Can't wait to see what's going to happen in 2019. 😃
2018 Reflections
Not everything is smooth and mellow. As a bootstrapped company we have to always maintain profitability and it often means that we must prioritise work with paying clients (especially X-level service plans) over everything else. If we were a VC-backed/funded we would surely be able to progress development at a much faster pace. On the other hand exprnal funding often comes with "strings attached", which may call for rather unwelcome compromises. So, it's an open question for us still, at least until we become comfortably profitable without custom projects or unless we get financial backing from someone fully aligned with our values and principles.
Anyhow, we continue development and work on a number of custom projects; Dolphin 7 is finally getting an update; native mobile apps development is re-activated and JOT is shaping up.
The contribution from UNA.IO community members in 2018 has been mindblowing! We had elaborate test reports, feature suggestions, and most importantly - members helping each other, sharing how-to's, tips and instructions. This is the main force that motivates us day by day. Thank you so much! This brings me to the next point...
3000 Premium Members
Here at UNA.IO we have Standard and Premium memberships activated now. Standard members can not post links, create Posts, Polls, Groups, Products and initiate Conversations. Standard can only create Updates, Discussions and post Comments.
Premium members can create all types of content and share links. Once can become a Premium member by buying a $12/year subscription or simply by being an active and diligent member (we manually upgrade such profiles for free). The main purpose of these levels is to suppress SPAM and reduce noise from "test" posts. In the future, we plan to add more perks for being a Premium member, including early feature previews, periodic specials, Market discounts and new actions across the site.
Now, in the spirit of Chrismas, Solstice, Hanukkah, New Year, and whatever else rocks your boat, we have just upgraded all current UNA.IO members to a lifetime free Premium membership level. 🎉🎊🎈🎁🍾
So, as a Premium member, you can do more here now. We'll weed out spammers pronto if they show up, but hopefully, everyone would just use the new privileges for the mutual benefit.
2019...
... is yet to come, so I'll post about the plans in a few days. We typically don't stop working during holidays (ok, maybe we slow down for a day or two around NYE), so keep your feedback coming!
