Internet Calendar Scheduling (ICS) file support for Events
With the option to download events as ICS files, you can now download and add community events with a calendar of your choice. This file download includes upcoming events only.
Note: To use this feature you must upgrade Events to version 1.1. Go to Admin > Studio > Events and select Events 1.1 version.
You now have the option to download ICS files
- for an event
- for all the upcoming events in an Events node from the Options menu:
- from the email notifications you receive for updates to events you are subscribed to:
New permission to hide or unhide videos in video gallery
We've introduced the Hide or unhide own videos permission to hide or unhide videos in your video gallery from other members as and when you upload them. You can find this permission under Admin > Users > Videos.
Members with this permission can hide or unhide the video in their video gallery from other members while uploading a video directly to their video gallery or a post as shown below.
If the Hide in video gallery option is selected, other members can view the video only in the posts it is inserted in and cannot view it in the video gallery. However, Admins, moderators and members with the "Approve Reject, or Recall videos" permission can view all videos, both hidden and public, in the video gallery.
If this option is not selected, all members can view the video from that member's video gallery.
The option to Hide in video gallery is not available to members who do not have the Hide or unhide own videos permission. By default, the videos are hidden.
Note:
- All members can view videos that are public.
- If you want to hide all the existing videos in your community from the video gallery, contact the support team. Please note that this request marks all the existing videos as hidden. Once all videos are hidden, we cannot roll back to the previous state. For example, if 20 videos were public and 30 hidden, and we hide all videos, we cannot roll back to the state with 20 public and 30 hidden videos. You can manually make the required videos public.

Sorted list of Badge Images
We have made changes to the order in which the list of filenames for the badge images listed under the Admin>Users>Badges>Create>Badge Image appears. They now appear in alphabetical order, with numbers and special characters taking precedence.
Feature Logs
With this release, we introduce the Feature Logs framework that can be used to generate feature specific logs in components and endpoints to help developers and administrators monitor and debug during Community customisation.
Create a ticket with Khoros Support to enable Feature Logging in your community. After Support has enabled the feature, you can generate feature logs in the Community in Community Admin. Logs are accessible through Toolbox.
Learn more about Feature Logging in the Developer Documentation Portal.
API Changes
We've added two new methods to the utils FreeMarker context object to support our Feature Logs
You Found It. We Fixed It.
- We've fixed the issue where members other than Admins and moderators could edit the SEO fields while editing posts.
To achieve this, you must:
- Turn off the Allow canonical URL for Idea posts to be overridden settings (under Community Admin > Discussion Styles >Ideas) to restrict members other than Admins and Moderators from editing SEO fields.
- By default, set the Manage ideas and comments permission (under Community Admin > Users >Ideas) to Deny for all users other than Admins and Moderators. This restricts edits to the SEO fields for other members.
- We have fixed the issue where the date and time of blogs display the revised date. Now, when you edit and publish a blog, the post time doesn't change.
- We've fixed the issue where there was no option to order TKBs within GroupHubs manually. Manual ordering for TKB articles is now available at the TKB sub-node level for GroupHubs.
- We have fixed the issue where there were discrepancies in the total number of community users returned by API v2.
