Recordit gets a few bonus features

Steve — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 07:46:24 +0000

We pushed up some new features for Recordit. First, we added several new configurable options that can now be set in your web form. These include:

recordit.form_id
recordit.response.url
recordit.response.page
recordit.response.url.failed
recordit.response.page.failed
recordit.source_id
recordit.track_id
recordit.list
recordit.submission_id
recordit.email_field
recordit.constant_contact.account
recordit.constant_contact.list

We also added the ability to insert download links for uploaded files into response emails and pages. With this feature you can easily use Recordit to send and share large files with colleagues, clients and friends.

Downloads are served directly from Amazon’s S3 service and you can control how long links are active (choose from 1hr to 1day, 1 month etc.)

here is a screen shot of a response email using the download link tag:

upgraded rich text editor

Steve — Wed, 21 May 2008 18:47:29 +0000

Just wanted to let everyone know that we upgraded our WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) rich text editor. We are fans of the open source FCK-editor project and use their rich text editor in Spirit and Recordit. Previously, we were using version 2.4.3 which did not play well with Safari and had some other case specific problems for some of our users.

We have upgraded the editor to the latest version 2.6.0 which does play well with Safari. We have also reconfigured how it generates HTML. It will no longer wrap text in

tags and inserts
tags instead of empty

tags for break-returns. This should help out folks that were running into problems between their CSS and the HTML made by the editor. Should make life just a little bit better.

Here is a screen shot of the editor with all its goodness

enjoy!
Steve

new recordit site and screencasts

Steve — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:31:40 +0000

We just finished up a new site for our Recordit service. The new site has more information and several new screencasts covering setup of Constant Contact, your web forms and file uploads.

We will be phasing out most of the Recordit content that is currently on PepperStation.com in favor of the new dedicated website.

check out the new site at: http://recordit.pepperstation.com

enjoy!

Great progress on the ‘who cares’ front

Steve — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 22:55:03 +0000

I pushed up some code that enables folks to get their shiny new Recordit account immediately after signing up. I realize that this doesn’t exactly equate to earth shattering news, but I was happy to get that whole automagical thing going. Of course, if you want to see just how cool and automagical the process is, you’ll have to sign up for an account

pleased with self,
Steve

Recordit 2.0 gets a few enhancements

Steve — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 19:05:22 +0000

More enhancements have made their way into Recordit. Including, a ‘group by’ reporting feature and faster exports.

I encourage anyone using a form mailer like formmail.pl with their website to check out Recordit. Using Recordit puts all of your information into a database which you can search, export and have a permanent record of your data. All to often, an email can go missing which could mean you loose out on an important customer contact.
