Happy New Year! We’ve been busy over the past few weeks and we’ve just released some major updates to Tripline. Here’s the breakdown of new features and bug fixes:
Tripline on Facebook
Our long awaited Facebook app is live! Now you can do everything you can do on Tripline right inside Facebook and also easily see where your friends have traveled. So, check it out and get your friends to sign up: http://apps.facebook.com/tripline
Adding People To Trips
You can now add your Facebook friends to your trips or invite people by email in the [+] add friends dialog on the trip page. When they sign up or connect to Tripline, they’ll have an invitation waiting for them in their inbox so they can join the trip in a single step.
One thing to note is that due to Facebook limitations, when you add Facebook friends, there’s a second step to notify them in Facebook. We did our best to make the process as simple as possible, but you will have to enter their names twice. Hopefully Facebook will enable more streamlined notification mechanisms soon so we can eliminate the two-step process.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed date sorting functionality in Editor
- Fixed a bug that was preventing more than 10 people from being added to a trip
- Eliminated an issue that was causing trips to break when text with invisible special characters was pasted into waypoint descriptions
- Fixed a bug that was preventing links with apostrophes from opening correctly on the trip page
I hope you guys enjoy the Facebook App, and stay tuned for some more exciting updates coming soon. As always, if you have any questions or comments, contact us here.
