Updates This Week (March 1 - 8)

Mobile App Registration & Onboarding

Major improvements to the mobile registration flow for new users and churches:

• Passwordless registration — no password required for church sign-up
• New member registration now requires admin approval before accessing the app
• Admin gets notified of every new member registration
• Church search by name or city during sign-up
• Verification code returned in local dev for easier testing
• Onboarding API endpoints — add people, list people, browse groups, CSV import, and mark onboarding complete

Website Builder

Several fixes and new features for the church website engine:

• Configurable "Useful Links" in footer — admins can now set custom footer links with label + URL through the website settings, falling back to navigation links if none are set
• Fixed CTA button URLs — hero call-to-action buttons now resolve through the preset system instead of pointing to a hardcoded /visit page
• Fixed About page sections — content headings and section headings now render correctly
• Fixed event links — homepage event section now links to actual event URLs
• Larger logo in navbar and footer for better visibility
• Bolder church name in footer

Calendar & Events

• Upcoming events on the calendar page now show events within 30 days (previously 7 days), so further-out events are no longer hidden

Sermons

• New import command for migrating sermons from legacy SQLite databases (used for Corner Brook church migration — 79 sermons, 9 series, 5 speakers)
• Fixed MP3 URL handling so external storage URLs pass through correctly

New Church Setup

• New churches now automatically get default website configuration on creation
