Enhanced connectivity between OpenForms and OpenCities
We've made the experience of using OpenForms with OpenCities a lot smoother. Users whose OpenForms permissions are synchronized from OpenCities can still access OpenForms the way they always have (through the "forms" area in the OpenCities admin). But now they can also login directly through the OpenForms login screen using their OpenCities credentials. Easy!
Additionally, we've cleaned up an error that could occur using the former method, and made sure that users that are deactivated in OpenCities are automatically deactivated in OpenForms, too.
Alert visitors who are using unsupported browsers
We've added the option to let visitors that come to your site using an unsupported browser know they might be getting a compromised experience. This optional alert will be displayed as a banner on your OpenCities site and is enabled by default. You can turn it off in site settings, and update it to give visitors as much information as they need. (Right now, it references Internet Explorer which is reaching end of life in June 2022).
