V212 | Release Notes - May 2025

Ever since Accessibility Desk / Digitaal Toegankelijk performed a complete technical audit of the Peppered platform, we have steadily been working on all parts of the platform to make it Accessible for every Visitor. With this release your website is more accessible than ever before! We can tick off the following improvements on our Accessibility to do list:

Like many of our users, De Warande is cleaning up old files in their file browser, but struggled to find an efficient way to do it. They requested the addition of an upload date for each file, we thought this was a great idea! Now they can easily see when an image was uploaded and delete any old files they no longer need, keeping the file browser neat and clear.

Great news for all our Dutch venues with integrated ticketing: the Vriendenloterij VIP card member discount has completed the Pilot phase and will be available soon for all Ticketing systems. During the pilot we launched the VIP card validation feature that triggers the discount and worked with Itix and Ticketmatic for administration of VIP card numbers and validation. The Ovatic integration is in the planning stage and will be released soon.

In this release, we’ve improved error handling for the Itix setup to ensure a smoother experience for VIP Card holders. The system now checks across multiple orders to make sure each visitor can purchase a maximum of two discounted tickets per event. If that limit is reached, a clear message will let them know. Vriendenloterij has generously sponsored all developments.

For the Honolulu Museum of Art and other users of our Courses feature, a new label is available for Courses that are not yet open for enrollment. An inactive label will show, with a text you can edit yourself.

When enrollment is disabled, the new Template text cursusInschrijvenButtonDisabled is used.

For Leeds Museums & Galleries and Leeds Film, both using the same Tessitura environment, we added the option to filter events by Keyword in the Event updater. This ensures Productions are only imported to the correct website, saving valuable time for the Leeds Team.

To ensure consistency in your website navigation, the new Stories filter default layout will feature buttons to select Story types, similar to our event genre filter (as seen here at De Doelen). This layout is optimised for mobile, and will replace the previous “menu bar with arrow” for all new websites.

If you are using the old layout, you can easily switch to the new layout by creating in a support ticket. We will check if all colours are properly set for use in the new filter.

You can continue using the old filter layout if you prefer, we’ll keep supporting it for now. However, please note that we won’t be adding any new features to it. The layout will eventually be phased out, and we will make sure to communicate this to you in advance.
