Modernized file serving site
complete
Wes Cossick
As part of our ongoing effort to release our next gen front ends, we’ll be modernizing how protected files (e.g., documents, attachments, etc.) are served to authenticated users. This functionality is currently built into the community websites front end, which is still powered by our older technologies. We’ll be separating this functionality off from the community websites front end, so that it’s powered by its own modernized code. This will narrow the scope of the community websites front end, making it easier to modernize when the time comes.
This post will be used to keep track of this project’s progress.

This functionality has been released and fully incorporated into our modernized front ends.

We’ve made additional progress on this feature, with our modernized front ends leveraging the new file serving site for an array of additional file types, like event attachments, documents, and recipient letter previews.

What is the purpose of the voting system? This feature has only four votes, yet it is marked as in progress.
There are many security bugs that require your immediate attention, for instance:
Approved members can add anyone they want, and the admins have no control over this. Additionally, members can change their own addresses, allowing members added by others to alter their addresses without admin approval. This means that admins approve members based on the provided information, but members can change it afterward. It is a total mess.

Jose Garcia: Please see our response on the bug report you posted about that concern here: https://feedback.hoa-express.com/bug-reports/p/security-bug-approved-members-can-add-new-members-without-admin-approval.
In regards to this feature request, we do consider how many votes a post has when prioritizing what to develop. However, there are several other factors we take into account, too. That includes the difficulty or complexity of the request, how the request will impact the usage of our product, how the feedback fits into our short and long term plans, and whether the change aligns with our design philosophy.
While a feature request may not be on our roadmap yet, if it's open, that means our product team is still looking into developing it! If your vote is added to a post, you'll be notified via email when we update its status.

Does this include allowing folders for "Important Documents" to keep those files more organized (e.g., meeting minutes, governing documents, etc.)? That would be ideal.

Steven Gallo: Would you please explain what you'd like to be able to do further?

We’ve deployed the initial implementation of our modernized file serving site, beginning with the ability to serve news article attachments! Now, if you click a link to view a news article attachment from a modernized front end like the Admin Portal, you’ll be directed to our new file serving site.
We’ll be releasing the ability to view more types of files via this modernized file serving site as time passes.
