As part of part of our commitment to your success, we're happy to announce several improvements to MC Trade to help you manage your organization more efficiently and effectively. We will roll out these changes to all customers on June 12, 2024.
Updated Online Event Calendar
Over the past 5 years, we have been rebuilding our public-facing web pages to use new, modern infrastructure and design for the best possible experience for your members. With this release, the final web component is now available in the new "branded" web pages: your online calendar.
To configure and view the new version of the online calendar, you can go to Admin > Global Settings, then click Web Preferences > Calendar Settings. Set your header info and any menu/filter settings, and then click "View Calendar" to see the new version. You can simply use this new link on your website, or if you'd like to redirect your current calendar to the new version, check out the upgrade options below.
The Event Details pages are also updated, if a user clicks from the calendar to view more details. These pages are also more mobile-friendly, and use your organization's branding settings for a more streamlined look. The event registration page/workflow has not changed.

Public Links and URLs: Upgrade All Web Components
While many of the links out to your public website pages (directory, portal, etc.) are available in different pages and settings options throughout MC Trade, we've now added a central place for you to view all of the web components available for your website, and easily copy the URLs to any of these pages for use in emails, website CMS editing, and more. If you have multiple website domains in MC Trade, you'll see a dropdown to choose the site you'd like to link to, and you can copy links using that domain.
You'll also be able to see if you are using all of the most up-to-date web component pages, and easily upgrade all pages if you are still on the legacy versions. Click here for more information.
Banner Ad Widget Generator
If you use a third-party website for your main content and would like to place a banner ad tracked through MC Trade on one of those pages, you now have the option to generate a code snippet that will place the banner on any web page, and track the views/clicks in your member's profile.
