Made by Onehub. Powered by Onehub. But we’ll keep that between us.

We’ve recently added an exciting new feature to the Enterprise Edition that allows you to remove all the Onehub branding so it looks like a solution that you developed. Absolutely no Onehub logos. Just use the white label settings found in the Account profile section to customize Onehub even further.

Here is a look at the settings you can use to customize your Onehub account.

This week the Business Pundit blog reviewed ten of the best collaborative applications for business. Onehub ranked in the top 10.

Business Pundit specifically liked the features that makes Onehub “ultra customizable”. In addition, they appreciated the intuitive, simple interface and the personal attention from staff after you sign up.

“Onehub lets you customize each page or Hub using widgets. These widgets are amazing, and a real strength of the UI. All the features mentioned above—calendar, tasks, etc.—you can mix and match into a Hub, depending on what you want. You can also customize the pages themselves, so that your calendar only appears as a right sidebar on your Tasks page, you don’t have a comments page at all, etc. You can pretty much create a custom experience based on simple functions. It’s really easy to design and add widgets. This was my favorite part of the Onehub experience.”

Thanks Business Pundit! We are honored to be included in your Top 10.

We released an update last night to add a Remember Me option on all Onehub login pages. Checking the box will keep you logged in for 90 days. In the past, users sessions expired after one hour of inactivity. The old behavior was frustrating to many of our frequent users who would need to log in many times throughout the day.

We also simplified the sign in process for users who use Remember Me to redirect you to the last Onehub app you visited when you go to onehub.com.

Login with Remember Me

Redirecting from Onehub.com

When you go to onehub.com we check for the presence of the Remember Me cookie. If there is a valid cookie, we redirect you to the last Onehub app you visited. You can still visit our corpsite when logged in by going to http://onehub.com/home.

Benefits to Your Users

Remember Me works on Account and Hub login pages as well. The account login page is an easy way to integrate your secure workspaces with your existing website. Adding a link or button to this page helps make your extranet easy to find and improves user adoption for your clients.

From day one almost all emails sent from Onehub Workspaces came from the address onehub@onehub.com. These included emails sent out when inviting someone to a Hub or account, or using the notify feature in a Hub to send a quick message to your Hub members.

We have seen a few requests to change this so that the emails would come from the person who sent it instead of the generic onehub@onehub.com address. It’s safe to say that this is something we definitely would have liked to do sooner, but we were concerned that it may cause spam filters to block the messages because we were sending email as someone else.

I’m happy to announce that we have found a solution to this problem that will allow invitation and Hub notification emails (the manually sent ones) to come from the user who actually sent them. This is how we have it set up in our new product, Onehub Transfers, and it has been working well.

We now have it set so invitations and manual notify messages will come from your email address. If you notice any of these messages not getting to their recipients and believe they are getting caught in spam filters, please let us know by emailing support@onehub.com.



Here are the top blog posts from 2009 based on number of web visits. We write about Rails, web development, CSS, design, web marketing and product updates. Development and Rails tips are the clear winners in popularity.

1. Why We Chose 960.gs for Our CSS Framework

A few months back, we redesigned Onehub.com to coincide with the public launch of the Onehub service. There were a ton of goals to achieve with the new design from education, sales and marketing perspectives. I also had my own hidden agenda which resulted in us implementing a CSS framework.

2. Using Godaddy SSL Certificates with NGINX

Have you just installed your new Godaddy certificate into your NGINX web server, and are you finding that some browsers (notably Safari) don’t trust your website when using your Godaddy SSL Certificate? This is manifest by the error message “Safari can’t identify the identity of the website ‘your.url.here’” and is caused by the “chain of trust” being incomplete between your certificate and any of the root certificates that your browser client has installed.

3. Buildmeister: Managing your build process using Lighthouse and Git

As with any web company, we’re constantly honing our development and deployment process. Recently, we moved to Lighthouse – we were already using Git, but the convergence of the two has finally crystallized our workflow into something that, we feel, works really nicely.

4. Rails Maintenance Pages Done Right

A maintenance page is a common feature in a rails deployment. This feature enables the developers to put their application into “maintenance mode”, returning 503 (Service Temporarily Unavailable) and a helpful page that describes what is happening and when the user can expect service to resume.

5. Decorating ActiveRecord Accessor Methods

Recently, I was faced with a quandary. I needed to impart some of our ActiveRecord accessor methods with special functionality, but I also needed to maintain the default behavior for those fields. This was done to support a new input type which we added to the venerable CalendarDateSelect plugin which allows a user to enter a date, time, and meridian, all in separate fields.

Onehub knows that online collaboration encompasses more than client extranets, partner portals, and file transfer. We are often asked by our customers about online meeting and conferencing solutions.

We are happy to recommend two very good solutions that compliment your Onehub virtual workspace and work on both PCs and Macs.

The first is GoToMeeting by Citrix. GoToMeeting is a Web conferencing tool that allows you to meet online rather than in a conference room. Meeting attendees can view any application running on your computer in real time.

GoToMeeting includes integrated phone and VOIP conferencing. The price starts at just $49/month for unlimited meetings.

The Onehub team uses GoToMeeting for demonstrations of our product, training customers, and for webcasts. We like GoToMeeting because it just works, it is easy to use and the price point is nice for small and medium-sized businesses.

We also recommend Cisco WebEx for online meetings and conferencing. WebEx combines real-time desktop sharing with phone conferencing so everyone sees the same thing whileyou talk. It is priced competitively at $49/month for unlimited meetings.

The Onehub team has used this solution before and like it because it is very reliable and provides a simple way to record and replay your presentations, trainings and online meetings.
