Site Upgrades

[IU Hoosier41]

The following upgrades have been completed and should be live on the site.  Turning focus over to the BtownBanners mobile app next.

 

Updates:

New Features:

• When you mouseover the badge showing who liked a post, you will now see a larger list of who liked that post. You can still click to get the full list.
• Ratings now show half-stars for the average (for example, if one user votes 3 stars and another 4, it will show 3 and a half stars) and there is now an indication if you have rated something.
• A "Preview" button has been added to the post editor which shows how the post will appear after BBCode processing. Tabs show how the post will appear on desktop, tablet and mobile.
• Users can now choose to ignore notifications for being mentioned in posts by particular users.
• You can now filter searches by specific forums/categories.
• You can now control whether open and click tracking should be used for emails sent by SparkPost.

Activity Stream enhancements:

• The filter dropdowns now have an "Apply" button for better usability (previously you had to click outside the dropdown).
• The "Expanded/Collapsed" toggles are now clearer.
• Hitting back from a clicked item in any activity stream now remembers your position and loaded results.

Other enhancements and improvements:

• The way dates are formatted can now be customised by language strings. For example, if you want to change the date format to "DD-MM-YYYY" that is now possible. With this change, the new default is US-style ("March 4, 1992") rather than the previous European-style ("4 March 1992").
• Advertisements no longer have padding which makes them easier to position in other areas such as headers.
• When comparing revisions of articles in Pages databases, a new browser-based diff tool is used which is more user-friendly and moves the computation from the server to the user's browser for greater performance.

 

• Broken @mention links.
• Merging members could cause follow records to be lost.
• Email digests.
• Incoming emails to Commerce.
• Announcements expiring at the wrong time.
• Error when editing database records or sidebar widget.
• Error trying to establish external connection to certain servers.
• Error redirecting from http to https.

 

Much more to come guys.  Bear with us as we hunker down and get back to work.

I am being booted from the site each time I click back to the homepage.  Any reason for this?

I was having this issue for awhile when I was on my phone also.

Meh the homepage is just a waste of space anyway. There are three pages worth while. IU football, basketball, and recruiting Aloha. Nothing good happens on the homepage.

Been away for a while. Having issues with the "activity stream."  I used to be able to hit unread content and it would show just the thread title.  Now it's showing each reply in a certain thread.  I just want to see the thread title.  I set up the "custom view" and saved it, but when I hit unread content, I then have to go in and change it to my custom view, which I ended up saving like 2 times. Is there a better way to do that, or am I just lost?

Same here.  I tried saving the view and don't even see a way to select the view I saved.

I've had a ticket out with our site team on this for over a month. It's been happening to me too and is incredibly annoying. I'll keep pushing for a solution. Could have something to do with the cookie settings in your browser though.

Will pass this along to developers as well. I haven't played around with the streams much But will do this week.
