by Pam Martin - 7 months ago

Below is the growing list of new features, functionality, and upgrades that have been added to the IGLOO network during the first quarter of 2008:

Application Updates:

  • All core applications (Workarea, Calendar, Forums, Member Directory and Gallery) received style and functionality upgrades that brought each of them more into the web 2.0 methodology

Web Addresses:

  • Domains have been sub-domained to give customers a more varied choice for their community web address

Community Browsing

  • Contextual Breadcrumbs - were added to the event calendar to aid users in browsing and searching for events by year, month, and date
  • Navigation - root level navigational items now have action menus contextually so that users can manage the object without having to go to the Control Panel
  • Search - improved community search by providing more reliable community search indices and a more Google-like familiar search result format
