Changes to myUMBC for August 4, 2010

Wed, 04 Aug 2010 21:44:03 -0400

Media - We've been working on this one long and hard and are very proud to offer this to the community. Media provides a way to share your video and images from YouTube, Vimeo and Flickr, as well as images hosted elsewhere on the web, but that's not all....

Media Subscriptions - Yesterday we added the ability for your group to subscribe to an external RSS feed, now you can subscribe your group to a YouTube, Vimeo, or Flickr account and have that content automatically pulled into myUMBC.

Discussion Vote CSV - You can now download the results of a poll as a CSV for whatever nefarious, statistical purposes you may desire.

...that's all of the big stuff today

Tweaks

Thanks to suggestions from SEB:

We've made it so that the default title for new content clears when you click the box

Events now allows you to enter times like "5 PM" instead of 5:00 PM

Bug Fixes

We fixed a bug causing Spotlights to show in the incorrect order or not at all on their Featured Date... we're terribly sorry about that.

The mail dashboard was acting up for some people, we sat it down and had a stern talk with it.

And as always... miscellaneous typos and fixes.

Finally, as always, please contact me with any comments, questions, problems or suggestions: collier@umbc.edu
