15/09/2008 - Some Corrections and Improvements
To keep up with minor error corrections, here is information about the latest repairs as well as new functional improvements:
Improvements:
• Before applying a default language, you can define your settings to try to see if the language of the user's navigator is one of your organization's languages. This improvement applies to services.
• Bounce email has been added to the newsletter configuration. This address receives error messages or alerts from newsletter mailings. The next step is to try to automate the clearing out of users who have repeated sending errors.
• Now the newsletter service allows you to define an external RSS provider.
Resolved problems:
• Links service: Now when a category is edited, the URL Identifier is not lost.
• RSS Page: Now it uses external providers, if available, for the events and newsletter Services.
• In AutoContent (newletter or web page editor) the option to enter a URL instead of selecting a news item is functioning again.
• News/Sections: Resolving the error in categorizing new translations.
Thanks to everyone who helps us every day by notifying us of problems and by sending in suggestions for improvements.

20/08/2008 - Latest preferences for the news service.
Up to now in the Ab·core platform, at the end of every article of the news service, the author's name was showed, as well as the translator's name in case of being a translated text. We could choose to visualize these names, so as the possibility to link those with an e-mail address.
We have now enhanced this preference, so that as well as linking the name with an e-mail address you can additionally link with the author and/or translator's profile in the extranet.
We think this is the most appropriate option having in mind the number of Spammers around. Also, because it offers additional information to the reader about the author's profile, previous articles, comments, etc.
We will shortly be improving the profile site in the users extranet so that personalized messages can also be sent.

18/08/2008 - New preferences on the news service and less bugs
Last weekend, we published a series of improvements, these are the details...
News Service:
Kind regards,
News Service:
- There is a new preference to indicate whether we want to show the section title when we are taking a look at the news list of a section.
- If the number of languages on the site is the same as 1, the option "All the languages" will not shown.
- There is a new preference which indicates if when assigning a directory subpermission that contains subdirectories, it applies only to this one or to the entire tree.
- Now, all the subpermissions have the "Only registered users" option, and it only allows a subpermission for a directory from this group.
- The entrance filter for Google Maps dimesions was modified in order to accept letters, because the habitual action is to add the unit (example: 400px)
- The URL that appears on the "GMaps" bubbles was modified so as to use the new enhanced format for search motors or compatible SEO.
Kind regards,
03/08/2008 - Improvements in content editors and new opportunities on the Ab.core site
The improvement that we are advertising will, we believe, be a help in optimising the work of those of us who publish content, whether it be news, events, videos or whatever. More to the point it will be useful to those of us who refer to this information on the home or other pages. If this first step is a success, this tool will soon be available for the newsletter service.
What’s more, this modernisation corrects a number of minor flaws and matters of style. Below is a by no means exhaustive list.
• The events RSS is working properly again
• Gone are some of br clear=all of the events service
• The term “tags” is replaced by “more on” to make it clearer for users.
• Improvement in the style of the social bookmarking links
• When saving a page with the web editor when it has Snippets at fixed points on the page, these are no longer duplicated.

10/07/2008 - Measure the Popularity of your News
To know how many times a news item has been read, which item has been read by the most people, during a given period of time, are things we like to know when we have a web page.
This is the purpose of the new 'stats' option which you will find in the news service. It gives us a list of news items ordered from the most to the least visited. Also, we can filter the result over a period of time or increase/reduce the number of results it gives us. Now you can know, for example, who makes the most popular news?
Let's put it to use!

08/05/2008 - Menu target can now be defined.
The menu configuration has been improved to let us define the redirection of the clicked link. Automatically, it pops up in the same window but we can set it to open in a new window.
30/04/2008 - New Forum Service: to promote dialogue and discussion
Coinciding with the Alternative Channel forum that Iwith.org co-organised, we have decided to launch a new service, the FORUM. We came up with this so that, in a simple format, we could initiate discussion, and exercise a control suited to our needs. In addition, there are tools for alerting people to fresh comments, statistics, filters and, obviously, customisation
01/02/2008 - Now Your Users Can Help You To Translate Your Site

04/01/2008 - Communication, or the possibility of sending e-mails, but in a personalized manner
There are many that have commented to us having the problem of sending a message to a certain number of users, friends and collaborators in the electronic mail form. Above all, because our interest was to send personalized e-mails and also require a completed distribution list or a newsletter. In order to make this easier, we have added a new service function in our e-mail that allows us to send messages to a specific group of interest.
17/11/2007 - Important improvements on the Homepage
This week we have published an innovation that solves some minor failures, while introduces some enhancements as detailed below:
Homepage:
• Now this service is called Webpages, as we think this better matches with what the service is offering at present.
WebPages and Metatags:
• It allows defining Metatags for the redirection page. Usually, the redirection page sends the user to another page depending on the language or some other parameters. Search engines such as Google do see this page but so far it couldn’t be indexed because it wouldn’t have any content. We have added an option to insert metatags and define the text and links that the search engines will collect to enhance the indexation of the web site; this is, to make it easier to be selected by Google when related searches are run. It can be configured from: Services Setup -> WebPages -> Preferences.
Forms:
• Customfields such as country and UN delegations can now be defined as mandatory.
Sitemaps:
• Optimization of the URLs to be sent to Google. Elimination of external URLs that Google world not consider and therefore, would not help the web to be selected by the search engines.
News:
• A link has been added at the News service home to visualize the news in every language (not only the navigation language)
• Navigation by sections works correctly again.
We hope all this improvements will be of your interest!

05/11/2007 - New functionality: RSS Feed Injector
Over past weekend we have added a new functionality to the News service; the RSS feed Injector.
This functionality help us define data flows that automatically will add news to our categories.
The processor interprets the news feeds, but also podcasts, videocasts and photo flows. We have successfully tested it already with sites such as Digg, Del.icio.us, Flikr.com or BBC.

27/07/2007 - Summer improvements
When the summer time arrives, the majority of people opts to ‘migrate’ to cooler environments, take a little bit of free time, relax,... But in Iwith.org we have a tradition: a bunch of crazy programmers lock ourselves out with no phone, no email, and no distractions, and we star to implement, enhance and design enhancements and services for the Ab•core platform.
That’s how “La Plataforma” was born, on summer 2001, and, since then, each year we repeat the tradition, and on these dates we try to do enhancements and changes that, during the year, because of work, professional life or simply because of lack of time, we are not able to do.
This summer we are working on the user management interface’s design, and adding the concept of extranet user. If you are interesting in knowing what is this, keep reading...
