18/08/2008 - New preferences on the news service and less bugs
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
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.
16/05/2008 - Improvements in the news, events, WebPages and menus services
17/11/2007 - Important improvements on the Homepage
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!
26/08/2007 - Take Advantage of Social Bookmarking, one of the last improvements of our Ab·core Platform
19/08/2007 - The Webmail and its editor WYSIWYG change their look
Those of you who use the Webmail as a daily work tool will have already realized that we have installed a new version, similar to the web2.0 applications, so that your mail has a more friendly and tidy look now.
However the old webmail is still available, you just have to click the link Old Webmail at the heading.

Obviously, from the old webmail you can go back to the new one clicking the link Ajax Webmail.

If you want to have one of the two by default, you can set it up following route:
Admin -> Services Setup -> Webmail -> Preferences.
.
Along the installation process we have put a copy of the Address Book in the new system, so that you can keep in touch with your contacts without having to make a new one; however, bear in mind that they are separated systems and if you choose a contact in one of the address books, it won’t show in the other.
We have also updated the WYSIWYG editor with the last version of FCKeditor 2.4.3. The WYSIWYG editor allows to write a text and see at the same time its design when it is published and the FCK editor is one of the best word editors for webs that allows to use programmes like Word in our sites.
In short, this new version includes improvements, solves security problems and provides more stability.
Ab.core is the iwith.org programme that brings the Internet services (web pages, e-mail, volunteering agents, virtual communities, etc) closer to the organisations.
