OLEFA 14.3: Pinboard and new tools view


  1. Completely new feature: pinboard:

    • The pinboard allows users to share messages with all other users, or with specific user groups.

    • It offers many features people know from popular social networks: sharing posts, commenting, reporting abuse, but is an enclosed area that is only accessible to the users of your site, and without the anonymity of a public portal.

    • It is also possible to post links to specific collaboration projects - Wiki, Webbook, Storyboard, Tiparlo, Poll and Timeline – on the pinboard by using the share menu directly within the respective tool.


  2. Collaboration tools: new projects overview:

    • The tools overview is now integrated inside the new userhome area together with the newly introduced pinboard.

    • The new list view combines the details of the former list view with the clarity of the former icon view.

    • It is no longer necessary to turn pages, but the list is expanded automatically when scrolling down.

    • The overview also shows which user is currently working on which project.


  3. New notifications:

    • Formerly, daily wiki reports have only been sent to site administrators. It is now also possible for groupmasters to get a specific report about the activity of their group.

    • The report now contains all collaboration tools - Wiki, Webbook, Storyboard, Tiparlo, Poll and Timeline - and also offers links that lead directly to the respective project.

    • A new notification type also keeps you informed when someone replies to a pinboard post you have created or commented on.


  4. Other features:

    • It is now possible to define from which accesslevel on users should see the OLEFA update information during login.

    • OLEFAbase now also offers drag&drop fields for single images, pdf, audio, video and documents.


  5. Various bugfixes and performance improvements.
