Version: 24 November 2011

New features

  • CRQ2314 and CRQ3107: The video content type has been modified to use YouTube for parts of its functionality. This should make the process of uploading video content considerably easier for users, as the 10Mb upload limit will not apply. It is also possible to attach videos to content in the same way that images are currently attached. All video upload requests should now be directed to Marketing.
  • CRQ2829: Maps and videos can now be embedded into news items and events descriptions
  • CRQ2869: A new Twitter feed content type is now available to embed feeds into CMS pages
  • CRQ3684: A new "Selected Publications" content type extending and replacing the "Recent Publications" content type and including more options. All existing "Recent Publications" content items will be automatically converted to the new "Selected Publications" type.
  • CRQ3710: Substantial changes to the Profile System. The navigation and page layout has been significantly improved, and importing publication data from the external CrossRef database is now possible. A number of REF-related changes have also been made, and more information about these will be available from the Research Office in late November; the only change visible to general users of the system is the addition of a "REF suggestion" checkbox for publications.
