Website Updates

Submitted by kieran on Mon, 02/04/2007 - 5:41am.

All the websites are now back online. There are still a few issues to resolve and a few more features to add (see below) -- if you find other problems please let me know. There are a number of major changes, including:

  • New Jitsu Toronto site (http://www.jitsutoronto.com).
  • New menu (hopefully easier to navigate).
  • Updated Gallery software which adds a load of new features such as tags, easier uploading of photos, ...
  • New private messaging feature (kind of like e-mail but without displaying email addresses). This is available to registered members. The contact pages for users have been removed.
  • New "Recent Content" block.
  • New "Tags Cloud" block which uses text size to show the most frequently used tags.
  • Changed the Jitsu Site selection process. This will be a much easier "One Site" or "All Sites" selection. Still to do.

For editors and others who publish content on the site (which can be any registered member - hint!) I also changed:

  • New text editor.
  • New "Publish on Jitsu Canada Site" option to allow you to focus your pages to the most applicable sites.
  • New "Registered Jitsu Canada Member" role to restrict any content to Jitsu Canada members only (eg syllabus).

Known issues:

  • Jitsu Toronto has no content and broken links.
  • Google maps do not work (except for Jitsu Ottawa).
  • The upcoming events block looks strange.
  • The Gallery does not display prev/next images as it used to.
  • No Jitsu Site selection
