Mobile CWD v0.0000001 alpha

Alex Bilbie Code, Updates , ,

So after much messing around we’ve finally got a semi-decent mobile stylesheet for CWD web sites. For the moment we’ve only worked on getting mobile Safari to look right however now we’ve got a platform on which we can hack in support for other popular mobile browsers such as Opera Mobile.

Here are a few examples:

Only a few sites are working correctly at the moment, and there are a few other bugs that we need to iron out such as a flash that appears when some sites are loaded and some other funky quirks however we’ll do our best to fix these and ensure that future sites all work as expected from now on.

If anything is breaking monumentally please let me know, abilbie@lincoln.ac.uk. Thanks.

Upcoming CWD Preferences

One of the benefits of having a single sign on system is that we can now very easily add personalisation into our online services including the common web design.

You can now set some accessibility preferences for the CWD that will will be enabled whenever you visit a CWD enabled website. To do so, go to http://cwd.online.lincoln.ac.uk/preferences/manage.

We’re still testing these features so if they don’t appear straight away then don’t worry. When we do roll this out to everyone you’ll receive a popop the first time you visit a CWD site to confirm the settings (or if you haven’t already set them you’ll be able to do so).

Ready for prime time

Alex Bilbie 2.3, update, Updates

The CWD is now implemented on more than 50 University of Lincoln websites and blogs (see http://lost.lincoln.ac.uk/cwd/2.2/logs/) and after many hours debugging and testing it’s finally ready for prime time.

Proudly introducing

http://cwd.online.lincoln.ac.uk/

From tomorrow (17th August ’10) we’ll begin the process of updating sites to point at the new address and also updating the sites to version 2.3 Dallas Dhu which has been in development for the past 2 months. Tomorrow I’ll put up a post detailing the changes in 2.3 as well as some updated documentation that Nick has been working hard on.
