Centralisation III
Support for multiple languages has now been enabled in the newsletter subscription form. Significant changes were made to the mailing list in order to accommodate required results.
Centralisation II
Successfully implemented a central extension folder so that multiple wikis can run off the same extensions enable rapid deployment of extension upgrades in the future.
Centralisation I
Initial preparatory steps are being taken to support a multi-language WikiVet, namely a Spanish version. Database table sharing has been successfully tested on test sites and steps taken to preserve registration structure have also been successful.

Started to look at another facebook extensions TwitterFBLike, here.

Users can no longer use a single character for their name. If the character is trailed by a "." it will also be rejected.

Poll Extensions
Biref look at a number of extension to try polling on the wiki. None particularly good on first analysis. Tired Poll2, Vote and SecurePoll.

NetworkAuth
Extension installed to allow institutional access via IP ranges. Now testing out for RVC IP addresses.
29/01/2011
FCKeditor Take II
This extension has now been installed again to give WikiVet a WYSIWYG editor. The flaw where it was removing captions to images has now been resolved (details here). This extension only works with wikitext. Pages that contain HTML will corrupt when this extension is used.
26/01/2011
Rich Text Editor
FCKeditor disabled as it has too many bugs. Several other editors looked into and tested but none provide the stability, compatibility or usability that we require. Further work needs to be done to find a good working alternative. This may require considerably more time...
23/01/2011
FCKeditor
This extension has now been installed to give WikiVet a WYSIWYG editor. It should hopefully reduce the learning curve required to edit the wiki.
12/01/2011
Copyright
Site content copyright details should now appear across the wiki pages. Changes made to enforce this are listed here.
12/01/2011
Collection Extension
Now installed and configured. User can now create PDF's and books by using the link in the sidebar under 'Print/Export'. Extension modified to alert users to unreliable nature of creating books (our server may not be quick enough?) as well as removing the option to buy the book (this may be re-instigated). Change in code documented here.
11/01/2011
ConfirmAccount Extension
Users are now added to the database for the mailer automatically. Extension no longer adds users to a category based on their year of graduation.
10/01/2011
Collection Extension
Now under investigation. Should deliver the ability to produce books and PDF's from the sites pages. Clearance and further testing required of this extension before it is made live.
Dada Mailer
Upgraded to the latest version 4.3.1 and have integrated the database directly into the wiki's database to enable better integration with existing extensions, namely confirm account, and to stream line the back end of WikiVet.
07/01/2011
ConfirmAccount
Preliminary work has been carried out in an attempt to automatically add new users to the newsletter mailing list. Re-organisation of the the database will be required.
