== May ==
 +
=== 02/05/2012 ===
 +
==== FlashCards====
 +
Attempted to try and enable functionality in mobile interface but unable to. Implementing resource loader simply disabled css interface as well.
 +

 +
New release, v2.5. Share function, clears cache on exit, prompts if user about to exit and ask for login details if changed since last app launch.
 +
==== Mobile Search Suggestions ====

OpenSearchXML installed on wiki to allow mobile devices to have drop down search page listings.
 +
 +
== April ==
 +
=== 22/04/2012===

 +
 +
=== 22/04/2012===
 +
==== Android App ====
 +
Basic app for android released. Currently a glorified shortcut... [http://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.VetApps.WikiVet See it on Google Play]
 +
 +
=== 21/04/2012===
 +
====NetworkAuth Extension ====
 +
Now disabled for RVC. Never achieved what we were aiming for in terms of multi-site logins and was causing a few too many bugs for RVC users that were benefiting from its actions. Still ina ction to provide better experince when interacting with commons.
 +
 +
=== 20/04/2012===
 +
====Mobile Site====
 +
* Added extra function to GlobalFunctions.php (will be included in release 1.19 by default). [[GlobalFunctions PHP Changes|Code is here]].
 +
* Extension MobileFrontEnd added to main wikis.
 +
* Created WikiVet logo for mobiles sites (& app)
 +
* .htaccess modified to direct mobiles users to the new site
 +
* Commons.css modified to hide mobile content on front page for none mobile suers
 +
* Login page modified to display properly on mobile devices
 +
* Modified Mobile frontend to allow users to login
 +
** Removed ('self::$isBetaGroupMember ' associated with login pages in MobileFrontend.body.php)
 +
 +
===01/04/2012===
 +
====Mobile Site====
 +
Tweaked settings as mobile devices not readily being detected. Enabled login for mobile interface.
 +
===31/03/2012===
 +
====Mobile Site====
 +
WikiVet beta now setup with a working mobile version. Mobile device detection working, but somewhat limited in terms of preference recognition (i.e. once desktop version chosen cannot go back). Common.css not reconsigned as of yet so VVH wont display properly.
 +
 +
== February ==
 +
===04/02/2010===
 +
====DynamicPageList====
 +
Updated so that in hospital lack of cases in category says that rather than standard error message. Changes are [[User:A.allison/DynamicPageList Changes|here]].
 +
====[[Virtual Veterinary Hospital]]====
 +
Updated Common.css to improve layout and look of hospital pages. Implemented two new template ([[Template:Xerte|here]] and [[Template:VVHcases|here]]) to aid with universal look to the hospital.
 +
 +
===01/02/2010===
 +
====ConfirmAccount====
 +
Re-added missing coed to allow confirmation emails to be resent.
 +
 +
==December==
 +
===02/01/2012===
 +
====WikiVet Surveys====
 +
Renamed survey site and added a few tweaks to give it our logo. Also built sample survey. Looks promising!
 +
===30/12/2011===
 +
====Virtual Veterinary Hospital====
 +
Starting to migrate hospital into main English WikiVet platform. All images uploaded to commons and css transferred across.
 +
====LimeSurvey====
 +
Set up on the server for surveys to be built and run by us.
 +
====NetworkAuth====
 +
NetworkAuth re-enabled for RVC.
 +
====CC Licence====
 +
Upgraded all wikis (apart from fr) to latest licence (3.0).
 +
 +
===29/12/2011===
 +
====Commons Issue====
 +
Change made to NetworkAuth so that images taken from Commons display properly but no error message are generated when non-logged in users visit the site.
 +
 +
Made changes so that upload.wikivet.net is also recognised in the same way as commons.wikivet.net is.
 +
 +
===14/12/2011===
 +
====EmbedPDF====
 +
Due to compatibility issues extension has been disabled.
 +
 +
===14/12/2011===
 +
====Unification====
 +
The ultimate goal to unify the code base, somewhat accelerated due to problem using a shared settings file but separate code bases for each wiki as not all extension could locate their files correctly. This will fix that problem.
 +
* All of the language wikis and commons now use the same code source
 +
* Localsettings.php files are now all encoded with UTF-8
 +
* 1fr.php, 1es.php & 1en.php have been added to <code>/maintenance</code> to allow up date scripts to effectively function
 +
* Even more settings migrated to SharedSettings.php
 +
* French wiki is now 'WikiVet Français' and Spanish wiki is now 'WikiVet Español'
 +
====WhiteList====
 +
In preparation for the unification of the code base the extension now looks at the site url and selects the appropriate whitelist file.
 +
 +
===12/12/2011===
 +
====ConfirmEdit====
 +
Made local as files not properly referenced in shared folder
 +
====ConfirmEdit====
 +
Now disabled as a few users are saying it doesn't always work (vast majority of users this works for) which is probably due to a lack of math ability esp. as error cannot be re-created. Typo corrected in messages ('Pleae' to 'Please').
 +
====ConfirmAccount====
 +
Talk page creation disabled. Ability to update school list restored.
 +
====WhiteList====
 +
French Whitelist re-populated. Whitelist files are now UTF-8 encoded to allow for special characters.
 +
 +
===10/12/2011===
 +
====Maps====
 +
Reworked code on [[Template:WorldMap]] and created new markers to compliment it.
 +
 +

 +
===07/12/2011===
 +

 +
Extensions required some modifications to make it work in 1.18. On Alpha.
 +

 +
 +
===03/12/2011===
 +
====Front Page====
 +
Change made to css to hide title and breadcrumb trail from main apge to clean it up. Modification added so burecrats dont have an odd looking page as well. Changes documented [[User:A.allison/Commoncss|here]].
 +

 +
 +
===02/12/2011===
 +

Alpha now upgraded to version 1.18. Test has started. Most extensions seem to be working as long as latest version uploaded.
 +

Main page now has a Google+ '+1' to ensure we keep up with the excitement that it social networking...
 +
====Front Page====
 +
===19/09/2011===
 +
====Front Page====
 +
Realigned the like and twitter buttons to make best use of screen real estate. Especially as page becoming so large.
 +
===16/09/2011===
 +
====Search====
 +
Not working! No error message, presumed a sever restart.
 +
===16/09/2011===
 +
====Search====
 +
Forgot to restart the search feature after server stopped!
 +
===06/09/2011===
 +
====Server Down====
 +
Entire site off line, no explained reason, up and running in no time though.
 +
 +
==July==
 +
===20/07/2011===
 +
====Dada Mailer====
 +
Now undone change made on the 11th as I have changed dada captcha to use 'reCaptcha' rather than its inbuilt system. This should correct all the problems currently being experienced and tests indicate it is working effectively.
 +
===20/07/2011===
 +
====WikiCommons====
 +
Enabled in 'es' wiki as well now.
 +
===18/07/2011===
 +
====Confirm Account====
 +
Updated central extension to mirror changes made in 'en' local. Central now the most up to date.
 +
====Search Daemon VI====
 +
Now running with no issues since the 13th. Problem assumed fixed.
 +
 +
===13/07/2011===
 +
====Search Daemon V====
 +
Continuing to stop. Problem in one of the files. Have now re-configured and re-built the entire index so will see if this corrects the problem. Deamon restarted @ 22:09.
 +
 +
 +
Failed again by 22:58. Modified lsearchd file and restarted.
 +
 +
===12/07/2011===
 +
====ConfirmAccount====
 +
Registrations can no longer have a special character in their username. This will prevent the error message that was being generated when users did this.
 +
====WikiVet Commons====
 +
Upgraded to version 1.17 to resolve problem with vector skin and IE.
 +
====Search Daemon IV====
 +
* 11:15 Stopped again. Restarted.
 +
* 08:02 Stopped again. Restarted with trace.
 +
 +
===11/07/2011===
 +
====Dada Mailer====
 +
Upgraded to version 4.51.
 +
 +
Removed all references to captcha as this was causing the site to not all users to administer their account of subscribe.
 +
 +
dada\DADA\Profile.pm @ line 753 changed to '0'
 +
 +
dada\Mail.cgi @ line 9204 changed to '0'
 +
====Search Daemon III====
 +
* 20:47 Started again. Restarted.
 +
* 20:28 Stopped again.
 +
* 18:51 Stopped again. So restarted.
 +
* 15:57 Stopped again. So restarted.
 +
* 10:30 Restarted as had stopped.
 +
 +
====ConfirmAccount====
 +
Added message in both initial email and confirmatory message post submission to ask users to be patient while their request is reviewed.
 +
 +
===10/07/2011===
 +
====Search Daemon II====
 +
Restarted as had stopped.
 +
===09/07/2011===
 +
====Search Daemon I====
 +
Restarted as had stopped.
 +
====Licence====
 +
Added 'No Derivatives' and 'Non-Commercial' to CC licence at bottom of all pages.
 +
 +
===06/07/2011===
 +
====ImageMagick III====
 +
ImageMagick now upgraded. All wikis pointed to new directory. Also re-enabled on English wiki.
 +
 +
$wgMaxShellMemory limit now raised on all wikis as on default value larger images (resolution) could not be resized, leaving either blank place holders or error messages. This seems to have fixed the problem, but the situation will be monitored in case database problems reoccur.
 +
====ImageMagick II====
 +
Disabled again as causing problems on database. Also noted that other wikis struggle to rend files over 2mb, although English wiki just crashes rather than showing error messages. Looking to upgrade ImageMagick and work from there.
 +
 +
===05/07/2011===
 +
====ImageMagick====
 +
Re-enabled on WikiVet (en) as server unable to scale/resize image of 2mb or over. Previously disabled as site slowed down on image upload due to database queries. Files no longer uploaded and different path for image magick specified so will see if this works.
 +
 
==June==

===23/06/2011===
 +
====[http://alpha.wikivet.net WikiVet Alpha]====
 +
Now up and running. Will use as a test bed to ensure all aspects of the extensions currently running on WikiVet work under the new version.
 +
====FlashCard Extension====
 +
Now rewritten to remove javascript. Completely css drive. Compatible across browsers (Inc. IE6). Modified appearance and allow tables to adjust to screen of different resolutions (cf. fixed width previously). Changes can be seen here: [http://beta.wikivet.net/FlashCard_Test].
 +
 +
===21/06/2011===
 +
====Random Pages====
 +
Explored a number of alternatives for random page generation within a category. No luck so far.
 +
* External script (toolserve based) - didn't work at all
 +
* Extension Intersection/DynamicPageList - can't embed random links
 +
* Extension: RandomInCategory - not random at all
 +
====Video Platform II====
 +
Further investigation into proxies, no joy with what we want despite coming close with phpmyproxy script, but cant get it to accept urls so not much use. May aave to look at cookies for authentication.
 +
====Virtual Hospital III====
 +
Tried to force compatibility onto IE6 but failed. Can't seem to get it to inherit all the requirements beyond the first 'div' class. All other browsers tested are fine though (FF4 Chrome12, IE8,IE9, android webkit). Slight modifications made so images are located in relative form (broke IE6 and probably IE7) but allows everything to be displayed correct using different skins in mediawiki (simple has problems). IE6 cant render anything outside vector skin (and doesn't do that particularly well). May have to accept IE6 (IE7?) users cant use this resource!
 +
===20/06/2011===
 +
====Virtual Hospital II====
 +
Proper prototypes generated for main page to hospital ([http://beta.wikivet.net/Virtual_Hospital_Test_2] and [http://beta.wikivet.net/Virtual_Hospital_Test_3]). Basic level of compatibility testing done. IE6 stand out problem.
 +
===18/06/2011===
 +
====Video Platform I====
 +
Initial research into proxy layer for external videos and .htaccess restrictions to protect content.
 +
===17/06/2011===
 +
====Virtual Hospital I====
 +
Possibilities for interactivity explored and [http://beta.wikivet.net/Virtual_Hospital_Test_1 proof of concept] delivered. Should be able to do everything from css. Some incompatibly expected with old version of IE (6/7), but less than 6% users use these browsers.
 +
====WYSIWYG====
 +
Frustratingly while in many ways the editor worked, it failed to keep images, instead replacing them with link. Positively pointless extension...
 +
 +
Tried to use FCKEditor but this hangs on iamge look up. Problem with both of these extensions seems to be the way they handle iamges. Theya re looking for iamges within the wiki, but now with WikiVet Commons images are no longer where they typically are.
 +
 +
WYSIFTW editor work in WikiVet Commons (1.17). Its not ideal but may provide a nice intermediate editor for those wanting to make simple text edits.
 +
====Image Directories====
 +
While it is possible for non-registered users to view images via direct links I have now stopped the image directories of the wiki to be viewed. Indeed viewing of all wiki directories is now prohibited.
 +
 
===16/06/2011===
 
===16/06/2011===
 +
====MediaCore====
 +
Starting to investigate this as a platform for video content organisation.
 
====UploadWizard====
 
====UploadWizard====
 
Another attempt to make it work. Elements are improved but it just doesn't work properly or reliably. An extension currently being developed on other mediawiki platofrms so will revisit regularly.
