Since yesterday the Google Group has started receiving postings from a user called intersystems.dc. These postings look like they're trying to replicate DC postings, though images don't appear. Nor are there any links leading across to DC, which is where the follow-up comments and answers are likely to appear.
it shows very nicely in bold if there are new comments. However, there is no link to jump directly to the first new comment. The word comment should be a link to that.
suggestions to try to make the searching of the community better, more relevent
I've been searching within the community for an article about troubleshoting SQL's working out how efficient they are, and how to look inside the system for other SLQ's that we used but may be inefficient, (still haven't found it, and getting frustrated)
We can change to this mode of UI in the Create New Post that I think makes the tag usage easier. There's help text under the window in this screen shot and it will contain instructions on the use of tagging, the benefits and also a link to a standing post to request new tags. I think this method of operation will allow us to add many more tags without making them burdensome to navigate.
Thoughts?
Not quite sure how to connect groups to tags in this UI but that might be the next step.
Developer Community was refreshed on May 30th with the following new features and fixes:
1. Formatting of postings in My Collaborations and My Content has been improved
2. Browse by Tag now has filtering options for New, Highest Rated and Unanswered posts
3. Full paging is back on the home page
4. Browse by Tag now includes child tags. Example - posts tagged only with "MDX", which is a child tag of "DeepSee", will appear when using Browse by Tag and viewing DeepSee content
A lot of tools in InterSystems products are designed to help facilitate high availability solutions (Mirroring and ECP come to mind readily). Since a lot of concerns about these technologies are in a similar thread regarding High Availability, I believe it might be worthwhile to create a High Availability Group within the Developer's Community.
What thoughts do people have on the addition of such a group?
Here's the screenshot of the sidebar widget "Related conversations":
The question turn-key export of data for XML-enabled class currently has 2 answers, 0 comments for the post and 1 comment for an answer. I think it would be more informative to display one of these metrics in the widget:
Since it took me a while to find the correct place to reply to a specific comment and not the post itself, I thought I'd make this observation an 'improvement request'.
Currently a comment has only the small grey arrow at the bottom, next to the 'favorite' button. The 'favorite' button has color and text which make it way more prominent. The 'reply' button on the other hand is gray and has no text. It's easy to miss.
I suggest adding at least text and perhaps also some color to the 'reply' button to make it stand out more. Even a tooltip would be useful.
On the homepage that we get when we go to https://community.intersystems.com/ there are three views, controlled by a set of buttons in the upper right:
Above is with the default view (the "house", i.e. the "home").
I was editing a comment and I hit backspace a few times until there was no text left. Subsequent backspaces will actually be interpreted by the browser as a back command.
Further investigation revealed that hitting backspace on the WYSIWYG editor when there is no contend does remove focus from the element.
After the March 15th DC update I posted one Question (as opposed to Article). I've been used to getting notified by email no more than an hour after someone responds to a post of mine. In the case of my question, I think I only got that email when someone posted a Comment on the question. When I went to read that comment I saw that there were several Answers that had been posted many hours earlier.
In this release we added new functionality that marks postings with either a "new" icon or an "unread" icon depending on when you came to the site last and the age of the postings.
Here are the rules as currently implemented:
- If a user hasn't viewed content which was posted less than 2 weeks ago, then the label "new" is displayed.
- If the user hasn't viewed content which was posted more than 2 weeks ago then the label "unread" is display.
