Connect Updates (15 April 2010)

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello again team,

It's been a busy week for the Connect dev team ;) Here are a few Connect tasks we've completed this week:

  • UI Tweaks:

    We realized that once you filtered blog posts by author, there was no way to 'undo' the filter. This has been fixed.

  • Performance

    - Removed some one-time use code to minimize the memory footprint.
    - Changed the way we load seldom-used code so memory is freed up for other tasks.
    - Shifted some of our code to leverage the Java engine on the search server.
    - Re-factored database queries behind Connect and community feeds and feeds at the bottom of community overview pages.

  • More Calendars:

    Added calendar views to event lists site-wide.

  • Script Magic:

    - Added a script that automatically refreshes items featured in the "popular" lists.
    - Added a script that removes reward points from users who have not contributed to the site in the past year.

  • Workspace Tweak:

    Added a pager to the Workspace pages so contributors can navigate all their contributions.

  • Rewards Catalog:

    A "confirm" dialog now pops up to keep users from accidentally ordering multiple items.

Enjoy!
Kevin
