This is an old revision of the document!
Table of Contents
Features to Implement
Search Notices
- search box
- date range (maybe default is 2 weeks?) could use a cool calendar for this instead of standard form markup
- return all pages with given words, so an empty search is just a browse all in the date range
- query refinements: +,-,wildcards?
- checkboxes for specific categories, advanced search refinements
- include the past notices currently stored in text files?
High: Edit Posts
- Function: allow user to modify submitted notice before it is distributed
- Information: essentially, this will be the same as the notice submission form, just populated with the user's previous data
High: Subscriptions
Non-WLU
User Sees: Email field; password Explanation about who this is for
Behavior: - Check that they're not already subscribed - Send email to user to confirm, contains link to preferences - Page that email was sent
Preferences
User sees
- when modifying a user's subscription, use Active Directory to determine which group they cannot unsubscribe from
- allow users to subscribe only to some notice categories (Official, Greek, &c) and not others?
HTML in Notices
- I think we agreed that users should not be able to include HTML, especially pictures
- just plain-text, then?
Site Outline
- Include W&L header/footer from the rest of the site.
- left-hand sidebar will include the following pages:
- Campus Notices (explanatory welcome page)
- Post
- Edit/Cancel
- Today's Notices
- Search Notices
- Subscribe
- My Preferences
- FAQs
- Log out on every page
