Description

A widely used announcements channel for uPortal allowing fine-grained authorization to determine who can make announcements and who can see them. The included Read Me file has complete instructions for installation, and a thorough description of the available functionality.

USC branch

On behalf of the University of Southern California, Unicon has made several enhancements to Columbia University's Announcements channel. All modifications have been checked into the announcements module under the 'USC' branch. These enhancements include:

  • pluggable html WYSIWYG editor (htmlArea by default)
  • Role-based topic management (simpler permission management)
  • Announcement and topic paging and page navigation
  • Sorting and paging preferences management
  • new end user and administrator views and features
  • new elements added to the announcement messages(i.e., Announcement title and abstract)
  • more options in the area of topic management.

Further information on all our changes can be viewed in the USC_Announcements.pdf document within the docs directory. We encourage everyone to take a look and test our new enhancements and provide any feedback on what more you would like to see with the channel in the future and what enhancements you may already have that you are willing to donate. If you have any further questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to e-mail me at dgrimwood@unicon.net.

Thank you.

Dave Grimwood
