ICE cycle 2009-09-18

September 30th, 2009

Summary

This week we assisted Link Affiliates in the movement of their servers, part of the process meant moving the ICE content from one server to another and this gave us a few issues to fix along the way.

General bug fixing continued as well as a spring clean of the tickets and template directory in the trunk.

Cynthia tried to modify the refresh of the portal, to maintain a place in the html view of a document. This has resulted in a flow-on effect and other refresh changes have been required. In addition, Cynthia has discovered that IE8 will be challenging for us from a css point of view.

We await Ron’s subversion changes and testing will start soon.
