Techie Update Nov9 2012
From EdFutures
In addition to taking some steps that will block future attempts to spam the site, I added the following features from the "Techy Todo List":
Video embedding[edit]
TL;DR version: {{#ev:youtube|9bZkp7q19f0}} works now.
Details:
The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:
- {{#ev:service|id}}
- {{#ev:service|id|width}}
- {{#ev:service|id|width|align}}
- {{#ev:service|id|width|align|desc}}
- {{#evp:service|id|desc}}
- {{#evp:service|id|desc|align}}
- {{#evp:service|id|desc|align|width}}
Services are:
- dailymotion
- divshare
- edutopia
- funnyordie
- googlevideo
- interia
- revver
- sevenload
- teachertube
- youtube
- youtubehd
- vimeo
e.g.
Word-type editing[edit]
I enabled the WikiEditor extension, which will just be used by default when you edit now. You can disable it in your user preferences (via Special:Preferences) if you don't like it.
News Bulletins[edit]
Write a page tagged with [[Category:Bulletins]] and your news item will show up on the top of the ToDo List! See the category page for further details on formatting.
(Note, only the 5 most recent bulletins will be displayed.)
