Improvements

Searching across multiple websites

Currently, when a search is carried out using the the search functionality built into a Haiku website the search only looks through the website that the user is currently visiting. Although this is normal for a website, in turn it can be quite limiting when there are multiple websites that contain a variety of content that may also be of interest to the user carrying out the search. With this is mind, we propose to update the search functionality within Haiku to allow users to search across more content than just that of the website that they are visiting. We propose to develop this functionality in a flexible way, that will allow site administrators to define which websites users are able to search in addition to their own. One use case may be that this is useful for departmental websites to allow the search on their site to be used to search research unit/group sites that are related to them. Another use case for this functionality is that it will help the divisional website to drive more traffic to the departmental websites that are also on Haiku. Please note that the final designs for this functionality are subject to change as we define the functionality for multi site searching further.

Images/documents libraries

AS A SYSTEM I WANT a simple section type for the images and documents libraries that make it simpler and more intuitive to manage SO THAT I can provide a better user experience.

AS A SYSTEM I WANT to have a new images section that prevents any users from copying the images section in its entirety SO THAT there is no chance of duplicating the images library without a very clear reason.

AS A SYSTEM I WANT to have a special view for the images and documents libraries that makes it easy to navigate and find an image using tags or categories SO THAT I can provide good usability.

AS AN EDITOR I WANT to be able to use metadata to sort images and documents rather than folder structures SO THAT it is easier to manage and find the images and documents as well as allowing for better filtering.

AS AN EDITOR I WANT to be able to edit as much as possible about the images and documents inline, rather than having to individually click into the item SO THAT I can make the edits quickly and efficiently.

Using images in the system

AS AN EDITOR I WANT to be able to select between the original image or a 16x9 image ratio for all listings SO THAT I can have consistent imagery across my website.

AS AN EDITOR I WANT to be able to show the image accreditation in all locations where the image is used SO THAT I can ensure that I am referencing the image properly across my website.

AS AN EDITOR I WANT to find more contextual help for images across the website SO THAT I can use the best imagery possible to show off my website.
