Tighter Integration for OpenBrolly Databases

OpenBrolly Integration OpenBrolly has released a new version of its database integration software offering tighter integration with our clients’ existing web presences. It also offers an improved mechanism for our clients to distribute their content on third party sites from MovieSite and TouristSite.

Search forms, search results and all database content can all now be integrated directly into third party web sites and portals. For example, a tourism marketing organisation could offer nearby attraction listings to its member businesses to display on their web site, updated in real time. A screen agency could provide a dynamically changing selection of locations on an industry portal.

Key advantages:

More control over the look of the site by site designers
Your database content becomes part of (virtually) any web site – change the look or navigation of your site without penalty.
More control for web designers
Leading edge search tools possible – on site widgets, fast retrieval of search results, offline mode

Information for MovieSite Users using a Mac

During testing, we have become aware of a potential problem with Firefox version 3.5.x (the latest versions) on OS X. As far as we can tell this does not affect Windows users, although we’re still testing this.

The bug in Firefox can cause a small number of pages on MovieSite versions 1 and 2 to “hang” indefinitely and appear not to load. The problem also affects major sites such as Yahoo! and LinkedIn.

If you encounter this problem, we recommend you use Safari meantime.

Best wishes,

David

Service Update – 9 Oct 09 (10am)

As you may be aware, a major road traffic accident caused damage to our Forres datacentre’s connection to the Internet.

We have invested in backup capacity and were able to switch to this immediately. We continue to run on this, and there is no disruption to services. We are running below the capacity of the backup line and therefore there should not be any performance issues.

Demon, the service provider, has not yet provided an estimate for restoration of the main connection so we will continue to run using backup capacity until further notice.

In related news, an upgrade is planned for the main fibre optic connection. While we are currently operating below capacity, we will ensure that we are ahead of the curve of future growth.
