Food Services Now Available on m.ND.edu

Food Services IconOne of the most requested features to come through our feedback form has been the ability to view dining hall menus. So over the past month we worked with one of the developers from Food Services to do just that. The new Food section provides the ability to view the current and next day menus for both North and South dining halls. For your convenience, we’re also including a link to a site where you can check your NDFS account balance.

As always, if you have any suggestions, issues or feedback, please let us know.

m.ND.edu Homescreen Changes for Webkit Devices

If you visit m.ND.edu on a webkit based mobile device (iPhone, iPod Touch, Android) you may have noticed a new icon in the upper right of the home-screen. This icon allows you to switch between the original list view, and a new icon view. Functionally they are no different. And in case you didn’t know, there is also an icon in the footer on the home-screen that allows you to enable/disable and re-order the icons.

We also spent a little time reworking the overall interface of the site. While doing so, we added hi-res images to support the iPhone 4’s Retina Display (as well as all the other forthcoming high density displays).

As always, if you run into a bug, or simply have suggestions, please visit the “Feedback” section.

ND.edu Popular Sites Upgrade

One of the most popular features of ND.edu is the drop-down Popular Sites tool, allowing quick access to the top Notre Dame web destinations from the top of the page. Though InsideND is the official portal for internal University constituents, ND.edu is still the main launching pad for many students, staff, and faculty.

The new Popular Sites tool allows users to customize their own Popular Sites bar with the sites they most frequently visit. The set of choices has expanded from eight to over 20 options. The new feature also allows users to keep the drop-down open. This functionality requires cookies to save the user settings, and will be reset if cookies are cleared or a user changes browsers or computers.
