MKDoc 1.6 technology

The new 1.6 codebase has already been rolled-out with great success on a number of servers.

There have been many changes “under the hood” since the last 1.4 release; our programmers have been busy adding speed and ease-of-use enhancements as well as major new features such as workflow and discussion boards – All this with a simple backwards-compatible upgrade path that minimises disruption.

Features for visitors

MKDoc is particularly known for ease of use, clear navigation and clarity of presentation for documents. To complement this, MKDoc-1.6 adds many new features that allow visitor interaction with the system – Following are just some of these features.

Visitor account sign-up

When this setting is enabled, users can sign-up for an account with an MKDoc site, the process is painless and involves a confirmation email for a username and password. Signing-up for an account opens-up access to extended MKDoc features.

Hidden intranet areas

Any area of an MKDoc site can now be marked as hidden, this allows the creation of sections that are only accessible to users with an editor account – Providing all the functionality of a private intranet system within the standard MKDoc framework.

User discussion boards

Any MKDoc document can now have a fully threaded discussion board where signed-up users can post comments, questions and answers.

MKDoc discussion boards have a supervision system that utilises the standard IMAP internet protocol to moderate postings – Any IMAP client such as Microsoft Outlook can be used by editors to browse, delete or edit messages.

Optional homepages for users
