A minor update to eHive was performed on 11th January 2011.
It included an enhancement to allow for searching on words with diacritics (accented characters) with or without the diacritics. For example, you can now search for accounts with the word “Tamaki” and eHive will find the gallery “” as a possible match.

The upgrade also includes two fixes:
- Edit My Profile – Public Profile – error saving if the latitude and longitude fields were empty
- Download PDF report – Label Report – the line between the header and the content sometimes overlapped the first record
We’ve been building in support for each account public profile page (museum directory page) to have an embedded Google Map showing their physical address. Today’s upgrade includes the bulk of the changes to support this. When you’re logged in, you can now go to Edit My Profile – Public Profile, and set a map location. This can be done by clicking the Geocode button (which gets the location from Google based on your public physical address) or by manually pasting in a latitude and longitude.
The latest eHive upgrade supports sorting of complex object numbers. eHive now stores the original object number entered and a formatted version which is used for sorting. You’ll see the new sort option on the search result page under Sort Records.
The Royal Logistic Corps Museum tells the story of logistical support to the British Army from the time of Oliver Cromwell to the present. Visitors can examine how over the last 500 years the soldier has been transported, fed, supplied with arms and equipment and kept in touch with loved ones. Exhibits include weapons, uniforms, medals and equipment relevant to the RLC (formed 1993) and its predecessors, whose collections are also held. These include the Royal Army Service Corps, Royal Corps of Transport, the Royal Army Ordnance Corps, the Royal Pioneer Corps, the Army Catering Corps and the Postal and Courier Service (Royal Engineers).
