The Buzz #16

The all new Kōtuia ngā Kete website has now launched. Formerly the NZ Museums community at nzmuseums.co.nz and on eHive, the new site brought to us by the National Services Te Paerangi team at Te Papa Tongarewa brings a new look and improved ways to connect Aotearoa New Zealand’s cultural collections.

Details for your organisation’s profile are still managed through your eHive account so make sure you’re up to date!

We’re continually making changes to the eHive platform to make it better for you to use. Over the past few months we’ve worked on a few key areas. Firstly, if you are a WordPress plugin user, the eHive plugins have all had an overhaul to bring them in line with some of the technology changes introduced across the WordPress environment.

We have also made a subtle change to how indexing works enabling any Object names which feature macrons to appear in the correct alphabetical order.

Finally, after many years of hinting, we have removed the old ‘eHive ID’ method of logging into eHive. This means logging in is now via email address and password only. The eHive team did a little happy dance, but if you do have any issues logging in, please get in touch with us and we’re always happy to help!
