Thanks Koromo for letting me know.

It makes for an interesting juggling act as to the systems to cater for. I will put some monitoring on the 'simple' search and search what range of OS and browser end up hitting it.

Hi Koromo

I was curious as to what hardware and OS you were using? (A Mac of some flavour I assume)

Thanks

Hi Sarndra

if you let me know which great grandfather you are after, I can send you a link to a scanned image of the cemetery plan and block in question.

Hi to all

there is now a 'lite' version for those who are restricted in regards to their connection speed at http://cem.rdc.govt.nz/CemeterySearch/default_lite.aspx
Not all of the functionality of the Silverlight version is available but a basic search is available.


The Silverlight version now shows when a plot location code is used more than once and you are easily able to work through and figure out burial order etc.

Please let me know if anyone has any problems

Regards

Hi to all

I have made some changes to the beta application that you might like to try. With Bryan1's assistance I have dealt with one of the searching issues that was occurring due to how the search was done.

Giving feedback more than once in a given session should also be working without  problems. The sending of the feedback should be a prompt process with no real delay.

As far as needing to download Silverlight again,  this should not occur unless there is an upgrade of the version of Silverlight required and I have only used Silverlight 3 in the development of this application.
One thing to check is that the Silverlight plug-in is enabled in the browser.
How this is done varies according to your browser.
FireFox 3.5.3 for example has it in  Tools => Add-ons => Plug-Ins
IE7 has it in Tools => Manage Add-ons => Enable or Disable Add-ons...


For those people who have searched for names and that have not come up, the data is only for those Cemeteries that Rotorua District Council controls plus the crematorium.
ie Kauae
Rotorua
Mamaku
Reporoa
Ngakuru
RDC does not hold records of the various urupa scattered around the District including Whakarewarewa and Ohinemutu.

If there are names that people have searched for that they expect to be in an RDC controlled cemetery then please let me know what they are and I will check as to why they are not being returned.

Please note also that the Search page does not exist as far as the main council website so don't bother trying to find it there.

Thanks for your assistance and looking forward to further feedback
