#399: Widget container HTML/CSS/JS development

jim — Sun, 04 Mar 2012 23:52:52 GMT

Based on:

JK has made the HTML container, initial CSS, and jQuery gubbins to make it all work. This allows the two widgets to be tested and developed accordingly.

To do:

LW to comment on structure/behaviour
ALL to test in various browsers/devices and report back
Code to be converted into Drupal module
Add to Git
Since the widget will need to be customised for the site it lives in (at a basic level), module will need to allow generation based on user's TN.org account
Testing!

Initial code attached, please test!

#508: Step by step process to convert web point of contact to widget owner

ed — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 18:49:16 GMT

We want this to work for the beta testers and every web point of contact going forward. Then we can assume it will work for anyone who is a web point of contact. In fact, once we have done this, the nag block described below will be there forever (until Ed removes it if they project doesn't work out).

RULE: Widget owners need to be the web points of contact for Transition Initiative Profiles on TN.org.

STEPS:

user receive an email with a link to login
user login and go to their user account page
user sees a block and clicks on the button in a nag block at the top of the right hand column like the 'add your project/initiative' block in other places: 'Want to add the projects widget to your website? <br> Click this button to set your permissions <button>' - !NB Ed needs to be able to edit this!
user goes to page with (1) pre-ticked widget owners mail chimp subscription and text 'please keep me up to date with changes to widget code and other related updates (no spam, we promise). Widget code will change so please don't opt out of this - we will need to update you' and (2) button for user to click to confirm that they want to be a widget owner which sets their role to 'widget owner' with the text 'Click this button to confirm that you want to be a widget owner. Agreeing to this means that you agree with the <link to T&Cs> Transition Network website terms and conditions</link to T&Cs>.'.
user goes to their user account page in the projects moderation tab - where they will see the 'not got a project widget yet? click to get one here…' link

#484: Puffin/Aegir SSL options

jim — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 21:05:25 GMT

Per other tickets, SSL setup certs now work (see ticket:478#comment:15), the actual secure redirects within Drupal are still to do. This is a blocker for now...

See:

Backgound: Do I need an extra IP address in order to deploy an ssl certificate?
More: Auto Forward to https with BOA
Best option?: Use extra config with new "/data/conf/override.global.inc/" file
(SLOW) Drupal module: Carry on using 443 Session

What do you think is best, Chris? My vote is for 3, with 4 as backup...

ie - they go to a page with a list of their widgets

#441: User remains logged in after closing widget

ed — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 19:58:47 GMT

After closing the widget with the close button (very nice), the user returns back to the TI site. And whatever. But they remain logged into the TN site. There is no function, either automatic or as an option to log out when leaving the widget.

If possible, it is best if closing the widget logs them out.

Possible?

#454: PSE NoScript Clearclick problem

chris — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 21:36:11 GMT

I realise that not many users of Transition sites will be running with NoScript, but if they do they will find they have clearclick warnings on the PSE full page widget, see the screenshot here:

https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/File:Noscript-clear-click.png

This was triggered on this page:

http://dev.transitionsheffield.org/projects/

#437: Error with summary field

ed — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 13:33:12 GMT

User gets this when trying to update profile: Looks like something is spilling out of the projects summary form - adding to PSE as it's connected...

JulianBriggs? (https://www.transitionnetwork.org/users/julianbriggs) sent a message using the contact form at https://www.transitionnetwork.org/contact.

Just updated my profile and got this:

You specified that the summary should not be shown when this post is displayed in full view. This setting has been ignored since you have not defined a summary for the post. (To define a summary, insert the delimiter "" (without the quotes) in the Body of the post to indicate the end of the summary and the start of the main content.) You specified that the summary should not be shown when this post is displayed in full view. This setting has been ignored since you have not defined a summary for the post. (To define a summary, insert the delimiter "" (without the quotes) in the Body of the post to indicate the end of the summary and the start of the main content.)

As a newby this means little. I just wanted to update my profile.

thanks
