Transition Technology: Ticket Query

#646: Users denied access when trying to unsubscrbie

ed — Thu, 12 Dec 2013 10:16:23 GMT

I'm getting noticeably more complaints about users not being able to unsubscribe to email notifications for content or comment alerts and/or the newsletter.

The emerging pattern is that they are clicking on the unsubscribe link in their email alerts and going to an access denied page.

My sense says there's something in https/http? Or them not being logged in?

Something is definitely going on.

Adding this to Sam to pick up in January. SAM - tickets like this can bounce around the tech team a bit - stay on it!

#326: Usability changes as per the usability report

ed — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 11:10:37 GMT

Report has been circulated around ttech - to READ and then discuss - some will be phase 5 work, some will be the webmaster's responsibility...

#262: US users adding Ini profiles through the US site

ed — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 12:10:40 GMT

This is *the* big job for phase 4. The US is a pilot for other countries, and other content types. The aim is for TN to be able to publish project directory on TI sites, and enable anyone to add a project via the TI sites in the long term.

US user can add an ini profile to the US site which is also added to the TN directory
US site has a special map and directory view of US inis only (both muller and official)
US user can edit the ini profile via the US site (possibly not on TN site)
US user account: with TN or TUS? tbd
Creation of a 'slimline' user acct showing only 'critical data'?
Creation of a 'slimline' ini profile showing only'critical data'?
This is a pilot for other countries in the future
This process will be used in some way to enable anyone to add project information from and through TI sites
Fiddle with slimline user accounts and/or use third party process a la facebook/google/yahoo accts?
US has a US-only map view of users who are speakers

#794: Time estimate: change TN.org background image

ed — Fri, 10 Oct 2014 09:06:29 GMT

Rob is thinking about doing a 1970s editorial month, and would like a 1970s style 'naff' wallpaper.

Ben please can you provide a time estimate for replacing the tasteful blue dotty background with some semi-transparent paisley thing for a month, and then reverting to the tasteful blue dots

#662: Subscriptions' links in text emails breaking

ed — Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:37:13 GMT

for January - to get Sam and Jim talking - in January

The subs sent out to subscribers: are fine in html but the text version is broken and unsatisfactory. I know we've been through this and it's a known bug etc. etc. but I'm wondering if we can switch all subs to html, or if there are any patches to this problem?

Adding as Jim's ticket with Sam cc-ed

#514: Spam issues - users not being able to comment

ed — Tue, 12 Mar 2013 17:25:29 GMT

Ed is receiving a selection of users not being allowed to post since the spam changes. We are seeing a pattern now. Setting this ticket up - will add user details tomorrow.

#461: Spam account war

ed — Wed, 21 Nov 2012 16:19:10 GMT

Aim:

tell drupal (and server level stuff?) to sniff out and destroy spam accounts without them knowing we did it, and ban them from doing it again

Wiki page:

https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/Spam_accounts

#761: Spam account cull

ed — Thu, 17 Jul 2014 08:45:33 GMT

There are bucketloads of spam accounts swamping us. Spam commeting is swarming again. I just did several pages of deleting spam accounts. No doubt I nailed some humans too (sorry Sam if this comes back to you); but the overwhelming majority of new accounts are spam.

It's crap and we need to have another spam sweep - especially if we're staying in D6 for a while.

See work done in Feb 2013: #461 See wiki page done in Feb 2013: https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/Spam_accounts

SAM I'm going to suggest you start looking at it, and get your head around it, and the various modules and processes we've got running, then ask you to act/escalate accordingly.

#100: Show users' profiles on their personal profile page

ed — Mon, 21 Jun 2010 16:36:55 GMT

show a list of the projects and intiatives that users are involved with on their personal profile page

#516: Search: not showing events or initiatives

ed — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 10:16:41 GMT

Search for Woking from homepage. I know that there are two events and two initaitives with Woking in them. Neither are shown: https://www.transitionnetwork.org/search/node/woking

Advanced search does not bring them up either (ticking the initiatives box).

If I am in the initiatives section it returns the TIs though.

General search used to show TIs and events. Now it's only showing results of word searches.

General search needs to show TIs and events, and other nodes.

Please look into this.

#757: Research and Design for TNv3

ed — Fri, 11 Jul 2014 13:36:54 GMT

R&D for TNv3

#638: Question about notifications option for content creators

ed — Thu, 28 Nov 2013 12:32:57 GMT

Content creators (news, Rob's blog, social reporters) struggle with the notifications. the problem is that they forget to click the option to 'do not send notifications for this update' and then notifications are sent out. It is easy for us to think this is easy for them, but when you are bashing stuff out in a hurry, it's easy to forget this fiddly bit.

CAN WE set drupal to NOT send notifications out as standard for some of the content types?

And change it so that the content creators (news, Rob's blog, social reporters) choose to SEND notifications out instead (of NOT sending them) ?

#821: Projects forms being hammered by Spam

ed — Wed, 07 Jan 2015 09:53:33 GMT

Projects forms being hammered by spammers. I got 24 in the last 45 minutes.

What to do?

Lock off to a certain type of user?

Adding Sam as owner to follow this up

#513: Please clarify what is a widget user

ed — Mon, 11 Mar 2013 08:17:47 GMT

What is a widget user? What role is this? Please clarify?

#257: Path aliases not being created for non-English nodes - i18n issues

ed — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 13:24:21 GMT

WAS: "one resource not rendering URL"

can't make this puppy render a human URL: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/node/17135

#469: PSE project submission submitter cannot then edit their own project

ed — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 19:33:46 GMT

The user who has added a pse submission which has been approved cannot then edit the project profile when it has been approved. The webmaster who approved it can edit it.

This is not right - the user who added the pse submission which then got turned into a project needs to be the project owner.

The new project is set to the correct author. But that author doesn't have edit rights.

Project (unpublished): https://www.transitionnetwork.org/projects/test-user-3-test-project

#517: News widgets not working

ed — Thu, 14 Mar 2013 12:39:57 GMT

News widgets not working - noticed here: http://transitionfinsburypark.org.uk/

and here: http://wwww.edmitchell.co.uk

Checked by putting code from http://www.transitionnetwork.org/syndication-and-social-media into new widget - showing a blank.

News feed working here: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/news/feed

So must be widget code.

Adding to Jim, but is it Laura?

#304: Make the five star ratings filter-able in the resources directory view

ed — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 16:55:00 GMT

#127: Link checker module

ed — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 09:12:15 GMT

It would be very very handy to have a link checker of some form to check for internal and external links. Site editors are adding pages, navigation is changing etc. If possible, the link module would update links as they move internally, but that's a nice to have. Please install one and Ed can manage it.

Putting to critical to get it on, shouldn't take long...

#504: Images missing from widget and site in general

ed — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 16:00:39 GMT

Submit button missing from widget (see bottom right here: http://www.edmitchell.co.uk/blog/).

Quite a few images are missing from the site - profile pictures of people who don't have pictures as well.

Please have a look.

#783: IIRS design and development

#533: Five star ratings: remove from resources CT

ed — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 10:56:34 GMT

We aren't using the fivestar ratings from the resources CT. There were some problems with it ages ago. Remove them from the resources CT and interface (public and edit)

#384: Enhance Project Profile Content Type and directory

ed — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 23:25:32 GMT

Laura to re-design IA and interface for admin and public profiles for project profile CT and directory.

Considered as part of PSE Project, hence design in Jan, build in Feb 2012

#61: Directory search by postcode

ed — Thu, 13 May 2010 16:11:30 GMT

Searching initiatives and people and projects: Add postcode search function to filter (adam herriott)

(Ed hears that the .paf is now freely available from OS/Royal Mail (?)

#523: Database intergrity

ed — Tue, 19 Mar 2013 11:33:38 GMT

Following on from comment 4 of ticket 516 (https://tech.transitionnetwork.org/trac/ticket/516#comment:4) , I wanted to check the integrity of the field tables, so I crafted and ran this query:

SELECT count(cck.nid) FROM content_field_region cck LEFT JOIN node node on cck.nid = node.nid WHERE node.nid IS NULL

Which returned 1,173 rows. I then replaced the 'content_field_region' with other fields found on the user profile nodes (which have their own database table) so the full breakdown is:

content_field_region = 1173 content_field_initiative = 1165 content_field_themes = 6256 content_field_training_attended = 1165 content_field_roles_offered = 1285 content_field_other_websites = 1181 content_field_user_types = 1165

So what this means is there are around 1200 entries in field database storage for the above tables that do not have an associated node. This means the data is not properly referentially integral, and ideally these should be cleaned up one day.

The risk is low but it's worth doing a the rest of the audit (with the other fields that have tables of their own) and then cleaning these up at some point. These will have been caused by manual deletes and imports over the years. Drupal would normally keep these sorted but we've had to bypass Drupal a few times.

Or we can leave it as is and let the migration to Drupal 8 resolve this. The cost is a bit more database space and a slightly slower site... Though this *may* cause a bug or two.

#734: Create Trac & Wiki account for Annesley

ed — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 11:04:10 GMT

email: Annesley Newholm <annesley.newholm@…>

#264: Context changes

ed — Fri, 17 Jun 2011 12:23:53 GMT

As discussed at meeting. Contexts not really working. Blocks on a right all over the place. Perhaps need some new page layouts (?) or other piece of work with panels (?) to sort out.

One page to start with is the Training page (and subsection). Ed to meet Trainers and their marketing consultant on 21/6.

Jim please advise Ed what Jim needs to

#123: City name in personal profiles

ed — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 10:38:47 GMT

Please either:

add city name into the personal profiles as it is in initiative profiles

OR:

if it's a straightforward replicate from the initiative profile, tell ed this and he will do it

#636: Changes to Space.transitionnetwork.org homepage to facilitate user registration

ed — Wed, 27 Nov 2013 17:30:19 GMT

Space currently does not give users who aren't already registered a way in. Anon users can see some of the spaces but when they try to apply for membership, they hit a login page, which they can't complete as they are not registered.

RTFM for OA as to OA best practice - this is billable time. Then leave notes about it in wiki for later developers.

The homepage needs editing to sort this out. Here are some first changes:

2.1. Remove the 'Need the pros' pane (RHS) 2.2 Remove the 'Just getting started' pane (LHS) 2.3 Add a 'Request membership' pane which is basically a user registration form. Make registration 'approval only' for now, approval to be by a site admin (webproject@…)

The /spaces listings view shows the spaces that are publicly viewable, and there is a 'request group membership' button for each of them.

Can you make this into a registration form as well?

#738: Change 'ben' account to have Ben Jarlett as owner

ed — Tue, 10 Jun 2014 09:14:06 GMT

Chris: change the ‘ben’ account’s password Chris; change the ‘ben’ account to have 'emailme@…’ as the p.o.c. Chris? Ben?: change the ‘benj’ account to have ‘web project@…’ as the p.o.c. and Ed to forward anything vital if/when it comes up ALL to use only ‘ben’

#655: Add social media icons with counters to blogs listings views

ed — Thu, 12 Dec 2013 13:03:11 GMT

Investigate with Rob how to add Social media icons with counters into the /blogs listings views and individual node views.

I suggest starting with just Rob's blogs (/rob-hopkins), separate context for 'Transition Culture section' and then roll it out over other blogs and maybe news content type once the /rob-hopkins has been trialled

Sam to talk with Rob

Also cc-ing Ben as design - theme guy

#320: Add sitemap for site

ed — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 09:26:57 GMT

...

#626: Add redirect from an old CMS to a new URL

ed — Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:11:14 GMT

Can Ed add a redirect from:

https://www.transitionnetwork.org/cms/haddenham

to another URL easily? Or does he need to ask Chris to do it?

#661: Add button block to homepage RHS: Send us your news stories

ed — Tue, 17 Dec 2013 15:34:53 GMT

January:

Create button for TN homepage and /news and /blogs to encourage people to send in stories.

create button like the existing ones - e.g:

https://www.transitionnetwork.org/admin/build/block/configure/block/89?destination=newhome

add suitably pithy text

if in doubt about style, read Ben's style cheatsheet on google docs:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z6JYGiy8EJ6pqjm_WyNUS26fQgIClmIFg0a-8y-Mots/edit#heading=h.siua52eim2e9

this will need to be an email forwarder to send to Rob instead of a http link as per the other buttons, so you'll need to set one up on United's dashboard using the main 'jmcgeechan' account

cc-ing benj as he can be around to help with postitioning/button make if an issue - but can't do email forwarder set up - and don't forget sam - if you're too busy you can always farm it out to ben (although this is probably a bit easy for ben, he'll know about how to get blocks in the right order)

#735: Add Annesley to github

ed — Tue, 03 Jun 2014 11:05:40 GMT

Once Annesley is on TRAC, we can point him at this ticket, he can give us his github id and we can add it https://github.com/orgs/transitionnetwork/members
