#195: Data tidy up: Rename content types & fields

jim — Wed, 08 Dec 2010 17:14:24 GMT

The site's evolution and meandering path towards its current state has left many of the content types and fields having names that do not match their function, or are slightly inaccurate etc.

E.g. field_profile_related = "For initiative"

Note the text name shown to users is fine, it's the machine name that's a mess or unclear. There are lots of these around the site.

E.g. initiative_event = "Community Event"

Again, now we have initiative_event_external for "Initiative Event" (see #153), it's a mess.

Content types can be renamed with knock-on effects in Views, Context and a few other modules.
CCK fields can be renamed with http://drupal.org/project/cck_field_rename

Not super important, but certainly a consideration going forward as the site is moving slowly but surely away from 'self documenting'.

#445: Make PSE submissions their own CT rather than using Projects

It turns out the approach I went for originally to save a little work cost us more in the long run, so we need a part of the PSE rebuilt...

Ideally we'd get the PSE to submit a new content type and map the submission back to a 'proper' project when the moderator accepts.
Since I've already written the code to take another form and convert to a Project, I might as well make the new CT plug into the existing stuff.
All the work I've done so far is modular, and able to be tweaked and reused...
As is the code that 'accepts' a project during moderation.

So the changes to fix the issues in several other tickets are:

Add a new CT called 'PSE submission', set up permissions accordingly.
Change existing moderations views to use the new CT.
Move the 'Needs Moderation' field from Projects to PSE submission CT
Various small code fixes.
Testing.

This makes the following tickets become obsolete/duplicates of this: #428, #430, #444, #439 -- will update them accordingly.

I'll make a start now, finish up tomorrow.
