Transition Technology: Ticket Query

#143: Location module not showing various locations

ed — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 09:50:04 GMT

The location module is an issue. Users in different places aren't able to find suitable regions to set for their initiatives, so can't set up their profiles. I've looked for a list of the regions the location module uses but found nothing so can't help them other than choose random regions in their countries, which they're not happy with.

Setting to high for reply from Jim so I can bodge it while we work out how the location module works and do something longer term

Denmark: Fejo - can't find correct region
France: Le Coteau de Plombières-Les-Bains en Transition - can't find correct region
Hong Kong: doesn't work at all

A: is there a list of the regions that the location module uses that we can refer to to bodge it?

B: is there a location moduel information page and ticket we can work with (if suitable?)

#187: Add/edit project profile page changes

ed — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 16:44:02 GMT

users are finding the project profile add/edit pages loooong. Please 'de-expand' the 'high level' options where possible - the goal is to get them to fill out at least a little bit on the top...

also the text entry boxes are massive. ed has tried to tweak this but they're huge

#211: Events listing page in CMS

ed — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 16:27:48 GMT

needs some alignment: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/cms/13601/events !

#180: Add JSON views for external services

ed — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 15:19:23 GMT

TN.org needs to be able to communicate with other websites and applications behind the scenes. This could ultimately be to share data with partner sites (e.g. search on Permaculture association returns TT initiatives), but is initially to return requests based on lat/long from the incoming mobile application.

Install and configure so that mobile application can send lat/long requests along with content types (people, projects, initiatives, events) and TN returns location specific responses.

#169: New event type: Initiative event (generated onsite)

ed — Tue, 09 Nov 2010 10:49:41 GMT

Initiatives want to add their events to the TN system onsite. We need an estimate on enabling this. Some details and comments from skype 14/9 (Jim and Ed):

Need new user role? 'Initiative event-adder'?
Use event fields as per 'initiative-event' type
Event also to be related to an initiative profile
Event to appear in 'initiative-event' stream in http://www.transitionnetwork.org/events/community along with CMS-generated events

(JK estimate 2,3 hours)

#212: news & blogs teaser views, links in titles

ed — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 14:20:32 GMT

make the listings pages for

/blogs /voices /news/community

show only a teaser for the item itself (ie not the full content). Teaser length: 200 chars including spaces

Also to show on all: title (linked to item, either on tn.org (/news, /blogs, /voices) or original location (/news/community) published date tags author link read more comment

and for /news/community: instead of author - show initiative title linked to profile page

#183: Design: transition near me tidy up

ed — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 15:48:11 GMT

The Transition Near me page needs a tidy up and overhaul. Ideally the introduction of panels so that admin can make specific tweaks (e.g. add/edit content types shown).

remove RH column for full width
keep editable section at top for admin to edit
Show the lists of all related content types in a coherent way
Related content types at this time are: news, people, projects, initiatives,

#223: Release & enable the Sharing Engine on DEV

jim — Fri, 14 Jan 2011 12:03:02 GMT

(Documentation pending...)

The sharing engine needs releasing to DEV, and so far I've done the following:

Added the files to SVN at /sharing-engine/trunk (see https://tech.transitionnetwork.org/trac/browser/sharing-engine/trunk)
Created a new /web/news.dev.transitionnetwork.org.webarch.net/www folder, checked out the files.
Created a new file (news.dev.transitionnetwork.org.webarch.net) under /etc/apache2/sites-available which started as a copy of the main dev.transitionnetwork.org.webarch.net but with the addresses updated.
Symlinked it into sites-enabled
Set up Drupal's settings.php with DEV DB settings
Put a dump of the database onto DEV at /home/jim/sharing-engine.sql in preparation to put into the db with a database name of 'dev_sharing-engine'.

What needs to be done/help please == Server-side

the Apache settings file doesn't appear to be being used - Chris, can you help? Is it because the main dev site has priority? When I go to http://news.dev.transitionnetwork.org.webarch.net/ I get the current dev site, not the news one.
importing the mysql db dump into the database (am doing this now)

Website-side

export of panels from my machine
testing, testing
feedback!!!

#209: Users in CMSs getting upate notifications: not wanted

ed — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 12:37:51 GMT

Complaints from users of CMS Haddenham where anyone who is a member of the CMS is getting notifications of updates. The system says they shoudln't be: https://www.transitionnetwork.org/admin/og/og

But they are. Please check this out. It's driving them bonkers.

#189: Design: directory homepages tidy up

laura — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 12:26:50 GMT

In general, the directory homepages could do with some love - making the tables neater, less 'clutter' and other laura-style action:

events
people
projects
initiatives

jk and lw to talk

#198: SVN & servers: Feed module update & rebuilding feed importer

jim — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 13:10:26 GMT

NOTE: This is not a requirement to move forwards, but is becoming ever more important... What we have works fine, but we have no upgrade path without significant work.

The Feeds module in use on LIVE is Alpha 11, and the module is now up to Beta 10 - so we're 15 unstable updates out of sync, 5 of which are Alpha updates that have non-trivially upgradable update paths.

In other words, this module has changed significantly over the past 6 months and John's feed importer that relies on it is very likely to be incompatible.

It might be easier to just uninstall feeds, re-enable and then try to fix John's Feed importer features... Or re-create.

#137: privacy option not working on user profile blog feed

ed — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 16:08:27 GMT

users adding their blog feed to their profile and choosing 'private' are seeing it on the public profile page, with this text linked to the blog feed: "'[field_user_website-title]' feed"

e.g. http://www.transitionnetwork.org/people/les-squires http://www.transitionnetwork.org/node/12937/edit

if a user opts to keep information private (ie not on their public profile, this needs to not show on the public profile.

#138: Blog feed in user profile editing page needs a 'title' field

ed — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 16:29:39 GMT

the blog feed in the user editing page needs a 'title' field as per the other options (e.g. website address). this would show in the public profile if the user chose to display it. (see 137: https://tech.transitionnetwork.org/trac/ticket/137)

#156: Separate type name from database entry on initiative profiles

ed — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 11:20:11 GMT

The initiative profiles' 'type' is intrinsically linked to its database entry: Local Initiative Local Coordinating Hub Regional Coordinating Hub

Please tweak this so the name and database entry are different (came up in conversations between jim and ed when adding the 'national hub' profile type...

#134: Breadcrumbs in workspaces incorrect and broken

ed — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 08:55:04 GMT

Breadcrumb broken in workspace: http://workspaces.transitionnetwork.org/ws/3/news

Shows [ogname-raw] » News » TTandC (orgs) practitioners' community News

Should show the workspace name.

Bot ogname raw link and news link are broken

#217: Include 'add to newsletter' on patterns pages

ed — Wed, 05 Jan 2011 16:14:22 GMT

ooops just noticed the auto-add-to-newsletter nodequeue text isn't on patterns. please add...

#210: CMS events not showing local time: seem to be referring to site's standard time

ed — Thu, 23 Dec 2010 16:25:02 GMT

The CMS site reverts events added in Australia to UK time: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/cms/bellingen

Where it should stay as their local time. I have checked this and the system thinks it's keeping local time, so not sure what's going on. Bunging into phase3, sorry, as it's a critical problem for the users...

User feedback: I looked at the events and I see spotlighting 2-4 am on 1 April and seedsavers as all day on 3 feb.

A couple of minutes later after logging out, closing firefox and then opening it again and getting micros sites ,the events at the bottom of home page shows spotlighting at 2-4pm on 31 mar and seedsavers as 1pm on 2 feb.

spotlighting event: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/cms/bellingen/events/2011-03-31/spotlighting

seedsaving event: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/cms/bellingen/events/2011-02-03/bellingen-seed-savers

#213: Add RSS feed for CMS's news

ed — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 14:22:41 GMT

add automatic RSS feeds for CMS news feeds (one feed per CMS)

(Ed note: this will be manually added into the Initiative profile pages which will mean that the CMS news feeds are adopted by the SE)

#199: Clearer differentiation between comments

ed — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:08:15 GMT

Commenters need clearer differentiation between comments which are hard to tell which one you're replying to - atm they appear as one long block where it's not clear which comment has which functionality - can you add a separation between the comments?

e.g.: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/blogs/josh-ryan-collins/2010-11/transition-currency-20-online-banking-system-local-money#comment-906

http://www.transitionnetwork.org/patterns/outreach/meaningful-maps#comment-901

and the forums

#182: Add location request to TN.org

ed — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 15:35:46 GMT

At the moment, the only way for users to see transition activity by location is to use the maps, or register, add their location, and use transition near me.

Add the facility for all users to add their location (postcode or town name) in an input field on the site and to return their local:

people
initiatives
projects
events
news (community news drawn from the sharing engine and localised by relation to the initiative profile)

This will require a:

new page with associated layout (can be shared template with transition near me?)
design work to put the location input field into the site
changes to location module (?) to enable this?

...

#197: SVN & servers: Module updates

jim — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 13:09:55 GMT

Update SVN to the latest modules
Add required modules (Services, oAuth, Multicolumn Checkboxes, Autoload etc)
Test updates locally
Push to DEV
Test
Push to LIVE
Get CAS and Services stuff working
decide on best process for Feeds module update.

Caveat The Feeds module in use on LIVE is Alpha 11, and the module is now up to Beta 10 - that's 15 unstable updates TN.org is out, 5 Alphas have non-upgradable update paths. This module's updates need their own ticket.

#167: Design: remove RHN from all node editing in CMS and workspaces

ed — Mon, 08 Nov 2010 17:54:42 GMT

Design: remove RHN from all node editing in CMS and workspaces

#194: add individual RSS feed per individual blogs

ed — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 12:16:13 GMT

please add RSS feeds for individual blogs - if a big faff, only a couple which ed can identify easily...

#190: Design: indents and bullets alignment

laura — Tue, 30 Nov 2010 12:43:12 GMT

Ben is having problems with the text editor not aligning bullets and indents in the way he wants. His blog post is here: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/blogs/ben-brangwyn/2010-11/testing-text-formatting

#154: Changing transition 'theme' from 'heart and soul' to 'inner transition'

ed — Mon, 25 Oct 2010 09:30:49 GMT

what work is required to change the name of the theme:

from 'heart and soul' to 'inner transition'

I'm guessing if I just change it, there will be a bit of tinkering...

#186: Design: remove RHN from all /user pages

ed — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 15:58:22 GMT

all the /user/ pages have the right hand navigation which is unneccesary and clunky. please remove. (also seen at 183: https://tech.transitionnetwork.org/trac/ticket/183)

#188: Event naming change

ed — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 16:55:48 GMT

We are using the 'imported event' type for 'partner events'. http://www.transitionnetwork.org/events/partner. This comes from our earlier references as these types of event were originally intended to be aggregated (where they are now generated onsite)

This is working great but the use of the word 'imported' is confusing people - we need to change the named references on the site - wherever it says 'imported event' we need it to read 'partner event'.

#158: Add 'Diversity and Inclusion' as theme to Transition Themes

ed — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 13:02:04 GMT

Add 'Diversity and Inclusion' as a 'Transition theme', with related views and tickboxes in content types etc.

For phase 3

ED looking to confirm *exact* wording.

#145: Image upload inconsistency for CMS: says 100x100 - 300x300 but only accepts bigger pics

ed — Wed, 13 Oct 2010 15:59:41 GMT

The image upload/display logo function is wrong (for CMS definitely, not sure about elsewhere) - users can't get their logos to display on their CMSs.

It says it only allows images 100x100 - 300x300 but only seems to allow images much bigger (which it then re-sizes to 100x100). Can't see how to tweak this myself...

#163: re-instate 'themes' into Community News and Community events items in CMS

ed — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 17:01:08 GMT

themes disappeared from Community news and Community news items since Ed last wrote a 'handy illustrated guide' (ie not sure when, but expect it was around the workspaces time).

please re-instate 'themes' into Community News and Community events items in CMS

#222: Filter formats: CMS items content does not align

ed — Wed, 12 Jan 2011 12:19:11 GMT

Further to the WYSIWYG in the CMS having buttons that don't work, I have stripped the 'filtered html' buttons to the following: https://www.transitionnetwork.org/admin/settings/wysiwyg/profile/1/edit

As discussed with Laura, it is useful to enable filtered html users to align their text. So I have kept those buttons in. But the CMS theme strips out all alignment.

Can you enable (left, central, right) alignment in all CMS items?

Is this a Laura job? Or a Jim job?
