Permissions and urls done

Custom breadcrumbs
'related X' blocks as Ed imagines they'll be
A decent Panels layout (perhaps based on TUS's homepage 2/3/4 col dream as a good container layout)

Need Ed's feedback and layout ideas (plenty of my own, but wanted to hear the plan from the horse's mouth)...

And this is no longer a blocker since the CTs now exist.

Layout ideas I've had are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/edmittance/5852663197

Open to suggestions from JK, LW

Happy with panels to date so would enjoy tinkering with them.

Design with LW - to bring gently closer to book, TUS, training screengrab, all a bit trendier, white-er etc.

Must be able to be printed on one sheet of A4

ed — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 10:30:57 GMT

need:

add an 'add more' option for 'related ingredients' (two way relnhp)
add 'related resources' function (two way relnhp)

status changed; resolution set

Done.
Done and made to correspond with the mirror on Resources. (2way)

status changed; resolution deleted

jim — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 10:53:08 GMT

status changed from closed to reopened
resolution fixed deleted

Didn't mean to close this one..

Still to do:

Stage page: /ingredients/[stage-name] vs /[stage-name] --- Ed, is the original spec changed now you want the stages separated?
Custom breadcrumbs
'related X' blocks as Ed envisages they'll be --- Ed?
To import the TUS panels layout to use generally around the site (waiting on #265)
Laura's love once the layout is available.
Responding to feedback.

ed — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 11:26:30 GMT

Errm, forgot to add:

they all have numbers - we need numbers
they will need to be presented in a numbered list as the patterns were, within their stages (see the book sample i sent over if you haven't burnt out your eyeballs yet)

Answers:

stage page: the stage landing page needs to be tn.org/stage-name, the ingredients need to be /ingredients/stage-name/ingredient-name

related blocks as per the outline above:

Blocks on RHS (driven by whether two-way relationships have been added by editors. If no data, do not show block, visibility and position to be moveable by Ed)

Related Ingredients
Related Tools
Related Projects
Related Resources
Comments to this ingredient

layout - shall we discuss this on skype - after the https skype tomorrow perhaps?

ed — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 11:44:49 GMT

fyi ed just changed the auto-url for first and last stages

from: 'starting-out' to 'starting' from: 'daring-to-dream' to 'daring'

ed — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 11:51:00 GMT

hmm, i can't get the ingredients to show the shortened url: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/ingredients/starting-out/inclusion-and-diversity

i have made the url for the stages to the shortened version, but it's not coming out here.

jim — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 12:09:18 GMT

Numbers added
Views work to do - and /ingredients is messed up, really needs a panel page created - will after lunch.
Paths sorted
Layout still waiting for #263
'Blocks' as Ed describes them should in fact be panel panes I reckon... That way we start to not have to worry about Context.

ed — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 12:20:57 GMT

things ed's noticing for discussion:

is it sensible to limit the 'description' field to a specified number of chars so that it looks uniform on the page?
pls raise the size limit of images to 3MB
All photos have a caption - would be good to include that in the page design
Blocks: as you see fit, yes probably panes are better

jim — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 15:36:05 GMT

Ingredients page now panels-based: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/ingredients - a starting point.
Made 'Description' max 300 chars
Filesize -> 3Mb.
Created a new view with a caption, replaced plain image. So that's done.
Layout/blocks still waiting for #263

Done for now...

ed — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:18:35 GMT

need to organise the ingredients by their numbers (may not be any in there yet, numbers added mid-content adding today)
going to need a shiney 'buy the book' button/block/ad thing to help with the marketing effort in the run up to the book
all agreed - ingredients won't go live until very close to book launch. will be 'teaser' style marketing in advance in some way to encourage sales of book in some way...

ed — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:23:51 GMT

bug: when adding two pictures, only the first one shows:

http://www.transitionnetwork.org/ingredients/starting/creating-space-inner-transition

might need to show ingredient number in public page

jim — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:51:19 GMT

Ingredients ARE organised by number, but no number set yet. Do they need displaying (on /ingredients) or is the sort we have in place ok?
Laura!
Since they're not going live for a bit I've set Ingredients to UNpublished by default - ok?
ALL Pictures now display, plus I've added a little spacing between them.
Number added to display for now... Could be in main page title - e.g. "8 - Doing the boogaloo"?

ed — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:56:55 GMT

cool, just checking - it's good for now, ta
yes, she's cc-ed to this ticket
good thinking
nice
yes, could be in main title, but that would intefere with the URL, no? I'm guessing they'll want it somewhere (including the /ingredents and '/ingredients/stage-name' pages

(one for a chat after chris skype tomorrow)

jim — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 17:59:23 GMT

I would suggest NOT putting the number in the URL as it adds nothing. However, each Panel page can have it's own title, and that can be based on any fields in the node, title included.

So the number (or anything else) can go in the title without affecting the URL.

ed — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 18:01:58 GMT

I would not suggest putting number in URL either. Very handy panel page thing. Keep that as an option, please.

jim — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 23:19:36 GMT

Custom breadcrumbs done, and following on from Stages (#266), look like "Home » Ingredients of Transition » Starting out » Coming together as groups" with links to /ingredients and /starting respectively.

ED: bung in content, get used to breadcrumb confusion - run by rob/amber/ben

jim — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 17:10:27 GMT

(as discussed on #280)

See: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/ingredients/starting/jims-test-ingredient for all the RHS related blocks of dreams: Tools, Ingredients, Projects, Resources AND Training.

Will that do? Not sure about the constant use of the word 'Related'...

owner changed

ed — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 15:56:15 GMT

owner changed from ed to jim

as discussed on skype: word related can be made into the RH column title
missing: link from description teaser to 'full description' is required
missing: 'recent comments' block for ingredients section to go into RH column in section
not forgetting the 'print the summary as A4' option

ed — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 16:01:05 GMT

please make the listings in stages and ingredients NOT have bullets

jim — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 20:40:23 GMT

Ed has control via Panels...
link added, see http://www.transitionnetwork.org/ingredients/starting/jims-test-ingredient 3a. Are these comment titles comments for the WHOLE ingredients section, or just the one being viewed? I reckon the 'comments at the bottom' default is the best bet here, so I'm guessing you mean the former? 3b. Dumb link added... Gonna need some style overrides to fit it on a single sheet - see attached output PDF.
No bullets now.

ed — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 10:30:42 GMT

3a. yes - I'd say comments on individual ingredients go into 'comments at bottom, last comment at top' as standard. A 'recent comments to ingredients' block would show all comments to ingredients. 3b. Laura to do - we'll need that 'print this page' link to be a little more prominent (but Rob might get cold feet and ask for it to be less blatent, having asked for it originally!)

ed — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 15:42:16 GMT

http://www.transitionnetwork.org/ingredients

each stage needs to have a little field to add a short explano-blurb under the stage title (because we don't have a /stages homepage

jim — Thu, 30 Jun 2011 17:56:54 GMT

Comments section added, plus view to all recent comments for ingredients
Laura's on the print style sheet case.
Explano blurb added, though there is now /stages as discussed before.

I reckon this ticket is done for me now, just styling and tweaks left...
