Landing pages for Stages

[ed]

Each ingredient has a stage. These stages will be used to help users navigate though the content - as a launching point. Not unlike the /theme pages - re-presenting all content associated with that stage.

Title: stage name
Editable introduction field with WYSIWYG
Panels showing all related content types related to that stage. Currently:

• Resources
• Ingredients
• Tools

Design: Laura to work with the book designer to find some coherence with the book. There may be colour coding in the book per stage - is this useful for us?

We may roll this out across the other content types in phase 5, but let's start with this.

related to #265

modest wireframe here:

[jim]

Stages now set up - e.g. ​http://www.transitionnetwork.org/ingredients/first

Not sure that Stages should actually be sub to ingredients - if they're referenced everywhere then logically they're top level or under /stages/[title]?

Anyway, on to the Panels...

[ed]

Hold on! It should be

tn.org/[stage-name]

This is separate to the ingredients URLs

[jim]

URL done, panels done pending proper layout: ​http://www.transitionnetwork.org/first

What's needed? I suppose tomorrow morning's meeting will answer that... Reassigning for now...

[ed]

The landing pages will show to start with for that stage:

1. ingredients
2. resources that are related to that stage
3. tools

Need to change the resources to relate to stages and necc. changes to:
​http://www.transitionnetwork.org/resources
NB: some of the resources are already related to the now defunct 'phases'...

in the long term, the aim is to include:

people
projects
initiatives

... as you might imagine...

So not much for now on the landing stages; this is a bit like the gradual emergence of the theme pages - i'll have a look at the ingredients.. also just found out that the ingredients won't go wholly live until September owing to relationship with publisher, so we'll be releasing tasters here and there in a marketing stylee...

so let's see how the addition of ingredients, tools and resources goes

[ed]

the stages will have the following names:
Starting out (could be URL 'starting')
Deepening
Connecting
Building
Daring to dream (could be URL 'daring')

it's good the ingredients and tools can be related to >1 stage as it's all quite cyclical...

[jim]

Perms fixed: You (editors) can now add/edit Stages/Tools/Ingredients? like any other page.

[jim]

FYI added stages as above.

[jim]

Done... Now waiting on #263 for new layout...

[jim]

• 'hometus' 4 col layout applied - only partly used
• New Resources by Stage view added, pane added, currently empty
• See ​http://www.transitionnetwork.org/starting
• Ed: What do you mean 'Support' in your wireframe? There's no Stage refs on anything apart from Tools, Ingredients and Resources...
• Custom breadcrumbs in, bit odd IA though.. "Home » Ingredients of Transition » Starting out" where Ingredients points to /ingredients - got any better ideas? Do we need a new /stages view (then it's surely a mirror of ​http://www.transitionnetwork.org/ingredients)?

Ed?

[ed]

move to three col layout for stages landing pages

Ed to add content now and discuss with totnes crew next week and at least one resource for each stage

[jim]

Three col in place, views tweaked (especially Resources).

I'm done, I think - over to Ed for final bits...

[ed]

looking damn fine. TODO:

1. Ed to get head round breadcrumb issue, run by staff at TN, advise (may not happen in this phase, we'll have to see)...

[ed]

AGREED: Jim Ed skype - hierachy to set to:

1. stage
2. asset (tool,ingredient)

for URL and breadcrumb

[jim]

As per ticket:284#comment:3 this is hopefully done. See that ticket for last changes - and please stick all breadcrumb/AI issues in that one.

Done and closing...
