disable blog module re-create the blog content type

ed — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 12:21:15 GMT

Please add a social networking toolbar to the SR blog posts - to enable users to 'tweet this' or 'facebook this' -

jim — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 19:14:04 GMT

"Social Reporting blog post" CT added, paths = social/[author-name-raw]/[yyyy]-[mm]/[title-raw] -
Fields added to CT: Stages, Themes, Video links (took the liberty of adding the last two, seemed sensible).
"social reporter blogger" role added, can create the above
New views panes 'Blog & Social Reporting teasers' and 'Blog & Social Reporting list' available to use in Panels pages.
3 panels set up (please note language for clarity of issue tracking!): SR Home, SR Blogger home and SR blog post page.
Breadcrumbs done
test SR page (non panels) http://www.transitionnetwork.org/social/transition-admin
Wrote custom Panels argument handler to take /social/[user-alias] and get the user object from it - pretty nifty if I do say so...

Test pages:

SR Home: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/social
SR Blogger home: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/social/transition-admin
SR Post :http://www.transitionnetwork.org/social/transition-admin/2011-07/jims-test-post

TO DO

SR posts included in /blogs view (very quick... need test data removed first)
"Social Reporter" link to blog feed on user's profile page
Start on all the other panes required in spec etc...

jim — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 21:08:06 GMT

Profiles now show if user is social reporter - e.g. http://www.transitionnetwork.org/people/jim-kirkpatrick
Map now pane available and added to /social page
SRs list added to /social (both this and previous rely on users being given 'social reporter blogger' role.
"More by [user name]" and "Latest reports" panes added to /social/[username] - e.g. http://www.transitionnetwork.org/social/transition-admin

Questions:

How do you want the 'featured editoral' and 'featured post' to work? (nodequeue, manually added via panels, 'promote this page' etc?)
Tag cloud? How 2005! We'll need a module to do it really: http://drupal.org/project/tagadelic - ok?
What editable bits? Might as well add these yourself, but very happy to go over them in Skype.
"widget with latest stories" - What do you mean widget? As in what Laura did before?
"blocks to put around the site" - What blocks are needed?

To Do:

SR posts included in /blogs view (very quick... need test data removed first)
Add feed

ed — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 08:50:14 GMT

only one thing left:

video embed as context needed - also needed for the training page, and bound to be used on the homepage...

ed — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 08:54:44 GMT

add a pane showing 'other posts in this stage' to go on story blog posts and the stage pages
associate the number to each stage where it's referenced

ed — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 08:55:52 GMT

add 'latest blogs from xx stage' panes to go onto SR homepage (and see 2 above)

ed — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 12:43:25 GMT

social media icons - tweet this and facebook this - as seen on:

http://www.thegreatcraneproject.org.uk/blogs/amy-and-roland/feathers-and-flight Laura says the 'social links module' ??

we could just start with facebook and twitter

laura — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 12:46:22 GMT

http://drupal.org/project/service_links is the module.

jim — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 22:01:23 GMT

'Social' now 'Stories' everywhere (I think!)
Video embedded - see http://www.transitionnetwork.org/stories/charlotteducann/2011-07/jims-test-post
To do
All stages checkboxes/views should now be shown with their number.
To do
module added to SVN, pending release to LIVE shortly (hopefully).

Issue: As you can see from my test post since I made Charlotte the author: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/stories/charlotteducann/2011-07/jims-test-post - SR bloggers MUST have a 'proper' user name, she/you will need to change it to "Charlotte Du Cann" from "charlotteducann". This rule applies to all bloggers, no way around it, soz.

So, just the 'blog posts by stage' views/panes and some styling to do... plus feedback and faff, obvs.

ed — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 08:46:24 GMT

charlotte's username duly updated -

jim — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 16:30:45 GMT

charlotte's username duly updated again - used proper capitalisation to avoid breadcrumbs looking like arse. Again, all SRs need proper, capitalised usernames.

Am doing the views by stage now.

owner changed from jim to ed
status changed from new to assigned

See: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/stories/charlotte-du-cann/2011-07/jims-test-post

Service links module up and enabled, added some of the bigger ones, more also-rans here: https://www.transitionnetwork.org/admin/settings/service_links/services
Blogs view for this stage added to stages: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/starting
And to individual stories post: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/stories/charlotte-du-cann/2011-07/jims-test-post
Blogs by stage added to RHS of /stories. All there, only 1 showing due to lack of stories.
Tagadelic (tag cloud) installed and on page... Not quite the ticket as it shows tags for a whole vocabulary... This means we EITHER create a new Tags vocab for just Stories posts, OR we install http://drupal.org/project/tagadelic_views and try another approach integrated with views. Ed? See 'more tags' for full TN tag cloud: http://www.transitionnetwork.org/tagadelic/chunk/2 - Ooooh!

I'm done for now, passing back your way for thoughts.

hmm. so with tagadelic we could have tag clouds for each of the CTs, right? that would be cool - if so, do it and we'll try it and see what happens - always was the plan for tags to tinker with them later. If not, pls explain.

jim — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 16:28:55 GMT

Tagadelic: allows a fancy block per vocab. However, 'Tags' is site-wide vocab, so the list of tags on the stories pages will not be representative of the stories section, but of the whole site.

So we can either add a new, empty "Stories tags" vocab specific to the new section and pages, or I can try to use the Tagadelic Views module to show just the stories 'cut' of the main site-wide 'Tags' vocab...

More soon, but in the mean time are we done bar the tweaking?

ed — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 19:33:55 GMT

Try to use the tagadelic views module to show just the stories cut of the main site-wide tags vocab if possible - that'll give us more flexibility for the future.

I think we're done bar the tags thing - I can't quite get my head around the layout but that will come...

ed — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 13:58:27 GMT

this alright then? using just showing the stories cut of the main tags?

jim — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:15:04 GMT

I'm going to try this other module (views tagadelic) out tonight and report back.

jim — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 20:10:43 GMT

(un)done.

It's a 10 second job to re-enable...

jim — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 20:11:40 GMT

WRONG TICKET -- sorry!

ed — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 20:16:45 GMT

hehe - ta

jim — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 23:34:02 GMT

http://drupal.org/project/tagadelic_views does the job... in SVN and should be on live tomorrow night.

jim — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 12:49:41 GMT

New views panes added 'Tag Cloud - small/medium/large' added that allows tag clouds for each content type. Small one added to the /social page in place of old one.
