RHS blocks changes for homepage

[ed]

Re-arrange/add/edit the RHS blocks to appear the order below

1. Why/how etc. : NO change
2. newsletter promo: NO change
3. POJDS book button: much smaller - can you set book image to lhs and buy button to rhs within block? might need a special .png to have both in it
4. Transition nearby button: NO change
5. New iT2 film promo button: needs a graphic
6. New TFP button: NEW: Trucie providing a graphic to fit in
7. Training button: NEW: Ed asking for training graphic to fit in
8. Social media promo button: NEW: needs some very modest SM logos to link to SM outposts FB and twitter

NB: Rob is only thinking of the homepage; Ed is not sure of the implications elsewhere on site... please advise on how/if this affects things elsewhere...

5. What's iT2? any resources for me to create button from?
6. Just need a bit more of a pedantic description of what you want here.

None of this needs to effect the rest of the site...

apart from ...

the buy the book block which appears:
<front>
ingredients
news
news/*
power-just-doing-stuff/*
why
what
how
where

Changing it will effect it wherever it is displayed of course, and as the height of the block would be significantly smaller

5. iT2:

​http://www.intransitionmovie.com/
(WP site being de-commissioned very soon; relevant content coming back to Tn.org)

8. Social Media stuff:

Rob wants to be able to represent the TN FB and twitter with the relevant logos. Sort of a 'follow us *here*' kind of thing. I'm grumpy about it, but hey ho. So I guess it's a way of making the twitter and facebook logos as small as possible, in a block with related links. Not wildly pedantic i know...

[benj]

5. better version of graphic here: ​http://www.intransitionmovie.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/tnmovie_logo.png

[benj]

5. am understanding I'd make a graphic using that logo and a screenshot from film of my choosing...

[ed]

5. sounds good

[ed]

I have added the training button as a button-block:
​https://www.transitionnetwork.org/admin/build/block/configure/block/90

It looks OK and I'm leaving it there, but it needs:

1. the image to be centred
2. re-setting the homepage context (I've lost the contexts for some reason) to make this button appear in the right position (ie below find)

[ed]

TFP logo appeared for TFP block - emailing to Ben

[ed]

Good work Ben,

Status: 2/12:

1. POJDS button to go below 'subscribe to newsletter'
2. Social media promo button: could be a neat little static button pointing to this:

... /syndication-and-social-media#social_networks?

[benj]

Hi Ed
Hope all's going well.
I just wanted to remind you that you were gonna let me know what to do on
this one... I sent you directly where I'd got to with buttons (locally),
but meanwhile you'd changed the plan to "2. Social media promo button:
could be a neat little static button pointing to this: ... /syndication-and-
social-media#social_networks?"
...I wanted clarification as to whether to change and do what you said, or
once you'd seen what I'd already done wether to just upload that, or to
combine them together (and add a more link??)
Ben

sorry Ben - I saw an image in an inbox and I can't re-find it - suggest phone call about this to get the best option and sort it

[ed]

as per phone call - proceed with button on Ben's local site with Tw and FB icons with links to new tabs for @transitiontowns and FB ​https://www.facebook.com/transitionnetwork (or however the facebook one works)

[benj]

adding 2 hours to the ticket took note of time elsewhere. I'm awaiting chris to help me login (don't know why but i have trouble with that - think it's a keychain issue on my mac perhaps) before I can push my local css up on to the sever and close this ticket.

[ed]

Great - I'll run the tech times now adding jim as cc as you are pushing css to server so just so he knows as he does an update this week...

[benj]

Buttons pushed and online. Happy with how they look?

[ed]

looking good - please can you move them so that they are directly underneath the 'subscribe to newsletter' button?

[benj]

done
