= IIRS Solution Design =

Please refer to the [[IIRS/ArchitectureOptions]] and principles therein.

== Features overview ==

The IIRS will be an add-on service with its own Drupal 7 install. This install will provide the means to:
1. '''Initiatives:''' A slimline Initiative content type, related views and maps etc that are synced with TN.org D6.
1. '''Users:''' Allow users to log in (to their accounts on the current D6 site), or register (with the new account synced back from D7 to D6).
1. '''Widget:''' Add, list and view initiatives via a widget.
1. '''Sync:''' post-moderated (pre-accepted) initiatives back to TN.org D6 via a web service, AND from D6 to D7 as edits happen there. 
1. '''Hub:''' Store 'National Hub profiles' that facilitate the translation and syncing of the UI and data.

== Drupal 6 site changes ==
1. New content type: "Transition Hub Profile"

== Drupal 7 site features ==

=== Distribution, Profile, Frameworks ===
1. Based on [https://drupal.org/project/panopoly Panopoly] for an excellent editorial experience out of the box. There is a lot of momentum around Panopoly in the Drupal world.
1. Theme based on Twitter's [http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/ Bootstrap (v2.3.2) framework] for a cross-browser, responsive, clean and deeply sexy starting point. There's loads of good resources and tools on the web for Bootstrap.
1. Lots of Drupal themes integrate with Bootstrap, but [https://drupal.org/project/radix Radix] is also gaining a lot of traction with distributions and works great with Panopoly, Open Atrium, Open Outreach and others.
1. [[https://drupal.org/project/debut Debut] will provide as much base features as possible, to minimise custom code and get a fast start on key features.
1. Will create a 'Transition National Hub' drupal install profile to allow this site to be built easily on the Transition Network server, and indeed on other interested parties systems.

=== Transition-specific custom Features & modules ===
@todo convert to table and list if each is able to be re-ised for D6, D7 IIRS or D7 TN.org
@todo create a diagram to show what features site where, and what depends on what...

1. '''Transition Network Core ''' - a feature wrapping all shared dependencies and extras needed to make the site(s) tick.
1. '''Transition Initiatives''' - a feature wrapping up a content type, some simple list-style views (user-facing and admin) and panels panes.
1. '''Transition Initiatives Widget''' - a module providing the widget (converted from the [https://wiki.transitionnetwork.org/Sharing_Engine D6 PSE project]).
1. '''Transition Users''' - a feature wrapping up a basic user account, plus some views (users-facing and admin). Need to decide if this is core D7 accounts, or needs Profile2 etc.
1. '''Transition * Services''' [where * is 'intuitive', 'user' etc.] - a feature for each core piece of data that contains relevant services including CRUD, views/lists and probably authentication.
1. '''Transition National Hub ''' - anything specific to national hubs goes here. Each 'Hub' content represents a national hub and has language(s), name, country, website and other data.
1. '''Transition Network Sync''' - a module that uses pluggable services (ini, user, project etc) to sync data back to the 'hub' D6 TN.org site.
1. '''Transition Translate''' - a feature/module that helps manage the translation of site content into various languages.
