Website To-Do: Content Types

Critical:

Pending:

1. Continue looking into additional workbook tools, specifically:
   
   • Alphabetical index of '''all''' workbook pages
   • Add number of links to each item in Wanted Pages
   • Add field for editor to most recently changed workbook pages
   • Add direct link to revision history for recently changed pages
   • Add lists of Orphaned Pages and Dead-end Pages # Re-order and streamline workbook links and hierarchy

Complete:

1. Re-install "publish to front page" option for all content types (2/4/08)
2. Make "Collaboration" and "Workbook" consistent (2/4/08)
3. Change "forum topic" to "discussion topic" in "create" master list (and throughout site), make clear that user is creating a new post to an existing discussion, not creating a new discussion space (2/11/08)
4. Add diff function to revision tab on pages. I.e., clicking on the Revisions tab on pages where it's enabled will give you the full list of version, plus buttons to make a side-by-side comparison of any two versions, complete with highlighted changes. Particularly useful for revisable content like workbook pages. (2/16/08)
5. '''Add special wiki pages (WantedPages, WantedCategories, etc.) to workbook''' ''-- wanted pages is done, additional workbooks tools may be forthcoming'' (2/16/08)
   
   • Add "Workbook tools" menu that shows on all workbook pages. Currently contains list of currently available freelinks (i.e., links in workbook pages to content not yet created) (2/16/08)
6. Why does it say "Sign up for [news item title]" at the end of the post? This seems confusing. ''Admin: This was a simple mistake in the way I set up the content type -- only events are supposed to have sign-ups. It's fixed.'' (2/17/08)
7. Add ability for all users to create a "document" so that "news" doesn't become the default. (3/2/08)
8. Got rid of "document" content type, as its use simply duplicated what users are using the blog for. (7/15/09)
9. Got rid of the old discussion forums, as they were never used and consumed a lot of web resources. (7/15/09)
10. Consolidated content creation pages as subheadings under the relevant content types. (I.e., click "Blog" on the top menu to either view blog postings or create a blog posting). (7/15/09)
11. Put "Upload an image" link in each of the above content areas, so users will have image upload immediately accessible before they create a new post. (7/16/09)

Non-critical:

Pending:

1. Review and customize event settings
2. Review and customize input formats (incl. formatting issue with forum/listserv) ''-- not done yet, but I think the gray background in emailed forum posts lives in one of the stylesheets'' (2/15/08)

Website To-Do: General

Critical:

Pending:

1. Block display per section In other words, keep the full display for blocks with lists of recent content, etc., only on the front page. Once users navigate past the front page, they should see a reduced set of blocks that pertain to the particular section they're reading/working in. This should improve readability/navigability (per Rob Halpern's suggestion). See this page for suggestions on how to code block visibility for different content types.
2. Add group blogs/workbooks/workspaces/contact forms Check out the [http://drupal.org/project/og Organic Groups module] for this function
3. Website use FAQ and/or contextual help menus
4. Email notification of new content (separable by category, e.g., only events) or by group membership
5. Check column widths, esp. with images

Complete:

1. Turn on stat tracking (2/4/08)
2. Build recent posts block (2/4/08)
3. Turn on mass email access ''(install Mass Contact module for this function)'' (2/4/08)
4. Set up individual user contact forms (2/5/08)
5. Rebuild image galleries to comply with new taxonomy system (2/6/08)
6. Clean up "User Tools" menu and main navigation bar (2/15/08 -- including direct link to all curricula, organized by topic)
7. Move Nonsite Draft Proposal to "Nonsite Publications," or ditto there. Admin: This is already done with the document (i.e., non-editable) version of the proposal. The one that's open to revision isn't labeled as a publication because I was thinking we'd need some sort of consensus among participants that, after a certain number of edits, we were ready to treat it as the "second edition."
8. Per user request, moved login box out of colored bar at top of page. (2/26/08)
9. Per user request, substituted simpler logo. (2/26/08)
10. Per user request, simplified color scheme (single color range, less distracting). (2/26/08)
11. Per user request, got rid of site tagline, pending input from users (online or in face-to-face meeting) on an appropriate text. (2/26/08)
12. Per user request, got rid of splash page w/ image grid. (2/26/08)
13. Figure out why the captcha challenge isn't working with event signups. (2/29/08) Needed new version of signup module, which fixed this bug
14. Can you remove the language that reads "Please contact the event organizer if your plans have changed." I don't think this is necessary. (3/2/08) Done. Because I set up these events, you weren't able to edit this setting -- I thought it was best not to allow people to edit other people's event signups. However, as you set up your own events going forward, the automated message for signups is something you can set and edit yourself. Click to edit the posting, scroll down to "Signup settings" and enter text for confirmation and reminder messages.
15. Place "User Tools" as an option on the main toolbar above page content in order to open screen space for viewing actual document. (3/10/08) Admin: This took some doing, as the "User Tools" menu doesn't have a preference setting that allows it to be moved to a page rather than a sidebar, and the top navigation bar has to point to pages. Had to write a bit of code in the new "User Tools" page to get the display to work correctly, but it should be functioning now.''
16. Installed new category browser, plus links to user account and any web admin functions for which the user has permissions, in a box at the top left of the page. Once the taxonomy re-tagging project is complete (see Website To-Do: Taxonomy), this will provide a dynamic, hierarchical menu for quick access to all website content. (7/18/09)
17. Swapped out category browser for more functional version. Previous version was causing Javascript timeouts, plus graphic interface was different from other nested menus on the site and was a source of possible user confusion. New version is based on the Taxonomy Menu module, but required some custom code editing as original is written for PHP 5 and our site runs on PHP 4.something. (7/27/09)
18. Fixed Javascript typo that was causing an error upon creation of new posts. (7/28/09)
19. Fixed "My Blog" link under "Blogs" in main menu. (7/28/09)

Non-critical:

Pending:

1. Create custom sub-themes for sections
2. New favicon
3. Review and customize actions
4. Review and customize user profiles
5. Add super-user role and review other roles
6. Fix image display issue in user list ''(user images spill over the outlined section for each user)''
7. Has amy's new "logo" disappeared? ''Need more information on this. It's still showing for me, at work and at home, and logged in as myself and as an anonymous user.''
8. Eventually, we'll want to make the use of caps in the sidebars consistent. I'd like to do this, but a lot of those headings are being generated from within code, rather than from preferences that I can simply set from within a menu. I've marked this as time-consuming for that reason -- there's a lot of detective work involved.
9. Let's eliminate the "start" and "time zone" info at the top of every heading. ok? This should start going away on its own, now that users have access to posting documents as well as news. It makes sense to keep it for time-linked content like News and Events, though. Let me know if you're seeing this at the top of documents or workbook pages, because it's not supposed to be there.

Complete:

1. Re-sized and reformatted sidebars (less horizontal space, small fonts)
2. Reformatted center text container to clarify divisions between items (2/11/08)
3. Re-do color scheme using web color guide (2/11/08)
4. Added listserv subscription option from user profile (i.e., no need to go to a separate website to register), and posted announcement on front page (2/14/08)
5. Review and customize menus (2/15/08)
6. Review and customize permissions (2/15/08)
7. Check Mime mail settings on mailman (2/15/08)
8. Perhaps we can remove the front page announcement concerning the glitch, now that it's corrected. seems a shame to have that post front and center when opening the site. (3/2/08) ''Sorry, meant to set an automated time limit on that one. I've removed it from the front page. I've also opened editorial access to News postings by all registered users, so that's a change you can make yourself from now on. Just click to "Edit" the posting, scroll down to "Publishing Options," and uncheck the "Promote to Front Page" box. Alternately, if you want to leave it on the front page but have it cycle off automatically at a set time, you can scroll down to "Scheduled Action," choose "Remove node from front page" and set a date and time when you'd like that to happen.''
9. Not sure what sort of consensus we need to aim for with respect to changing front tab language, considering the format and language isn't emerging from any consensual agreement in the first place. does the change i suggested from "curricula" to "curriculum resources" make sense? if so, let's make the change. (3/2/08) Done, but I do think we need a procedure in place for how future changes get made. As more people (hopefully) begin participating on the site, it seems like a good idea to have a sense of how we go about making changes in a way that's inclusive of input without requiring me to make a new change every time a comment gets posted. Right now, it's not a huge issue, but it could become one down the road.
10. Reduced and streamlined navigation options in main menu (7/15/09).
11. Made all sidebar boxes collapsible (and most set by default to the collapsed view) to reduce page clutter. (7/18/09)
12. Restyled post and sidebar box display to show rounded corners (on Safari and Firefox) using CSS3 border-radius property. Internet Explorer users will continue to see square boxes as this browser does not comply with the CSS3 specification. (7/28/09)

Website To-Do: Taxonomy

Critical

Pending:

1. (RH) List all docs housed under each curriculum so one can see the list w/o having to scroll thru all the texts. Admin: I'd like to figure this one out. However, it's a weird feature of the way the category system is set up. It can be overcome, I'm sure, but it'll take a bit more work than some of the other items.
   • Addendum 2/19/08: I think this can be accomplished by adding code to the Sitemenu module [which creates that "Main Site Index" page. I need to build in the capacity for it to take a category name as a filter. Can't say for sure whether this will be quick work or slow, but I'm looking into it.
   • Addendum 7/16/09: We're in the process of migrating all curriculum into the workbook pages. This should eventually solve the navigation problem.
2. How-to and user testing of new taxonomy system.

Complete:

1. Revamp and rationalize content categories (2/5/08) Required manually re-tagging all existing content with new, hierarchical category system
2. Build categorical site menu (2/11/08)
3. Add more help text to taxonomy box on new posts (2/12/08)
4. Build categorical index page for workbook (2/15/08)
5. Separate documents list by tag name (i.e., clickable list of tags, each of which takes you to the relevant list of documents) (2/15/08) -- Addressed in other fixes (i.e., curricula menu item, site index, etc.)
6. Build restricted free-tagging system (2/27/08)
7. Simplified user tagging interface (7/16/09) -- Added hierarchical dropdown menu feature to make applying taxonomical tags to new posts much simpler
8. Rationalized and simplified taxonomy list to make content searching easier. (7/19/09). Manually re-tagged all posts with new, more stable and searchable vocabulary. All new posts will require this new vocabulary, and all old posts are now re-tagged with it, so at least in theory'' '''all''' ''content on the site should be fully navigable under this more orderly classification system. The new Site Navigation and User Tools sidebar box will put this navigation capacity at users' fingertips on all pages.
9. Removed all duplicate tags from posts using the Taxonomy Multi Editor module. (8/4/2009). The site should now be searchable by topic in a much more comprehensive and rational manner.

Non-critical:

Pending:

1. No identified issues.

Complete:

1. Inserted and tested new code to display tags as hierarchies on pages (e.g., Nonsite Curricula > Aesthetics as Somatic Practice > Events), rather than lists of single tags. (7/25/09)
