Notes from midnight drupal meeting 6-15-6 Written by (I)An-ok – Parenthesis Eye
Question: At http://compassioninactionusa.org/index.php?q=admin/menu it says that “content†is “disabled†– what does that mean exactly?
Answer: particular piece from showing up on navigation
Question: I enabled “forums†– why was it disabled?
Answer: were disabled because the menu item was incorrectly set up – under the modules link a module is enabled if a box is checked enabled
Question: Why is the “contact†module disabled? Could I add conference organizers’ info onto it?
Answer: Yes. (this now has been done)
Question: What about enabling clean URLs - http://compassioninactionusa.org/index.php?q=admin/settings
Answer: Would need to configure server for it – aliases. Linneae did not change settings because of complications with use of server, but is willing to change it if need be.
________________
Done – Set up background info block
Done - Online conference registration block
Question: Do we really want “books†as a top link?
Answer: Name for that has been changed.
Question: How about us giving a workshop at the event to introduce and explain the Drupal site? Answer: Let’s do it!
Done - New giraffe image/pic
Done – Name “Users†should be changed to something else
Done - Lucy is eager to tweak the theme
Done - Add NVC wiki planning part to background information
Done - Profile fields for users – make a list of things to include in it and send to Tony
Relatively done - Have site ready by Monday
Take notes and add to tech page on wiki – what needs to be done, what has been done – (here it is!)
People should feel free to change stuff if it looks better some other way
Doesn’t have a theme engine installed right now, is currently running 4.7
Monday tech team all looks at it, thereby, Wed or something is the grand opening – data dump w/ lucy
Add anything to forums that is fitting for it or helpful
set up SynchroEdit
A collaborative editing system for collective note-taking. People at the conference will be able to take notes on the same page, and peoplenot at the conference will be able to follow along.
