funny content types
Thu, 2006-09-21 23:12 — jurjenJust some thoughts...
Do we need personal blogs? I can see a use for Group blogs (to announce a great new release) but why would anyone want to read what Jurjen has to say outside the context of a group? I know John has one blog entry, but that might as well have been a group blog for The Hive, or..?
So far I have only used "book pages", never "pages" or "stories". I am confused what the advantages are for one or the other. Confusion is not good, so can't we just delete one or two of those nodetypes?
If we need "pages" to express "product homes", then should we not use the CCK to create a "product home" nodetype instead of just using the standard "page"?
Hive project cannot be assigned to a Group
Sat, 2006-09-16 20:49 — jurjenThe project "The Hive" cannot be assigned to group "The Hive" (or to any other group).
Probably because the project was created before the Og module was installed.
I wonder if this will result in bad behavior. Perhaps we should destroy this project and add it again. What's your opinion about that?
Favorites are ugly
Sat, 2006-09-16 19:26 — jurjenView the favorites in "my account". Ugly isn't it?
How to add favorites
Sat, 2006-09-16 18:36 — jurjenThere is a lot of content on The Hive, so you may want to add specific pages to your favorites.
You could simply use the "Favorites" option of your web browser, but that has a the downside that your favorites are only stored on a single PC.
An alternative is to store your favorites as bookmarks in The Hive database!
Many pages have a link near the page footer, with a text like "bookmark this". You only have to click that link once to add the current page to your list of bookmarks.
To see your list of bookmarks, click "my bookmarks" in your personal navigation menu (that's the block in the right column on every page).
request a "Home" tab
Sat, 2006-09-16 02:06 — jurjenI think I would like to consider a "Home" option in the primary links, that jumps to the front page.
Organic Groups broken still!
Sat, 2006-09-16 00:40 — johnArgh, it looks like I never really got OG working properly. The Hive Group has lots of posts (especially its forum), but the Group page says: "No posts in this group". I'm pretty sure that's just plain wrong.
In case it was just something about og_forum that was broken, I also tried adding a "page" for the codeparse group, but it didn't work either.
Help, I'm going crazy!
Searching drupal.org now...
Sandbox
Fri, 2006-09-15 21:16 — johnAh! Good points! And it makes me think: We should set up a Subversion repository with the entire oehive.org directory - all of the Drupal code and modules.
This will be handy when we need to hack Drupal itself, as I've already had to do in a very trivial way for totalfeeds.module.
Developers should work with new modules and configuration locally, before committing their changes.
We'll promote new changes to a test/sandbox, where everybody can work with common test data online.
I wonder if we could put the oehive.org subdirectory under Subversion control? We'd have to instruct Apache to disallow access to .svn directories. Then, we could use the command-line svn commands for applying patches and updates to oehive.org.
rss feed module
Fri, 2006-09-15 02:16 — johnI've installed an RSS feed module (which required a minor hack to node.module), from here:
http://www.gerd-riesselmann.net/archives/2005/11/one-feed-module-to-rule...
It should give us much better notification/coverage via RSS.

RSS Feeds
Fri, 2006-09-15 02:15 — johnI've installed a third-party module called "totalfeeds". Hopefully it will give us some better options for getting extensive RSS feeds from across the whole site.
For example, the RSS feed from the front page now seems to give us "all site new content" RSS, rather than just the front page itself.
I've set the default feed format to be RSS 2.0.
/node/rss.xml: Is turned into default format feed for all new content
/node/rss.xml/rss: RSS feed for all new content
/node/rss.xml/atom: Atom feed for all new content
/node/[id]/feed: default feed format comment feed for Node with id [id]
Notifications on book changes
Fri, 2006-09-15 00:44 — jurjenBooks are currently in Projects, not in Groups.
As a result, when somebody adds a book page, it won't get noticed by the Group (and no notification will be sent).
That is a bit scary.
Oops, this could be another case for mandatory groups...
