The priorities for feb-march are images, translation, australia group events & registrations (in that order). but the translation one requires more involvement & input from those who can do translations, so i think we should first tackle images, then the australia group events, while we try to get translators on board.
i've also noted some other things at the end, & please also refer to the list of things for other little tasks & details.
- images: we still need to work out a better gallery system, plus:
- event logo images - should be able to browse existing uploaded images rather than have to upload the same logo again & again for future events by the same group
- remove image gallery option from the create image page for authenticated users (risk of them putting images into the wrong gallery &/or creating more galleries) - should just be done by group admins, editors & magnetics
- i think the duplicate image inserting problem has been fixed but i'll check
- translation: there are still a number of quirks with the translation system, such as when you are in english & click on "search" it comes up with the page title "buscar"; & the problem with events and blog posts that don't have translations only showing up in the english version. this does need help from people who are actually going to do the translations, so i will send an email out calling for people to get involved in this. It is important that all events show up in the calendar regardless of whether they have been translated or not.
- Australia group - events: currently there is no easy way to see all the Australian events within the Australian group pages. it would be good to have a menu item "events" that drew only Australian events into a calendar. currently, events posted from within the Australia group are only accessible through the main site calendar, & there are a few problems with their layout e.g.:
- no title showing
- logo half way down page
- "Magdalena Event: No" appearing
- next thing
- registrations: main thing here is the problem of spam registrations - which is just tedious for valentina & i. but we should be able to improve on it. then also:
- is it possible to make the password a required field on the registration page? after observing the log-in process of many people during the festival, we think it would be simpler if people had to choose their password in that initial sign-up - some people were confused by the second email with the one-time log-in link. i've looked at the profile settings & the password field isn't there for me to be able to make it required.
- the input format is set so that only magnetics should have the full html option, however we are noticing that for ALL new registrations, the full html option is ticked in their account. we are un-ticking this manually as we approve new registrations, but it would be good it if wasn't ticked in the first place.
Other things:
- reply-to address for emails sent via the site from one member to another (probably using the contact form - not sure how else they can contact each other?) should be the member, not webqueen@themagdalenaproject.org (otherwise i'm going to end up having to forward a shitload of email)
- member search by practice categories
there are a few more things on the "list of things" but i will go through that & remove some of it.
