Etherpad setup guide
by John Poelstra 15 Nov '10

15 Nov '10

I realize this is slightly off topic, but the Etherpad FAD was discussed here so wondering if someone can assist. I'm looking for a detailed, step by step guide to get the latest Etherpad release running on Fedora, including any gotchas and work arounds. I understand packaging is still not complete. Was anything like that created at the FAD or can someone provide a good URL? I haven't been able to find anything comprehensive in my searching. Thanks, John

Resetting pt4 Drupal theme
by Paul W. Frields 14 Nov '10

14 Nov '10

Since it looks like we'll be coming at our theme with a fresh start toward making it look more like fp.o, I'm going to install the standard 960 theme: http://drupal.org/project/ninesixty And I'm going to reset the theme that users see to a more standard default, making it less interesting to look at for now, but easier to read. At any time, users should be able to reset their own personal theme by selecting "My account > Edit" from the navigation menu. That way, as designers are working on the new theme, they can see their work in progress -- while visitors will see a standard, fully working theme. -- Paul W.

TinyMCE in Footnotes module
by Paul W. Frields 11 Nov '10

11 Nov '10

As I was reviewing the Footnotes module, I found that the TinyMCE editor is included as a submodule. I left information about this in my package review: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642858 (With abject apologies for being slow on getting this out.) It looks to me like the subdirectories involved can simply be %excluded with no ill effects on the module (nice design?). However, I haven't had time to test that against content. Sven, take a look and see what you think. -- Paul W.

Conversation on promoting feed items
by Paul W. Frields 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Interesting conversation on #fedora-mktg and I wanted it to be seen by others who are working or considering working with us on Drupal/Insight. The first bit concerns the PHP requirement for Feeds: <asrob> stickster: btw I tested Feeds module last week, it runs very well with PHP 5.2 <stickster> asrob: So is the requirement in error then? asrob: Might be worth emailing the maintainers to see whether they can describe exactly what the requirement is for -- if we don't use a specific feature, for example, we could simply proceed <asrob> stickster: I solved it <stickster> asrob: Can you describe this on the list please? Peter, can you give us some more information about what you solved here and in what situations we might still need an upgraded PHP (if at all)? * * * The next bit concerns how Feeds works against content to create nodes in Drupal: <asrob> stickster: yeah, but there is a problem with Feeds, it creates nodes from the imported things stickster: imho we don't want to this <stickster> asrob: I think we want to avoid that, correct Oh wait asrob: Actually, in specific situations we may *want* to create nodes In other words, we want to be able to take a copy of a posted blog entry on the Planet that is a very good post or piece of news. Then we can promote it on Insight, without having all of the posts from the Planet listed. <asrob> hm <stickster> Maybe making a node in that case is actually desirable <asrob> okay, I will see what can I do <asrob> stickster: a solution, we import news into the moderation queue of drupal and the moderators review these things <-- what think about of this? <asrob> ahh <asrob> stickster: what do you think about this? ^^ <stickster> asrob: That could work -- it matches the workflow I was thinking of In other words, it looks something like this: 1. Someone on the Marketing team sees a good post on Planet that should be promoted 2. Visit Insight/Drupal to import or approve/promot post 3. Post appears in a recent community news area <asrob> ah, I see, this is very helpful information Basically, in the next phase we'd like Insight to hold more community created material. We want to be able to promote existing material that comes to the Planet. Insight is meant for a broader audience than people who are Fedora contributors. Not everything on the Planet is worth carrying on Insight, but specific posts -- like team bounties, special announcements about test days or release events, etc. -- would be worth promoting on this site. That way they would reach tech writers, journalists, the general public, and so on. Peter, are you interested in working further on this functionality? -- Paul W.

Fedora Insight theme
by Peter Borsa 09 Nov '10

09 Nov '10

Hi! I spoke with Hiemanshu and Paul about FI theme today. I added myself to the theme devel group. Thank you again for the sponsorship. I have 2 questions: the first one, who would like to help us? The second one, is the current theme a sub-theme? If it is not, then we have 2 choice. We will create a new theme from scratch or we will convert the current theme to a sub-theme. -- Peter Borsa
