Changelog for 9 January 2010

 

Test server changes:
  • Updated to Drupal 6.15. This was the easiest core update I've ever done. In November, I had moved all the modules to the site folder as recommended for a 6.x site. Previously, everything was in modules/contrib, and it was always a hassle to get everything in the right place. Now everything is under sites/all like it's supposed to be. 
  • Updated Ctools, Image Assist, and Flag to newest versions. 
  • The biggest update was from Panels 2 to 3. I delayed the upgrade for months because Panels 3 wasn't quite there yet, and upgrading destroyed all views created under 2.x. The new panels system is much, much nicer, much following in the footsteps of the newest Views release. I had to reimplement the channel dashboards, but otherwise I had no problems.
  • I still need to run through some basic tests before I consider pushing the upgrade to production. Maybe tomorrow?
  • Experimented with a change in the graphic layout of the site. The blank area immediately to the right of the "DE" in the logo really bugs me. It's meant to be the breadcrumb trail, but I never quite made it work. I'll do a little more experimenting and see what I can do.
  • Tired now. Grinding headache despite caffeine and ibuprofen. Maybe I need new glasses...

 

Changelog for 22 November 2009

  • Had Pazi run some functionality tests on the test server. For the most part, things seemed to work, but it's not where near as elegant or usable as I want...
  • Enabled additional modules: Markdown, Flags, Freelinking:
    • Markdown helps to provide a wiki-like input syntax. I'm still debating if I should enable that by default or not. 
    • Flag allows for the ability to mark content as several preconfigured flags. I'd like to build a Like/Share/Follow function around it, but this is still in the experimental phase. I may disable it for the prod site until the feature is more developed. 
    • Freelinking isn't a new module, as we've had it for a long, long time before. It allows internal links to be added for specified content types. I want to use this to create the wiki links function. I thought for sure the basic functionality was handled by wikitools, but maybe I'm wrong?
  • Investigated some UI changes for node links. There's still a lot of cleanup needed here...
  • Not much else going on today. This weekend was utterly exhausting and I haven't the energy to do anything productive with it. I'm looking forward to the long holiday weekend for resting and additional deninet work. But for today, I need to throw in the towel.

Changelog for 21 November 2009

  • Tested login, and node creation with non UID 1 user. Everything appears to work, which further convinces me to copy the test server configuration to the production site.
  • Reviewed and changed security permissions. Much of this involved removed permissions from the admin user role. The idea behind this was to make it simpler for our primary users -- that is, Trice and Pazi.
  • Changed field order for node types. This was done to place priority on important node fields. This can still be better, but until D7, this'll likely require new code.
  • Fixed an oversight with the global view. The "Description" column actually corresponded to the body/welcome message field. This is confusing considering the required "Description" field of the Channel node type. The view was changed to use the Description field in the Description column.
