Revision of Drupal on MinGW TODO from 2007, June 4 - 21:27

The revisions let you track differences between multiple versions of a post.

Posted May 22nd, 2007 by mingwadmin

* Modules to consider

  1. Filter By Node Type
  2. backup
  3. Auto Time Zone
  4. Path Auto
  5. Advanced Contact
  6. Persistent Login
  7. Re: Comment subjects --- implemented
  8. Revision tags
  9. Signature
  10. Simple Karma
  11. Site Documentation
  12. Taxonomy Menu
  13. Syndication
  14. Google Ajax Search Module
  15. Views

* Theme issues

  1. UTF-8 Encoding
    • class="submitted" display of long dash
  2. Headlines: fyi: wiki 3 equal signs (=) is h4, 2 equals is h5, and I guess 'h6' is one equal. Page titles are h2.
  3. Some menus have submenus (About) that aren't expanded by default. Theme doesn't represent this. Expanded by default is controlled by the parent menu item settings. The display of the unexpanded menu needs a method similar to the Garland theme to indicate that the item displayed has sub items under it.
  4. Comment formatting:
    1. White space between main body and comment.
    2. Borders around each comment?

* Drupal issues

  1. Authorize h4, h5 and h6 as html elements
  2. wiki links aren't automatic (and goes to "Page not found" and not create content). Work needs to be completed to make this happen properly. I would like to see the form go to a content input form with the title filled in. Drupal style PHP coding to allow this may need to be accomplished if a module doesn't already exist.
  3. Number of reads on bottom of the page is unneeded.
  4. DokuWiki doesn't allow unnamed, unordered lists (currently enabled in static pages html) that is <dd> <dl> tags.
  5. Need to apply patch http://drupal.org/files/issues/t_6.patch to help prevent data from being submitted more than once.
  6. Recent Comments timestamps display different times with differing permissions.
  7. Revisions, I've noticed that revisions are not always accurate. It would be nice to have the ability to highlight the differences.

* Missing functionality

  1. Archive search form

* RSS integration with SF

  1. News
  2. Download files
    • Special themeing?
    • Reformatting?

* Moving the cms up one path node.

  1. Empty the www_cache_filter table
  2. Modify the interwiki path for mingw and mingwiki to remove the cms
  3. Check the www_system table
    • may have paths to modules with the cms node embedded
    • may need to just empty it
  4. Check the www_variables table
    • may have paths with the cms node embedded
    • may have to modify the table row or find the module that created the row and use the UI to change it.
      • MinGWiki input format->configure->Path of PEAR packages.
  5. Change the caching level from None to Normal. Avoid Advanced like it was the death plague.

* Done deeds

  1. Set "About" And "MingWiki" in auto-expanded mode otherwise it's confusing as it doesn't appear to have subitems.
    1. I (Earnie) unset the auto-expanded. I want the template to put a tick mark on the menu items with subitems. See the Garland theme for reference.
