The OpenEdge Hive - issues for The Hive project

Need fresh review of move to Drupal 6

tamhas — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 19:02:23 +0000

I have done a couple of prior passes on module status and issues for moving to D6. This seems important now that the world is moving to D7.

Connection between Site Map and Yellowpages

tamhas — Wed, 16 Mar 2011 18:53:48 +0000

The Site Map, aka Hive Map, and the Yellowpages are both customized versions of the Site Map module from Drupal ... and very nice customizations they are, too. However, neither is an actual node so there is a problem in trying to put the Yellowpages on the Site Map. The Site Map is constructed by adding terms from the Navigation Taxonomy (under Administer->Categories) to a node. Since there is no Yellowpages node, there is nothing to apply the taxonomy term too.

can't connect to any subversion repository at oehive anymore

jurjen — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 14:09:31 +0000

Today I noticed that I cannot reach any of the subversion repositories at oehive anymore. I have tried url's like "svn://oehive.org/prolint/trunk" from TortoiseSVN from different computers, for different repo's, with and without firewalls but allways get a message like connection refused.
No idea how long this situation already exists, because I have been horribly passive for a long while. May perhaps be caused by Westhost VM conversions??

Project/Group actions menu hard to find, especially "subscribe"

john — Fri, 08 Sep 2006 21:28:10 +0000

For a Project/Group, the "subscribe" link is very hard to find. It's in the middle menu block on the right hand side. That menu block is in the right place, really... having all the "actions for Group" under all of the "actions for User". It's just that when "subscribe" is the only item in the block, it's hard to find. Maybe we can configure Projects so that "subscribe" is in the list of actions on the bottom of the Project page... along with "Support" and "Development" etc.? Perhaps along with that we can put in a reminder to enable email notification for the group (mailing list).

Posting to two groups doesn't work

Auto enable group email notifications doesn't work

john — Sun, 03 Sep 2006 17:25:53 +0000

Subscribing to the group, and enabling email notification, is a two step process, and one that users are likely to forget. The setting on the project page, which looks like it should make it automatic for new subscribers to the group, doesn't seem to work.

pages don't show keywords

Some, not all, pages don't display their keywords (from the 'keywords' category).

Add release (in a project) does not work

jurjen — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 09:00:56 +0000

When you want to create a new release in a project and try to upload a file, the file will not get uploaded to the server and the release displays an error message.

A workaround is to upload the file with FTP to a designated directory, and then manually modify the project_releases record. Of course this is not a very nice workaround.

Unpublished nodes

john — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 21:25:25 +0000

There is currently a problem with Drupal, in that it does not allow authors to *view* their own unpublished nodes. They can edit them, but not view them.
See http://drupal.org/node/41188.
This is a shame, because otherwise, we could use a combination of the Workflow module (with workflow between published and unpublished) and the Workspace module (to view a list of all my own nodes, including the unpublished ones), to create "sandbox" type nodes, for playing or for tentative editing prior to publishing.
Hopefully there will soon be a relase of Drupal which resolves this issue.

User access to node's "publishing information"

john — Sun, 01 Oct 2006 17:22:42 +0000

Should be able to edit "publishing information", but not: "promoted to front page" or "sticky at top of lists". Those two should be up the Hive editors. Every user should be able to specify "published" or not for their node, and whether or not to "create new revision".

Login difficulties, continued

tamhas — Wed, 27 Sep 2006 17:22:15 +0000

This morning I had the same problem of just getting a refresh of the page when I tried to log in ... and now I am using FireFox. I had to get a fresh password to get in.

Forum "generic discussion" for new OG projects

john — Tue, 05 Sep 2006 04:23:04 +0000

Something to look into: when a new OG project is created, it creates a forum with the project name, and then a "Generic discussion" sub-forum under that, which is what the OG links tend to point to. Why?

Index/search and external HTML

john — Mon, 04 Sep 2006 18:32:59 +0000

- Need to find a way to index and search the Subversion repositories. The trick will be to avoid showing a different search result for every revision of a matching piece of code.
- Need a place for "generated" HTML, and need it to be indexed/searchable. For example, my user manual's HTML is generated from DocBook, and I also make my javadoc HTML viewable online. The amount of javadoc HTML is huge. Drupal does not have (that I know of) a mechanism for easily showing, indexing, and searching large volumes of generated HTML.

For now, I'm going to place my generated HTML in a subdomain, and we

Navigation

tamhas — Sun, 03 Sep 2006 18:27:41 +0000

I find the navigation from My Unread to be very peculiar. Not only is there no affordance to move to the next item, but if one replies to a post, then it requires back, back, back to get back to the list.

auto log off

john — Sun, 03 Sep 2006 18:00:44 +0000

I think I saw somewhere that there's a setting for automatically logging off users, but I can't find it now. We need to set this, especially for "admin". My concern is just with regard to stolen laptops, etc. I think that a very delayed time out, like 4 hours (or even anything less than 12 hours), is acceptable.

add og2list_groups after project is created

john — Sun, 03 Sep 2006 17:10:19 +0000

If a project has been created without setting the "mailing address" field, no og2list_groups record is created. Filling in that field later does not create an og2list_groups record.

Permissions by project,group,node

jurjen — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 09:16:12 +0000

as it is today, it can't be specified that user Joe has different roles in project X and Y.

Joe might be a moderator for topics in project X, in project Y he might be just a normal reader with only rights to comment and discuss, and he might be totally banned from the secret project Z.

It seems to me we will have to look into the possibilities to fine-tune that.

For starters, this discussion may give a lead: http://drupal.org/node/70555

clean home pages, need templates?

john — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 03:58:22 +0000

I've done what I can with making home pages clean without getting into the templates, and I think that's the next step. The idea is to make the home pages as much of a "clean slate", like raw html, as possible. But, there's still the Hive banner, the hive-wide search, taxonomy links (hive wide), and probably more that needs to be considered. All we want to enforce is a subtle link (or breadcrumb) (honey trail?) back to the hive.
