Garreth's To-Do List

garreth's picture

garreth — Tue, 02/12/2008 - 17:26

Update 11/20/2008: Is there anything you guys would like to see on the site that we don't have yet?

To do

  • ****Mouseover gems need to be on the left, not the right (css fix)
  • Textbox size on comment pages (text box is GREATwhen STARTING posts, but too small when commenting)
  • "Add item" button in the text box menu to add [ item ] [ /item ] to text (see the comments box at wowdb.com)
  • Clean up main navigation bar (lots of redundancy)
  • ****Permissions in the forums based on certain tags. (taxonomy_access module, see this link: http://www.lullabot.com/articles/private_forums_in_drupal_forum_access_v...)
  • Spell check in this new super text box?
  • "Classes needed" box on the front page
  • Make the wowjutsu badge logo a standalone module and not just something configured from the admin panel
  • And, yes, points integration into our profiles via an xml upload, as well as a "comparison" page very similar to what we had before. This will be a big module. (Frollo's workin on it)
  • Guild bank/roster.  See this: http://groups.drupal.org/world-warcraft-guild-website-modules
  • More character profile fields.(partially done)
  • Set permissions so that guests can see upcoming events. Set permissions so that logged in users can see/sign up for events.
  • Going from "rich text" editor to "plain text" is adding in a fuckton of html line breaks, totally fucking up the layout.
  • Set up ftp locations for video uploads, and ftp upload locations for Saedo, katibug, Dufe and anyone else that wants to "roll parses"
  •  

Fixed

  • ****RSS feeds at the bottom of the page need to stack to the right, not up and down (a 'clear' issue in css, possibly handled in the template code)
  • ****Fix IRC.  Fixed, check it: www.downfallguild.org/cgiirc
  • Application forms area.
  • The "about us" box at the top of the page needs some pizzaz and "quick links".  Still needs imags imo.
  • Need a "Powered by Wowhead" logo somewhere on the front page, since we're soon to be on their Featured Site list, possibly my first true Drupal "addon" (simple, to the point)
  • Add a new "content" type that is an application form, set visible access rights to it, use "views" module to list all, option of checking 'open' and 'closed' - DONE! Go here to see all apps: www.downfallguild.org/applications

Aidin — Fri, 03/14/2008 - 14:47

I searched the list and didn't see this one.

I'm trying to send a PM or 2 out...but I can't for the life of me remember what those 2 ppl set as their user name...ie: Drewsta.  So I search the User List...ewwwwwwwwwwwww no organization whatsoever...so yea that needs to be added to things to fix.  So I think, well maybe I can search from the To: line on the actual pm itself...no such luck.  Would be a nice addition, but if the User List had some functionality, wouldn't be such a big deal.

"now" in comparison to the old site. Just never brought it up before because every time I suggest something you always just say I'm complaining. So now I just wait to see if others post it instead =)

When clicking on an item link, I saw that it now takes you to the drupal node where the picture is, instead of to the wowhead page. Can that be changed?

garreth — Wed, 03/12/2008 - 09:48

It has taken clickers to the node for months.  However, until recently there were four links to four separate "wow item" sites that you could choose.  If you use IE you can see the "broken" image links at the bottom, I'll fix that too.

Updated with some new stuff.  Let's hear your thoughts for more stuff!

Aidin — Thu, 02/21/2008 - 15:02

When viewing recent posts, it will list New topics and new comments. When you click the 1 new link it will take you to the new comment directly on the page...which is HOTNESS...but wait! It ONLY does it if the comment is on the first page. If the thread has grown to multi-pages, it will not link you to the new comments on subsequent pages.

Oh how the new site has brought out the old software tester in me...lol

Actually click the item, on this site.  Works like a charm :)

Aidin — Wed, 02/20/2008 - 18:16

Garreth, when signing up for an event, it will not apply a name change, it forces your Web name as your sign up which makes things HORRIBLE for a Raid:mALT.

I know you and I already

garreth — Wed, 03/12/2008 - 09:09

I know you and I already went over this, but I'm going to post it for others to see:

  1. When signing up for an event, you can put in any name you want (preferrably your toon for that run)
  2. The event creator can go to the "Signups" link at the top of the event and see all the toon names as well as a phone number if you chose to put it in.
  3. This will also show you the time that people registered, sometimes making invites easier.

Do they actually have a link

garreth — Wed, 02/20/2008 - 18:07

Do they actually have a link at wowarmory.com?

saedo's picture

Yes they got a link. They

saedo — Wed, 02/20/2008 - 18:24

Yes they got a link. They were just created when Armory was down, and now there seems to be no way to update it with armory back up again.

Example: Romulo's Poison Vial

Armory Link: http://www.wowarmory.com/item-info.xml?i=28579

Item Link: [item]Romulo's Poison Vial[/item]

saedo — Wed, 02/20/2008 - 17:47

How do you fix busted item links? Clicking on em only gets me an Access Denied page. Editing the page doesn't do anything.

garreth — Tue, 02/19/2008 - 10:08

That stupid shoutbox does a query to the db every 10 seconds.  If the site is left open, it sits and pings the server non stop.  Thus is ajax (ugh).  Carry on like usual, I'm going to make it so that only logged in users of a certain rank can see the site ;)

Is the Top Visitors page

saedo — Tue, 02/19/2008 - 02:02

Is the Top Visitors page listing database queries or something?  Cause looking at it now I'm at 12K.  An hour ago I was at 11K.  Earlier today I was at 5.5K.   A couple days ago I was at 3.8K.   I'm not refreshing *that* much, at least I don't think.   Just seems odd and it's exponentially growing!

garreth — Fri, 02/15/2008 - 10:57

You're set on site as an admin, so you should see what I see. This is good. Now, I need someone on the site that hasn't been assigned a role to tell me if they see the upcoming events.

Shihli's picture

Shihli — Fri, 02/15/2008 - 10:27

I can see them but I have to scroll way down to find them.  Might want to pull them up the page to make them more visible.

garreth — Fri, 02/15/2008 - 10:20

There are 2 "upcoming events", how many can see them from the block on the very right of the page?

garreth — Wed, 02/13/2008 - 16:39

KK, killed the RSS feeds stacking at the bottom of the page issue.  Might even add a third, now that they're all side by side.

garreth — Wed, 02/13/2008 - 12:19

Aha! I found the tricky little CSS bug that's causing our RSS feeds at the bottom of the page to stack.  Mwahahaha. will fix when I have some better tools.
