Zikula theme status
Hi, I've spent the past couple of days poking at the Zikula theme, and I'm at the point now that I don't think I can progress much further without some assistance. I have a bunch of other stuff on my plate too (more importantly, the www.fpo redesign work) so I need to move on for now, but I hope to get back to Zikula this weekend or sometime next week if I could get some help moving forward. First of all, here's what we have so far: http://publictest6.fedoraproject.org/zikula/ Here's some of the issues I've been wrestling with: • Images - This is my biggest concern right now. If you want to post an image in an article, you can't. It won't let you. It just spits out the img tag in plain text. :( • Comments - I don't know how to get comments forms to appear beneath articles. From searching the Zikula forums, I found out thatEZcomments is a plugin that does it, but we don't seem to have it installed and I'm not sure if it's okay to install. • RSS - I don't know how to do this. We need one feed for all articles and ideally at some point in the future a podcast and vodcast feed. • Author names - I can't figure out how to get real human names :( not sure how. Also my method of linking to the author's profile is rather hacky. • Links for sidebar articles - can't get them, variable is a mystery. When I use the usual variables all the sidebar article links (e.g., individual event details links) come up blank or point to the main article being displayed. * Feature story - I'd like to have one story displayed in full blinginess on the front page, it seems the news module has a way to do this but I can't figure out how to make it work (how do you assign 'today's feature' to an article?) Any help is greatly appreciated! I hope you like the progress so far.

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'll check out the images issue, there's probably some crap preventing you from doing so in Zikula itself.

If #3 is only being used by two groups thus far, and if neither has spent considerable money producing literature or publicity, renaming that one is probably the better option. If we really want to know "how did this happen?", my feeling is that I'm the person at fault here. I recall being not bowled over by the naming of the portal project (#2) to Fedora Community, but I couldn't think of why, and I simply failed to put 2 and 2 together with the fedoracommunity.org domain name. I would say that there wasn't enough interplay between the FAB list and Infrastructure, where #3 was discussed and implemented, and Marketing/Moksha, where #2 was going through that process. And putting those pieces together really is an FPL responsibility. We have the Logistics list now to coordinate such things, but didn't back in the winter when #3 was happening (and probably #2 too). Having said that, I'd propose that we get in touch with the groups using the fedoracommunity.org domain (#3) to find out to what extent a renaming would hamper their community efforts. I'd like to do that with a Cc: of an appropriate list -- Marketing? Websites? Logistics? Other? -- Paul W.

Maybe it should have its own domain name, as opposed to what is currently a pretty convoluted domain name for what is a really awesome webapp? Yeh, I've heard a lot from folks who want to use the app and can never figure out how to get to it. "Fedora Community" is really hard to find in a search, too, as Mel pointed out. Really hard. In IRC yesterday I did some brainstorming with other Red Hatters on a replacement name for Fedora Community (the app), we came up with the following list of possibilities: boardwalk square plaza zocalo One of these would probably be more searchable and could lead to a better domain name for the app. The community sites such as ph.fedoracommunity.org would make better use of the name because for that you'd search for 'phillipines fedora' not 'fedora community' so it'd be easy to find, and the domain name there is more about association with the commnunity than naming & findability. I apologize for getting a little overly upset about the work that was put into marketing / branding Fedora Community the app. I think now if something has to be renamed it's a good opportunity to rename the app since we've already heard from users it's hard to find because of its name. ~m -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list

Due to the same origin policy[1]_ in web browsers (a very important piece of browser security), information can't be shared across hosts. So things like single sign-on between Fedora Community Portal and Bodhi, packagedb, etc would not work. Currently this isn't a big issue as we're taking the username and password on the Portal page if we don't have an authentication cookie and proxying it to the other web apps to generate a cookie. But it will be a showstopper if we move to SSL certificates or another means of authenticating users as we can't proxy those. This doesn't mean we can't have something like https://community.fedoraproject.org that's a redirect to https://admin.fedoraproject.org/community but it would only be a redirect. The browser won't send authentication tokens to community.fedoraproject.org that came from admin.fedoraproject.org. The social reason is that we do not want to get people used to giving their Fedora username and password to third party sites. Right now you should only be putting your Fedora username and password pair into fedoraproject.org domains. If we had something like fedoracommunity.org go to The Fedora Community Portal, people would need to put their username and password in there as well. And from there, how are they to know that fedorafriends.org, fedorasolved.org, fedora.org, fedoraharvestpasswords.org are legitimate or illegitimate sites? .. _[1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_origin_policy#Origin_determination_rules >> 3. http://fedoracommunity.org, the top-level domain for a few (only 2 >> so far, it sounds like) local group homepages (such as >> http://ph.fedoracommunity.org/ for the Philippines). >> http://fedoracommunity.org itself is not up and running, but was >> supposed to be a directory for all such homepages. > > Given what we use *.fedoracommunity.org for, the main index page of > fedoracommunity.org should (ignoring all design options) make it easy > for people to find out what all the subdomains are, right? > That seems to be where this thread started off (n websites list) and I agree with it.

The portal already caters to our developers and blogging contributors, can't we do the same for our local communities. Likewise, it will make the portal more like a one-stop showcase of what Fedora have - fantastic developers, energetic contributors and vibrant local communities.

Re: Zikula theme status
Here's an update on where we're at now. Thanks to itbegins and affix for helping me out today! Here's the stuff still needing to be resolved: • Author names - I can't figure out how to get real human names :( not sure how. Also my method of linking to the author's profile is rather hacky. • Feature story - I'd like to have one story displayed in full blinginess on the front page, it seems the news module has a way to do this but I can't figure out how to make it work (how do you assign 'today's feature' to an article?) • EZComments packaging - we need someone to package this ASAP. Any takers? Here's the stuff that was resolved: On 09/10/2009 09:42 AM, Máirín Duffy wrote: • Images - This is my biggest concern right now. If you want to post an image in an article, you can't. It won't let you. It just spits out the img tag in plain text. :( Simon fixed this :) It had been disabled because of security reasons but since only admins can edit articles it's probably okay. • Comments - I don't know how to get comments forms to appear beneath articles. From searching the Zikula forums, I found out thatEZcomments is a plugin that does it, but we don't seem to have it installed and I'm not sure if it's okay to install. We need to have EZComments packaged - it not being installed is the reason the comments tags aren't working for me. • RSS - I don't know how to do this. We need one feed for all articles and ideally at some point in the future a podcast and vodcast feed. affix wrote a custom RSS feed but Simon pointed out Zikula has this pre-built in, it was just broken (bc of a config setting I tweaked, sorrys :( ) and it works now. • Links for sidebar articles - can't get them, variable is a mystery. When I use the usual variables all the sidebar article links (e.g., individual event details links) come up blank or point to the main article being displayed. Simon figured this one out. :) ~m -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list
