Drupal Configuration

Benjamin:
An aside: I was thinking it would be great if all the events like the US social forum could send their lists to be pre-registered with WSF2008.net. But they didn't ask people permission for this ahead of time, of course. Should we have a checkbox for "Let coming social forums in my area use my registration information" and/or "share with national social forum groups"?

When a pattern includes certain characters (such as those with accents) should Pathauto attempt to transliterate them into the ASCII-96 alphabet? Transliteration is determined by the i18n-ascii.txt file in the Pathauto directory. This option is disabled on your site because you do not have an i18n-ascii.txt file in the Pathauto directory.

Resolution

cp i18n-ascii.example.txt i18n-ascii.txt

Just to give the option. we don't have to use it.

This has to be repeated every time we update the pathauto module.

Proposed user menu (functionality) from Pierre:

horizontality
decentralization
accountability
with some minimum rules politically communicable
and light protocols (only individual actions)

Proposed list of user Menu in wsf2008.net

User menu in front page (all actions are one click and do not need further confirmation by anybody)

Signature

Sign the call and register at the same time

Edit my signature ( one person can have two identifiers with a same mail address

location (API, module)
http://drupal.org/project/location

location.module supports proximity searches for content. Content (i.e., 'nodes') can be tagged with a physical snail mail location (whether full or partial). What number of location fields (e.g., 'street', 'city', 'postal code', 'country', 'province') are collected for each node type (and whether they are required or optional) is configurable in the default workflow for each node type.

How do I change the order of the create content links?

Resolution

Agaric thought of creating a module for this. And then we remembered that we just have to reorder their menu items. Administer » Build » Menu (admin/build/menu)

This won't help on the create content page itself, but we never visit this page. Do you? It can also be replaced with a physical page of links if you absolutely must theme this, or a module to replace the default page, but you know you don't need it.

As-yet unresolved: which users can add RSS feeds (to action groups, or to cities, or to countries?) and how this technically is done.

Resolution

Pierre George described it best:

there is a list of self declared organisation represetnative which is highlighted , anyway the organisation is not a structural object in this site ( contrary to wsfprocess.net ) - organisation are just mentions that people declare when they sign

Resolution

This will be implemented with an autocomplete taxonomy.

weird issue: our blog view after upgrading the site from Drupal 4.7 to Drupal 5 is not in chronological order of posting.

Resolution

Replacing blog.module with views
http://drupal.org/node/47419

Wow, that worked really, really well. We just created the view through the views user interface (modifying tracker, which already had user arguments built in) but the Agaric blog looks great, for me too.

I am really leaning toward trying to create cities and countries as a taxonomy.

As a community-managed taxonomy.

With instantly showing up, but the ability to merge later.

A location-enabled vocabulary. Or a node-linked vocabulary, with the nodes location-enabled.

The benefits:
