Bug List
- hidden page not showing hidden articles - and also needs to log deleted articles/comments too.
- the top few items from Indycycle are not listing on the bimc front page (but do on other pages)
- the slash indycycle redirect does not work - you have to use the full URL; http://bristol.indymedia.org/indycycle/index.php
- front page articles can these be hidden from the newswire, as before?
- Oscailt are all of our changes in the joint source forge so we can upgrade?
|
|
- hidden article images still appear on the top image gallery.

- calendar bug the entry http://www.bristol.indymedia.org/article/687722 was set to 2008, so I changed it to 2007 as it should be and it still appeared in the 2008 section, so I have hidden it. Not sure what is going on...
recache problem?
- add to site static pages new banning procedure for usernames & offline page, email list to about us for offline, offline page, update film nights page.

- front page error if I go to http://bristol.indymedia.org/ I sometimes get the error "Error: No Story ID specified. You need to specify a story ID to view." but if I then add a WWW in front, it works fine.

- friendly URLs The friendly URLs I have created seem to have gone! I logged in and tried to re-create them, but when I go, they seem to get un-created as soon as done with the error message, "failed to get lock on redirect cache file cache/redirectcache.inc"
- comment delay If you click on 'view latest comments' at the bottom of the homepage, all comments can be seen in full as soon as they are posted. http://bristol.indymedia.org/comments Some contributors seem to have realised this, others haven't. I noticed it immediately, but assumed it was known about by others in the collective, and would be changed shortly, but as others posting as 'imcvol' don't seem to be aware of this, then it seems to have been overlooked.
- Front Page Image Gallery Images don't seem to change on the front page, but they do if you look at an article.

- Oscailt version 3.1 Released are we going to get this? http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=790829
- Another Calendar Suggestion It might help if the form you fill in for the event notice had a field to not only put the date event but time as well as it comes up as 0:00 next to the date on the system after uploading. Also maybe a slot for event venue as well?
- Calendar - can't add multiple entries: BIM - much as I appreciate your desire to prevent infinite spam to the website (newswire & calendar), it is very frustrating for those of us trying to post up weekly events to the calendar....that the website prevents, or at least seriously delays, us from doing so. This evening I am trying to post on the calendar for March, details of the regular Sat & Sun cafes at Kebele, and other events. So far it has taken me over 15 minutes to manage 2 Saturday postings. Are you not able to provide a repeated event facility (ie every week), that perhaps requires your/moderator approval before appearing? Posting to the Venue online listings page is, annoyingly, mush easier! Currently under review by IMC-IRL
- add to help guide add the following

- search bar (top right) all searches seem to give no results, even when you search for things there is loads of content on, e.g. try searching 'bristol' or 'protest'
- hidden page not showing hidden content - also see note on deleted articles, below...
- site title seems to be 'Features - Bristol Indymedia' in the top bar of the browser.
- Articles by this author (top right) Is not working, e.g. see http://www.bristol.indymedia.org/article/687869 - but if you list the articles by this author! http://www.bristol.indymedia.org/newswire?author_name=The%20Bristol%20Blogger - you see loads.
- contact page contact page entries to not appear on the email system at https://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/private/imc-bristol/
- front page articles issue of hiding feature articles on newswire vs promoting an article to feature - still an issue. How other IMCs deal with this seems not to work for us, can we auto hide on newswire the front paged story?

- search bar (top right) all searches seem to give no results, even when you search for things there is loads of content on, e.g. try searching 'bristol' or 'protest' and you get re-directed to a page http://www.bristol.indymedia.org/admin.php?obj_id=2117&search_text=test&x=0&y=0 where you are asked to login.
- site title seems to be 'Features - Bristol Indymedia' in the top bar of the browser. Can we just make it 'Bristol Indymedia'? I have looked at the admin section and it looks like this comes from the oscaliat construction of adding the features module.

- adding links links such as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinker's_Bubble get changed to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tinker - chopping the 's_Bubble off!
- legal info the existing links don't work and we have also proposed creating a legal page that has all this info and other legal info on;

- Text size on comments form "Enter your name or pseudonym" etc. (all text in that format) is too small. Perhaps there could be a larger text mirror version of the site - or at least this type of text a bit bigger? There's loads of it all over the site. My eyesight is 20/20 but I struggle to read it.
- When there are no comments to a story - maybe say at the bottom "No comments yet - click here to add yours!"
- Video Upload File Size - The current upload limit on video files to the new site seems way too small - it's about 9mb. This would certainly lead me not to bother posting videos to bristol indymedia - and i imagine this would apply to other filmmakers too. Bear in mind that minidv is 25mb/second and hddvcpro is 100mb/second. Sites such as youtube allow up 100mb files (although these then get re-encoded as much smaller flash movies using an old sorenson spark codec)....can i suggest a 30mb limit for videos?

- Missing Articles I uploaded a test article with various images, videos etc. Did somebody delete it? Cool if they did, if not there are files going missing! >>*Dev site db is dumped and relaoded from live db every night - that would be why...
- Deleted Articles to Hidden Could we add deleted articles to the hidden page, so they are recorded there too?
- I can't seem to frontpage. I log in as IMCVOL create a front page, I can preview it fine but when I publish it I get the following error: "No Story with ID 0 exists"

- Error Messages Could we change these?
- When I uploaded a file that was too big, it rejected it, fine as it should, but is it possible to change the error message displayed? Currently is says: "Warning: POST Content-Length of 69625391 bytes exceeds the limit of 8388608 bytes in Unknown on line 0" Ideas would be to be: "Sorry! The file was too big to be uploaded to this site. Please make it smaller and try again. See our help page for more information." (where help is a link to the help page, launching it in a new window or tab)
- Similar issue for the image being too big, currently it says, "Image width exceeds maximum image width : test image.JPG Max width: 1000" Ideally we would add "Please make it smaller and try again. See our help page for more information." (again, help link launches in new window)
