Fair enough, I've been busy with other things myself. If I get a new laptop battery I could make use of my time on the bus journey home from Exeter, all 3.5 hours of it today. I don't half feel for those poor folks who got stuck on Haldon.On Tue, 12 Jan 2010 19:28:41 +0000 Paul Sutton <zleap@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:Out of interest, recently I had an urge to put a couple of disto reviews on the Wiki but didn't as I wasn't sure if it was worth hanging on until I get a login account for the Drupal site.Distro reviews are highly structured on the current site and that code won't be ported to Drupal. (It's horribly out of date and problematic behind the scenes.) An ordinary wiki page containing a distro review would eventually be ported to Drupal as Drupal makes our current wiki obsolete.If it's only going to be say a week then I'll probably put something together on the laptop and post it when I get a login account.It depends on how much time I'm left with during the relocation toCambridge etc.
Ahh, I dare say I could fit a screen shot into less than a meg easily using JPG or PNG (most likely PNG).Does the new Drupal site support uploading of images too (I'm thinking things like screen shots)?The maximum upload size is 1 MB. Only files with the following extensions may be uploaded: jpg jpeg gif png txt doc xls pdf ppt pps odt ods odp.
As far as I am aware the wiki is staying up, but I guess will eventually get linked to by the drupal site,The Wiki is to be replaced by drupal6 - the wiki code is as outdated and unmaintainable as the rest of the old site. The new way would be to create a book of Distribution Reviews and then add content to thatbook.
Sounds good.
If of course the drupal site does support pictures, that may be a better option.It will - just enabled the Upload module.
Great.
I'm looking forward to using this new Drupal site, I guess it might be good to actually read up a bit about it.I would guess we can cross link the two.I intend to move the old site once drupal6 becomes the "top-level" - i.e. what we have now would be dcglug.org.uk/old/ and what is now dcglug.org.uk/drupal6 gets promoted to dcglug.org.uk/ In doing so, dcglug.org.uk/old/members will be disabled, making the current Wiki read-only. This is because the current Wiki "source" is not compatible with Drupal (or any CMS). The main requirement would be to fix URL links (where the description of the link is not the URL itself). The confusing 2-column formatting of the current wiki will go away.
