Welcome

3 February, 2010 - 16:33 — claudine

I am a research assistant at the University of Melbourne, working on a number of historical projects including Founders and Survivors: Australian Lifecourses in Historical Context.

Although I now work mostly with Macs, I support the movements to promote free and open source software, and open access content.

Where have I been?

I went to a mission conference in Edinburgh, followed by a bit of sightseeing in London, then a few days of meetings and workshops in Hobart for the Founders and Survivors project.

We are developing the next stage of the Founders and Survivors website, which in my view has always been in 'beta' or 'preview' stage -- but that's not the language we've used in the project. We have engaged Robin Petterd (Sprout Labs) to work on interface design.

I need more flexible solutions to entering dates in Drupal

The Founders and Survivors website has to cater for users with a wide range of technical skills, though the primary audience is genealogists (who I think are largely self-taught, in terms of both historical research and computer skills).

Today's Drupal frustration

30 April, 2010 - 08:46 — claudine

I have the Simplenews and Token modules installed. I create a newsletter issue which includes links to other pages on the same site. I use the [site-url] prefix in these links. When I save the issue and send a test message to myself, [site-url] is expanded to the correct prefix for my domain. Then when I send the issue to all 600 subscribers, [site-url] is expanded to "localhost". How embarrassing! Where do I begin to try to track down this error?

PS Short links above are using the cool new Drupal.org URL shortener http://dgo.to/

Solved! Adding a new referenced node

The solution to today's problem was the Node Reference URL Widget.
