Bug Testing first Version of Drupal Site
Suggestions for the Next Phase
Next Phase
Mori, please shift issues from the bug test list into this section if they are features which will need further funding to be achieved. thank you!
[13/11/07 Mori] The requests mentioned in the bug test report are summarised as below:
1. custom moderation system
- The first stage is a quick change ( i) - exclude documents from moderation queue and ii)display 50 items per page). These changes should be made asap, by the end of Jan/08 at the latest
- The functionality needs to be defined in detail. Time / cost cannot be estimated before it is defined. We should also research on existing modules that can fulfill IFIwatch.tv's specific needs.
2. input check for video field to prevent users from entering wrong video information
- needs research on which extensions to filter
3. related videos block
- This can be achieved relatively easily. No dependency with other functionality
4. additional search functions
- We should wait for Drupal's default search function to be improved
5. saving extra feed item information (e.g. creation date, author name, etc.)
- Simplefeed 1.0 cannot be used to do this because it no longer allows developer to create a new parse engine
- Options are to use Feed API or continue to use and extend Beta version of Simplefeed. The latter is quicker and cheaper solution, but there is a potential secruity risk, as the module is not maintained.
6. order by creation date (dependent on #5)
- (dependency issue) #5 needs to be resolved before this can be implemented
7. Docs and videos constantly mixed up and treated as equivalent. seems to be a bug?
docs appear in feed from the site - http://www.ifiwatch.tv/films/feed
video feed items appear in 'manage content' listing refined to display only documents - http://www.ifiwatch.tv/admin/content/node
8. - Manage content option to make sticky at top of lists' etc does not seem to work. - Manage content option to 'promote to' or 'demote from' front page does not seem to work.
