We’re now onto the next stage of developing this website and the buzz is that we have three (possibly four) complex blogs to implement:
broadband.forargyll.com – The challenge with the broadband is to measure the speed of individual’s connection, save the info, and then allow the individual to identify their position on a map of Argyll, [...]
So some communities have been experiencing the following as a problem on their dashboard.
If you see this when you log in, please let Charles know and he’ll clean it out! charles [at] fyneside [dot] com
I know, I know, this sounds odd, “TwitPress” – almost like “It’s blogging stoopid” or somesuch. No this is better.
The idea is that if any member of a community uses twitter.com, they can now post from their community blog to twitter. Why? To increase our readership. To improve our search engine ranking. To be fully [...]
It was odd. All our subdomains, like lismore.forargyll.com and developing.forargyll.com, went AWOL and were replaced by a garish green holding page. After a moment or three’s thought we had a look at the back end and decided to cut to the chase and physically create the subdomains for WPMU to use, and as soon as [...]
Meaning that a possible explanation for the AJAX-associated bug we’re dealing with is that the PHP installation we are using is a hardened, anti-virus/anti-spam/anti-trojan, version, and this then means it doesn’t like parsing, or reading, the snippets of code that are inserted in the text sent to the database when tags are used from the [...]
Just a quick note to say we have been developing some small interface techniques, both for the community blogs and our overall for argyll homepage. yakking.forargyll.com has been added to our roster of blogs, and there’ll be more very soon. In the meantime, if you’d like to see the next iteration of our look, visit [...]
One of the ever-expanding questions about the Multi-user version of WordPress is, what plugins actually work? Well, we have been road-testing a number and we’ve had the joy of instant portability (Lighter Admin Drop Menus: though we could do with some of those natty icons for the Mu-specific admin items) and the frustration of instant [...]
Just a quick note to say we have just implemented a bbPress forum for the Out There For Argyll project, here. We’re still very much testing this feature, but any users of this website can log on and use it.
As you’ll see we have created forums for the overall project, and each of the confirmed [...]
We have just implemented the same theme portal-wide to ensure a consistent look and feel. The differing colours of the original design were not working, provoking confusion and artificial distinctions in information, so we retreated to our original Radio Fyneside red. We have also moved the main news and media site to forargyll.com – this [...]
Just a quick note to say we now have 10 news headlines generated from rss.fyneside.com displaying on the central site, and a whole slew of (mostly) relevant stories from external sites imported into our developing news taxonomy. We particularly like Radio News, because this carries all the feeds from the most relevant sites on radio [...]
