i replied to chris's PM about this yesterday, so i'll just paste the text of that here, reply to other points mentioned in his post above, and add on a reply to his latest PM. Heyo Chris, Thanks for the thoughts. As commented on in past and current BB discussions, the current format for our site lea...

nix asked me to post to ask if anyone has a spare mobile phone that could be donated for our Workshop Coordinator?

what part of the hall, above and beyond AF Sound Team equipment maintenance, would now be an AF responsibility? fixing windows/wiring/etc i take it? was there anyone specifically responsible for this before, or is this just a responsibility boundary/framework that wasn't explicitly stated before? on...

there we go

milk

what text exactly do you want encoded?

milk

another skip? christ...! just looked myself - why the heck is there a bed in there? :shock: and two bikes?! not to mention all the other crap (if i didn't know there had been a skip, i couldn't have said anything had changed). i'm angry at how blatantly piss-taking some people are with using the roo...

milk

i understand that there has been a backlog of getting things ported over to the new accounting system. what might be the status of this? (i.e., how long until we can publically post our accounts, or at least a summary of things?). no pressure, just curious!

milk

the shop exists online - it's just not maintained by anyone. maybe it would be worth advertising for someone to maintain it and deal with orders to get it going again?

milk

i think the main issue currently is that publishing the programme as a News item makes it look fugly. i think we should ask whoever does Events and Promotions to add Event items rather than just copy paste the text (and sometimes not even bothering to format it to make it more legible). i'm not sure...

milk

i've a 27cm loose bottom tin - is that too big or no?

milk

i'm afraid i think i have a Beltane meet on this Thursday evening, but don't let that stop yous.

milk

i've removed the second underscore in the forwarder. nix - if this is wrong, pm me and i'll change it again.

milk

it's a bit full in there. i hear there's a skip coming next week to help with clearing. what's the situation with this? is help required? thanks!

milk

ah coolies, fair dos

milk

who does the flat screen monitor in the Action Room belong to? if we could get a box setup, it could be used to display Forest event information in the cafe by aggregating it from the main website?

milk

they're only showing items from this month so the View must be misconfigured. it says the SQL query contains; WHERE ((node.status <> 0) AND (node.type in ('event')) AND (term_node.tid = 7)) AND ((DATE_FORMAT(FROM_UNIXTIME(node_data_field_event_start.field_event_start_value), '%Y-%m-%d') >= '2010-02-...

milk

cool, thanks. could i possibly pick them up from you at your work either thursday or friday daytime?

milk

IT Team meet sounds a plan.

milk

upgraded a few modules

milk

hey rachel, i believe i vaguely know yourself through Techmeetup? computer donations would be appreciated, and Ubuntu (or Xubuntu if the spec isn't that hot) would be braw. our main problem currently is a lack of an IT Coordinator for The Forest (or just anyone with the appropriate time and skills) ...

milk

i created extra block displays for the event calendar View for each event type (apart from 'General meeting', which i'll probably add into the 'Other Free Events' block).. this means there are now four upcoming event list blocks on the right hand side of the front page, making it much easier to tell...

milk

ah, the programme is just out and it notes there is a gig on (which wasn't on the main website's calendar) with 5 bands, so probably not i'd guess? only requiring one mic now though..

milk

there are apparently no events on in the café on Friday evening. does anyone have an issue with my borrowing two DI boxes and a couple of mics for the Femmestration event at BRD on Friday evening? i'd return them on Saturday afternoon. obviously, if something event requiring this equipment is booked...

woah, woah, there is it, the [signature link] switch has been flicked, on all three accounts (lizgoode206, chellebauer2, donmacp) as well! fuck you, you fucking spamming cunt. all from the same ip. cocking banned, signatures fucked with and reported to google (for a second time). say goodbye to your...

milk

just filled it out, but fraid i've got Queer Mutiny at the BRD on friday (and thurs the 25th is the VA WG meet). wednesday of next week or the week after would prolly be best for me anyway.

milk

ach, shit, i just consented to doing the sound for the femmenstration event in the café that evening earlier. least i'll be in The Forest for once!

milk

weird, have you changed your profile avatar recently? it's like the BB is trying to send it but then it decides not to display for some reason.

milk

jukeboxes can be nifty, but yeah, The Forest has a very big free/open ethos when it comes to participation, and the current laptop setup is as much equipment as we require to have auditory entertainment in the cafe. n.b. the current laptop jukebox's Last.fm account a Last.fm group for Forest patrons

milk

one idea might be to check whether the addon module providing this functionality is applied correctly currently. possibly just reinstalling it afresh might fix things.

milk

mike - i was wrong, the date argument in the url uses hyphens to demark the datetime variables (i.e., "2010-02-03"). the path for the test View (event_calendar2) is set to "eventcalendar2/%/%" (%'s being arguments that are passed into the view). the Arguments for the event_calendar2 view (NOTE: this...

milk

whoops, i meant as a news item, rather than as an event item. events are more for specific events with a start and finish date/time. fixed it for ya.

milk

But I don't think you can simply call these policies 'illiberal,' if you take a closer look at the cultural and historical context you're speaking about, including the power structures at play and the fact that this was a decision taken collectively/by consensu, by the communities (and especially a...

milk

done!

milk

access granted!

milk

would you be able to post news such as this on the main website? thanks!

milk

by my last post, i mean that you can run a wordpress blog on the Forest server and have a non-theforest.org.uk web address for it. regarding the existing site - it would be possible to have a separate TK site theme for it's own section. it would also be possible to have things appear a bit more dyna...

lynne noted today that 'View Active Topics' wasn't working. i checked and it turns out that there was a bug in earlier versions of phpBB3 which means that forums turned up on that page regardless of their actual Active Topic setting. so i've turned this setting on for all forums (50 config page tabs...

standup comedy is welcome! to book, just ask to put an entry in the events diary behind the café kitchen counter. tips for organising an event can be found here

milk

It is free but we can't have our own domain name or change the code at all

it's possible to do this with the current webserver, i.e. use a TK specific domain for a TK specific site.

milk

you are now!

milk

next tuesday evening good for you?

milk

cool, thanks. web team meet coming up soonish..
