Issue (long term)

  • !!! Toward end of the year 2023, need to migrate to Drupal 10
    • needs preparation and is major work
    • Drupal 9 security support will stop Nov 2023
  • !!! We need a valid mailbox with user id and password for un-spider, which allows redirect
    • was running via Werners account, currently no mail server connected to KP, to the outside
    • new account needs to be created for un-spider mail server, allowing mailing via website
    • ask Mateja if he can set this up / or needs to be set up by Vienna / JCV (un address) / or any external mail server provider (connected to cost)
      • referring to Juan Carlos, we cannot use current existing unspider [at] un.org mail address...(handled in Vienna, JCV does not even have the password)
      • https://un-spider.org/admin/config/system/smtp
    • server needs this to send out mails
  • Work on search function...
    • need to work on the concept; Search API module is installed but not configured and used yet; Default Search module can be deinstalled as soon Search API is configured
    • View needs to be set up / index...
    • need to set up a dedicated meeting w/ Werner

New entries (26.10.2023)

  • How to completely delete files from the KP?
    • see mail from Fri 20 Oct...
    • need to be accessed via ftp
    • server needs to be accessed with login via shell or ftp 192.168.10.8
      • no account for Martin yet...
  • We might need to unpublish (unpublishing wont do the trick, as the files are stored in a public file system and, as soon as you have the link to the specific file, you can always access it, no matter published or unpublished) all presentations (ppt and pdf) that we uploaded for events...
    • needs to be handled like to before mentioned...

Open from previous meetings

  • Concept for Early Warning publication integration into portal
    • publication by Juan Carlos to be integrated into the portal
    • Juan Carlos provided a layout idea visualization + example page(s)
    • idea is to have something similar to https://un-spider.org/links-and-resources/daotm
      • each chapter as a "tile"
      • chapters may have subchapters
    • will need to have blocks on the side bar for additional information / links
    • will need css adjustments...
    • taks for Martin: provide more specs...
  • !!! Contact form fix
  • Translation link behaviour...
  • How to remove navigation for certain recommended practices without breaking everything...
  • Juan Carlos mails requests with security
    • requirements by OICT
    • being dealt with by Werner w/ Mateja
      • Martin to check w/ Juan Carlos what is still required
  • Date Format
    • Due to the change of date formats, some tables need to be redesigned (some columns need to be wider)
      • task for Werner: readjust tables as defined by Martin (see mail)
  • Font color (CSS Theme)
  • Concept for better categorization of Data Sources
    • https://un-spider.org/links-and-resources/data-sources
    • e.g. distinction between: Raw Data Sources, Services, Applications
    • Task for Martin: define categorization values
      • create new taxonomy, enter values + translations, include as new field to "Data Sources"
  • Insert a disclaimer in the homepage (landing page). We used to have one in the previous versions, but I did not see it two weeks ago when we were discussing this issue. The disclaimer helps us raise awareness regarding the fact that the Portal is only for information purposes, and that any maps do not represent the official view of the UN on boundaries or territories.   If you cannot find it, I will also look for the text.
    • never existed, however, can be implemented
    • Task for Martin: provide text and where it needs to go...
      • https://un-spider.org/category/tagging/regional-support-office is empty....
        • bad example... there is no taxonomy regional support office
      • Task for Martin: check again what is happening here...
      • Task for Werner: check what is wrong with the taxonomy value pages...
        • URL alias directing to non existing terms
        • taxonomy term does not have content - empty page - "no result behaviour" needs to be adjusted
          • did not work first try, Werner will check

 

Backlog (not working on this at the moment, but for future task planning purposes)

  • Question: If we wanted to implement a calendar like: https://www.space4water.org/events how would this work?
    • need a module to be installed and a view needs to be created + css to polish...

Tasks with no solutions at the moment (here for documentation purposes)

  • New role needed
    • Intern w/ permissions to create translations
      • ... working with ICanLocalize Translator role, configured by Werner
      • role was defined and set with needed permissions, but still problems with creating translations... Translator role did not work as planned... Nuria currently using site admin role
      • not solved... translators will need to be site admins for now

 

Solved since last meeting

  • "Referenced RSO" translations..
    • we know the cause of it now and need to monitor it, if translations exist for RSOs, these are also listed in the Referenced RSOs, as soon as the translations are finalised, we can consider to include a filter, to only have the RSOs in the right translation/language, that is currently being used
    • status: translations finished
    • needs to be handled via a view, setting to be changed in the field settings, reference method: view (change from default)
      • view needs to be created first - reference view, in view can be set to language, following interface
    • update of status: this is already fixed actually. Problem was that some RSO pages existed as individual entities, not as translations. Even though they were unpublished, they would still appear in the "Referenced RSO" list. After deletion of those, it is all fine.
    • Fixed!
  • Spanish version, field names and headings...
    • should be all solved now, based on what Nuria provided
    • ... except for the rec practice buttons and one error that I have mentioned already (need to document further here)

Follow-ups

Next meeting:

... last week of November? (wait for JCV commenting on Werners contract situation)

 

To be scheduled (depending on Werner's and Martin's availability):

  • working on broken links script Werner assisting Martin
    • ... also check potential usage of tools for this, instead of creating script
  • dedicated meeting w/ Werner about search function
  • perhaps specific meeting for JCV publication...
