Website Links

Cool, I’ve worked on Arts Partners site a few times but it’s set up very different on the back end than ours. Let’s find some time after October 15th to get me up to speed.

Drop me a DM on how to get started and I’ll see what I can break… um fix?

@shack, @Malissa, @james.a.seymour (and anyone else who wants to help) do you have time on the 16th between 1:00 and 7:00 to go over how to make changes to the website and make a plan for getting things up to date?

I should be available.

Yes, I should be able to meet then

I used to build websites exclusively with WordPress, admittedly its been several years but I wouldn’t mind helping.

Mind if I join? I’m supposed to be helping make signs (with QR codes that link back to the site) for the space and I’d love to learn how to work the website!

Not at all. The more the merrier.

I have draperies to install and students to measure for costumes for a play. I will try my best to be there.

Where is everyone meeting for this? What classroom or area?

Good question. We’ll probably use classroom 2. I’m currently in the Fab Lab.

Tried to move them to the top, but that doesn’t work. Might be a theme issue, but top level links are not clickable.

Because they are separate websites. I don’t think that behavior is (easily) configurable in Discourse or MediaWiki even if we wanted to change it. We tried to force those links to open in new tabs, but that also didn’t work.

Other than the old pictures I think these are all addressed. Thanks again for the help!

I had tried to get a bit of crowd sourcing going on to get some people to curate a list of pictures . Website picture short of Rustin not much of a response.

Getting the list of photos that is the time consuming part.

Short of that the best Idea I have is to scrape all the pictures I can from discord server. I will do a quick sort through them to make sure there is nothing objectionable. I will upload them an admin folder and see if I/we find some that we want on the website.

After that there will need to be some work to resize and correct the aspect ratio so it renders correct from WP.

Can we use the badge pictures?

Sorry, I only see the forum login pictures. We don’t keep the badge pictures.

Either way that is the first thing I was doing to delete, but maybe you are onto something. Are we talking the post office most wanted posters? Random member of the day? Best/Worst hair?

All of the pictures I take are uploaded to Google My Business listing for MakeICT. You’re welcome to take any from there.

Google blocks image copying from Maps and Business listings making it painful to copy them. :frowning:

Darn! When did that happen? What’s a better place to store the 1000+ pictures I’ve taken for easy of use?
