CP012: TinyMCE

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 17:11:25 GMT

11/28/09 - can we install this advanced version on TinyMCE? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tinymce-advanced/screenshots/

I notice that since you installed the new version of TinyMCE that all comments are double spaced. This does not happen in a regular post.

Can the font size in the edit area be changed (increased)?

Please read the following posts to manage your LWPS account. Most pertain to conserving database space.

Your basic LWPS account is free. If we have to migrate to a larger server, we will have to start charging users who exceed certain storage limits.

LWPS PHP programmer: Transitions

Sat, 29 Dec 2007 16:53:28 GMT

There will come a time when you will begin to consider one of the following transitions while you work on the LWPS project.

I'm thinking of leaving the LWPS project. If the reason is because of something I said or did not say, or did or did not do, I hope you will add a comment below so I can learn what it is so I can try to fix it.

I will be leaving the LWPS project in "n" weeks. Please add a comment below that includes the following.
1. Indicate how weeks notice you are giving me.
2. Update our development wiki with the following:
  1. A list of incomplete tasks with documentation about each to pass on to teh next contractor.
  2. A statement that you will/will not be able to help a replacement contractor get on board, if I can find one before you leave.
  3. Tell me how much I owe you, or you owe me.
  4. A recommendation for a replacement, if you know one.

I'm planning to raise my biling rate in "n"months. Please add a comment with the new biling rate and when that will become effective.

Of course you will always be welcome as a member of LWPS even when you are no longer working on it.

New release 0.8 of LWPS/Elgg changes the appearance of community profiles. Please comment.

Thu, 28 Jun 2007 03:40:23 GMT

To all LWPS members who have created LWPS communities,

Most of us who have created LWPS communities have added text to the "Who Am I" section of the community profiles and that text is prominently displayed when anyone goes to that community profile.

We are testing [1] the new release 0.8 of Elgg and have discovered it significantly changes the way profiles are displayed. I need to ask for your comments in order to decide what course of action to take. I'm not in a hurry about this, particularly with the NCDA conference next week. But I would like to start a dialog sometime around mid-July.

So that you can compare the current with the new version. pick any community profile and display it. Edit the link/URL in your browser and add "dev." in front of "... lifeworkps.com/ ..." so it looks like "... dev.lifeworkps.com/ ... Hit the Enter key to browse that community on the development/test (DEV) platform. Remove the "dev." and you are back to the current/production/live (LIVE) LWPS.

Note on the DEV system that the "Who Am I" section is not displayed.

Note also that your personal profile on the DEV has the option to "Add a widget" that allows you to add/display any section(s) of your profile - including your "Who Am I' section. BUT NOTE that this "Add a widget" function is not available on communities.

The simple solution is for me to contract with Diana (our programmer) to add that widget to the community profiles.
Another is to ask the Elgg developers if they plan to add that widget. (I don't anticipate a prompt response.)
Possible solution three is to rework all of our profiles so we don't depend upon the "Who Am I" section. We just use the "Brief Description" to offer a link to a post in the community that contains the contents of the community profile.
What are your thoughts about these "solutions"?
What other ideas do you have?

[1] I have no date, nor date for a date when the current/live LWPS will be using the new release 0.8 Elgg code.
