>From perlmonger Bobbi Fox: A co-worker who just went out on maternity leave had an outside gig with Public Responsibility in Medicine and Research (PRIM&R) that was left unfinished by the inconsiderate arrival of the baby :-)
She had referred them to me as the resident perl geek in my department, estimating that it would take me about 5 hours to complete, but I don't have time to handle it. PRIM&R is offering $50/hour for the estimated 5 hours. Below is a description of the job. If you are interested, please contact Anne Meade [[email protected]] -- you can cc me [[email protected]] if you like so I know what's going on. She has further details for you to work from, like my co-worker's notes, etc., that I'm not burdening this message with. I'm presuming you are all professional enough not to undermine my co-worker, who I imagine will want to continue her work with PRIM&R after she's recovered. Job description: [co-worker] had been working with Anne to upgrading a php based forum, www.irbforum.org, to the latest version of Phorum [http://www.phorum.org]; and there are a few last minute items that need attention: 1. Email server (highest priority): The forum historically was an email-based forum, where people could submit posts via email (they would then end up in the moderation queue), and people would receive daily digests of posts that were posted. Since the upgrade, it is no longer possible to submit posts via email, and daily digests are not beings sent (and emails to [email protected] are bouncing --that was how people used to be able to submit posts). [co-worker] had tried working on this email sever to get it to work but she said "I updated the PERL scripts that deal with the mail. However, I'm having some difficulty getting it set up in dev and I don't want to test on the production server. One rather vague piece of info that I have is that the previous developers installed a different mail server on the production machine (other than the default one that comes with the server). Do you have any more info than this? Ideally, I'd like to have the dev server set up the same way so that I can test the email functionality." 2. Unapproved messages opening in new window (low priority): From the list of unapproved messages, when you click on a message, it opens in a new tab in Chrome. Can we change that so they do not open in a new tab? _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
