First, thank you for taking a stab at themes. I hope all is going well for you and everone else in that area. Please let us know when you have something. Before anyone goes and buys things there are probably FEC rules. I think I saw something come over the list saying there was a $250 personal

Apparently we are supposed to finish these within a week so I should report our status and ask for any direction or help. event.module is working nicely, but still has some rough edges. I am going to clean it up a bit today and tomorrow. export.module is working well. It might need some more

[hackers] Themes released on SourceForge

2003-07-24 Thread Neil Drumm
I put bluesky, simpledean, and Dean01 in a single tarball and released them on http://sf.net/projects/dean/. I will install them on http://dean.sf.net/ as soon as that web server decides to cooperate (probably by later tonight) so you can try them out for yourself. Has anyone contacted the

[hackers] Footers in themes

2003-07-24 Thread Neil Drumm
From what I have seen none of the three themes properly include the footer. This is necessary for sites which would like to use a nonstandard footer (of course the defualt ones will have a creative commons logo and a disclaimer). For example the SourceFogre sandbox includes a SourceForge icon

Re: [hackers] A current endorse dean page...

2003-07-25 Thread Neil Drumm
From what I know about endorse it is a form you fill out and spam all your friends with some premade Dean messages. That link looks like something to gather names (which we can also do, where do we put them?). The deanvolunteers page is closer to the talent database. How is that part going? We

Re: [hackers] PHP hosting recommendations for DeanSpace?

Multiple MySQL DBs would be rather nice. We could easily run multiple insances of Drupal then (our site, sample site, development site, sandboxes for developers). Also what will be the file access scheme? Will multiple developers be able to change files they control around like they can on the

[hackers] Event 0.3.2 released

2003-07-28 Thread Neil Drumm
Fixed a couple annoying things: for events to be in the upcoming events block or feed they had to be promoted and searching events by day searched in the server's timezone, not yours. If you happen to be upgrading only event.module changed. This should be the last release before 0.4 which will

After some talking with Moshe, sidebar.module has become a much simpler make_block.module. The new module will fit into Drupal much better. The design doc is at: http://www.hack4dean.org/phpwiki/index.php?make_block This page is a bit sparse on implementation details and heavy on design issues

[hackers] CVS modules and server

2003-07-29 Thread Neil Drumm
Right now we have a CVS module for every module we are doing a lot of work on and some defunct modules. At some point we should move to having an entire Drupal distribution which will become our kit in CVS. SourceForge's CVS servers are quite busy and we may want to consider hosting this
