Probably the easiest way to do this is to add a setting in the admin configuration to the location of a blog. That way, you can use an external or internal blog. Then a link to the blog should be added to the navigation.

From v...@aarontitus.net on March 08, 2013 15:31:31 Chris will add an admin configuration for a blog link.

Aaron will set up a Wordpress blog, and a CNAME for blog.crisiscleanup.org

From v...@aarontitus.net on March 24, 2013 04:08:43 The blog is live (blog.crisiscleanup.org), and ready to be implemented on the site- we should add a link to the home page, and add a configuration in the admin panel for the blog link.

From cpw...@gmail.com on March 24, 2013 21:50:48 Looks good! Should the link be a tab at the top, e.g. next to HOME?

aarontitus commented 11 years ago

From v...@aarontitus.net on March 24, 2013 23:03:39 Yes. Let's put it to the right of "public map".

aarontitus commented 11 years ago

From cpw...@gmail.com on March 25, 2013 12:10:11 This is done, hard coded for the moment.

We also need a prominent link (at the top and/or in a sidebar) on all blog pages back to the main website (so many blogs don't - common antipattern!)

From v...@aarontitus.net on March 25, 2013 12:10:34 Hmmm... I guess that didn't work (see attached image of nav bar scrolling to second line). Let's take out "Contact Us" from the nav bar, and instead put an icon of a letter next to the twitter icon in the top right (again, see attached image), that links to /contact.

Thanks.

From v...@aarontitus.net on March 25, 2013 12:28:00 ...and once Andy creates our Facebook Page, we'll want to add a Facebook icon next to the Twitter icon, as well.

From v...@aarontitus.net on March 25, 2013 13:01:43 Chris- I added links from the blog back to crisiscleanup.org.

From v...@aarontitus.net on March 25, 2013 13:03:49 This is strange: The error in comment #6 happens when I am logged in, in Firefox, but not when I am not logged in, in IE. See attached image.

From cpw...@gmail.com on March 25, 2013 15:26:13 Re #6: This behaviour is a deliberate behaviour of the responsive HTML+CSS design template, I think - there's no width limit because it is meant to behave differently based on your screen size.

An alternative that would keep the common and expected contact us link as it is: replace "PUBLIC MAP" with "ASSESSMENT FORM" when the user is logged in?

From cpw...@gmail.com on March 25, 2013 15:26:32 CC Andy re design template

aarontitus commented 11 years ago

From cpw...@gmail.com on March 25, 2013 17:41:14 Done - now live on testbed.

aarontitus commented 11 years ago

From v...@aarontitus.net on March 25, 2013 18:10:03 Looks good to me. Is the link to the blog hard-coded, or is the configurable version in the Admin Panel somewhere?

aarontitus commented 11 years ago

From cpw...@gmail.com on March 25, 2013 18:13:27 It's hard-coded as it stands. Won't other parts of the design/HTML need to be changed anyway, necessitating edits to the code base anyway?

aarontitus commented 11 years ago

From v...@aarontitus.net on March 25, 2013 19:23:24 Yeah, I guess so. There are higher priorities anyway, so I'm going to mark this one as fixed.
