Free Trial message on website #371

Closed NickWeir63 closed 9 years ago

NickWeir63 commented 9 years ago

We agreed to put the following message up at the top on the homepage. (This is part of a bigger wordpress editing job that Mags has agreed to take on - see Word doc "Proposed changes to OFN UK website home page text") Anyway here is the wording for the top of the homepage:

Until July 2015 several UK food hubs and producers are using this Open Food Network (OFN) software on a free trial basis. We are also setting up a co-operative structure which will coordinate the development of OFN in the UK. This cooperative will be funded by contributions from OFN users like you. If you would like to help set up this co-op please contact hello@openfoodnetwork.org.uk

Hi Nick, are you abel to add labels (so add the label 'uk' to your issues) or you don't have enough permission to do that?

NickWeir63 commented 9 years ago

Hi Kirsten, i dont think i have permission - but that is because i cant see an option to add labels - where should i see that option?

kirstenalarsen commented 9 years ago

on the right hand side by the comment?

NickWeir63 commented 9 years ago

yes i can see there that you have added the UK label but there are no options for me to add more labels. who do i need to ask to get permission?

kirstenalarsen commented 9 years ago

i think it will be a @rohanm or @oeoeaio thing, but let me have a quick look and see if i can do it . .

thanks - i will be off line for a few hours now

kirstenalarsen commented 9 years ago

ok, I can't do it . . but looks like @pmackay is an owner, and I think he's 'active' right now - Paul are you able to either a) add Nick, Fifemags and Alexis (not sure if she's already signed up on github nick?) to the Developers group OR b) create a Testers group and add them to that . . so they can label issues and assign themselves (or others) to them?

kirstenalarsen commented 9 years ago

no worries. taking to github like duck to water :)

Paul - please can you give Mags the login details so that she can update the UK website with this message. thanks N

pmackay commented 9 years ago

@kirstenalarsen @RohanM About the homepage, @NickWeir63 has suggested inserting a message above the list of hubs. Would it be ok if I insert another partial for highlight messages that could be configured by locale? Or do you have any other suggestions? Have you discussed how custom site messages such as this could be handled easily by one site in a way that doesnt affect other installations?

kirstenalarsen commented 9 years ago

We had a quick discussion about this this week, fine if you want to do a banner / flash message that appears at the top of the hub list page (and user can close) - like happens on the shop. Would that work?

NickWeir63 commented 9 years ago

This sounds ideal - thanks. Can we do it now?

pmackay commented 9 years ago

@kirstenalarsen do you mean something similar to the shopfront (open/closed) messages? If so, I cannot see anything like that for the overall site. Is there any place where sitewide messages can be stored? If not, where would they go in the admin preferences?

There is a CMS admin tab under Configuration, but is the CMS not being used?

RohanM commented 9 years ago

@kirstenalarsen Could you attach a screenshot of the banner/flash message that you mentioned as appearing on the shop? I'm not sure which one you mean.

@pmackay That's correct, the CMS is not currently in use. Your idea of configuring that message by locale sounds good to me for the moment. It'd be great to have something like a CMS for some of these site messages, but I think we'd want to spend a bit more time designing that kind of feature - not suitable if you need something up quickly.

summerscope commented 9 years ago

hi @NickWeir63 @pmackay sorry for being late to the party on this issue. please see my feedback on paul's pull request here: https://github.com/openfoodfoundation/openfoodnetwork/pull/494 and let me know your feedback :)

pmackay commented 9 years ago

I'm not sure how important @NickWeir63 felt this messaging was for the site. Its taken longer to put together cos I'm on and off the work.

I dont mind waiting for the wider design work to finish, but @RohanM didnt mention this when we discussed how to do this technically - when did your work start @summerscope? Would have been handy to know earlier and save the time/cost of doing it, given very limited resources available to us :)

NickWeir63 commented 9 years ago

Thanks @summerscope - yes we can wait. I am happy to skype on this but would probably be out of my depth - maybe best for me to leave it to @pmackay but let me know if i can contribute at all
