Web Site progress update

[patrick_ohalloran]

Hi All,

Some of you may have noticed registration hasn't opened up yet - that's because I've not added some security features and put a site backup scheme in place. I plan to do this next week. Also the pylon results will be posted shortly, I have info from Adam and pictures from Jon. Sorry for the delay.

Hi,

I've moved the "login" module to the top entry on the left hand column and also made it available on all pages except the Forum. Previously it was only available on the home page - not very usable.

Hi,

I've turned on a Gallery2 image extractor module (it had a little that we recently fixed).

When submitting a news article you can now directly insert a gallery image. The max size you should use for an item that will make it onto the front page is ~526 px. for example this extracts the Float fly image taken by Jon. You can find the image ID in the inage URL.

{mosg2image blocks=specificItem itemId=1676 show=fullSize maxSize=526}
<p>
It looks like there was a great turn out at Sal lake for Sid's first '07 float ...

So, the big problem with the above is the use of 'fullsize' - the first attempt had a 3M on the front page. Not good  . So I  saved the 640x480 image from Jon's gallery into mine and used it instead. Not really a usable approach.

It's July and registration is still not open to all members. I still have several tasks to do before we open up. Hopefully I'll be able to do it by mid August.

Again, sorry for the delay,
