(e.g. Order of secondaries; renaming secondaries; link changes; display name changes etc...)
Currently working my way through list of changes.
Received more changes from G&R to spreadsheet.
Revised proposed plan, sent it G&R for review and approval.
Awaiting reply
Submitted spreadsheet to G&R.
Received some inquiries from G&R re navigation structure.(e.g. adding primary,
removing primary, designating tertiary items)
Sent email to BB (G&R) with suggestions and confirmation of website layout
Site is now reconfigured (see 29-01-15 SA's blog)
Finished remainder of requested changes.
Updated links.
Published site to pre-prod.
Sent email confirmation to LS, MH for review.
We had a site originally configured to support sub-primaries, and midway through development realized that we no longer wanted them.
You need to have edit permissions on the configuration set in Administration/Configuration Sets. If not, ask communications to set that up.
Configuration set
1) Go to Administration/Configuration Set and choose the configuration set.
2) Click on the view tab. The template should be [UVicCa:_internal/templates/UVic2012/UVicCa2012-3-2] and not [UVicCa:_internal/templates/UVic2012/UVicCa2012]. Click on "Template 3.2" (and not "Standard Desktop" beside "Outputs" near the top of the window. (Not sure why you can change this in the view tab.)
3) Click on the edit tab.
4) In 06-primary-navigation, the format field should have the value
[UVicCa:_internal/formats/navigation/uvic2012-32/one-level-uvic-horizontal-nav]
5) In 07-secondary-navigation, the format field should have the value UVicCa:_internal/formats/navigation/uvic2012/two-level-uvic-vertical-nav-primary-only]
6) Submit changes. Check in the view tab that the settings are correct. The view and edit tabs do not reliably display the same values for any of these three settings. Confirm by going to the home page and seeing if the space in the banner formerly allocated for subprimaries is gone (correct) or is still there (wrong).
Folder structure
The folder structure has to change from 3 levels deep to 2 levels deep (or 4 to 3 if you have sub-secondaries). Move each folder representing a secondary or tertiary section from inside the folder representing the subprimary to the folder representing the primary. When the subprimary folder is empty, delete it. The secondaries should now appear in the preview in the left column. For example:
change this structure with subprimary:
home
homesubprime
donate
jobpostings
news
contact
to this structure with no subprimary
home
donate
jobpostings
news
contact
You should not have to edit any of the metadata settings on the folders, nor metadata or output settings on the files.

I've written bash scripts to run linkchecker against the French, History and Women's Studies sites, and then XSLT the results into a human-friendly web page. There's a little more cleanup to do, I think (filtering out Skype links, possibly), but I think the results are a good replacement for the link checking that Comunications used to do, and initial feedback from the department folks is positive..
Uni 101 site wanted no left column. I used the administration/site configuration and tried to set the block for 07-secondary-navigation to "no block", but when I submitted that change, the configuration appeared not to be updated (i.e. the path to the block still appeared there) and the page itself still allocated space on the left side.
Wrote to JS, and she said she set 07-secondary-navigation and 08-quicklinks to "no block" and that generated the desired effect. (The site configuration now shows empty for those two content areas, and the actual page shows the main content area extending to the left edge.) I still don't understand what caused the behaviour I got. I did not set 08-quicklinks to "no block", so maybe failing to do that causes Cascade to ignore the fact that I did set 07-secondary-nav to "no block". I haven't tested that.
(reposted from entry accidentally posted to vacation blog)
New site now provisioned in new template version
Next steps:
- JN begin build out of new site
In progress:
- relocating more content into various sections of new template version
Next steps:
- continue relocating content

Stewart and I met with HT, IG to discuss their new Cascade site.
Discussion included: various features, recommendations, suggestions regarding structural layout;
photos; social media, content, timeframes
Next steps, tasks:
- HCMC: prepare spreadsheet based on today's tentative "layout"; arrange another meeting later in August to review/finalize spreadsheet in readiness for submission/approval to communications
- Dept: will review/update their content; attend next meeting to review/approve spreadsheet
- forwarded link to IG re cms tutorials
Cascade supports forms (i.e. if you manually enter the html tags for a form, Cascade will not corrupt them).
Cascade is using a php implementation of FormMail. The URL of the instance UVic is running is https://web.uvic.ca/fm.php . Technical docs on that are at https://github.com/andrewmriley/phpformmail, and they look very similar to other implementations of FM I've seen.
I've implemented a form on the UNI101 site. It is mechanically working, but will probably need some tweaking (e.g. error handling, layout) based on feedback from BC.
Uni 101 is switching over to Cascade format.
SA, JN, met with BC (Uni 101) to discuss new site. New site to reflect
most of the existing layout.
Application form is separate item and will be revised by HCMC
BC to input site content
In progress:
- building new site's structure
- sent email to BC requesting information related to layout structure; advising BC
of site status
Received request from SA(Med.St) for changes to courses page
Included new information as well as posters on site
Sent confirmation email to Med.St. (cc'd SA/HCMC) task completed and posted
Continuation of building new structure
Tertiaries displaying inconsistently at present will follow up at drop-in session
Start of inputting specific content to begin
Publication seems to have gone OK; saw that the banner was missing links to the faculty site and to the calendar so I fixed those, then set it to publish again.
Fixed a few last-minute bugs I found ahead of the final site publication tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed.
TG finished the first run through the History site the other day, and we're now tidying up and fixing minor annoyances. I've done a lot of table tweaking to get better layouts, and fixed a couple of oddities (pages that were unaccountably set to not be published, and that sort of thing).
Adapted some table-sorting JS I wrote for MoEML so that it works to enable sorting of faculty and staff profile tables on the History site, pending the possible future arrival of the more sophisticated filter system they've asked for in a ticket. There is apparently a similar system already available that you can invoke by adding the "tablesorter" class to your table, but of course we can do this with automatically-generated tables from the profile-block system, so our custom option is needed in this context, and it will serve as a model for adding JS to other Cascade contexts when custom features are needed.
Spent all day following these instructions:
http://web.uvic.ca:8080/~ucomcoop/docs/Building_and_Migrating_Sites/Migrating_From_2008_Template
In most cases, the simplest approach is to copy stuff over from an existing site (I used French). Sometimes it helps to screenshot the working site and copy settings from it (because you can't have two simultaneous sessions on Cascade in different locations, even with different browsers). I have virtually everything working except for the News and Events page, which is strangely borked, and the unit logo, which I think needs to be done by an official graphics person.
Departmental website maintainers have no easy way to generate a list of course info for their sites. However, somebody does, because pages like this exist. Wrote a script to download this page, patch it to make it well-formed enough to process, and then XSLT it into a couple of different sets of tables suitable for copy/pasting as source code into a departmental site. This is just a pilot, since the main courses will probably not be available in exactly this format, but it seems like a workable approach once we can find a similar way to access content through Banner.
There were none; I've added a default set to all major pages. After the final publish before freezing, we'll see if these have any effect on the search engine rankings for the site, which are not high at the moment.
Received request from DR (H&I) to update site with new photos.
Completed task and published site
This is the plan for History to move to the new templates:
The freeze of the current site will happen on May 9. This has been scheduled by JS, but we should check live publishing is in fact turned off before we start editing.
The site is scheduled to go live again on June 6.
Things to be done before the freeze:
- Change course codes from HIST to HSTR (TG).
- Update winter schedule (TG).
- Update contact info and add new page and info for incoming new prof (TG).
- Remove office hours (TG).
- Add a Field School page under Current Students (TG).
- Correct all existing titles and captions to sentence case (TG).
- Add keywords to all pages (if possible, globally) (MDH).
- Write headings/captions for future images, to save time later, and identify where banner images will link to (the "Read more" link) (TG).
- Investigate the possibility of scripting a scrape of the Banner course information to create source code for Courses pages that can be pasted into Cascade (MDH).
- Investigate ways to make the Twitter feed more active (TG).
- current-students/graduate landing page: break up the content with headings (GT).
- current-students/graduate/degrees-completed: This should be moved to future-students/graduate, or perhaps mirrored there (TG).
Notes on specific pages from our discussions:
- Home page:
- 3 big buttons, identical to French.
- Banner with rotating images.
- 2 sentences of "Why study...".
- 2 column-boxes, one for undergrad nd one for grad.
- A tab control with tabs for YouTube (main tab with video), Facebook and Twitter.
- fhome/why-history-is-crucial: recycle content to elsewhere. Take a one-sentence quote for the home page (see www.uvic.ca/anth).
- future-students/undergraduate/careers-in-history: sentence case for title; table of job areas might be converted into a multi-column box with no outline.
- Course pages: use expanding boxes sorted into levels as on the anth site.
- home/offic-hours: MH to set up a block for office hours as a div, for each fac member's page, and then set up a block containing all of those blocks; the latter may be able to use CSS display: table-row etc. to show the aggregated office hours content as a table.
- future-students/undergraduate/awards-scholarships-undergrad: Use accordions for the three scholarships.
- Faculty page: MH and TG to liaise with Systems through JS to arrange the creation of a search-and-filter widget to supercede the existing error-prone duplication of content. This will likely cost money.
- current-students landing page: Add a banner and some content from the chair's letter, and move the video down the page.
- current-students/undergraduate/research: definitely needs a picture.
- current-students/undergraduate/find-your-professor: MH to investigate creating this as a block. Perhaps the Office Hours block described above can be designed to fill both purposes.
- current-students/coop-and-career: Get a copy of the picture used on the Coop site, which features a History student, in uncropped format, and re-use it.
Long and productive meeting with TG and JS today. Details to be laid out tomorrow...
Received request from DR (H&I)to update website with new photos.
Currently working with new photos to be included in various locations throughout the site.
Received request from BAK to add new announcement with links to website.
Completed the task.
Sent email confirmation to BAK task completed.
Prepared revised excel site spreadsheet based on April 16th revisions.
Sent to PAAS for review and reply.
Cc'd SA, JS on correspondence.
Received request from BAK for several updates/changes to the announcement
section.
Archived various outdated announcements.
Added new photos to site.
Sent email confirmation to BAK site updated.
TI,SC,JS,SA,JN: attended another meeting to discuss together different recommendations to site structure and content.
The first broken links report since the reorganization threw up a bunch of links to PDFs now missing (which I've now commented out) as well as "external" links which were actually to pages internal to the site, so weren't caught or updated by the Cascade link checker after the reorg. I've fixed those.
Reorganized the History site on the basis of Future/Current students rather than Undergrad/Grad, using a spreadsheet plan they sent me last week. There are a couple of minor queries I've sent to them, but basically everything seems to be working fine. The site is published to the dev servers (and currently restricted to publishing only there). When they're ready to go live next week, they'll contact JS and arrange to have the live site nuked, and then publish to live.
History have come up with a well-organized plan for a site reorg, from Undergrad/Grad to Future/Current. We're going to carry out that change before we start on the template change. I'm going to implement it next week (starting 17th); I've arranged with JS to turn off live publishing on Monday morning, and I'll make the changes and publish to dev, then the following week (when I'm away), TG will check everything's OK then tell JS to turn live publishing back on, clean out the old site, and publish to live.
