Drupal - DHTML Menu/View/Cache bug...

Grrrr.. SCS's the menu inconsistence is caused by the internal cache... and just realized my site has this problem too lol

The problem:
When the visitors visit a cached page which built by VIEW module(view page),  DHTML menu uses the menu settings from cache instead of the settings from visitor's cookie.  The result is that the menu is not consistent when the visitors go to a view page.

Bug Report: http://drupal.org/node/601178

Temporary solution:
Disable page cache... the drawback is slower load time.

Project Date: 
May 2009 - Oct 2009
Roles Description: 
  • built the site using Drupal and neccessary modules.

Free Software and Open Source Symposium (FSOSS) is one of the large IT conference in Toronto.  It hosts by Seneca at York campus in October every year. The presenters discuss on the various topics which relate to open source, open content, open formats and anything that is OPEN and FREE in the computer world.  They also discuss about how these open projects have affected the society, from software development prespective to the media prespective.

FSOSS Presentation Proposal module - Testers Wanted

It has been a while since I posted my last FSOSS blog...  I finally started to work on FSOSS site lol... First thing I did is to get the new proposal form up...

The old form was ported from FSOSS 2007 site.  It's not Drupal site.  The form only provided couple basic function for registration.
Here is how it works: 
- Presenter submitted the form
- The form sent a notification email to the FSOSS staffs
- FSOSS staff had to create accounts and presentation/workshop node based on the data of the email... (This step is duplicated work... and waste of time... )

Therefore... A new form is born... I have rewritten the proposal submission form using Drupal's Form API in the past few days.... The last step is replaced by clicking checkboxes and buttons... lol
In the new form:
- Presenter submits the form

FSOSS 2009 website - planning

WOW.... Time flies...

Couple days ago..  Chris Tyler dropped me an email... it was about setting up FSOSS 2009 website... I was like... it's time for it already?!...

Anyway... fsoss.ca now redirects to FSOSS 2009 website...  there are not much contents...  the theme is same as previous...

First thing is to dupe whatever we have from 2008... then add the following new function...

Backend proposal registration automation

- The presentation and its speakers will register to the website upon submission.  An email will send to notify admins about the proposal.
- The presentation and speakers will wait for approval before showing up on the site.
