We need to set up a new OD home page describing what we're up to, our services, philosophy and projects etc it should introduce the main organisational portals etc.
At the 4 August 2008 meeting at Wharf IT we decided that since we have such a crossover of ideas in common that we could collaborate on the new home page content to create one suitable to go on their systems. It should also offer the capability for user feedback to help refine the workshop ideas and content. We could have conditional content too based on IP.
Notes from discussion
- Use items from ontology for nav along top
- Portals with section 0 includes
- Have a navigation bar along top w/background graphic, poss. tabbed look
- Netcafe packages
- Check out pageflakes for customisation options

Homepage research
The RSS extension doesn't allow the rendering of the description, so I modified the rendering loop as follows:
/* Outputs the items */
$i = 0;
foreach ($rssArray['items'] as $item) {
$output .= '<div class=rss><h3><a href="'.$item['link'].'" ';
if ($egNoFollow) $output .= 'rel="nofollow"';
$output .= '>'.$item['title']."</a></h3>\n";
$desc = preg_replace("|\[rsslist:.+?\]|", "", $rss->unhtmlentities($item['description']));
$output .= "$desc</div>\n";
if (++$i == $number) break;
}
I've updated the code directly at MW:Extension:RSS Reader, so no patch is required now, instead add the "text" parameter to the rss tag. --nad 12:55, 17 August 2008 (NZST)
