Forum OpenACS Q&A: OpenACS.org 4.5 Migration

Anyone who wants to help out with the new site post here!

We are testing migration of the bboards to the new forums package.

We are currently using the design from openacs.museatech.net, but any
designer who wants to help, just let us know. We are using the
edit-this-page package to make it easier to add content and organize
the sections.

There is a master template that handles the top navigation and there
are several etp templates for the various sections.

If someone wants to create a design in html that is also not a
problem. We can find someone to convert it to an adp.

Currently myself, Roberto Mello, and Ola Hansson are working on the site.

There is a bad design in the message-post page in forums that you will want to check out before the site goes live.  I've meant to post my corrections to the page in the sdm, but haven't had time to make the changes to the latest cvs version.

Among other problems which don't use the form-templating correctly, the most critical problem is that the command:

set message_id [db_nextval acs_object_id_seq]

is called with each page request.  If I don't actually post a message, but just reload the page over and over, I increment the sequence.

Anyway, thought I'd give you the heads up.
