A shorter week due to a meeting at work and other commitments there.
I wasn't working on the website last week, but this week here's what I got up to this week:
- Correcting a fault with one of the updated modules to get the 'Year' view of the Calendar to display correctly. The fix to it is documented here.
- Editing CSS for parts of the Calendar and Home view to make them fit in with the design of the site more.
- I've changed some of the photos used in the Slideshows where the quality of the image wasn't great.
- 0.5 day training with Ali
- Installed the SWF Tools module, which requires a little more reading of the documentation than other modules when you're setting it up. But once you've done this, it works very well. It means I can easily add swf files to pages, so I've now got the Flash animation slideshows working on the Home and Well-being pages (now I've done this it'll be very easy to add them to the other pages once the images have been confirmed for those pages).
- I'm not sure why, but the Home page started doing funny things at one point, so I had my first go at dropping the data from the database and importing a backup of it to set things back to normal. It was a fairly terrifying experience having not done this before, but it all went smoothly and just highlights the importance of keeping regular backups of the database (and of course any other files your site uses).
- Added a 'Looking Back' section to Home page
- updated the CCK module to the latest version
Here's how the Home page is currently looking. Most of it's there now and, thanks to a training session last week, things like rounded corners in CSS are there now. This is something I'd been struggling with up until that point! I also have the text inline with the images in the News section now, and various other fixes. (The 'Quick Links' section is there twice as I'm experimenting with it):
