Working group - CKeditor config

Updated: 6/13/11

Questions:

  1. Which Block formatting options should be available via CKEditor?
  2. How should WYSIWYG buttons be grouped?
  3. How should button setting be configured for different roles/groups? (i.e. Drupal Basic vs. Drupal Full)

Tasks completed:

Nat (supakit) has setup a sandbox for CKEditor and D7 Theme development:
https://wcmdemo.sfsu.edu/d7demo/

…as well as an SVN repo:
https://svn.sfsu.edu/drupal_campus/svn/branches/d7campus/d7demo/

Chris (cclark) has provided a customized CKEditor configuration that displays webtemplate styles in the editing area and paragraph and div formatting dropdowns.

Some discussion has already started--check the comments below for details.





Summary:

Decide which buttons should be available to Editors, Publishers, and Admins in the CKEditor as well as adding the template styles into the styles drop down for CKEditor.

Working group - D7 themes

Update: 6/13/11

Issues


  1. Need clarification about parameters, constraints and goals for Authenticated theme. (Seems to be outside of capabilities and responsibility of working group.)
  2. Amount of work, expectations, goals, and timelines are too vague for most participants to commit time and effort to theme project.

Questions:


  1. Use a Starter/Base theme for future theme development?
  2. Availability of full-width template region located in the imagestripe?

Completed items:


  1. Nat (supakit) has setup a project demo and code repo:
    https://wcmdemo.sfsu.edu/d7demo/
    https://svn.sfsu.edu/drupal_campus/svn/branches/d7campus/d7demo/
  2. Webtemplate 1.06 will be release tomorrow June 14. In this meeting, Wiebke (wiebke) confirmed that changes are CSS changes and are not major changes to layout or markup structure.
  3. While setting up a prototype on WCM, I've provided a number of theme fixes to Nat that addressed many of the layout issues with the current D6 theme:
