Known Bugs

A list of known problems in the CS Club website:

Known Bugs

  • Gallery: The front page thumbnail images are all broken.
    • I think this might be fixable if we can get ImageMagick installed. Waiting on Roger to install the base jpg/png/zlib libraries it depends on, or I might get impatient and compile them myself.
  • Apache: The log files are getting spewed into randomly named files in the home directory.
    • Waiting on Roger to try modifying our httpd configuration again so that the files will go to ~/log and be rotated monthly. The last time we tried this, my suggestions broke the server somehow.
    • Update: Logs are now going to ~/log but they are still randomly named.
  • PHP was compiled without GD. This gives us an annoying error on the system status report. It also prevents us from running the Taxonomy Image module or an image-based capcha.
    • Waiting on Roger to look into upgrading PHP from whatever source we originally got it from.
  • Revision log messages are lost on preview.
    • The textarea name is "edit-log".
  • Event CSS: The weekend TDs in the calendar lose borders in Firefox.
    • Opera and IE are fine. This also seems to depend on my custom modifications to the CSS. -dmt
    • position: relative alone seems to be enough to cause this problem.
  • DHTML Menus: Sometimes, when opening a new page, a menu is closed but its parent's arrow is in the "open" position. Clicking the parent twice will open the window.
    • A new version of the module has been installed since this was last seen.
  • .htaccess 404s: The Drupal 404 page is displayed for 404s on users' personal home pages.
    • This is caused by the sitewide Apache configuration.

Pending Feature Requests

  • Taxonomy: There is no easy way for users to view a taxonomy. Users should be able to see a list of terms with a count, a tagadelic tag cloud, whatever else sounds interesting.
  • Projects: Add some interesting projects to the page.
  • Iconizer: It doesn't have an icon pack so the administration icons are all just question marks. The module is turned off until this is fixed.
  • Event: Make clicked calendar links go to the event node when there is a single event in the day, not the one day in the calendar.
  • Send a daily or weekly digest of new nodes and comments to users who request it.
  • Pages: On pages only, show submission time and last edit time.
  • Allow guests to use users' Contact forms (with a captcha)
    • http://drupal.org/node/58224 comment #130 onward
  • Put SSL on the server so users can log in securely.
    • Waiting on Roger to look into it.
  • Allow CS Club members to promote an item to the front page.
    • This is not going to be fixed any time soon. Drupal requires users have the "administer nodes" permission to promote a story, but that permission gives someone full administrator access to just about everything. Giving that to everyone is not a good idea.
