Dreamweaver and PHP Woes

So both Scott and DJan are unhappy to find that they couldn't see the included style sheets among all the other php included files. I realized that if you change the include syntax everything seems to be recognized by Dreamweaver

<?php include ('files'); ?>

Slow Processes

Today I created a form for the SERE lab, which writes a comma delimited text file ".csv" so every time the form is submitted the csv file is updated. This way steve will be able to download the most up to date file and open it as an excel spreadsheet. This is still in the works, but once it's in production I plan for an email to be sent with the info as well...

Drupal Adventures Continue

Today I started further down the Drupal Rabbit hole. I brushed up the SERE drupal site by placing all scripts and css images in the theme folder. I've done a mass upload for any images that I think should go on the site and that way it's categorized and ready to go in image assist. So far I placed people and logos up, but I'm sure I'll have to further categorize and upload images as I get going.

Office Space

Today I'm trying to stay out of trouble but it seems my attempt to make a test drupal site, discussing why we are making the shanghai site so oddly different then the rest of the site, and attempt to start a drupal meeting all resulted in me getting in trouble. Which most of these are me try to take initiative and get things done, but it just seems to result in someone getting all up in arms.
Today I worked a bit on the Sere site:

  • Updated Staff page
  • New LAR page is live

Randomness

I fixed up CCB's Shanghai site by making it look a bit more like the rest of the CCB site, but I'm still dissatisfied with the disconnectedness of these website and I'm currently unsure how to resolve this issue. This page is supposed to be disconnected to CCB, but at the same time we are placing it under the CCB site and CCB is a big player in doing the work for the conference.
I also installed google analytics for all 4 sites and gave an access account to Scott

Postcard

Today I created a postcard to market the shanghai conference:

I'm currently downloading the asp files to my laptop to fix the character problems I've been having the past few days with the files I downloaded to my office computer. For some reason the characters are all correct on my laptop.

ASP ing

Today I updated and made the new top nav bar for the ASP pages live. This took lots of CSS code revamping and some of the images also needed to be revamped to look correct. I also corrected the blue line at the top of the page to look less choppy and rolled over the image fixes to all other sites. Scott has decided to stick with the side nav bar on the sub pages even though this is very repetitive.

I'm currently working on a drupal Ucar theme. So far it looks pretty close to the sere front page, but it still has a ways to go and I need to implement the menu correctly as well.

End of the Week

Today CCB briefed me on some things going on around here that need to be done. Here's a list of things needed to be done:

  1. Fix the first image on the rotating images on CCB
  2. Look into a Publishers Database --> email sent to Kay Sandoval
  3. Fix 2007 catalog pages links (Completed today)

New Menu

So on Day two I went to a meeting of web developers and I felt a large disconnect on how things are done on each division or lab. There is no agreed upon technology or way of doing things. They seem to want to have the same look and feel with the top menu and maybe there are some other standards they have agreed upon, but I'm not certain on that.
