akgranerGood Morning14:47
akgraner:-)14:47
akgranerI'm going to be working on some links for a couple hours14:47
akgranerPeople have mentioned UWN is too LONG14:48
akgranerso I am thinking 2-3 sentences for all the sections except - General Community News and LoCo News14:48
akgranernhandler, what is the best way to set up an are on the new fridge so that UWN will have a searchable area14:49
nhandlerakgraner: Do you mean so that we can search all of the UWN articles for a particular topic?14:50
akgranerit you click on the UWN link and it will take you to a page where you can then see the current issue and have it searchable by topic14:50
akgranerat first I just want to get a current issue added and see how we can search it etc14:50
akgraneronce we get that fixed - we can then go back and bring in the archives - I have people ask me for ways to search back issues all the time14:51
nhandlerakgraner: I don't think WP lets you search like that. It sounds more like something you would use Ctrl+F for (or a javascript hack that we could add)14:51
akgraner(I know I know it's a hell of a lot of work  - so there is no hurry  - just seeing what is possible)14:52
akgranerahhh ok14:52
akgranerI'll poke around at it this weekend14:52
akgranerand see if I can't some more content14:52
nhandlerakgraner: Maybe add a note to the top of the UWN reminding people about using Ctrl+F to search it14:53
akgranerI think we could probable tell people about it in issue 207 - and start testing it publicly if we can get content added over the next week14:53
akgranernhandler, no what people were asking is how to see a list of say all LoCo stories from each issue etc14:53
akgranerwithout having to open everyone one of them14:53
akgranerI am not sure it's an easy thing14:54
nhandlerakgraner: Ah, ok. That is definitely possible. I'm not sure if the simple search we currently have would support it, but we could probably find an advanced search box that lets you restrict the search to a certain category/tag14:54
nhandlerAnd then have all UWN in that category or with that tag14:54
akgraneryep14:55
akgranerso like I said - priority is adding more content and getting it to a point where we can test it out and see what people like and don't like and get some feedback14:55
akgranerso I'll work on adding content to the sections that are already there14:56
akgranerDoes that sound doable this week?  or is it too aggressive you think?14:56
akgranernot for you to do all the work or anything just wondering your opinion on that goal and timeline14:57
nhandlerakgraner: I just downloaded the fridge rss feed and imported it to the new site. That should give us some content to play around with15:00
akgranerThanks!  I know one of the biggest complaints about the UWN Feed is it takes 3 clicks to get to the full issue15:01
akgranerwhich is why I wanted to get the full issue on it's own page on the site15:01
akgranerwe don't have to put the full issue on the Front page15:02
nhandlerakgraner: Let me play around with that a bit later. Having a page for UWN is definitely possible though15:02
akgranernhandler, thanks!15:03
