Working on the Menus...Again...and other stuff


I have been working like a dog on our site! ARF ARF.



Main Menu, User Menus and Static Content

I synched all the static content pages and the menu items so they are in the same order. I did a fair amount of testing on the menus, links, etc. I worked out quite a few bugs.



Under the Main Menu--Added Support/Software, Support/Glossary

I added some software download links--if there is any other software that students would need, feel free to add it! Also worked on the Glossary--added terms for the PowerPoint Glossary.



Documents Upload for Students/Teachers

I reconfigured DocMan Module to accept uploaded files. I set the permissions so that it requires registration and login before you can upload/download files. Guests can browse but not upload or download. Basically, you just register as a user, log-in, go to Main Menu/Support/Documents and click on the category of documents to view. If you are logged-in, you will see a upload button. (or maybe not since the background and button text are white!!!) It works greatl--in fact I uploaded a file from my computer into the Student Documents area.



My Bio

I added my bio, such as it is. I describe myself as tech support.



Under the User Menu--New Tech Forum Topic Added, User Blog

I set up a Technology Support Forum area with three different topics related to user tech support. Check it out!



Working on Site User Manual

I started working on a Site User Manual that will assist users in working with the front-end of the site. I plan to use scribd.com and will wrap the manual into joomla. I did discover one issue with the scribd.com ppt wrap that Bjorn put up--everything is active in the heading--so if you click on it, it brings you into the scribd.com site. So, does this mean that we should have a special scribd.com holding area for our site files so noone gets into our personal files...just wondering???

I will have the manual up in a few days....



Well, over and out, for now....
