upgrade: it would be great if we could solve these things ...

i'm looking through the list of things & other magnetics posts to see what issues we might be able to solve during the upgrade process. here is a summary:

  • images: the current method of uploading and inserting images is cumbersome & doesn't work properly, e.g. you set it to align left or right in the pop-up window but it doesn't do this in the page, you have to do it again manually; & we have to reupload event logo images every time, when there are multiple events with the same logo. & we need a good slideshow display for the gallery pages - at the moment you click on a thumbnail & it opens that image in a new page, then you have to go back to view the next one.

  • groups: generally needs tidying up, according to the things in the list of things
  • translation: issue of posts showing up multiple times, & not showing up in calendars if not translated

  • posting: the preview function doesn't work, & for ordinary members there is no possibility for saving a draft; if i save something as not published, then the only place i can later find it is in the content list. it would be good if draft posts showed up on people's own profile pages (for them to see only).

  • notifications: we can't keep using this module in D7 & anyway it doesn't function well for this site. maybe there's another module we can use, or it can be incorporated into our better email newsletter system ... ?

  • logged-in welcome page: this could be a lot more interesting & useful, perhaps showing lists of latest posts in various categories?
