I've added significant rights to the OIT role for this site, which is fed from the "OIT People" application.  Basically, I'm granting everyone in OIT the same rights that we used to have only for ISO staff, meaning personal blogs, forum creation, book editing, and overall content creation rights.

Be careful what you wish for!

E-mail notifications have been added to this site, as some folks were missing them from our earlier blogs/drupal sites.  You'll see a link for "subscriptions" at the bottom of most content.

Tomorrow is International Talk like a Pirate day

I have some content filters in place on the ISO blog that I will be testing in honor of this most sacred and special of days.  Please don't page anyone to report problems with our site tomorrow, it's all part of a scheduled, planned test.

Folks,

I added a drupal module, JTooltips, to the ISO blog.  I'm trying to make our site "richer" without adding a lot of work to content creation.  It shouldn't impact access, just AJAX things up a bit, but if people hate it, it's easy enough to turn off.

Taxonomy Access Control Lite (TAC Lite) is a module that we have downloaded from the main Drupal site and provided as part of our standard Drupal kit installation. This module is already installed on your Drupal site, but it remains disabled by default.

Normally, the wraplogin module will automatically create an account for a user as soon as they first login to your website. There are times when you will want to create an accoutn ahead of time. Most likely to assign Roles and/or Permissions for users who will be allowed to develop content for your site. There are a few special features of a WRAP user account that you need to be aware of to create the account properly.

Administrator tasks related to user management.

This has happened on a few of our sites. The site works fine, then one day Drupal does an HTTP request and fails for some reason. It throws the HTTP request fails flag, and absolutely refuses to clear it again after the problem is resolved. This results in aggreation items failing to update, crons not running correctly, and the update checking mechanism starts to throw warnings.

This seems to fix the flag, if you have direct access to the database.
