YWAM Energy Mainagement

pabloywam — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 00:28:01 +0000

I am working on getting a YWAM Energy Management team up and running. What I would like to see us do it to have a group of people who would be good with programming that would be willing to help. Is it possible to have a section on this site that would lean towards that? Here at YWAM Minneapolis we have a browser based HVAC contol system. We can easily program all of our HVAC schedules through webpages. We have saved over $10,000 a year in just one of our buildings. With one system we can tie in our Door access control, security cameras, fire alarm systems, lighting and HVAC systems to one front end. The system I am using is available internationally. It is an open source system that allows many manufacturers to make controllers to work with this system. Do you think this is something that could fit within the guide lines of this website?

WorkGroupShare

I use WorkGroupShare from Softalk http://www.softalkltd.com/products/workgroupshare/. It is not a free open source program, but it doesn't take the skill to set up like Exchange Server. You may want to check this out. We are very happy with it.

Zimbra!

"Zimbra is an open source email, address book, and calendaring server based on open source technologies tied together with a bunch of Java code." - Sitepoint.com

Not exactly everything you asked for but pretty close. There are also some great things from 37signals.com.

Drupal for YWAMers, YWAMers for Drupal

Nathan Johnson — Fri, 31 Aug 2007 14:47:38 +0100

I found this site by searching Google for the words YWAM and Drupal. I have just set up the YWAM Russia National site and YWAM Perm using Drupal 5.1, and I was hoping to find some other YWAM ministries that have some experience in this area.

I guess I'd like to see a discussion of an ideal Drupal (or any other CMS) setup for a YWAM base including modules and settings.

I chose Drupal because of it's user management abilities which was a prerequisite for us. I need each ministry or group to be able to modify their own content but not that of others. I could still use some help getting things set up and configured so that it is easier for our staff to use.

The learning curve for Drupal hit me real hard, and I would like to use what I have learned over the last several months to help other YWAMers get past that quicker.

WYSIWYG not working

Donovan — Sat, 11 Aug 2007 10:28:44 +0100

Hi Bill - thanks for working on this. I tried it today and had to shut it off. It was not allowing me to create any hyperlinks. Weird... so back to text editing which I am totally cool with.

WYSIWYG Set-up Again

bill.hutchison — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 17:22:14 +0100

I didn't even know that the WYSIWG editor wasn't working. I just thought I had it turned off for my user.

It should work now, just let me know if you have any problems.

I'll have a look at the other two when I get a chance.

Trackbacks and User Urls

Donovan — Mon, 06 Aug 2007 11:33:41 +0100

1. I notice in the new editor that there is no way to do trackbacks on blogs. Can we put this back in?

2. Now that we are not using a WYSIWG editor, is there an easy way to post images?

3. I would like to see the user urls appear somewhere. For example, if you click on the author's name of comment on my blog, it will take you to their website if they have entered one. You can go to my blog at http://donovanpalmer.com and look at the "Recent Comments" in the left side bar to see what I mean.

Has anyone tried or heard

campero — Sat, 21 Jul 2007 13:45:06 +0100

Has anyone tried or heard about Meraki (www.meraki.com) sounds a like a great solution and I'm seriously considering it for the new base in Cuernavaca, MX

CRSS - What version?

alex.costa — Sat, 27 Jan 2007 00:49:53 +0000

Hi Bill..

What version are we using? Maybe we could try a hack on it....

Search sorting?

tofirius — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 08:17:20 +0000

Is it possible that the site search would have a feature for sorting the search results? i.e. by entry/comment date, user, etc.?

Thanks,

Correct Version of CommentRSS Module

bill.hutchison — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 01:21:11 +0000

From checking the ChangeLog.txt file we are running the correct version of the plugin for our version of Drupal. We are not running the latest version of Drupal as I have been hesitant to try to upgrade all the modules and the site. Maybe it's finally time to upgrade our Drupal installation...

Drupal + CRSS version

alex.costa — Mon, 22 Jan 2007 00:10:29 +0000

What version of Drupal are we using? And what version of CRSS are we using? I've just installed Drupal 5 for testing pourposes and installed CRSS and all are working fine. No URL problem. Try instaling the latest version of CRSS . Hope it helps!

source code for rss?

neo — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 10:50:08 +0000

Hi Bill,
it might be helpful if you could tell us where we can find the source code / package for this add-on in order to take a look at it.
I guess you already checked if the version of this add-on and the version of drupal work together?

Greetings from the MatriX,

It's a plugin problem...

bill.hutchison — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 10:40:04 +0000

Even if you look at the raw xsl for the comment feed there is a problem with the URL. I have been trying to track it down, but I have not had any luck yet, and I can't find other people with the same problem.

Any advise or suggestions would be appreciated...
