Notes and things to remember on Drupal:
After updating a number of modules this weekend and updating the site a few thing changed. The Developer module seemed to disable any internal menus as well as Lightbox2 functionality on the site (I found this out after trouble shooting for about 6 hours, re-uploading several modules and running other checks. I disabled Theme Developer and all of a sudden things were restored.
Turned off site caching as I couldn't see my css changes in real time. Will need to remember to turn back on in the future.
When Imagecache and Imagefield modules were updated and re-run the way in which thumbnails are stored had changed. Site/defaults/files used to hold both jpgs and thumbs, and now it just stores only new full size jpegs (with GD image still resizing images un upload) - an additional folder was created.. there is now an imagefield thumbs folder and there are imagecache large and imagecache thumb folders. I think that's why the most recent picture story that was added (tonight by darkharbor) took a while to show up. Additionally 'promote to front page' was unchecked.
Tonight I got in touch with a few people to potentially use the site when it is a little more ready.. I reached out to the head of an informal group in chicago and to a few people on a national message board as well as a couple of acquaintances. Tomorrow I am interested in working on the image formatting in the stories themselves and editing the authenticated user menus.
