codeforamerica / cfawp2012 Goto Github PK

Hi!

I am involved with Code for Asheville, a growing Code for America brigade in Asheville, NC. We're converting our existing site to Wordpress, and I found this theme. We were thinking about re-purposing it for our site, but a lot of the templates are for custom post types - we can have the look and feel but not the functionality of the Code for America blog.

Ideally, there would be a plugin to complement this theme that enables those post types, giving us a full Wordpress deployment for brigades.

I'm happy to help with the efforts in any way possible, including writing the plugin, if someone can provide me with the post type definitions and related content, or a full dump of the database?

Thank you!

Currently, the footer is in plain HTML (which means someone has to dig into the code base to make changes to the nav items). Let's replace the footer navigation with a WP Menu that will allow modifications to the navigation structure to be made through Wordpress itself.

Thoughts?

NOTE: This will require a little work in Wordpress once this has been written and merged.

Please move up form on cities page so that there's no more big blob of whitespace.

FEATURE REQUEST FROM RECRUITING & REVENUE:
Every year the fellowship, accelerator and city recruiting cycles show 2/3 of all applicants putting in their submissions in the last 3 days of application cycle. This makes it tough to answer applicant questions and forecast total pool of applicants. Is there a way to tier the application form so that users can fill out part of a form, we capture their email address, and can help users fill out the rest? Is there a way users can save their answers and return to fill out other parts of the form?

See Lauren’s comment for more info.

Even when you have your Gravatar properly setup in the Wordpress blog and on the Gravatar site, your Gravatar doesn't show up on a blog post on codeforamerica.org/blog/....

Since the blog doesn't really have a layout optimized for small-screens, I usually zoom to make the text the width of the screen. Unfortunately, that makes the navigation wrap to two lines, which leaves very little space the actual content:

The above is what I encountered when trying to read Cyd's recent post this afternoon (I'd turned the phone to landscape to better see the images). It's pretty unusable :\

Maybe there's a quick solution to make the nav not wrap or maybe just not make it fixed/sticky positioned on small screens?

I'm guessing this is another item for a Wordpress integration expert, but right now the search doesn't work when you're on a blog page (landing, category, or individual post) - you can type in whatever and click the button and the box just clears. URL turns to http://www.codeforamerica.org/blog/?search-global=[STRING]&search-global=Search - which looks like the sending to Google bit just isn't happening.

REMOVE CAROUSEL & MAKE 15 Donor Grid below the fold

From Ashley: I've gotten the feedback from Esri that they would prefer a grid where all the logos show all of the time (at the bottom of the page is fine), rather than the carousel. Apparently the President Jack Dangermond is rather unhappy that Esri's logo does not show up in the first 5 (it's arranged by amount and I don't think we can change that).

Just wanted to pass that along as you work on mockups for the homepage.
