Participant 5
Started out working with Wordpress and Blogger - doesn't have much experience really developing mostly a end-user.
TASK 1
task 1 completed without incident.
RE task 1: 'straightforward'
TASK 2
Opened link to new site in a tab.
first link for task2: "customize and configure"
was debating between administrative section, and customize and configure
ISSUE: Customize and configure is one of the first links in the welcome text.
/admin
Now in administrative section, looking for "I don't even know"
"Looking at everything because I don't know what's here"
"hmm, actions maybe?"
honing in on content management now
admi/content/ntode
admin/content/node
sets filter to "published"
Looking at the empty row.
"Now I want to go to.... somewhere"
ISSUE: "No posts available" is not clear enough.
gives impression it might be a filtering issue.
Looking for existing content - setting filters, clicking tablesort headers.
has found create content menu
saying he felt overwhelmed by all the options on the admin page, so the left side of the screen didn't catch his eye.
reading page + article descriptions.
Page for infrequently changing content about one thing, article when there's lots of content.
ISSUE: "add a main menu link" as a parent option is totally stupid.
ISSUE: preview doesn't show menu links in the menu.
again goes to admin first to create content.
then realizes his mistake, on to create content
"schedule can change" -> using article for it.
TASK 3
ah! I am here
"becca: what do you think adding a menu means?"
"participant: It means adding a lot more than I want to"
"I don't know if menu is the word i'm looking for, that's the problem"
menu is not the word I am looking ofr
admin/build/menu - didn't click on any of the existing menus to see what was in there - then went to admin/build/modules
"I feel like site building is kinda where I want to be"
seems intrigued by the site config options
ISSUE: the username is named different than "navgation"
ISSUE: Menu names and descriptions in admin/build/menu aren't very distinguishable from help text - use a table instead?
ISSUE: Can't find "add menu item" only edit links for existing ones.
its saying anything for adding another one
"I'm starting to doubt whether this is where I want to be.
finds the tab
Found the tab.
"now I'm starting to doubt whether this is where I want to be" "i'm not seeing anything for adding another one"
I dont know the drupal path
Where is my content?!
Back to front page to find the schedule, but needs the general information.
user disconnected from phone
user back on the line
having difficulty finding the content he posted
Looking in my account to find content. ot clicking the Administer link.
clicked around main page/my content
again goes back to home
"why were you looking to go to the home?" user: "so from there I could find the main content page I guess."
still cannot find the content
wondering if he forgot to save the content
Im guessing I published this (the schedule) but not the other part (the general information)
"I can't see what I'm trying to look for, I don't really know where to go"
Hasn't clicked on main admin link once yet.
admin/content/node
found the conference information
grabs the url
"I'm assuming this is what everyone sees and not just me since I'm logged into my account"
realizes he is looking at what the public sees
Thinks the url for the page is the public one - confirming it's not an administrative path to the same content.
I know what I want to do.. but finding the tool that gets me there...
TASK 4.
Back to site building.
"I'm drawn to site building for some reason"
ISSUE: "looks and feels" is a terrible description.
Chose blocks.
Found right sidebar region immediately.
Found add block tab immediately after that.
seems to think he'll be able to drag blocks directly into the region
ISSUE: Thinks he can drag and drop into the regions.
rather than into the table section defining regions
Block title and description "seems like the same thing"
Block title, "seems like the same thing" (as the block description
Clicks "show on only the listed pages"
"I assume listed pages are what everyone sees"
Trying to drag out of the table.
QUESTION: does wordpress let you do this?
BUG!
yah, wth?
Clicks "show on only the listed pages"
After selecting "show only on listed pages" and listing no pages, block still shows up on right after saving
only on the blocks page though I wonder?
maybe... lets see ;)
I dont think thats true
I think that is a bug
if so, I want a followup to 'fix' the visibility if we get time.
maybe not a bug. it does what he wanted :)
lol
NOTE: blocklist() drupalmatch_path()
TASK 5
Splits summary "im kinda assuming it will block it off"
thinks he can make multiple page sections with teaser splitter.
posts one workshop in the teaser field, posts a second in the other section
ISSUE: teaser splitter as a node pager.
seems to have no idea how the teaser splitter will function
seems to like our admin titles
goes to admin/content/node
"yah, I've already been here" tries editing his workshop.
"something about organisation"
"organiziation"
looking over /admin and not seeing taxonomy
whoops, just found it.
taxonomy is not what I was looking for
"Taxonomy, didn't catch my eye at all"
taxonomy "doesn't catch my eye at all"
until I read the description
mentions taxidermy.
Sounded like taxidermy which doesn't quite fit into this.
PRESENTATION: Stuffed animals plz.
I really like the boxes or whatever it's called. Seems really user friendly.
