Hi all,

We'll do our 5th weekly live chat on December 16th at 3:30pm-5pm GMT (9:30am-11am CST).

Note that this is a different time from our previous live chats and we expect a little shorter. This is because it's Christmas coming up and I'll be in the US for it.

Our weekly live chat is a chat about Composr Deploying, Designing and Developing, open to any one who wants to attend. It's a great way to meet other Composr users, influence development, and get some free support from the busy developers. If you don't get a decent reply on something on the forum or IRC, the live chat is the best place to ask.

Agenda:

• Main topics:
  • Following on from week 4, I want to cover more with fields.xml – particularly using this to set default field values for what are normally hard-coded to something else. I also want to show automatic field value appending based on usergroup, and write some more automated testing for the functionality. (https://compo.sr/tracker/view.php?id=3451 and https://compo.sr/tracker/view.php?id=3377)
  • Re-arranging custom content fields on inbuilt content types via template editing (https://compo.sr/tracker/view.php?id=2172)
• Chat structure: Jacob has requested to discuss the chat structure
• Community questions: the best way to corner me and get some free step-by-step support or even some coding (if we can cover it within the allotted time of course)
  • Write your questions in this topic
  • … or just ask them live (either by voice, or via the stream's text chat window)

As always, the link is https://meet.jit.si/Composr. We'll also post a copy of the stream soon after it's concluded for those cannot attend.

See you there .

Bah, this is the third Saturday in a row I have to work  

My work schedule should get lighter after this weekend and I should be able to get back into the live chat.

Here's this week's recording, edited for easier viewing:



Timestamps:
- Config file inconsistencies: 0:52
- How Bob and B.L. use Composr: 16:13
- Sharing banners between multi-site networks using iframes: 26:26
- Moving a block into a custom bottom panel: 45:39

Just for the record, Jacob and I decided to change the format around for this chat the day before. So what we talked about doesn't match the agenda posted above.
