Website To Do List

As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.

Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.

Current Issues

Here's my current list of Drupal issues:

  • Print CSS
  • swf printing within page
  • Google Analytics
  • webalyzer view or similar
  • Can we make the login block https secure? - this is an option in 6 I believe
  • Trawl istockphotos and insert
  • Editor should know about Icons
  • Link colouring
  • Add level class to links somehow - for colour coding
  • Update link texts to agree with new titles
  • The workflow module sees 2 author roles somehow. Only Capitalised roles are in use - i.e. Author rather than author.
  • Add internally visible link to Arciris' Google Calendar.
  • Risk Calculator formatting: CCK maybe?
  • Tidy up service links. e.g. see guardian website method
  • Add new workflow states? (proof reading/rework/reworked/reorganise).
  • People to start using workflow.
  • V6 upgrade yet? - AMFPHP status?
  • jsMath AMSfonts installation
  • Remove browse button from link dialog as it's fairly useless

Nice to haves

  • Dataset library with import from excel, export to AS3 arrays or AIR SQLLite.

Issues resolved

  • Editor to be helpful with Image captioning
  • Blog commenting - CommentNotify, Akismet modules - unregistered users?
  • Upgraded to 5.7
  • Glossary - is this OK now? yes no longer affects TeX
  • Flash and Video insertion
  • Sort out where to edit local site css. I made a small change to the garland theme css to insert the image and left-right justification buttons. Not ideal as you then have to edit the theme to get it to update the live css file. undunc theme added
  • Change existing pages to stories as necessary - all pages changed
  • Add a reviewer role into the workflow - able to see prepress material, but not internal material, and add comments. Comments should be invisible to unauthorised users.
  • Enable comments on existing stories. Commenting has been disabled everywhere again.
  • Changing workflow 'published' state now forces page to be published (or not) using an action from the Action Module. Edit page 'Published' checkbox can be left checked always.
  • Add Action module so workflow changes kick other actions - like publishing/unpublishing pages when tracking status changes to published/unpublished
  • Added comments and enabled for reviewer/author/editor/admin
  • Upgrade to 5.3 - already done
  • Attaching a file (e.g, an image) uploads it to /files, but the IMCE file browser only looks in /files/images. That's when writing stuff as gmp26admin anyway.
  • IMCE file browser appears not to see all files
  • Internal documents link appears in unauthorised user menu, but it shouldn't.
  • Printer Friendly Page appears with Books - it concatenates all the pages of a book into one page, but it fails to embed the mathematics properly. Can be disabled entirely I think - done.
