Participants/users page (Create a page showing a table view of the users)

Important clarification on this – and yikes, this had almost slipped through our collective brain – in early discussions it was decided (overruling us) that not everyone who joins the site would automatically be considered signers of the call.

Ahh, I see Jason has just addressed this here: http://drupal.org/node/191336

Is this list for all site participants, just users who signed the call, both with an indication "Signatory" for people who signed the call?

Christophe and I had a discussion on this.
The result was the following:

- A page of all the people and organisations who have registered in the website "under" the Call (and a link to the "first signers" - http://dev.wsf2008.net/eng/node/69). So the title could be "Participants to the World Social Forum 2008 Global call for action"

- in the Registration form, we need to add the following phrase:
"This mobilisation is organised under the framework of the WSF Charter of Principles [link] and the Global call for action [link]"

I have created one. it is located here.
http://dev.wsf2008.net/eng/view/users

Uhm... if I go to the page you indicated, Dan, (http://dev.wsf2008.net/eng/view/users) it says "Page not found".

Please verify -- also that it has the characteristics requested (see top of this post: Create a page showing a table view of the users with options to sort by:Name Organisation Network/Confederation City Country)

Jason isn't satisfied:

regarding the participants page (http://www.wsf2008.net/eng/view/participants)

.... thanks for the page, but not quite...!

We don't need a list of names with the time and hour since they registered!

What we need is simply what we had in the previous "site" with the signatures.

http://old.wsf2008.net/stats.php

And the possibility to order these or group them by Name, country, city, network, organisation (as explained in the issue).

This allows us - and everybody - to have a good picture of who is active and how much organisations and networks are coming on board.

Also: the description of the user is not formated at all - can't we have a nice page where the information is displayed in a comprehensible way (eg. titles are not gigantic and there is some logic in the list of fields, as well as no display of irrelevant info for the public (Invitation counts, successful, unsuccessful, etc.

It was two columns of names like this:

aguiton

Evelyn Melançon

If the user link is truly showing large that may be a cross-browser issue, it's looked good in Firefox, Safari, Opera at the least.

Any progress here?

a) We don't need a list of names with the time and hour since they registered! What we need is simply what we had in the previous "site" with the signatures -

As best we could, with the rather more flexible data set.

I would like to do a bit more theming of the view, especially making the statement a link or a pop-up or something.

Here's how: http://agaricdesign.com/note/theme-views-table

b) And the possibility to order these or group them by: Name, Country, City, Network, organisation.

Same problem, this is not easy as people can belong to multiple networks and organizations (and because Place is stored in a single taxonomy that, to Drupal at the moment, looks like multiple terms of the same type).

Reopening the issue because it was not completed:

b) And the possibility to order these or group them by: Name, Country, City, Network, organisation.

Can this be done through the tagging? It must be explained so people can order or group by one of the fields - even if there are multiple tags.

The "Statement" (or Comment) should be one line with a link to more if it is longer. Otherwise we get very long texts making the page endless and the list no longer such.

i agree with the need...

however may i remind that an organisation directory would be needed, perhaps more useful than the list of users

the data structure is simpler and avoid the duplication problem

org - to users mentionning it
org - to actions where the org is mentionned

Ben said he was on it ....

No, as described it cannot without a good deal more programming, as described.

(That was my post above, I was logged in as Garthee with a temporary password to try to help him with the Drupal releases system.)

I'm not sure there can be any way to sort on a field that can have multiple values.

This can be worked around for Place, since this should be only one value per level (Country, Province, Town) but not for organization.

Dan will be getting to theming the statement, as a pop-up or somehow.

am not getting if the above comment is about user list or org list

when you know an org , you can find all the people mentionning it in their profile a sorganisation
and all the actions where the org is mentionned as organisation

where is the complexity here ?

http://drupal.org/node/197802

we are not stalked here !!!

1/ i suggest to have a search function instead of a sorting one

at the top of the user list that would be in that fixed order - each column should be searchable along several fields (one field per column ( as done in "find action" )

2/ where is this page, as it is, accessible to users?
i suggest to put a "wsf GDA directory " item in "my participation" menu
and access page http://www.wsf2008.net/eng/node/2136 through it

Verify the grouping and sorting issue: the important thing is that the page (or it could be more than one table in different pages, accessible by a side link saying: display by...) has the information in an easily readable format.

Link it according to: http://drupal.org/node/204598

In some ways we're "Good enough" - have been for a while.

But:

I will work on separating the various levels of Place in the eyes of Views so that we can have sorting and searching by country, province, etc using Views.

Please provide the exact text or whatever was wanted at the top of the listing. We're clearly being kept busy with the technical, please don't have us do copywriting. It really adds up.
