Bookmarks: Sortable Searchable Repository of useful links and resources

+1

I like the idea of users being able to bookmark stuff. I'm a little confused on comment #2 though since that seems to be talking about tagging (taxonomy) and not bookmarks (users mark the things they want.) Could you explain that a bit more?

Cool cool. That makes more sense to me now. thanks!

The bookmark idea seems cool. Since you are creating a new site, it seems like this would be a great opportunity to create a standard vocabulary for Drupal topics. So, topics like "views exposed filters" could always be tagged the same way. That way you can avoid having some resources and lessons tagged as "view exposed filter" and others as "views exposed filters."

If you could use the same vocabulary when tagging resources, lessons, and perhaps blog posts, it would be way easier to find relevant information later on.

Regarding this particular feature, please see:

You're right. I think that autocomplete will go a long way towards solving the problem. Were you thinking of having a multi-tiered hierarchy of tags or having all tags be the same level? For example, would there be a parent tag, "Views", and a sub-tag "embedded"?

Personnally I think we could use something like refine by taxo module, which allows to create relations between tags without having a hierarchy, thus allowing to use freetagging.

For example if you go on the page for all nodes tagged 'views' you would have a block showing all the 'related tags' like 'embedded'.

I'm happy to write some tagging guidelines when they are needed. It would be good to put my library degree to use for once.

I am merging the Sortable and Searchable Repository of useful links and resources topic with this one.

I will add though that this feature is somewhat different from what you have proposed, in that this would be a centralized way to access these "bookmarks", and that it would be possible to not have these tied to a lesson, but should be able to pull terms and taxonomy together to make a very in depth listing of content. It should be able to tie together interrelated tutorials, and bring them up while also giving a link and and descriptions, and be able to bring them up alongside other related offsite links.

There should be some kind of themeing (ie cell colors, and/or icons) differentiating between a resource (i.e. pdf), a tutorial(on site), and a link (off site). This will make it easy to distinguish at a glance what it is. Some additional off site links which could be themed are modules, api references, code snippits.

Anyhow i look forward to this bookmarks repository, and the bookmarking feature.
Also I'd like to add that it is confusing as to you are suggesting personal bookmarks alongside site wide bookmarks. This repository would be better suited as sitewide bookmarks.

SO my question is this. Should I just show what I did on a separate site, and then let the dojo decide if they want to include it as a subdomain of the dojo site??

Adding social bookmarking to Drupal Dojo could fulfill one of the features I was considering proposing — a screencast link library. There are a lot of really useful Drupal screencasts spread across a bunch of sites. Most are linked from the Drupal handbooks, but they're not tagged or otherwise organized in a particularly useful way. It seems that social bookmarking functions could go a long way towards categorizing and linking to the videos and their sources.

@patchak in #15: Yes, you should show us what you've done. We might be able to use your concept as-is, or borrow parts of it and roll it into the new site, or subdomain it. This community is all about reusing code. If you've got something cool, by all means, show it off!

[14:13] patchack has a great idea for this
[14:13] NikLP: you need to type *just* +1
[14:13] +1

[14:14] It's voting time! To cast your ballot, enter either +1 or -1 into IRC. Nothing else. No comments, no "maybe, but I'm not sure". Just say yes or no. We'll tally the votes in 60 seconds, so give us your answer!
[14:14] +1
[14:14] hand
[14:14] !tally end
[14:14] NikLP: go
[14:14] oh :)
[14:14] has anyone seen patchak's stuff yet?
[14:14] NikLP, nope
[14:14] i haven't
[14:14] ah
[14:14] er, it should work now... /me kills the bot and will manuyally tally
[14:14] it sounded good to me, though
[14:14] * ChanServ gives channel operator status to dmitrig01
[14:14] * tally406 has quit (Remote closed the connection)
[14:15] * dmitrig01 has kicked tally136 from #drupal-dojo (dmitrig01)
[14:15] hand
[14:15] more info on the thread? haven't seen in a couple days
[14:15] * ChanServ removes channel operator status from dmitrig01

[14:15] no
[14:15] add1sun: ? :)
[14:15] I'd suppose that having a way to keep track of the lesons that really meant something to me would be incredibally useful in the long run
[14:15] just wanted to say that how we do it can still be determined
[14:16] we just want to agree to whether we want it or not right now :)
[14:16] hand
[14:16] But no, NikLP, nbody has actually laid eyes on what patchack's cooked up
[14:16] dmitrig01
[14:16] Senpai: I envision that as bookmarks, not to lessons, but to things related to the lessons
[14:16] hand: personally I think that lesson-based 'marks and other marks are both a good idea
[14:16] * dmitrig01 just got hit by an awesome idea that is very similar to #205683
[14:16] OK folks again
[14:17] the exact implementation
[14:17] People can add their own bookmarks which are related to each lesson
[14:17] So it seems that we're all in agreement that some sort of bookmarking functionality i a good thing for the site?
[14:17] does not need to be deterined
[14:17] we are just decided if we want it or not
[14:17] Senpai, yes looks so
[14:17] can I propose that "hand" sucks, please? It just makes things take longer as people are nervous about typing...
[14:17] +1
[14:17] +1
[14:17] +1
[14:17] +1
[14:17] unanimous!
[14:17] Everyone: do you agree this is a want and therefor normal settings?
[14:17] is that for hand? or the issue? :)
[14:17] hand
[14:17] yeah
[14:17] hand sucks then :)
[14:18] and you can view all bookmarks, bookmarks by your "friends", highest rated, or most bookmarked :)
[14:18] are we voting on the issue or on add1sun take on the issue
[14:18] add1sun: yes!
[14:18] ell, I was actually voting for bookmarks
[14:18] ohh.. i get the hand thing :P
[14:18] +1 bookmarks, implementation tbc, -1 hand :)
[14:18] we agree to +1 bookmark - does everyone agree to the normal setting?
[14:18] brb
[14:18] * Shrop (n=mdshrops@cpe-024-074-042-043.carolina.res.rr.com) has joined #drupal-dojo
[14:18] what's the normal setting?
[14:18] +1
[14:18] non critical
[14:18] dmitrig01, means it is a want and not a need
[14:19] +1
[14:19] ok

Edited version:
gusaus: +1
Senpai: I'd suppose that having a way to keep track of the [lessons] that really meant something to me would be [incredibly] useful in the long run
(un-important discussion)
Senpai: So it seems that we're all in agreement that some sort of bookmarking functionality i a good thing for the site?
add1sun: Senpai, yes looks so
Senpai: +1
dmitrig01: +1
cwgordon7: +1
brenda003: +1
NikLP: +1 bookmarks, implementation tbc, -1 hand :)
add1sun: we agree to +1 bookmark - does everyone agree to [make it a want]?

Consensus: yes

Project is abandoned. Closing all issues.

Based on previous discussions, the Dojo should not house but should aggregate materials (video, audio, slideshows, documentation) from the cloud. This most likely could be done with a mix of these modules -
* http://drupal.org/project/feedapi
* http://drupal.org/project/feedapi_mapper
* http://drupal.org/project/emfield

These tutorials should provide a pretty good roadmap -
* http://zivtech.com/blog/module-mashup-creating-a-feed-embedded-videos-us...
* http://www.drupaltherapy.com/node/34

I would love to work on this project... Any one interested to team up (and theme up) the site?? For the functionnality I think I could build this relatively fast and would love to get involved...

Patchak

Ok - see your points regarding these being different, yet related, features. Changed the title back to what it was and will create a new feature specifically for the aggregation element.
