Mail processing got stopped. It's working again, but is sending out a bunch of mail. Sorry about both the lag and the massive inflow.
As you may have noticed today, we are busily upgrading this site.
We, in this case, is the g.d.o focused team of Moshe, Josh, Greg with support from David Strauss, Narayan Newton and a few other special guests here in Paris.
We have a longer explanation/announcement post coming up and are just waiting for a couple more fixes we hope to make in the next few days. Until then, though, one big announcement:
Logins Switch to Single Sign on - May be Broken :(
Good news! Logins are now driven off of drupal.org logins. If you're looking at this as a logged out user, click the user link and you should be all set. We're still sorting out how to make the links all work perfectly.
Bad news! We matched up most of the existing accounts, but there are about 8,000 of you that won't be able to login here. If you are one of those people, please create an Account synch request with links to your user profiles on both sites. We will use comments on the synch request to communicate to you (hopefully that it's done) but if we have questions you can use the infrastructure queue to discuss. If you have multiple accounts, now is the time to pick the account you want to use.
Please help test
We believe we have fixed many old bug reports in this process and probably introduced some new bugs. Please post comments on this thread with your experiences.
Notes for webmasters
In order to resolve an ambiguous username for SSO, we must match both their username and email to their d.o account. If the user started out logged in on d.o and came over the g.d.o where they had an account under another name, they may well have had a new account created under their d.o username, but of course this lacks their user history. In this case, we need to delete the new account and update the older (lower uid) one to contain the proper username/password credentials.
Comments
Congrats! A few small issues
Aha! I usually hit /tracker and I knew something was different... woohoo!
A couple of quick things I noticed on there:
- duplicate posts -- posts in multiple groups are showing up once for each group posted to
- no space between words linking to new posts in a thread -- ie. "2new"
And on group pages:
- looks like there needs to be a conditional around
<div class="picture"> </div>
, because it's getting printed as an empty div when there's no user picture and thus the CSS is getting applied, leaving an odd gap without a picture~~~
{ TopNotchThemes | Fusion Drupal Themes }
some fixed
The duplicate post thing should be fixed - if not please provide a link to the page with the problem.
The spacing on the "new" issue is odd. Moshe - any insight on that?
About the picture, the node template just has
<?php print $picture ?>
so I guess the div is always present even if the user doesn't have a picture... http://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules--user--user-picture.tpl.php/6/s... :/ I guess we need something like the attached.knaddison blog | Morris Animal Foundation
!empty($picture) instead of isset($picture)
I think $picture is always set by template_preprocess_user_picture(). It not used, it is an empty string.
Fixed the missing space in
Fixed the missing space in 2new.
1new, 2new seem to be there still :(
Also, the new/updated markers in the Unread view are rendered with bold text, but they are not in other views/node lists.
Unread page
I have a quick link right to http://groups.drupal.org/unread so that's the page I use the most. Could we go back to just having that list new discussions and discussions with new posts? Right now, it's listing things I've already read mixed in with the new ones which makes it harder to see at a glance what's new.
One the plus side, I love that it no longer shows the same post once for each group. Yay!
Michelle
View filter missing?
"Node: Has new content" filter seems to be missing in unread view?
Also, the new/updated red marker is missing from node titles in this view.
Maybe they have disabled these items from the Unread view for performance reasons.
This is a bug that is fixed
This is a bug that is fixed in Views HEAD. I'm requesting a new release from Earl.
new release avalaible
fisrt, thanks for the awesome work here
just a notification for the new release that Earl published on Nov 2nd
(I really miss unread feature :-p)
this is working again, thanks

I'm celebrating the new gdo with some fireworks here in Paris. Great job!
Many thanks from the Swedish group, who will have a better life now when the upgrade is done.

One problem
What if a person registered the same name on g.d.o but a different person has already taken that name on d.o? Would it mean some g.d.o users will have to give up their accounts to someone else?
Unfortunately
People who own a name on d.o will be given priority. You can always ask (and we can make exceptions if people are inactive or have never logged in, etc), but drupal.org is the "master" in this case.

There seems to be a issue
There seems to be a issue with Javascript files on pages that are not english.
there seems to be some issues with writing the js cache files...
fixed for me
thanks to whoever fixed the js issue (with or without reading this comment...) If you read it now it is fixed for me...
keep up the good work !!!
Did the jobs searching get changed too?
I used to have a feed that filtered jobs based on contract and remote work. Now that is missing.

correct
The exposed filters on those fields are text comparison instead of dropdown. Needs some more work, hopefully soon.
If anyone wants to help with this I'd love a tutorial comparing CCK field types, widgets, and the kinds of exposed filters that they become.
knaddison blog | Morris Animal Foundation
Filter for the "Allowed values" version of the field
If you have a text or number field with a list of allowed values using an option widget such as radios or checkboxes, then these fields expose 2 filters to Views. One of them has the name of the field, and the other appends the suffix "- Allowed values" to the name of the field. If you choose the later, the filter will render with a select element.
brilliant!

Diff for wiki pages?
Diff for wiki pages?
We want diff for wiki pages.
We want diff for wiki pages. I hope folks can work in the diff queue to add this feature. It basically means adding a hook_menu_alter to add access callback which checks content type.

Weight of primary links
I just noticed that the weights of items in the primary menu have changed slightly.
May I suggest moving the "Recent" tab next to "My account"?
Thanks :)
Thanks :)
Duplicate rows in "Recent posts" tab
I just noticed there are duplicate rows in "Recent posts" tab. There seems to be a row for each group the node has been posted.
Couple of bugs...
On http://groups.drupal.org/node/15023, Dries is listed as username "3S" whose profile at http://groups.drupal.org/user/90 shows a 403.
I don't seem to be able to see a list of people who've signed up to an event: http://groups.drupal.org/node/25626. "Signups" takes me to a contact form, not a list.
Thanks so much for getting this site upgraded, and also for removing the dreadfully confusing 'private' indicator on all nodes! :D
Another quick fix...
The "Groups" block is above the "Group details" block, causing me to have to scroll down a lot to do basic group actions: http://img.skitch.com/20090909-qmhfxnm5d5k9panrgu6kbtwb24.png
I'm dying to ask which tool...
I'm dying to ask which tool is this that adds these text notes and arrows over the screenshots? (insert embarrassed emotion here)
Sorry for the offtopic.

Skitch is Mac only, I believe. If you're on Windows, there's Snaggit. If you're on Linux, dunno...

Thanks
I'm on PC, however, so I'll have to wait for a Windows version. What I was interested to know is the text and arrow effects. I started to notice them recently while looking at screenshots posted here and there. The effects are very pleasant to the eye.
It seems Skitch authors are working on a Windows version. If this tool is as easy to use as it seems, they have a customer if they decide to sell it. I tend to use GIMP whenever I need to play with graphics, but AFAIK there's no plugin to outline texts as in Skitch. You can still do it, but needs several manual steps, and playing with a simple screenshot doesn't look something where you want to spend too much time on.
Thanks all, for the other suggestions. I'll check them.
fixed dries, fixed signup bug
With dww's help we've upgraded to the latest signup which fixes that bug (and some token related ones).
I also just upgraded to the latest dev of Mollom which, I've got on good authority, is a lot nicer (Dries said) including enhanced debugging messages. So, hopefully that will help us pin down the pesky Mollom problems we've had recently.

List of people signuped up to an event now fixed
g.d.o was running an older version of Signup that had a known bug for this (see #533970: Access denied to the 'signups' tab if the signup attendee list is not configured as a tab for more). I just helped greggles update g.d.o to the latest release of signup module and it's now working fine, e.g. http://groups.drupal.org/node/25626/signups/list
Enjoy,
-Derek
Yay! Thank you! :D
Thanks for the help folks! :)
who is the mysterious vowe@blogger.com?
I created an account sync request between my @d.o and @g.d.o accounts, but the resulting node belongs to an account named vowe@blogger.com. They have a low UID so maybe that's intended, although it does say "unverified" next to their name.
Anyway ... Is this the expected behaviour?
Probably in my case I created both an a/c on g.d.o and then used the @d.o login anyway, resulting in duplicate account names. Doh, I guess my early noobianism has bit me :)
Where did Markdown go?
I noticed that there is no longer a Markdown input filter, and that the 'Filtered HTML' filter now reads 'Filtered HTML -- No Markdown.' Is there a plan to bring Markdown syntax back to g.d.o.?
Nevermind, Markdown didn't go anywhere
I see it now. There's two filters: a 'Filtered HTML' (which allows Markdown) and a 'Filtered HTML -- No Markdown' which does not. It makes sense, you just have to read it :)
"Events" not working for me
I only see an empty display for Boston events -- where there would be events were there any to show.
http://groups.drupal.org/boston/events
htp://groups.drupal.org/boston/events?=event/2009-10
same for by year, month, week, day, etc -- but it's more than just not showing up, there's something broken (I think) because "September" is still displayed even though the URL is different. Sorry I can't diagnose better.
but if I go to
http://groups.drupal.org/events
I do see events a-plenty (including Boston events).
This suggests it might be a local phenomenon -- any insight, Moshe?
Thanks folks,

User profiles are giving 'Access denied'
At least for people with whatever permissions I have on this site. :)
contact forms
Related to webchick's comment above, "contact" forms are no longer available either - even on your own profile which you have permission to see. Contact forms no longer seem to be available on Drupal.org either.
The link and checkbox are still there when editing my profile, but http://groups.drupal.org/user/5759/contact gives access denied.
Apologies if this has been reported elsewhere already.

contact forms workaround
Found this in the issue queue: http://drupal.org/node/572218
Contact forms are working on drupal.org, but as it says in the linked issue, you can not view your own contact form. Workaround is to find the same user on drupal.org and contact them there.

Persistent Login?
Any plan to install PL as it was before?
Login sync with drupal.org
I'm getting a jillion (ok, maybe it's only a bazillion minus 1) messages on the Drupal security list from those "8000" people you were not able to sync. I only just came here trying to find out what was going on, having had no idea.
I do not have time to write each and every one of those people a message telling them to come here and read this. I heartily suggest the g.d.o and d.o teams make some major efforts to publicize what's going on, or there's going to be a lot of unhappy users.
iCal Feeds for Groups
Don't want to add another thing to the queue here, but I don't think the group-specific iCal feeds are working.
The little calendar icon is there, but they all link to the same place. The old site had a URL like g.d.o/ical/[nid] but that now returns all events on the site.
I'd love to help out instead of just pointing out problems, if I can.

Users synchronized - getting Access denied
My d.o & g.d.o users were synchronized in http://drupal.org/node/572704 but now I get an "Access denied" page when going to Groups. See http://drupal.org/node/589858.

No Email send when something new is haded to group I subscribe
HI,
No Email send when something new is haded to group I subscribe.
It seems to be like that since the switch.
I find this function very usefull and make groups more lively.
Jean-Baptiste
manage notifications
If you go to your account page you should see a tab for notifications where you can manage your subscription options.
knaddison blog | Morris Animal Foundation
A limited number of groups or alphabetic order ?
It have check, my notification are enable but I still don't receive email.
I have the check box Automatically enable notifications for any groups that I join.
See screen captures
Before the upgrade I use to received email from all my groups now it's just some groups. I have received one from "aegir" but not an other one from the groupe "France". Is it alphabetic order ?
Are you limited in the number of email you can received ?
Looks like it's working
I didn't even notice the upgrade had already taken place! Just checked the CHANGELOG though and seems it's already here.
http://groups.drupal.org/node/18595
Wondering when we're going to be able to have D6 features like versioning set up in the wiki so that we can review who did what. Think it's just a permissions thing, but it's also an enhancement and something that will make the wiki usable with groups.

Single Sign on
Just for my info... What module is used for Single Sign on? is it http://drupal.org/project/sso ?

Mail processing got stopped
I have some questions about the fact mail processing stopped until 2th of Octobre.
What had been the effect in number of post during the interval ?
I'm very interested in having the number of comment posted by day since the switch.
If possible a way to compare it with previous years at the same time.
It's seems to mee the ideal occasion to know how email pushing is helping the conversation going on OG based website.
Why did I received email from some group and not from other. For instance :
I didn't received any update from the group named "France"
But, I did received mail from "Aegir", "Drupal conference Europe" etc...
At first I thought it was a question of alphabetic order :)
But, I did received from email from "Whashington, DC Drupalers".
I can't use the ' Create Account synch request' form
I get an error.
It will not let me go any further.
ETA: Apparently, I needed to be logged out of my account.
Still Can Not Login!!
Do you guys realize how many people still can not login?? It's been like 2 months now, what gives?? I have been quietly stewing about this to myself for the last few weeks since I first submitted my synch request. I have no idea if it even worked. I submitted it again tonight... I don't have access to the node it creates, and I don't get any emails, so I have no clue what's up.
I think the synch did happen, but my account is still unusable. It looks like there are dozens, if not hundreds, of others with this same issue:
http://drupal.org/project/issues/infrastructure
I am told that my name is already registered on basically every page. I get access denied if I try to log out or in. I'm getting really frustrated... Without completly throwing away my d.o acct, there is no way for me to get access, and even then, I'll never be able to change the groups I am being emailed from on the old account. I'm about ready to cry here; I spent hours on this already tonight, figuring that I must be doing something wrong...
also...
fyi, it appears that comment previewing doesn't really work.
Still problem with preview
I'm still having problem previewing comments. Did anyone look into this? When I click the preview button it only takes me back to the comment form without any preview.

calling all deputies - synch sprint Sunday eve?
One problem with synching is that we have to do it when someone with DB access is around so that we can run some necessary queries. But there's also a lot of work that can be done by a lot of the normal "g.d.o deputies" with user-edit permissions.
Firefighting
If you're around after 5PM Mountain Time (America/Denver) and have (or should have) user edit permissions you'll find me in #drupal-groups attempting to orchestrate an account synch-up sprint. If we get a few people helping we should be able to work through the backlog and get a lot of people as active logins again.
Building/deploying better tools
I'd also like to take some time and get some help reviewing (so I can deploy) this tool to Create self service method to synch accounts and user merge since those two tools together should let 99% of the users synch themselves.
So, can you join me on one of these initiatives and we'll get g.d.o back to full steam ahead? Just follow one of these steps:

My accounts finally got synced today!
Thank you!
Apparently, I 'lost' my
Apparently, I 'lost' my account during the switch. However, I created a new account and, after some begging, that account was thankfully assigned as manager to the group I had created.
However, my login again has lost the connection to the group and I cannot even approve myself as a member of the group, let alone manage it. I made someone else an administrator for backup purposes but that person cannot log in now.
I am at a crucial point on the project. I have asked for developers to respond to a development effort and cannot move it forward. I need them to quote the work so I can obtain funding. There is a competing bid already in hand.
How can I regain control og my group again?
Please help me.
