Editing Sagamore online goals 2014 (section)

==Done==

===Near term goals===

====Domain name====

'''Is <code>sagamorehillspta.org</code> the right domain?'''  See [[Sagamore online#Domain]] for what we're currently working with. '''No?  Which one then?'''

Dave, 2014-05-07: John's <code>sagamorehillselementary.com</code> might be good, if not a little long.  It could work like Jen pointed out http://fernbankelementary.com/ does.

Dave, 2015-02-17: Marking this as "done" since I haven't heard anyone that else is interested in changing.

====Website platform====

Dave, 2015-02-17: [http://list.9.0ne.org/archive/sagamore.online/2014-September/000226.html Done!]

'''Wordpress… ''yes!'''''

* The pulse seems to be for [https://wordpress.org/ Wordpress]
* Any reason not to stick with the [[Sagamore Hills PTA Dreamhost account]] hosting it?
* The http://test-wordpress.sagamorehillspta.org/ is available for testing.  Login credentials the same as the PTA site (check the password file in the Google Drive).

====Styling====

What will the website look like…?  Who has the Wordpress theming chops?

JRL: Yes, I can do this.

Dave, 2015-02-17: Seems low priority (so calling "Done" for now); [http://list.9.0ne.org/archive/sagamore.online/2014-September/000226.html the work done] seems good enough for now.

====URL redirects====

TL;DR: Old links still work

* Dave 2014-05-15: Made [[Sagamore .htaccess|comprehensive list of URLs to redirect]]
* Dave 2014-05-23: Might not need to redirect all of them since [[Sagamore PTA Wordpress notes#Import_old_content|imported content will take old post IDs if available]]

Make the new Wordpress installation use post IDs we haven't used before to avoid collisions (terms and users weren't utilized enough on the old site to bother with), then setup .htaccess redirects from the old to the new as desired.

# On the new Wordpress database:
#: <pre>ALTER wp_posts AUTO_INCREMENT = 2001 ;</pre>
# Make entries in the '''[[Sagamore .htaccess]]'''

JRL: Yes, Wordpress has "pretty" URLs that can be used, and content can be assigned to those "pretty" urls if the .htaccess file is writable. If not writeable, we can manually add in some directives to the .htaccess file and we'll be good to go.

* Right now, all valid <code>'''''www.'''''sagamorehillspta.org</code> permanantly redirect to their ''(non-www.)''<code>sagamorehillspta.org</code> coutnerparts via some Wordpress mechinism.  I wonder if we should to the opposite—forward non-www to www—to accomodate other future hosting options?
** Dave, 2014-02-17: Naw…

''Old thought we're not doing:'' Because the old site exposed post IDs (<code><nowiki>http://</nowiki>sagamorehillspta.org/?p=58</code> (or "<code>?page_id=</code>"s)) (didn't use [[Sagamore PTA Wordpress notes#Address_beautification|address beautification]]), it may make sense to try to put those posts in the same place on the new site so the redirect happens for free (without Apache rewrites).

====Relaunch existing PTA site====

Let's start out by providing a refreshed version (new domain, new look) of the '''existing PTA site contnet only'''.

Dave, 2015-02-17: [http://list.9.0ne.org/archive/sagamore.online/2014-September/000226.html Done!]

===Next term goals===

====Incorporate test-google-sites content====

Bring in content from http://test-google-sites.sagamorehillspta.org

✓ Done; see the [http://www.9.0ne.org/mw/index.php?title=Sagamore_PTA_Google_Sites_notes&oldid=2529 Sagamore PTA Google Sites notes] --[[User:Dave|Dave]] ([[User talk:Dave|talk]]) 11:51, 17 February 2015 (EST)
