Been trying for the last hour or so to register. No matter what selections I choose I receive the following error when I click submit on the first page Purchases:
You have not selected anything to purchase.
Please use your browser's back button and try again . Thinking it might be an issue with firefox I tried in IE and received the same error. \ Anyone else hit this? GH |

This should be fixed now. Sorry for any inconvenience. Please try again.Read on only if you care about the technical details. FSP-IT geeks may be interested to know, here's what happened. In the past, I found that, in Drupal, using the URL alias in a <form> tag resulted in Drupal not being able to find the target page. For example: <form action="/libertyforum/register/process_step_1"> ... would result in a 404 error. So, the Liberty Forum registration page had the explicit path: <form action=" http://freestateproject.org/node/1234"> ... which worked fine. Until yesterday. Presumably the changes that were applied to beef up the website msyteriously broke the above. Now, the short path, and URL aliases, work just fine -- only the fully-qualified URL is broken. If you use the fully-qualified URL, the target page doesn't get any of the form POST variables. (I didn't test GET) So in the end the fix was just to change the code to: <form action="/node/1234">

So in the end the fix was just to change the code to: <form action="/node/1234"> Yes, with the changes (adding boost), a hardcoded url might break, especially if the domain wasn't exactly the same (think www. and no www.) This is due to boost's method of static paging. |

Interesting. so FSP runs on drupal? Are you generally happy with it (other then URL wierdness) debating whether is worth climbing the hill to learn it for a local church.

Are you generally happy with it
That question has been the source of religious wars almost as long as the FSP has had a website  In a nutshell, I'd say "yeah, it's good", especially if it's a site you don't have bandwidth to spend a lot of time on, and don't want to make specific customizations to. Take whatever modules are available out-of-the-box and you'll be OK. |

That question has been the source of religious wars almost as long as the FSP has had a website No, it hasn't. There has been a few complaints here and there, but given that we've had multiple people in the webmaster/development role now, and the site continues to not only run but grow with features, it's a success. The fact that we _have_ been able to move from one webmaster to the next, and even have others in the wings if need be, is a godsend, in that we don't keep reinventing the wheel each time the personnel changes. (Of course, I'm biased, I'm the guy who made the switch happen) In a nutshell, I'd say "yeah, it's good", especially if it's a site you don't have bandwidth to spend a lot of time on, and don't want to make specific customizations to. Take whatever modules are available out-of-the-box and you'll be OK.
And as someone who build websites professionally, where I do lots of customizations, including both from scratch and modifying existing modules, it's good for that too. And you don't have to take my word for it. I've taught others within this community how to use Drupal for development, who have in turn taught others, with all levels of skill from none to moderate, and the number of folks using it continues to grow. That said, we also have Wordpress fans, for example. |
