We use for the next LibreOffice conference a new Plone add-on. It is running on http://conference.libreoffice.org. I’m currently working on a registration form for the conference. I’ve done a bit of the work during my vacation but there are some features missing especially the protection of the form with a captcha.

But there are some other missing features. Today I found out how to validate an email-address and added this feature to my development environment on our TDF-Server. It worked fine for me.

During the last weekend I met with other volunteers for an admin weekend in the LinuxHotel in Essen. We talked about and worked on some admin tasks, e.g. I worked with Alex on the add-on for the conference site and added some features. It was much easier to work in a (little) group on that add-on and we had some fun with the results.

And today I added some features to the views of the add-on. I found out how I could create hyperlink to content that is connected via a relation-field. E.g., I implemented a link from the view of a program-track to the room and the speaker. This objects are created not in the same folder as the program, the tracks and talks.

I uploaded the sourcecode changes to my github repository (https://github.com/andreasma/collective.conference) today. They will be available on the development site for the conference add-on (http://vm5.documentfoundation.org:9090/conference2) soon.

The LibreOffice conference is running on Plone 4.2 now. I updated the site during the admin weekend in Essen today. It was an easy and fast task because the site is created with buildout.

I added the captcha feature to the LibreOffice conference site. It was easy to install and had to be activated in the Zope Management Interface (ZMI) at plone_setup via an import call.

I reworked a field in the talk and in the workshop module of the conference add-on for Plone. This fields has special rights management now. The changes are integrated into the LibreOffice conference site (http://conference.libreoffice.org) with a git checkout.

I added a new field to the workshop module of the Plone add-on for the LibreOffice conference. It is now posible that a workshop has a co-leader. I changed also the view of the talks and the workshops.

There are now also review comment fields for both types, talks and workshops, which are only visible to reviewers.

Because I created a new buildout of the LibreOffice conference site (http://conference.libreoffice.org) all my changes are available on the site.

The LibreOffice conference site is driven by Plone now. The URL of the site is http://conference.libreoffice.org. The site contains an add-on for Plone that can manage the call for papers and the conference program. I worked on this add-on, based on the Dexterity framework, hard in the last weeks. There are some tasks remaining but I will finish them in the next weeks.

Today I fixed an issue in the footer of the site that lives in the layout add-on of the site.
