  Looking at importing WordPress categories into Drupal taxonomies. The WordPress Import module gets the categories into a a Drupal taxonomy easily enpough. Need to figure out how to move the terms from the imported vocab to the CALI Topic.

  On to ebooks! Final prepping of 2013 editions of the Fed Rules from LII for release on eLangdell. Seems like I had some scripting sitting around to generate the toc.html file that Calibre uses to generate a working ToC in the .mobi conversion process. Checking my notes.

  Now that the Twitter Tools thing looks solved, I think I may look into forking that code and starting a new plugin project to keep the TT feature set alive since the current developer is apparently going to abandon it.

  OK, it looks like TT 2.4 posts to Twitter when I create a new entry here. It only retreives tweets not generated from this site. That makes sense because If I’m on the blog, I don’t need to see tweets for blog posts.

  Seems like TT will post to Twitter OK, but is having no luck retrieving tweets for the widget.

  Banging around with the Twitter Tools v2.4 for WordPress trying to get it working again.

  Added Draggable Views module to the mix on beta.cali.org so I can sort stuff the way I want. Working well for Topics. Design decisions about how taxonomy URLs get rewritten are kicking me in the butt though when it comes to sorting nodes under each term.

  Tags: owncloud ( 2 ), S3 ( 3 )   

  Seems that owncloud has a bit of an undocumented feature that lets me do some basic drag-n-drop around the browser interface to move files. THis allows me to move files from one S3 bucket to another.

  Keep in mind when creating S3 buckets: “we recommend as a best practice that you always [use] DNS-compliant bucket names”. And they mean it. Failure to follow hthis bit of advice can lead to all sorts of issues with access to buckets.

  Cool thing about Git is that I can totally change the layout of a repo and it just goes with it. Redoing the FLR repo so I can include all of the code, allowing for a complete cloning of the site. https://github.com/emasters/Free-Law-Reporter
