Gathering feedback and ideas on facilitator options

Status: Finished

Let's start with getting all the feedback and ideas together. Below is a first start, based on the input in the 'general feedback' thread.

stdClass Object ( [nid] => 124470 [vid] => 124542 [type] => task_discussion [status] => 1 [created] => 1221141992 [changed] => 1221475106 [comment] => 2 [promote] => 1 [sticky] => 0 [revision_timestamp] => 1221475106 [title] => Known errors/bugs in facilitator functions [body] => Below is a list of bugs that have already been reported.
This is just a start... I will add to it when I find more:
  1. Facilitators have too many rights. Any facilitator can edit content of all villages
  2. The Village background can not be edited (only the top article, appearing under ‘Our project’)
  3. When changing the status of a task, it is moved to the first project of the village
  4. The newsletter function doesn’t work properly
  5. ...

Let me know which other things you've found that don't work properly!

Hi Jennifer

I am having that problem too and reported it under the other task yesterday - http://www.nabuur.com/en/group/nabuurcom-website-development/project/tas...
From Pelle's reply it looks like a general problem.

The strange thing is that I am getting notifications of news, new projects, new tasks, and comments on news items. But not of new posts to tasks, which is the notifications you, I and everyone else really needs. I only realised I was getting those today, so didn't mention it in my original post. I only picked up on it because I spotted a new post in the section that shows posts made by people on my friends list.

I am wondering if the problem is caused by the new format posting form as it started happening around about the same time. If thats the case, I would prefer to have the old posting form back until it can be fixed, although others may not agree with me.

Re: missing result
All results from the old site have been migrated (should have, at least) to the Village news, tagged as 'result'. If it's not there, then there's another bug. Ideas about how to present results better are welcome.
