Outstanding Issues 9/30

We are work­ing hard to have every­thing work­ing smoothly, and while Word­Press may have infi­nite pos­si­bil­i­ties, the time and per­son­nel to imple­ment them is finite. Below are some of the more both­er­some issues we are tracking:

  • Guest Account Pro­vi­sion­ing accounts are not able to authen­ti­cate on any of the blogs in the net­work. The prob­lem has to do with the @ signs in the user­names. Cur­rently, only nor­mal Prince­ton netIDs can log in.
  • We do not yet have a sim­ple solu­tion for adding videos that use the PUVOD Flash stream­ing server.
  • We have some doc­u­men­ta­tion, but not nearly as much as we would like.
  • Https works just fine, but forc­ing https by redi­rect­ing from http to https causes our load bal­ancer to infi­nitely loop the redirect.
  • Our Mov­able Type users will have to suf­fer with that aging plat­form just a lit­tle while longer as we migrate dozens of sites.
  • There is not a sep­a­rate server for stag­ing con­tent or a mul­ti­stage work­flow as with Roxen CMS. Posts and pages are either unpub­lished (draft) or pub­lished, and you can revert to any pre­vi­ously saved version.
  • The Shar­ing but­tons at the end of posts and pages do not have a Google Plus option.
