That happens, just resend the meeting invitation!

Checking in on the cart notification issues. They will continue using the old URL until October (at a minimum) so i want to make sure that the system continues to function as they expect

Hi Tracy, we will have a look at the cart iissues.

Hello Tracy, we had some maintenance tasks yesterday in the Email server, I think it was at the same time the cart was created, I just tested one simple email function in server now and email arrived ok. Can they test one Cart request to see if the email works now?

Hello. We are on the zoom for gallery

Ok, i'll have them test

Hi Cristobal. Alex confirmed that he is now receiving emails again. Thank you.

Dieneke, are we meeting today at 2pm eastern? I still seem to have old invites displaying on my calendar so i wanted to make sure that was accurate. Thanks.

Hi Tracy, yes today 2pm ET and tomorrow 3pm ET with your drupal consultant.

Hello. A week or so ago, I mentioned that Alex wants to clean up folders on the beta that appear to be empty/testing, but he wants to confirm that these folders do not contain assets that he just can't see, or that they were not created by your team for testing purposes. Also, I want to confirm that Alex has access to see every asset. I didn't want to change his role to Admin, but as an Archivist, no asset should be hidden from him.

Hi Tracy, ill have Cristobal check and confirm.

Dieneke, we are in the zoom for gallery, please confirm others are joining us

Ill check with cristobal and Christopher.

we are on with cristobal now

Hi Christopher. I found that on February 20, the date stamp of that m_2 hidden asset, was also the same date that you had to do an emergency restore of the site to the A location. You said that there was a hardware failure on the B site. So maybe something weird happened at that time. Also around that time, was when we had to relocate/reimport all of those missing assets, where we didn't have the original.

I just reviewed Archivist Vs Administrator permissions and the only difference is that Administrator can see hidden assets (there are around 2,000 deleted assets) that other roles like Archivist can't se, we can enable those assets too for the Archivist if you want.

Lightbox Functionality: Users can filter, sort, and manually arrange files within the lightbox. Files can be selected and ordered manually, allowing for greater control over the gallery's final display. Sorting options will include default orders like date or name, with additional manual sorting for custom arrangements. Thumbnail Sizing: Use high-resolution images (800x800 or larger) for thumbnails in the gallery, allowing for dynamic resizing while maintaining quality. URL Simplification: The URLs for both galleries and carousels have been simplified, using a single prefix (/view/) and unique identifiers to differentiate between them, making the system more flexible for future updates. Next Steps: Sorting functionality is being finalized, and once completed, the system will support both default and manual sorting. The deployment process for the new features was also discussed, with plans to implement changes by Friday, or whenever the remaining tasks are wrapped up Gallery vs. Carousel Rendering Issues: Problem: The gallery renders well but the carousel shows extra space on the top and bottom when embedded directly (no iframe). Action: Fix this by setting a maximum height in the CSS for the carousel container. Fixed Dimensions Problem: Concern: Fixed dimensions for the carousel work on desktop but not on mobile, causing a non-responsive design. Solution: Ensure the carousel remains responsive, avoiding fixed dimensions that break on mobile. Iframe Use: Previous Approach: Earlier versions used iframes for rendering, which worked without spacing issues. Current Approach: No iframes are used, and the gallery renders well, but extra spacing issues arise with the carousel. Mobile Responsiveness: Problem: Fixed dimensions break mobile responsiveness. Action: Explore a solution for maintaining responsive designs across all devices. Caching and CDN Discussion: CDN Usage: Currently, images are served directly from the server. No CDN is in use. Recommendation: Consider implementing a CDN or a geolocated server setup to improve image load times, especially for international users. Monitoring: Traffic and usage will be monitored over the next few months to decide on further CDN implementation. Action Items: CSS Fixes for Carousel: Action: Apply responsive CSS to prevent extra spacing on carousel. Add max height limits and test on different devices. Thumbnail Rendition Fix: Action: Fix thumbnail scaling issue to avoid blurriness, especially for the first impression. Testing for Mobile: Action: Test the carousel and gallery on mobile devices and desktops for responsiveness and any visual glitches. Infrastructure Review: Action: Monitor traffic and access logs to determine the need for CDN or server changes.
