February 20

Posted on February 20, 2014 by jirihulcr in websites

Rhiannon,
Could you also please address these three things?
– Adam Black (button “Adam”) is not getting notified when I post something. Could you please update that? His email is

ad*******@uf*.edu











– Polly is no longer with us, was replaced with Amanda, her email is

an**********@uf*.edu











.

– just to make sure that it’s all working, could you please check that all people that have buttons are set up to receive notifications? Thank you!!!!

– The Bark Beetle Academy website continues to impress people and attract attendees. I am super happy with it, thank you! It is unfortunately not fully compatible with Internet Explorer. Some version of IE don’t open up the tabs. Most federal employees have only IE at work, so consequently, I am getting a lot of confused questions. Can we make the site IE-proof? Thank you!

-Would you be able to stick an inconspicuous IFAS logo on the Backyard Bark Beetles website somewhere? Just so that it is recognized as official by IFAS, but not ugly….

Small things again…

Posted on January 19, 2014 by jirihulcr in websites

Rhiannon,
Two quick questions:
I was wondering about the Captcha that you mentioned you set up for the Forum registration process. Somehow I don’t see it there. Also, fake users keep registering with the same rate, now there are many over 300…It appears that the website is now somehow broken again… sorry that it keeps happening. If you try to register, you will see what I mean.

Also, seems like Adam Black is not getting emails when i post something under the Category “Adam”. Can we please make sure that it’s set up for him correctly?

Thank you!
J.

PS: I trust that you keep track of the hours working on this stuff, right?

Please let me know if you got an email…

Small things before the holidays

Posted on December 17, 2013 by jirihulcr in websites

Rhiannon,
Just a summary of what we talked about this morning:

1- The highest priority: could you please add Captcha to the Forum registration process? There are almost 300 fake users and some are starting to post random topics.

2 – Could you pelase add yourself as a user so you get notified of a new post here?

3- Could you do some exploration of the possibility of either turning the posts into a sortable list, or using Tags as a filter in a slightly more elegant manner than presently possible? The exploration time is paid, of course…

4- One thing we did not talk about but it should be addressed eventually: Please look at the Beetle map: http://www.backyardbarkbeetles.org/ There are many dots, but very few of them actually contain any beetle information. It looks like people are logging in their information, it shows up, but then they never send anything. Can we set it up so that the dot only shows up when Sedonia updates/identifies beetles related to that collection event?
Does it makes sense? Please let me know if I can provide any additional info!

Thank you!

Analytics

Posted on December 16, 2013 by jirihulcr in websites

Rhiannon,
I can’t figure out two things, and would appreciate your help. (I hope you got the recent payment – please consider these questions to be a part of the “contract”.)

– my google analytocs account shows data only for the treehealth/index and treehealth/sample_submission.shtml, but not for the Forum… obviously,t hat’s a different website. But how can I track that one? Ideally Iwould like to see all those in one analytics report, because otherwise the Forum, a one-pager, will have high bounce rate.

– how do I filter out meaningless visits (for example, robots and mistakes” from user visits? I tried to filter out only visits that lasted more than 1 minute, but that doesn’t seem possible. Is it something related to the “bounce rate”?

Thank you!
J.

Posted on December 16, 2013 by jirihulcr in Adam

Adam,
Whenever you have a breathing moment, please let’s restart the list of currently registered treatments for forest pests. Not urgent, but it cannot fall through the cracks. You mentioned you already have some written down, right?

Priority level: 3 (out of 3)

Funding sources numbers

Posted on October 25, 2013 by jirihulcr in Miscellaneous

In former days we used to acknowledge our funding sources using specific award numbers. It has become obvious that listing only the agencies is easier, and has equal impact. Therefore, please only list the following:

The United States Department of Agriculture – APHIS, the USDA Forest Service, and the National Science Foundation. For projects that include foreign fungi, please also list the Florida Department of Agriculture – Division of Plant Industry.

(The following project nunbers are here just in case hey are needed; they are typically not to be used in Acknowledgements. They are also not always updated.)
USDA-FS-FHP Coop agreement 12-CA-11420004-042 (anything related to fungi)
USDA Farm Bill agreement 14-8130-0377-CA (current Farm Bill; travel, pre-invasion assessment)
NSF DEB 1256968 (old NSF – anything related to beetles)
NSF DEB 1556283 (new NSF – anything related to fungi

Ship traps

Posted on October 15, 2013 by jirihulcr in Adam

Adam,
As per our yesterday’s conversation, please ship 12 traps to TREC in Homestead.
Before you pack them, please take note on how many are old and how many seem a little bit newer. We will ask for those back in the Spring.
Thanks,
J
