What's new:

(2010-05-08) Happy Mother's Day! Your Webmaster has discovered a disturbing puzzlement. He cannot log into the site with FireFox. Getting "You have to enable cookies to be able to login to this site". However, he can log into the Crew 1501 website via FireFox (same code, different theme) and can log in using Internet Explorer 7. The discussions in the TikiWiki project about the error suggest a code change. However, the text of the code causing the problem does not match the code being used by the site. So, somehow, the code I installed (via SimpleScripts) is not the same as the code in the TikiWiki project. Might consider migrating the content to Drupal. When I've got time. Perhaps after finishing Woodbadge (another story).
Before anyone asks, ZenPhoto has a problem too. Seems the installed code uses a deprecated function, getSubAlbums. That wouldn't be too bad, except ZenPhoto reports each call to getSubAlbums, which really clutters up the browsing window. This may be another case where SimpleScripts has not caught up with the current project or SS has failed to install all patches. Or I screwed up in the configuration.
(2010-01-30) Troop 1501 website gets upgraded to latest/greatest version of TikiWiki (the application at the foundation of the site). Unfortunately, the upgrade destroyed the previous site making it necessary to rebuild. Photo gallery is now considered "experimental" by TikiWiki developers. Rather than risk exposure to hack attack, have implemented a gallery based on Zenphoto. Sadly, the event calendar (the tiny calendar in the right column) is not an option any more. On the other hand, we have an articles option. Don't look now, because I've not enabled the article module.
