Blackbird Founders Archive | Progress Log

announcements to start; reports of material changes to follow

Tuesday

Updated search/archive link in left menu to relative paths in v19n1, v19n2, v20n1, v20n2. Also updated paths for all these site definitions and exported.

First meeting with KP, lead coder/pagebuilder to orient him on what has transpired since his previous work on the legacy journal.

HasTech confirmed installation of Adobe Cloud Hibbs 341. Not machine licenses; requires students/faculty to login with their Adobe license.

Thursday

Successfully tested Adobe login from both a student university license and a faculty (departmentally funded) license.

Confirmed URL forwarding from blackbird.vcu.edu URL to blackbird-archive.vcu.edu URLs for any folder leading with v1-v-23 and thanked library team accordingly; cc: new journal editors and library admin

Identified failure of forward on “out of issue” content in folders with a leading “v” but with no volume number; this included a bank of audio files (zero hour), the contributor index in progress, our archive link TOC page, maps to serial publications across issues, etc. and related this to the same individuals as referenced above.

Response from library team was they would look into it.

Evidently they made a change (no further communication) because clicking to a index link was getting us a 404–not instead of doing a forward to the blackbird-archive URL, it is instead dropping the user on the archive/index page.

Tried having student map to the R: drive–all tests failed. Used most of our time.
