472578 - Redesign: featured projects admin

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

There needs to be some way to created the short blurbs that will be used in the "Featured projects" block on the new homepage.

Mary, I think you said this can be a simple text field, that you will fill in appropriately.  Is that right?

The other option would be to pick the actual group, and automatically generate the text from that group's description.  However, then you're depending on that group to have clean content, suitable for the homepage, and we know that doesn't work so well.  You could work with featured groups to get them to write a suitable title and description.  That would benefit the users, groups, group members, and the homepage, but it could be more work probably :)

Hey there:  Actually, I'd need to be able to include an image in some cases since marketing projects usually have a fancy promo to go with them.

What does:  "ID  	Title  	Active  	Actions" mean?

Changed column headers to be more appropriate.

Mary: mind taking verification on this?  I don't have access to it (even though I'm an "Admin"), and you're probably going to be using this anyway before and after we launch.  Thanks!
