So after reviewing this extension it looks somewhat trivial to drop the code on the server, this I can do in short order. The thing that might take time is setting up the "properties, categories, templates, and, if you're using them, forms" AKA the data structures. Also it is not clear to me if the "Semantic Forms" extension is necessary for this extension to function. I can not tell if there is a way to define the data structures without it? Do you know this? If not I will have to install that extension first.

As to the data structures, the extension suggests that these need to be set up prior to setting up this extension. As such I will need that to be accomplished before I can proceed with installing this extension. This is not something I am comfortable doing on my own as I do not create or maintain the content on the site, nor do I know your intended content for the site. Is this something you can do?

Additionally after this extension is installed can I assume you will be creating the the filters and categories?

Hi Jason, just clarifying that these are questions for Chris? Thanks.

Hi Katherine,

No, these are not questions that can be answered by anyone on my team (Chris and I are both webops). We run the service but really have nothing to do with the content. This is why I have asked these questions. I can adjust the service by installing the extensions but will need someone to handle the content changes.

I did discover that the "Semantic Forms" extension is necessary. It will create some pages where the data structures can be defined, however I will still need someone to do that part of this project.

Regards

Hi Jason,

Sorry for the lapse on this bug. I'm not clear on exactly what is being asked, are you looking for what categories that the Clubs should be searchable by (country, etc)? If so, I can provide that information ASAP. If not, I'm happy to set up a meeting so we can talk through. 

Thanks,

Kate

No, the categories are something you will be able to put in once both plugins are installed. The thing that needs to be figured out is the data structures.

I am happy to have a meeting to discuss this. My Zimbra calendar is up to date so any open slot is fair game.

Thanks

Hi,

Just looping back in here to see if this is still something you are working on setting up or if you have found another way?

Thanks

Is this still something we want to do? The reporter's account is disabled, so CC'ing some other folks from the bug mentioned in comment 0... hopefully they have state on this.

Closing as wontfix. This specific extension is no longer a priority for the Firefox Student Ambassadors program. Thanks for the help in the bug, everyone!
