Seeing a list of all users in Educoder

currently, I can only see 5 members in the "Who's new" section.

I want to be able to see a list of all educoders.

Two places to see all users

Great idea, Hiroki. And thanks for starting this thread.

On every Drupal site the /profile path will list all users. Unfortunately, the layout makes it a little hard to match the user up with the avatar.

I installed a module specifically for this, site_user_list, but it has its own problems. For one, it doesn't show avatars at all because we're using Gravatar.
Check it out anyway; it's the"Registered Educoders" link in the starred navigation box on the left.

Several Things

- How do I browse Bibliography items?? I think Bibliography search by tags and authors it's broken or at least it's not working for me.

- I would like to be able to browse Educoder members and see their related projects.

- I would like to browse Projects (by name list, by tags, search...)

- It would be great to be able to add several people to Projects, not just one.

- It also would be great to have Organization items, in order to represent Research Groups or Universities within the webpage. These Organizations should be related to users and to projects as well.

- How do I reply to a forum thread??
I think this is just a comment (replying Hiroki's coment) and not a replay to the forum thread. Correct me if I'm wrong :)

Several answers

hi Carlos,

- How do I browse Bibliography items?? I think Bibliography search by tags and authors it's broken or at least it's not working for me.

A: I answered this one below before reading this. ;)

- I would like to be able to browse Educoder members and see their related projects.

A: You can see in my reply to Hiroki a couple ways to view the members. There's no way yet to see their projects. I'm not sure yet whether to manage that info here or using Ohloh. Let's keep discussing it.

- I would like to browse Projects (by name list, by tags, search...)

A: The tech is there. They just don't have tags yet. Try "More options" under the Keyword Search box and you'll find a faceted search interface. Feel free to tag them.

- It would be great to be able to add several people to Projects, not just one.

A: Agreed, but just as above I'm not sure whether to do that here or in Ohloh. And is a project a code project or a research project?

- It also would be great to have Organization items, in order to represent Research Groups or Universities within the webpage. These Organizations should be related to users and to projects as well.

A: Hmm, it's getting complicated. :) I think we could eventually be a DB of stuff but first I'd like to focus on discussion.

- How do I reply to a forum thread??
I think this is just a comment (replying Hiroki's coment) and not a replay to the forum thread. Correct me if I'm wrong :)

A: In Drupal it's the same thing, so you've got it.

Bibliography items appear at the bottom of the page

Ok, so I have just realized that bibliography browsing is working, BUT the results appear at the bottom of the page, instead below the Bibliography title and search box :/

Bibliography no longer hidden at bottom of page

yeah, that was an annoying layout bug. It was because of the 3 column layout so I switched down to 2 columns: one long list of blocks on the left and the rest for the main content.
