5th weekly live chat
Site director
We'll do our 5th weekly live chat on December 16th at 3:30pm-5pm GMT (9:30am-11am CST).
Note that this is a different time from our previous live chats and we expect a little shorter. This is because it's Christmas coming up and I'll be in the US for it.
Our weekly live chat is a chat about Composr Deploying, Designing and Developing, open to any one who wants to attend. It's a great way to meet other Composr users, influence development, and get some free support from the busy developers. If you don't get a decent reply on something on the forum or IRC, the live chat is the best place to ask.
Agenda:
- Main topics:
- Following on from week 4, I want to cover more with fields.xml – particularly using this to set default field values for what are normally hard-coded to something else. I also want to show automatic field value appending based on usergroup, and write some more automated testing for the functionality. (https://compo.sr/tracker/view.php?id=3451 and https://compo.sr/tracker/view.php?id=3377)
- Re-arranging custom content fields on inbuilt content types via template editing (https://compo.sr/tracker/view.php?id=2172)
- Chat structure: Jacob has requested to discuss the chat structure
- Community questions: the best way to corner me and get some free step-by-step support or even some coding (if we can cover it within the allotted time of course)
- Write your questions in this topic
- … or just ask them live (either by voice, or via the stream's text chat window)
As always, the link is https://meet.jit.si/Composr. We'll also post a copy of the stream soon after it's concluded for those cannot attend.
See you there

- If not, please let us know how we can do better (please try and propose any bigger ideas in such a way that they are fundable and scalable).
- If so, please let others know about Composr whenever you see the opportunity or support me on Patreon.
- If my reply is too Vulcan or expressed too much in business-strategy terms, and not particularly personal, I apologise. As a company & project maintainer, time is very limited to me, so usually when I write a reply I try and make it generic advice to all readers. I'm also naturally a joined-up thinker, so I always express my thoughts in combined business and technical terms. I recognise not everyone likes that, don't let my Vulcan-thinking stop you enjoying Composr on fun personal projects.
- If my response can inspire a community tutorial, that's a great way of giving back to the project as a user.

My work schedule should get lighter after this weekend and I should be able to get back into the live chat.
