Today I was about to post a news item on osgeo.org, and browsing past news
items I noticed that all of them (at least the recent ones) have lost
their description.
One example is http://www.osgeo.org/node/1436
In editing mode, luckily, all the text is there.
I have tried Firefox 28 and Epiphany and in none of them the text of news
items is shown.
I also disabled CSS and the page content is actually missing the news
items details.
RSS feed as well is missing news item details - if I remember well, this
page shall show title+text of news items:
http://www.osgeo.org/news/feed
I checked Events and they are correctly displayed.
Let me know if you need more information.
Best,
Anne

I believe the news is handled via some special plugin which might not have
made it through the transition.

Comment(by jsanz):
The feed has been always without content. The OSGeo planet has never shown
the content of the OSGeo news. As one of the planet admins I was annoyed
but embarrassingly, I've never tackled the topic assuming it has to be in
that way for any reason (I know it's easy on a vanilla Drupal instance to
set it up).

Anne, thanks for testing and reporting the missing news item content, I'll
try to identify what's different on the new platform. Was the feature
known to be working correctly until last saturday (2014-04-06) ?

Comment(by jsanz):
Martin, the feature missing reported by Anne is the news content not being
shown at all. For example:
http://www.osgeo.org/node/1437
At least as anonymous user I can't see the actual content of the post.

Probably yes. I can confirm that by the time I posted last news item
(pycsw, 20 March) it was working properly - afterwards I only visited the
homepage, which looks fine.
Thanks,
Anne

After I've downgraded PHP on the Web VM to 5.2.6, at least the News items
are looking better to me. Could you please confirm ?
No, I don't call this a "solution", but from my perspective I'd say it's
still better to run the Web VM with an unsupported version of PHP than
running the entire host on completely outdated software.

I confirm. News content are shown again. The feed (that also harvests the
planet) is still without content but I think it has nothing to do with the
issue you fixed.
I don't have access to admin pages but it would be great if RSS publishing
can be configured to publish full content on the news items.

I confirm too that content is back, thanks Martin!
As the solution is not ideal, I leave the decision of closing the ticket
to you.
I have thought that the missing content could depend on the language
choice. For all news items in last year or so, I chose "Any" instead of
"English". Maybe there is some interaction with translations and the
localised versions management?
Later today I'll add a couple news items that I received last week, then I
am available for testing/checking of a stabler solution.

Comment(by martin):
I'm pretty sure most people don't log into the page in order to read the
News overview. Ayhow, those who do and have a language setting which is
"incompatible" with the respective tag on the News item won't see it on
the list.
Thus, if you choose English for the item, my personal setting is German
and there's no German translation, then I won't see the item listed in the
overview if I log into the page. Thus, if you don't plan to provide
translations, I'd guess (!) that "Any" is the preferred choice.
Regarding display of the content, I still consider the issue as not being
fixed. We either need to replace certain sections in the Drupal PHP code
or update to version 6.x - volunteers wanted, I know very little about
Drupal.
