Description Anne Jacko

Denis, the list of presenters shown on the ESE website comes form the submission system data. I made a number of submissions to add the lunches, breaks, etc. So now there's a rather bogus entry in the list of presenters. It's the third one down in the presenters list.

Can you somehow make that go away? I don't know how Gabe did it for earlier conferences, but somehow he did. Thanks.

Also, there's something funky about Oisin's entry. His bio is shown in the wrong font. He didn't even upload a bio to the ESE sub sys, so somehow his one from ECon is getting used. Then after his bio is displayed, the font for all the presenter names changes from regular text to italic.

So that needs fixing too.

Thanks.

I've hardcoded the presenters to ignore presentations by user id "eclipse".  This seems to work.  I'm not sure how it was done last year.

Can you add a blurb somewhere on our wiki docs about this?  I've added some comments in the code.

Looks like there is HTML in his bio.  I'll have to see where the bio is stored.

Indeed, there is HTML in the bio that Oisin can remove himself.

Still a couple of things wrong here.

1. After some investigation, here's what appears to be happening. If someone doesn't have a bio for ESE 2010, the ESE 2009 one is being used. If the ESE 2009 bio has HTML in it, it messes things up. The ESE 2010 bios that have HTML are fine.

I did a "dumb fix" by removing the HTML markup from the ESE 2009 bios that were causing problems (Doug Clarke and Oisin Hurley).

So if you can fix the code so that it only pulls bios from ESE 2010, I think that should do it.

2. Markus Knauer's bio in the Presentations page isn't in the correct font. He has lots of HTML in his bio, and it looks OK, but somehow the font got changed for his bio. Go figure.

3. Two minor sorting issues.
a. The first person in the Presenter list is Janos koppany. The lower-case "k" in his last name causes him to be the first one in the list.
b. Another presenter, Mica J. Block, appears with the Js rather than the Bs.

Gabe fixed this so that the bios are now being pulled from the correct conference. I don't know what the fix was.
