Move Xmas campaign

Move complete directory (without .htaccess, which probably wasn’t doing anything) to root subdirectory here.
Change PayPal from live to sandbox.
Easy to add a standalone page to a WP site. Shame the reverse is not possible. Unfortunately it doesn’t appear in the sitemap.
Re-direct xmas.CAS to main site. Use
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; URL=https://www.cardiff-astronomical-society.co.uk">
One line in header, no messing with .htaccess or DNS records. See W3c article

Add Talks system

/talks – Next talk details
/talks/past – list of past talks
/talks/future – list of future talks

Click on any row in either list to get the talk details.
c. 40 talks entered, but there’s no reason why they shouldn’t all be added if anyone wants to.
No search facility in the lists at the moment.

Issues:

  • /talks/past and /talks/future don’t appear on the sitemap because they’re not real pages. (What about SEO?)
  • Individual talk details are still written as /talks/?id=nn. The slug is not being rewritten properly. This is not very serious.
