Inkscape Website: upgraded to 3.0 on staging
Dear developers and website helpers,
One of the features needed on the website was 'revision history', to be able to see edits and revert them if needed. The newest version of django-cms[1], version 3.0 is a big step up from the previous 2.3 we were using.
I've done all the background work to upgrade our website to this version of django-cms and deployed it to staging for testing. Please take a few minutes to test the staging website and report back any issues.
You'll find the editing process to be much easier now and I hope the translation of pages should be easier too since we have diffs from the revision history to calculate changes.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
[1] At the LGM meeting I stated that the django-cms project wasn't maintained, this was incorrect. There are plugins which have been dropped (twitter) and plugins which have been moved over to other focused projects (text). Version 2.3 is unmaintained.

1. The warning that you're on a staging website seems to have went missing.
2. Is the password on the staging website different?

This is excellent news :)

I actually added it to the cms toolbar so it appears when you edit the page rather than all the time.

Yes, different user accounts between live and staging. Please register an account or log in via google etc. I can enable your account.
Martin,
Some feedback regarding the staging website:
1. The new editing interface looks sensible, though I didn't notice that the "Live" button in the top right is actually a toggle.
2. The treatment of whitespace in the source view is a massive improvement, it's no longer a giant on-line mess.
3. Editing of the home page seems a little broken, for instance there doesn't seem to be a way to edit the content of the buttons below the graphic. It looks like some elements in the "Structure" view mode are off the right side of the page and therefore inaccessible.

This is an issue. The buttons aren't actually part of the cms but a part of the page.
I'm wondering if it might be better to replace the home page template with a normal template and fill the space with a single content piece.
Or maybe a seperate template still but a single entry instead of lots of smaller ones.
