What works again: ----------------- - News editing and translation - CMS page editing and publishing - Registration - Uploading images What doesn't work: ------------------ - Correct menu language (when you visit the website, you may get English pages, but see a menu in German, Italian, or some other language. This doesn't happen consistently.) - Providing fallback pages if a page doesn't exist in a certain language (it then just goes directly to the English page, with the - hopefully - English menu). This means that translators must pay extra attention on the URL, to see if they are working on their own language, and not the English page! - Messages between users - ... and some more, see https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape-web/issues What works differently: ----------------------- The website does no longer use link plugins. Those were a source of a lot of issues, confusing editors and the CMS alike. Martin converted all existing link plugins to normal html links. This means that - unless a Table of contents, an image, a gallery, a user list or any other plugin are part of the page - one can now copy-paste almost any text from one page to another, without risking to break something. All new links will now be inserted using the link icon in the editor (or .... in the source mode). As redirects aren't working properly, you need to include the language code for the language you're linking to in the link. For a link that is goes to another page on inkscape.org, do not include the domain. In the protocol dropdown, select '' instead of 'https' to be able to leave it out. Another side effect of the change seems to be that publishing works a lot faster than we're used to. The Website instructions Wiki page has been updated to reflect the current changes: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite Help needed ----------- Martin has asked me to ask if someone (preferably someone who is fluent in Python, and if possible, has Django experience) can help with website bug fixing. A good place to start would be to install the website locally on your computer (requires Linux, or a VM with Linux), and to check on the issues section for the website on gitlab. Vectors team, could you publish this request on social media?

In the protocol dropdown, select '' instead of 'https' to be able to leave it out. Perhaps "" was chosen because of its width? But I wonder if=20 "inkscape.org" or something else more specific might reduce confusion? I'm j= ust=20 thinking for myself, if it happens I don't make any edits for a few months, I= 'll=20 forget that I'm supposed to use for local links. Hhmm.... Ok, I'm working on adding a new FAQ, and trying to make a link to t= he=20 Community page. I choose and then I paste in the URL. But the proto= col=20 switches itself to https://, and the https:// is removed from the URL. But t= he=20 domain is still there. I can switch it back to . But should the URL field just say "communit= y/"=20 ? Or should it be "/community/" ? It looks like "/community/" is the right = answer. I'll try to publish.....

The reason I deleted it, is because I don't have time to do this myse= lf.=20 But I recall a year or maybe closer to 2 years ago someone was interested in = adding individual videos (links to them, I mean) to that page.

They have different permissions from other files uploaded so aren't accessible to nginx directly, only to the django server. 😕 I wonder if there's something new in the upgraded django for large files.
