Website: News plugin revamped
by Maren Hachmann 25 Mar '16

25 Mar '16

Dear fellow website translators and editors, Martin has spent quite some time on revamping the website's news plugin, to improve the workflow for editors and translators, fix the current bugs which prevented us from editing/translating/creating news, and to make editing the news more comfortable. I really like how it has turned out, but look for yourself! These are the highlights: - News can now be created / edited / translated by accessing an extra menu item in the cms toolbar at the top of the page: It's labelled: "News" ;) (see screenshot) - Excerpts can now contain links, and other formatted content. - The editing interface allows you to use the WYSIWYG editor instead of needing to type in plain html. You can now add links by selecting text, then clicking on the link symbol, and style the text. Images or videos must be inserted via source mode, just like before. - Missing news translations are filled in by their English counterparts There's one known issue, due to a bug in the editor: - double-clicking to edit links will give you a dialog that doesn't allow you to edit anything. It also doesn't allow you to click on any close buttons in the dialog. -> To not loose your changes, just click on 'Save' for the parent dialog, and open it again after that. Instead of double-clicking, you can use one of the following options: - right-click on a link, select 'Edit Link' from the context menu - place the cursor somewhere in the link, then click on the link icon - or, lastly, switch to source mode and edit the <a href="http://example.com">link text</a> element in plain html. And one small inconvenience: After publishing a translation for the first time, you'll get a 404 (page not found) error. You can just remove the wrong (english) slug from the url, and hit enter, then you get to a day archive for your language that shows the article you just translated. Kind regards, Maren

Website: Support Us page updated
by Maren Hachmann 23 Mar '16

23 Mar '16

Dear website translators, Brynn has updated the 'Support Us' page (https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/) to also point to the hackfest donation page with an additional paragraph, to create a little more awareness of it. I'm hoping this, and our translations, will help make the Hackfest funding go really well :) Kind regards, Maren

Nice. > About the nesting: Can you give some more details (or maybe make a bug > report with screenshots when you're certain it's a bug at > bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape-web)? It looks flagrant to me but if you want… Here is a screenshot (made with GIMP — :P): http://i.imgur.com/qBq3GYx.png Looks like a title cannot unnest twice at once (e.g. h5 then h2 causes the h2 to be nested in the previous h2). > - That's at least 20 times less than it was before! :D Oh! I thought the button didn't work at all before. This explains that. > - The title looks great - only the page was empty. The gallery (like the > board page) is a special case. In such cases, look at how things are > done in the advanced settings for the page in languages where it works, > then do it the same way in your language. It's fixed now for French. Thanks. But I cannot access the advanced settings of the page in the other languages… The menu is not present. Another remark: if https://inkscape.org/fr/news/ is translated to e.g. https://inkscape.org/fr/actu/ then the ‘Read more’ links don't work. It is also strange that ‘Read more’ is not translated. And we can't either translate the title ‘Latest news’. And the news are sorted by date of translation, not date of publication (which is bad because I lastly translated the Hackfest 2015 article)… And I can't access the articles' translation anymore. (Should I open bug reports for all that?) I see that now plugins can be edited by a single click. That's not really helpful… The previous double-click allowed to select the text for Link plugins, and to edit it avoiding any bug. And the dialog to edit a plugin is sometimes too big and I cannot access the validation buttons! (Try when your edit dialog is maximized.) That's bad. -- Sylvain

Website Update: Changes for editors and translators
by Maren Hachmann 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

Dear fellow website editors and website translators, as Martin has undertaken the tedious work to shift the website to a postgresql database, the website is now fast enough for editing and translating again! There are a lot of changes for editors and still a few rough edges, so be sure to read about them below before you start (known issues at the bottom). CHANGES: ======== To how things look: ------------------- * All menues are now complete in all translation versions of the website. Missing items are filled by their English translation. * All pages that you navigate to in your language will be available. If the page is not yet translated or is empty, the English version will be shown instead. Note that the URL still shows that you are in your own 'language area'. * There's a 'Create' button now available in the top left. If you are a translator, you will never need this button. It is for creating new, non-translation pages. * Toolbar buttons look different now: See screenshots at http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite Translators will probably never need to use the new 'Create' button. Editors can add pages via this new button, or they can use the pages admin interface as before. * Structure mode looks very different, as the display has been optimized for touch displays, but still works the same way as before. * pt-BR has finally been added ;) * We now have teams, there's one for website translators, and one for website editors. Visit their page and ask for a membership, if you're not part of one yet :) https://inkscape.org/teams/ To how things work: ------------------- * When you want to edit a page for the first time after the update, you will be asked to agree to publish your work under the website's licence. This will ensure that your work can be built upon by others in a safe manner. * The option 'Save draft' does no longer exist. It's now 'View published' which is a lot more logical, because we've done the saving already. * When you save a text plugin, you will be asked to fill in a short description of your changes at the bottom of the editor window. This little summary will be used for updating others about your changes (currently not working) * We now have an automatic Table of Contents plugin. Remember how ugly and annoying it was to hand-edit the TOC on the FAQ page? This is now no longer necessary. It may not look right in edit mode (as it's javascript based), but when you leave edit mode, the TOC will be there. This will ultimately save us a *lot* of work. * You can now use your browser's spell checker in the editor window. Open the context menu to change the spell checker language or other preferences by holding Ctrl while you do the right-click. * You can now subscribe to pages and get an update email when it has been edited. To do so, click on the 'Alerts' link in the tool bar. This functionality isn't mature yet, for example, the diffs which are linked from the messages don't exist. Note that you can edit your message settings when you click on the 'Message settings' link in your profile editing page (or here: https://inkscape.org/en/alerts/settings/ ). * All parts of the website are now freely available for translation. If you would like to translate the .po files for the non-cms-managed contents, you will find instructions here: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite#Translating_other_parts_of_… IMPORTANT BUG FIXES: ==================== * 'Empty all' now really only empties your own language's plugins, no longer those of other languages. * The new django version fixes many security issues, the old one was no longer maintained. * All empty, extremely outdated, or only-copied-from-English translations have been removed. The menu titles have been kept when they existed, but they are now filled in by their English counterparts until a translation is made. This way, they will all be up-to-date always. KNOWN ISSUES: ============= * IMPORTANT: When you click on 'Publish' for a page, nothing will happen for a few seconds. Only then does the loading animation start. This is normal now. Don't click on 'Publish' twice, just wait until it starts by itself. Every click on this button will send a mail to all subscribers, and add to the server load. Also, incomplete saves have been seen as a result. * Sometimes, 'Publish' is not available, even if you made changes to some plugins. In this case, go to Page -> Unpublish Page in the toolbar, and when it has been unpublished, click on the big blue 'Publish now' button to publish it again. * Sometimes, the 'Edit' button is not available. Then you can still edit the page by going to Page -> Edit this Page in the toolbar. * The 'Pages' overview in the admin interface (if you have permission to access it) is optimized for touch and widescreen devices. It's extremely difficult to use on a 4:3 screen, as the contents doesn't fit on the page, and the javascript doesn't work correctly when you zoom out. * Copy-pasting any plugins (and changing them after this) will result in the plugin source page (i.e. the English page in most cases) being altered. Never copy plugins! Only copy contents using a detour via a *plain text editor*. * Hitting 'Enter' while editing a plugin in a pop-up dialog may loose previous page edits. ================== Not sure if I captured /everything/, but I hope this will help you to find your way around the new website (and the mail is really long enough now ;) ). The Wiki page that describes the workflow (http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite) has been updated to reflect the current status, so if in doubt, you can look there for info, too, or just ask on the list. If you notice anything weird that isn't mentioned here, encounter a bug or need more info about something, please send a message to the mailing list (translators or inkscape-docs). Happy editing and translating, kind regards, Maren

Website Contents Updates
by Maren Hachmann 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

Dear fellow website translators, as we can now return to editing the website, I'm sending the list of changes, that were made during the last few weeks, out now (screenshots were too large for the list, so they are 'in the cloud'): Current contents changes: ------------------------- - https://inkscape.org/en/community/discussion/ has been changed, because the chat is now no longer part of the CMS, but a real django app. See screenshot for changes: https://framadrive.org/index.php/s/AtzlDPKkRPKsACp - The 'Donate' page has some new icons for download: http://www.inkscape.org/en/support-us/donate/ - The SVG-WG donation page has received a small update, see screenshot: https://framadrive.org/index.php/s/yCxTgpaRP2IST89 - The Governance page was replaced by a link to the Board's team page. - The 'Downloads' page was changed to reflect that Eduard and Nicolas are now uploading both 32bit and 64bit devel snapshots (inserted this in English into all translations). - The Tutorials page was updated to include another tutorial series: https://framadrive.org/index.php/s/u2vOjkx1SVCfBB5 - The Hackfest page for 2016 is available for translation now, the old hackfest pages can be found here: https://inkscape.org/fr/hackfest-2015/ https://inkscape.org/es/hackfest-2015/ https://inkscape.org/pt/maratona-inkscape-2015/ https://inkscape.org/ru/hackfest/ - The po files await you :) : http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/WebSite#Translating_other_parts_of_… - Also take a look at the news section, there are a few new articles! (but beware of the caching bug, always make a local copy of your translation): https://inkscape.org/en/news/ So if we happen to have some time during the spring holidays, we can now finally jump into translation work for Inkscape :D Kind regards, Maren

New News: Hackfest 2016
by Maren Hachmann 04 Mar '16

04 Mar '16

Dear fellow website translators, the dates/venue for this year's Hackfest are now finalized, and we've got a new news article for this: https://inkscape.org/en/news/2016/03/03/inkscape-hackfest-2016-in-leeds/ It would be cool if you could translate the article into your language (it's very short). We've also got a new hackfest donation page - but as website cms editing causes errors for the whole web site, and missing pages are now filled in automatically, I'd like to ask you to not translate it on-site for the time being. Last year's page was translated to French, German, Russian, Spanish and Portuguese - we've done some great work! If you like, you can send me the changes from last year's version in your language by email, and I will try if I can somehow get them in. New page: https://inkscape.org/en/support-us/hackfest-2016/ Old pages (as diff source): https://inkscape.org/en/hackfest https://inkscape.org/de/inkscape-hackfest-2015/ https://inkscape.org/fr/hackfest-2015/ https://inkscape.org/es/hackfest-2015/ https://inkscape.org/pt/maratona-inkscape-2015/ https://inkscape.org/ru/hackfest/ Thank you, and sorry for the inconvenience - Martin Owens is working hard on trying to find out what causes this annoying decrease of performance, but so far it appears as if there isn't the 'one, single' change we can make to the system to speed it up :-( Kind regards, Maren

Website Update
by Maren Hachmann 21 Feb '16

21 Feb '16

Dear fellow website translators, the inkscape.org website has been updated with a lot of new functionality. You can read about the main changes for non-editors here in Martin's summary for the developer mailing list: http://sourceforge.net/p/inkscape/mailman/message/34807473/ For translators and editors, there are a few changes about how the website works, too - for example, missing pages are now filled in automatically with the English contents as a fallback. This means that I am going to remove all those copied English pages in non-English languages, and very few very outdated translations, so that the contents will be current and available for all languages, even if only in English. All website translators are now part of the new, official translators team, and we have our own little section on the website, with our own gallery and (soon) chat: https://inkscape.org/de/*translator I will make a writeup with all the main changes and tricks for you soon and update the Wiki page to reflect the new status. Unfortunately, currently, the website has severe performance issues (every action takes about one minute to complete), and there may also be some database problems. Our web team is working on getting this resolved. I will update you when the site is ready to be 'attacked' by us again - currently, editing is very trying for one's patience ;) Kind regards, Maren

Wrong manipulation
by Sylvain Chiron 26 Jan '16

26 Jan '16

Hello, Big mistake today: I wanted to import the current version of https://inkscape.org/en/develop/next-release/ from English to French but my favorite method is always to delete and copy… But in fact I deleted the content for all languages! Could you restore it, please? -- Sylvain
