Hi, another status update: Martin has worked to fix the issues that had the greatest impact on website use, after the switch to the new Python 3 version of the website. 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 <a href="">....</a> 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 '<other>' 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? Ask Martin for details :) Maren Am 12.10.18 um 03:14 schrieb Maren Hachmann:
