Thread: [Fwd: [pgsql-www] Finishing the Portal]

Hi guys,

Looks like we need someone, or some people, to finish off the PostgreSQL
portal site:

http://wwwdevel.postgresql.org

Ewald, I strongly suspect you'd be interested in this.  Robert, is this
your kind of thing too?

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Hi All,

Due to work & uni commitments I'm not at all sure when I'm likely to be
able to find the time to finish off the last bit of the portal. The
outstanding bits afaicr are:

- Balance the look of sub pages such as mirror selectors by adding the
missing left hand bar.

- Add mirror selectors for pages where appropriate.

The plan was then to pass it to Justin for multilanguage support.

Can anyone else finish off these last bits so it doesn't remain
unfinished forever?

Thanks, Dave.

No, it's proper old fashioned hand written code :-)

Expect to find bugs...

very good :-)

I will help as much as I can.

Who can provide me with detailed information about this.

I think there is a database behind :-)
Data structure and so on..

Hi Ewald,

Well, first things first, you need a user account on the server that the
code is on.

Do you have a preferred username?

Well, I think this needs to be a pretty high priority thing imo so I'm
definitely willing to help out. I'd suggest we open a project on gborg
(unless we're comfortable using sourceforge) and allow everyone to work
on the code from there, unless we have some other facilities set up
already.

I think there should be a general ban on using sourceforge for PG
*project* stuff unless there's a really good reason - we do have Gborg
(and it's developer - hi Chris - after all)!

I think that's only one step away from using MySQL for the website! :-)

Cool.  Using GBorg to share and work on the code sounds like a good
idea.  We just *need* to ensure that the passwords aren't accidentally
uploaded there.

Turning the portal into a gborg project is overkill.  As Dave pointed
out there's not much left to be done, just finish it and get it over
with.  It's taken long enough already, turning it into some huge project
will only stretch it out even longer.

As a *huge* project, you're right, it would.  It's really just a few
files.

However, if they feel it's worth doing as GBorg project, then my feeling
is "what the heck, ok".

This isn't something that someone will be running on their local pc.
This is part of the website.  As small as this portal project is
*supposed* to be and as private as it was intended to be, justify
why it should be turned into a public project beyond "what the heck".

I only suggested it because if we're going to have multiple developers
doing support, we need some type of collaborative structure in place. If
we can get the thing done in a few days by skipping the collaborative
structure then by all means lets skip it and *get it done*. After that
we can flame war ourselves on whether it should be open source, have
multiple developers, use sourceforge, or whatever.  Dave, in your
opinion, whats the best way to tackle getting it done?

Honestly? I think it's a few hours work for one person, assuming there
are no more design changes etc. At most it maybe warrants adding to a
cvs someplace (I believe there is one for the web stuff isn't there
Vince?). I agree with Vince (now there's a first :-) ) - Gborg is
serious overkill.

Regards, Dave.

There are reasons. We are and going to be the face of the postgresql project.
It's not about setting things up and getting it running. That's technicality
and I'm sure we could do that easily.

It's not about 'getting it done' but about 'keep getting it done'. People come
and go. Not always because they don't want to work on  this but due to some
genuine problem.

Such things should keep running whether or not few people are there. I second
the opinion of haing it as a gborg project, properly access controlled and
documented as far as possible.

I would be glad to do documentation part. Let me know what I can do..

Well, ok then.  It is php/sql work right? You can send me the files or
send them to Ewald unless there is a better way to get at them, and if
so just send that to the respective developer and we can get on it.

Picking myself up off of the floor after seeing Dave agree with me.
Gonna hafta frame this one!

Yes, there is a web cvs.

Ewald already has access to them I believe. For your info, they are in
/usr/local/www/www in the jobs vm.

Cool.  That probably settles that then.

:-)

Ewald has an account on the server now, and Robert will too once he
suggests a username to use.

Robert, Ewald, can you guys figure out who wants to do this?

I try to work already on the missing parts.
Takes a little bit time. :-)

But I think at the moment there are few people who work on that.
So the better way to do documentation and that stuff is a docparser of the scourcefiles.

I only suggested it because if we're going to have multiple 
developers doing support, we need some type of collaborative 
structure in place. If we can get the thing done in a few 
days by skipping the collaborative structure then by all 
means lets skip it and *get it done*. After that we can flame 
war ourselves on whether it should be open source, have 
multiple developers, use sourceforge, or whatever.  Dave, in 
your opinion, whats the best way to tackle getting it done?     

Honestly? I think it's a few hours work for one person, assuming there
are no more design changes etc. At most it maybe warrants adding to a
cvs someplace (I believe there is one for the web stuff isn't there
Vince?). I agree with Vince (now there's a first :-) ) - Gborg is
serious overkill.

Regards, Dave.
   

Well, ok then.  It is php/sql work right? You can send me the files or
send them to Ewald unless there is a better way to get at them, and if
so just send that to the respective developer and we can get on it.

Ewald, you seem to be ahead of me on this, why don't you look it over
and let me know what you'd like me to tackle.

Robert Treat

I will try to figure out what exactly I have todo and where

As I said before takes a little bit time. But I will give you an answer in a short time

The menubar problem is done
Has taken about 30 minutes but I had to take care of my sons cause my wife was at a gym course

Now only the mirror selectors has to be done for users longe and so on

I will do this tomorrow.

Robert, if you want to do this I don't mind. :-)

But I think the urls must be selected out of the database.
the fastest way to do this is to copy the mirror files and replace the sql statement
the output should be the same.

and the buildstatistic should be updated with the file

I have added now the left menu bar to the events,news,ftpmirrors,survey

Please take a look at it. Maybe I have forgotten something

there is also a strange </font| tagin the left bar that does not seem to have a beginning but I will investigate this tomorrow

Ewald, I'd recommend using a form embedded in the page, since a pop-up
is probably going to need javascript, and we probably have a diverse
enough group of browsers to avoid javascript if possible.

Also, when it submits it needs to be inserted into the new database in
not approved status. It can then mail it to the list for someone to go
approve it.

Guys, just had a quick look at the site... It would seem the top
graphic has been messed around with quite a bit and the anti-aliasing
has come out rather badly. I've had touched this up by hand, available
at:

Hi Guys,

Lee, thanks heaps for doing this.  :-)

As an improvement to the existing graphic, are you ok to generate an
updated version that uses the same dark blue color for the whole
"PostgreSQL" word?  The present approach of having "Postgre" and "SQL"
in different colors isn't helping with people's perception of the
project name.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Justin, I gave the change a go, but without knowing the original font,
or having it installed it was only ever going to look worse. Instead
i've redone the text in 48pt bold "helmet condensed", which I think
maintains the overall feel of the site.

The original, anti-alias change, and with the new text are all at:

Hi Lee,

Oops.  Sorry about that.

Is it worth cut and pasting the top banner from the Techdocs site?  Look
some time a while ago touching it up and making that all one color with
the existing font.

?
