Status update

Hi,

I think the new multilingual website system is working now (well, the technical side works, I have not added all pages
andfiles yet). You can find it on http://wwwdevel2.postgresql.org 

It would be good to get some comments / suggestions on the code now... you can find it at
/home/www.postgresql.com/andreas/public_htmlor view it on the web at http://svn.gamecrashnet.de/repos/pgsql_org/ 

Some comments on how the system works:

Every request goes through some RewriteRules in the .htaccess file. If the files exists in the cache directory, this
oneis delivered (for performance reasons). If the is for a file in the /admin, /layout or the /files directory, nothing
happens.Every other request gets redirected to the script /system/handler.php (or /system/handleform.php which handles
everydynamic request) where the pages get built and delivered dynamically. 

There is a script in the /tools directory called "rebuildcache" written in PHP, this can rebuild parts or or the whole
cachedirectory. just call it without arguments to get the help. The cache directory contains all static pages and
elements,so this can be used to mirror the whole website (all dynamic contents get linked to postgresql.org
statically).

Is there a problem with this? Or is something missing?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Andreas Grabmüller

Hi Andreas,

This definitely looks like a good start.  Found it difficult to get the
German version of the site to load automatically (Mozilla probably
needed a restart after changing the language selection, but I had too
many other windows open with interesting things in them to want to close
them...).

Is there a strategy in place for creating news and events in languages
other than English?

We'd probably want to manage the events and news a bit seperately from
each other... or at least have a "language" field for each news/event so
it only displays the relevant ones.

This might or might not have been considered already though, with me
having missed the conversation...

;-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Hi,

Mozilla allows you to set multiple languages I think... will have to check what headers it sends then...

news and events can be translated in the new admin area (http://wwwdevel2.postgresql.org/admin/ - don't miss the
trailingslash!), you can add yourself to the .htaccess in that directory to have a look at it. It's password protected
asit acts on the live database - please be careful on it ;) I will add the possibility to translate the polls, too -
thisis implemented in the website, but missint in the admin area. 

It's currently implemented in a way that every news and event is added in english and then translated by us in the
adminarea. Those entries not yet translated automatically fall back to the english ones... 

There are some new database tables for it, called events_text, news_text and survey_questions.

Documentation can be translated by simply adding the new entries to the documentation table in the database using the
correctlanguage code.

Hi Andreas,

Looks very good! Nice work. Yuo probably noticed already, but the page design has been updated slightly on the live
site- that shouldn't be difficult to update however. 

The golden question though, is how does it handle mirroring? Currently, we mirror all non-php pages, excluding a select
few(things like the buildscripts). None of the mirrors have any special configuration, or even PHP these days. Is this
goingto cause any problems, or will it work? 

Regards, Dave.

Hi Dave,

It *should* work fine - there are many .htm files in the cache directory, also the layout and files directory. The only
thingmissing is a nice index page and they can simply mirror the cache directory. The only pages not cached/mirrored
currentlyare download.htm and mirrors.htm as the mirrors-near-you-feature need php. 

The design gets created using 4 "template" files, should be no problem to change this. But the only difference I see
(yet)is the bigger font size of the top menu, and when we increase this the german menu gets too long... :( 

Oh, and Justin, the language auto-selection should work now with Mozilla. To test it you will have to clear your
cookiesfor that server as the script sets a cookie that overrides that browser setting...

OK. I'll see if I can get some time in the week to setup a mirror on one
of my servers so we can see if there are any issues.

Yes, that was always an issue in English. Can you get a shorter language? :-)

Seriously though, the font sizes were increased all over the place,
including the side bars, and the main content. If you haven't hacked them
about too much, it might be easier to try to merge the style sheets and
globals.php.

Hi Andreas,

Sorry for the delay, however I've been extremely busy recently.

It looks good to me from here - I have rsync'd a copy, and that seems OK. I take it the idea is that the
tools/rebuildcachescript will replace the current scripts that build the whole site? How quickly does it run - the
currentstuff takes only a few minutes. 

If you can sort a mirrorable index page, and bring the content/design up to date then I think we're ready to go.

What does everyone else think? I'd like to hear more opinions before making such a large change to the site live.

Regards, Dave.

Hi Dave,

yes, the rebuildcache script is made to build the whole site. In my last test it has taken about one minute to rebuild
everythingexcept the documentation (which takes really long) in two languages. But I don't think it is necessary to
rebuildthe docs very often? 

I'm currently working on getting the new design working. As we have problems with the different length of the words in
thedifferent languages, I'm replacing the style= parts of the code with a class= and putting that formatting
informationinto postgresql_en.css and postgresql_de.css so we can use different sizes for every language...

Currently the whole site is done hourly. It certainly doesn't have to be that regular for the docs, though I think the
frontpage should be to pick up new events etc.

OK. What about a slight redesign to allow the wrapping to occur without messing up the formatting? Alternatively,
Robertwas looking at making a non-fixed width version of the site which might solve this problem.

Sorry, I just don't have time right now. Go with your current idea for now if you prefer - we can always revisit the

Sorry for piping in here guys,

but I've recently redone the tendra.org site (be aware, the IPv6 address
points to the new machine and isn't working yet) and would like to help
on designing a bit more usable postgresql.org site.

Could someone be so kind to inform me what is being done at the moment,
because I have some ideas I want to work out and present to you people
over the course of the coming days/weeks.

Hi Jeroen

The major project right now is Andreas' baby - namely to recode the site in an translatable and easily maintainable
format.Further info is best left to Andreas as I'm not familiar with the details of his implementation.

Unfortunately I am slammed right now too, but I'd much rather see an
implementation that no longers uses fixed widths than separates our css
files into different langs... I had somewhat stopped waiting for your
lang changes to get committed before working further on it... Andreas,
if I show you what I was working on do you have an interest in
implementing it?

Hi,

not sure if there's much left to say... the codebase has been completely rewritten, but the layout (currently) is the
sameas before. You can see the current status at http://wwwdevel2.postgresql.org

What about this?

http://wwwdevel2.postgresql.org

This would maybe allow us to have at least the right menu on the documentation pages...

Hey, now that works well. We could add the sidebars to all pages with that design - what do the rest of you guys think?

I think this looks like it's about ready for primetime now Andreas - the only problems I could see are that the fonts
arestill smaller than we now use on the site, and on the mirrors page, 'We think this mirrors are near you:' should
probablyread 'We think this mirrors is near you:'. The preselected mirror should probably also be centered in the page. 

How will that mirror code work on the mirrors?

Regards, Dave.

Well, the right sidebar is a good idea. I think we should not use the left one on the documentation pages as that would
requireus to rebuild the documentation too often to renew the surveys an gborg stats... 

> I think this looks like it's about ready for primetime now Andreas - the only problems I could see are that the fonts

The left and right bars and the menu should have the same font sizes as on the main site. I have not yet updated the
templatesfor the inner pages... 

> and on the mirrors page, 'We think this mirrors are near you:' should probably read 'We think this mirrors is near
you:'.The preselected mirror should probably also be centered in the page. 

For me here in Germany it shows 4 FTP mirrors for example... I think that 'is' wouldn't be grammatically correct then?

> How will that mirror code work on the mirrors?

Well, the simple anser: It won't. The links to the download.htm and to the mirrors.htm are currently hardcoded to the
mainwebsite, as the actions for all the forms are.

Hmm, I'm not sure how that would look - might be a bit odd. Perhaps it should stay as it is.

It's the main body text I noticed which is still different even on the index page.

It would be if you changed 'this mirrors' to 'these mirrors' as well.

Can we align the middle / main section to span as far right as the
middle/top section?  otherwise seems ok to me.
