Thread: 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 -- LetzPlay.de | Freemail: http://www.letzplay.de/mail | Forenhosting: http://www.letzplay.de/foren
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 Andreas GrabmXller wrote: > Hi, > > I think the new multilingual website system is working now (well, the technical side works, I have not added all pagesand files yet).

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. ----- Original-Nachricht ----- Von: "Justin Clift" <justin@postgresql.org> An: webmaster@letzplay.de CC: pgsql-www@postgresql.org Datum: Saturday, August 30, 2003 05:48 PM Betreff: [pgsql-www] Status update > Hi Andreas, > > This definitely looks like a good start.

You can find it on http://wwwdevel2.postgresql.org 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. > 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... :( 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. Regards, Dave.

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.

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...

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. Regards, Dave.

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?

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.
