Thread: Consultants/support company list
As a good project to figure out how the system works that backs www.postgresql.org, I've taken upon myself to fix what's needed to migrate the list of consultants / support companies to the new web framework. I've got it more or less done. The data is now backed by the database instead of just a plaintext file, for easier updating. The updating is done through /admin/. A preview of what it looks like right now, with just two companies copied over from the old one, can be seen at http://magnus-master.pgadmin.org/support/professional. Please don't use that form, it currentlyi sends broken mails to my personal address ;-) You can view it, but don't submit it. Thanks. If the list grows really large, it should probaly be split into different pages. But we'll get there later :-) I have the edit pages done as well, but no good place to put them up for show. But the form is basically the same. My two questions: 1) Does this look good enough? Anything needs changing? 2) What should we do about the old onesv (currently on techdocs at http://magnus-master.pgadmin.org/admin/consultants.php). Our options are to either copy them all over, or to just ask the people to re-submit them. I'm not sure how up-to-date that list is. If it's not up-to-date, or there is at least a serious risk that it's not, it might be better to start from a clean sheet (we can of course send a mail to those companies that list their contact addresses). I intend to add functionality to the system to request confirmation that registrations on the system are still current, so we won't be in a situation where we're unsure about (2) next time.. Thoughts? //Magnus

I think you better plan for large lists now rather than think you can add it later. Grey text on grey background is not good... is it winter time in Sweden right now? ;-) Look at the listing for agliodbs... their url is busted, we will need to make sure we have some data scrubbing going on. One thing I was hoping to include in the entries was a #href so that companies could put up links directly to their entry if they wanted. Another thing that would be nice is to allow companies to self update these entries... perhaps some password hash code be sent to allow them to edit an entry if they provided the proper hash ? > 2) What should we do about the old onesv (currently on techdocs at > http://magnus-master.pgadmin.org/admin/consultants.php).

Or do you think it'll be enough to give each region it's own page? >Grey text on grey background is not good... is it winter time in Sweden >right now? ;-) Hey, I didn't make the theme. It's the standard for the website tables. It's the same in the menus for example. It's really all over the site. But yes, it's winter :-) Though they say we should get spring-weather starting next week, and it's starting to get a bit warmer already. >Look at the listing for agliodbs... their url is busted, we >will need to make sure we have some data scrubbing going on. Yeah, what's there now is just an example and ntohing more than a very quick cut/paste. All my fault :) The form probably needs a validator there, yes. >One thing I was hoping to include in the entries was a #href so that >companies could put up links directly to their entry if they wanted. That shouldn't be hard. >Another thing that would be nice is to allow companies to self update >these entries... perhaps some password hash code be sent to allow them >to edit an entry if they provided the proper hash ? That's also something I was planning to do - sometime in the future. I figured we'd start with about what we have now and go from there. One thing I was thinking there was perhaps we shuold have a "site wide account", to modify other things as well (post news, etc). Might as well star thinking in that direction so we don't end up with ppl needing several different passwords. Which is why I thought we'd do that a bit later :) >> 2) What should we do about the old onesv (currently on techdocs at >> http://magnus-master.pgadmin.org/admin/consultants.php).

BTW, as of a couple of hours ago, the same system (more or less) also handles the listings of hosting companies. Same question applies there. >> I intend to add functionality to the system to request >confirmation that >> registrations on the system are still current, so we won't be in a >> situation where we're unsure about (2) next time.. >> > >I'm assuming that this will send an email to the slaves so someone can >review and apply changes? New registrations and modifications go to slaves, yes. And if/when we do the "edit your own", we'd still add approval by the slaves. As for the confirmation system I was talking about I mean have the system send the representative of the company a mail every <n> months with a link in it. If they don't click the link, we remove the entry automatically (or at least hide it). If they do, it's valid for another two months. That could easilyi be done completely without any manual work from the slaves. >Otherwise a very nice start! Thanks! I certainly learned a bit more abuot the templating and forms ;-) //Magnus

I thought our name was a little "all over the place ;)". It seems to me to make the most sense to have a break out listing. You should have the 7 regions. Let the viewer choose the region they are looking for. Let the companies be displayed when they click on a region. Simple enough to reference a valid region for a company from PostgreSQL.

In that case, let's not bother with "regions". Because everybody is going to say they have "worldwide support".

Why do I need to see Africa every time I visit this page ? If there is no company ranking ( I assume we have no such ), I'd better show information about this service and how to register.

Another way of donig this would be to contol the "regions" part based just on where the company has offices, and then have them list "worldwide support available" in the description boxes. Yet another is to add a regino "global" that's for those that provide global support. (There are a lot of companies that don't do that, aren't there). Then companies like cmd would be listed in "global" and "north america". Doing this will also make the page significantly smaller, so it may not be a bad thing. We might not need to split it up into multiple pages yet ;-) [it's gonig to look pertty silly with lots of "subpages" that have just one entry each] I just tried to grab stuff of techdocs, and that was actually one thing I wasn't so sure about ;) Oleg wrote: > Why do I need to see Africa every time I visit this page ? > If there is no company ranking ( I assume we have no such ), I'd better show information about this service and how to > register. Good point, I'll look into filtering it out when there are no entries and just look there. But right now it's listed the way it is because there is one company (cmd) registered for Africa... //Magnus

Robert, Magnus, > Well...

Well, I have two suggestions: 1) Do it the way Magnus has suggested, where "Worldwide Support" is its own "Region". 2) Divvy it up by language instead. I don't like the idea of an strict alphabetical listing on one page, because: a) that's way too much scrolling, especially as the list of companies grows, and b) it unfairly discriminates against SRA and Pervasive and in favor of AglioDBS and CMD. Also, when I get requests for support off the web site, they tend to be for a) a particular language, or b) a particular area/country -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco

But what is the other solution? On any level somebody is going to be discriminated against. Alphabetical is logical, people understand it. Although it would take more work you may want to look at the Consultants listing for Linuxports.com (an old site of ours). On the left hand side there is a consultants box. The whole thing is databased and consultants are able to update their own listings and even submit various levels of expertise. Sincerely, Joshua D.

I've updated it now without this, instead just using regions to group where the offices are. Lets start like that and see what things look like once there is a bunch of data in there. If we need to, we can add the separate region then. Also, it no longer lists the regions, as this can be read in the "Location" field, which makes the list take up less space. >2) Divvy it up by language instead. Not sure how that helps. I think it's better to group it on the regions that the company has offices in. >I don't like the idea of an strict alphabetical listing on one >page, because: > a) that's way too much scrolling, especially as the >list of companies grows, >and Right, which is why we're grouping by region ATM.

No matter how it's ordered, it will discriminate against someone. Unless you want to do random order that changes every time the mirrors update?

The problem with alpha order is only in the "one-big-list" variety where one needs to scroll down through 12 screens of listings before one even reaches SRA. If we divide it up by region, then the scrolling problem is fixed. -- Josh Berkus Aglio Database Solutions San Francisco
