[opensuse-web] Issues with opensuse.org startpage
Hi web-team! I would like to help in maintaining the opensuse.org startpage. There are some issues that I would like to help fixing [1]. Is there a documentation somewhere how the process of updating the page works and who are the responsible people? Greetings [1]: - The news&events feed is not parsed/included correctly - The "sponsored by" section has no content - The lower left half of the page is empty - Language dropdown broken: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-web/2010-01/msg00000.html - Challenges for changing the content of openSUSE.org: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=521841 - Wrong page encoding: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555196 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555169 -- Thomas Schmidt (tschmidt [at] suse.de) SUSE Linux Products GmbH :: Research & Development :: Tools "Don't Panic", Douglas Adams (1952 - 11.05.2001) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-web+help@opensuse.org

A simple "svn up" in the webroots on static.opensuse.org and www.opensuse.org should do the trick. Do *not* forget to run the fix_persmissions.sh script afterwards to make the editable files writable for the WYSIWYG editor. We had serious issues on the openSUSE 11.2 launch as you may remember! ;-) Greets, Andreas -- Andreas Demmer Rathenaustraße 16 55576 Sprendlingen Telefon: 0 67 01 / 200 52 58 Mobil: 0 177 / 24 32 873 ICQ: 103 924 771 Skype: andreas.demmer http://www.andreas-demmer.de

Are these two physical machines or just two vhosts hosted on narwal-opensuse? I did the changes directly on narwal-opensuse (aka static.o.o) (/srv/www/vhosts/static.opensuse.org/hosts/www.o.o) and according to svn st -u this working copy is up-to-date. But the changes do not show on www.o.o.

I know. BTW: Does this editor generate utf-8 output? It should do so, otherwise we will have encoding problems again. -- Regards Frank Frank Sundermeyer, Technical Writer, Documentation SUSE Linux Products GmbH, Maxfeldstr. 5, D-90409 Nuernberg Tel: +49-911-74053-0, Fax: +49-911-7417755; http://www.opensuse.org/ SUSE Linux Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) "Reality is always controlled by the people who are most insane" Dogbert -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-web+help@opensuse.org

AFAICS www. is a different machine, that's what a ping reveals to me at last: 130.57.4.24

The editor transfers all non-ascii characters to HTML entities. The used javascript rich text editor takes care of this.

The described problems of news&events feed, sponsored by and broken language dropdown are probably caused by non-working 'SSI includes' of the webserver or missing files. Can I get access to this server to fix it?

Which WYSIWYG Editor are we talking about?

Wow, this looks indeed like SSI stopped working! The site was programmed in a way, that a WYSIWYG editor writes a statical whats_hot.html file and a cron job writes periodically a news.html file. Both statical files are included in the main frontpage via server side include tags (SSI). Has someone touched the server configuration that this stopped working?

Hello, This most likely happened during the upgrade. Because of the major changes involved, I rewrote the configuration from scratch. I didn't know that the landing page used SSI, so I didn't include that directive when writing the configuration. It should be enabled now. As for the files, I am no longer able to run 'svn up'. It appears that repository has moved or has some other issue. Can someone direct me to its location, and I'll just run a full checkout from there?

Hello, Frank sent me the new repository location. I was concerned about conflicts, so I just did a fresh checkout, and www is running on it right now. I also updated the cron so that the news section refreshes correctly. I also remembered hearing a concern last fall about Apache being able to serve files within the hidden svn directories. That concern got pushed on the back burner since we were preparing to upgrade the wiki. However, the checkout from the new repository reminded me of the issue, so I took the opportunity to fix it by configuring Apache to return 404 Errors on any requests made to anything within the .svn directories. Thank you Thomas for pointing out the SSI issue and Andreas for mentioning the cron job. Hopefully, there should be no more surprises on what is required for the site :P Matthew Ehle Web Engineer Novell SBU Application Development & Maintenance Office Phone: (801) 861-2722

Sounds good! Have you ran the fix_permissions.sh script afterwards? This is *vitaly* important for the WYSIWYG editor to work!

Could you also update the stage server from that directory? I did a diff, and there are many changes.

It seems this is an outdated installation? Because the site seems to be hosted at Novell, and maintained by Matthew Ehle, right? So I think we should remove it from narwal to avoid confusion. Could you do that, or grant me access to narwal?

Correct, as you found out, www.opensuse.org is located in Provo and maintained by Matthew Ehle. I believe the content is on narwal as it was planned use static.opensuse.org also on the www.opensuse.org website. Maybe this already happened, maybe not.

Yes, www.o.o uses images and js files from static.o.o, so it would not be a good idea to remove it ;-) Greetings -- Thomas Schmidt (tschmidt [at] suse.de) SUSE Linux Products GmbH :: Research & Development :: Tools "Don't Panic", Douglas Adams (1952 - 11.05.2001) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-web+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-web+help@opensuse.org

Ok, it seems Matthew Ehle deployed te changes, so i closed these bugs. The index pages are served as utf-8 now, and the included whats_hot.html and news.html are also utf-8. But I still wonder where this wysiwyg editor is, and who uses it? For example there is a recent russian whats_hot translation, but it's not included in the russian page.
