Hi *, As indicated in earlier mails, the restructuring of the code for the download-page is almost complete. What is lacking is to make it look a little nicer, but the functionality I intended to add is all there.
What follows is a description of the changes, and after the ############################### I will list the changed strings, so please read all of it/at least skip to the delimiter :-) You can try it out at http://staging.libreoffice.org/download List of changes/implemented features: * add the content from the cms at the top of the page. → allows projects to put lengthy explanations on the download page, that are displayed always, not for .0 or .1 versions (those still work) * it is now possible to only select one of the paramaters, instead of all three, i.e. you can preselect a version, and have the rest auto-detect: → http://staging.libreoffice.org/download/?version=3.6.6 will offer the 3.6.6 download, but still detect the language and OS → http://staging.libreoffice.org/download/?lang=fr will offer the french version, and autodetects version (defaults to latest stable, currently 4.0.4) and autodetects the OS → http://staging.libreoffice.org/download/?lang=nl&version=3.6.6 will preselect dutch version of 3.6.6 for whatever OS the site detects. * it is now possible for the user to switch os or version using one single choice, without having the need to click through all the pages. Only changing the langauge will show a separate page, because the list of languages is so big. But changing from rpm to deb, or from windows to Mac is now just one click. * also the versions are presented for selection by the user, so both codelines are mentioned/available. * clicking on the main download (main installler, or portable, or iso, or sdk, or source for core-repository), will direct to the donate page, and donate-page will show the additional downloads, so the user doesn't have to go back to select languagepack or helppack. → note that the actual redirection to automatically start the download is disabled, but it is the same method as currently used on the live site (i.e. using a meta-refresh tag with the download-URL), so the method is known to work. (it is inserted into the source-code but commented-out). → see http://staging.libreoffice.org/get-involved/donate/dl/rpm-x86_64/3.6.6/he/LibO_3.6.6_Linux_x86-64_install-rpm_en-US.tar.gz for an example Now for the part where the presentation ends, and my requests for feedback/translation starts :-)) #################################### #################################### So please provide feedback, if you have css to style it nicely, please go ahead and share. If you have other remarks: feel free to post them. If you reply to more aspects, please split your response into multiple separate messages. (When I ask for translations, also feel free to suggest better English wording) New strings to translate are on the donation page, the text that reads: »Your download %s should begin shortly. Please click the link in case it doesn't start.« (%s is a manual link to the download, using the filename as label) and the optional addition »You can find the optional downloads on the left.« (only shown when there are additional donwloads (langpacks/helppacks, other source-packages), but not for e.g. the SDK or the portable version. Texts on the download page stayed mostly the same, except that the "change system, version or language" now is split. I did pick »Change Language« and »or change Operating system:« (two separate strings, since "Change Langauge" is also the label for a link, and if it would be one single string, I would not know where to split it) Also there is the strings "Stable Versions", "Pre-Release Versions" and "Other versions (hover to show)" But I'm open for feedback on how to present the versions to the users/whether the testing and other versions should be shown by default or hidden behind a link, etc. But the idea is to at least have clickable buttons/links for the stable codelines. The last additional string is a replacement text, that is used when one of the old/additional versions is picked. I.e. for example current version might not be available as portable version, so for example there is 4.0.3 portable, but 4.0.3 regular files have already been moved to the archive since 4.0.4 is available. So when version 4.0.3 is selected, no big-download-buttons are shown, but instead: "No regular installation files are available. Please change your selection or pick one from the additional downloads below. If you're looking for old versions, please visit our downloadarchive." (downloadarchive is again a link.) But the Portable version will show up in the bottom-part with the additional downloads. Don't hesitate with feedback/in case there are any questions. ciao Christian -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: website+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/website/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
