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=nlversion=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
