Hi Ivan,

we've noticed a problem with the 2.4.2 download website "download.openoffice.org/2.4.2". The old style references are still used and therefore the website looks now trashed.

Please can you transfer the style changes you have done for the other websites also to the 2.4.2 index.html?

Thanks a lot for your help.

Marcus

Hi Ivan,

The new buttons are up on your test page:
http://download.openoffice.org/test/

great work, now the colors are really fitting to the unstable builds. :-)

I hope you don't mind, but I took the liberty of cleaning up the HTML
and giving exceptions.css an overhaul in terms of structure and many
of the styles. The CSS is now much more semantic (I've left the ID's
untouched) so that the styles for the buttons are stored in classes
rather than ID's. <div class="button blue"> (button is the class for
styles that apply to all buttons, while blue is the class for styles
specific to the blue button). Please have a look and let me know if

The changes sounds reasonable and as far as I can see you haven't changed a lot, just the part for the "document.write" functions and some little things here and there, right? And as long as the main download page is still looking and working as before, it's fine.

Is the reference to "style.css" still needed? If not, it could be deleted to prevent possible confusion.

there's anything else that I can help with.

The idea from Gordon could be implemented (to move the variables from index.html to the ../download.js). I've tried this and trashed the whole website, so I had to undo my changes. Maybe you have more luck... ;-)

One other thing comes into my mind:

I would like to change the location in the URL, from "download.openoffice.org/test" to a name that points better to unstable builds in general. When looking to the URL and see "test", then I don't expect something that has a real and official character. It's more about websites or scripts that are tested by the webmasters.

I can think of names like "next", "current", "dev", "unstable", "ng" (from StarTrek's Next Generation)? IMHO the name should be short but still unique in its meaning. IMHO a good thing for a proposal.

Can you think of other things that needs to be done?

If not, I would just wait for the OOO310_m1 build which should come in the next days. Then really all links would work that are listed in the index.html and other.html files and we can announce the new download structure.

Thanks

Marcus

Hi Goran,

The version is currently specified via JS - e.g., on the homepage:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var VERSION = "3.0.1";

... and so on. I'm just asking if this could be moved to download.js
because the same code is replicated on download.openoffice.org (there
may be other instances I am not aware of).

If JS is disabled, this is the only page that currently has version numbers:
http://download.openoffice.org/other.html

Regards,
Ivan.

possible improvement to me.
Search engines? Users of a11y software with JavaScript turned off?
