Hi Ivan,

2009/2/9 Marcus Lange <[email protected]>:
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... ;-)

I'll leave this to someone far more capable than me - Kay :)
For pages that have an OOo version other than the latest, such as
http://download.openoffice.org/2.4.2/
the variable can be overwritten in the pages' HTML to specify an older version.

this idea is even better. Variables that can be used globally but can be overwritten locally, too. :-)

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.

Next or dev sound good to me (nice and short) - but perhaps others
could weigh in and share their thoughts.

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.

Trashed is a good way of putting it :)
The page hadn't been updated to reflect the changes recently made to
download.js (splitting of languages into languages.js as far as I can
see) so the download button wasn't even showing - I've fixed it now,

Thanks

but we should keep a list of all the pages that make use of
download.js so that when updates like this are made, JS errors don't
stop people from being able to download.
I've made a basic list on the wiki:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Website/Pages_using_download.js

Yes, but IMHO then another step should be done and list also pages that reference the other files like "languages.js and "exception.css". I've add these to the wiki page.

Best regards

Marcus
