Hello Kay,

OK, I did what I said might be useful...

see preliminary results at--

http://website.openoffice.org/tryouts/Kay/test/  <-- main page
http://website.openoffice.org/tryouts/Kay/test/DL_index.html <-- download index page

note:

* I created a small js file called globavars.js
Only thing in it at this point is the declaration for VERSION but maybe we want to keep other definitions here as well * I made all link references to js and css files absolute rather than relative. This keeps things nice when you're in test mode in other directories as I have here.

Let me know what you think

looks good. :-)

OK. Thanks.


IMHO there shouldn't be any problems when:

a) putting the other variables in it.
b) move the file to download.openoffice.org
a) renaming VERSION into STABLE_VERSION and modifying the other HTML websites respectively.

Again, OK, but I think this difference would apply only to folks wanting to download development versions, and I'm not sure if this would come into play with our normal download.


The only "problem" could arrise when coming with a new JS file. ;-) But anyway ...
Well I understand your concerns here but, well, if we did this at least we'd only need to change the ONE place instead of many.


At the moment the OOO310_m2 is coming and I want to use the chance to introduce the new download structure. Maybe we can keep the "variables in a JS file" thing in mind to avoid any problems. So, let's wait a bit with this change.

OK, let me look into these other areas you're concerned about and see what effect this has.

Thanks for looking.


I don't want to be the reason when the people cannot find the builds for testing. ;-)

I hope you understand.

Best regards

Marcus

had you the chance to look for the variables or have you updated it already? *impatiently asking* ;-)

I have not done anything yet. I am working on this today. So far, I have identified the following pages using VERSION

www.openoffice.org/index.html
download.openoffice.org/index.html

that need immediate attention I guess. I guess it makes snese to put the definition for VERSION directly in the download JS since presumably this is the ONLY place it is used, but doing this requires the import of this entire JS script file just to get at this definition for the most part. So, I am still kind of in a quandry about this, and still wonder why we just shouldn't stick this definition in a JS file of its own.

Thanks

Marcus
