Re: [hugin-ptx] Hugin's website rework (long term project)
Hi, I usually prefer to put everything in a site from one only place. Could the flickr image be passed to the final user by a hugin url? The problem is that some places, like the place where I work, try to block some sites. Here, for example, we can't access facebook, flickr, orkut and many other sites. Here there are about 100.000 computers (its a big company). So, if its possible I always try to get what I need and pass to the user from my own url, doing like a proxy job. The problem is that with a partial content blocked the page gets misconfigured and the user might not even notice that it was supposed to have a picture there, so he just thinks it is a bad or an ugly page. It's better when the whole page gets blocked, because in this case there is a message saying that and the user will possibly try to access the page at home then.

Hi Cristian, On August 16, 2011 02:42:03 am cri wrote: > I also would like to rework the layout and graphics of the website Thanks. That's sorely needed. I've been just fixing the current layout for a (slow) start, making the HTML more CSS-designable. I like what you did with GNUcash. It is true to the original site in spirit and form. It is an elegant remake in 2010 style of a 1990 site. I recognize the same site, matured and evolved, easier on the eye. > (in the long period) so I'm here to ask a way to experiment with the > website without braking the actual one. Do I have to create a branch? > is there a kind of beta repo for the website where I could work? Yes, please do branch. I think you can use the existing repository. If I am not mistaken Bruno's scripts that sync the live website from the repo will keep syncing the default branch, so what you do on the development branch will not affect the live website itself. IIRC we are more or less maxed-out on our webspace use on SF but we can look for an alternative to sync your development branch with an alternate webspace to show work in progress until it is deemed fit to replace the current website. If I am not mistaken, you get some user website space with your SourceForge account (/home/project-web/.u/), but I have never tried to use it. I plan to replace the current pull sync (the live site is synced by a cron job) with a push sync using Hg post-commit hooks once I get around SF's permissions and file system layout (I already have it working on servers I control). It will make the updates practically instant and it will save on resources and dependencies (no need to run a separate server with cron jobs). > While in the process I would also like to make the website > translatable via gettext. Why via gettext? I am not familiar with the use of gettext for translating website and am interested to hear the pros and cons. Given SF's limited resources, I would not want to introduce more server-side dynamics (PHP) than strictly necessary and since the texts are static we do not need to waste CPU cycles on looking up and replacing strings dynamically, which is my understanding of how gettext works. What is wrong with static translations of HTML documents? > I've never done this before so I will try to learn it during the process. We can all learn from each other while Hugin progresses. > I've implemented a webpage that retrieve a random photo from flickr I have left the most critical part of my feedback to the end because I wanted to first show you that your work is appreciated and that I am aware of the need to improve that website. But... ... I find the introduction of a Flick dependecy for such an important part of the website a very bad idea. Yuv signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

You've kept the original "ideas" and introduced some fresh wind. Looking forward to see the beta-version of hugins new website.

[hugin-ptx] Hugin's website rework (long term project)
I've implemented a webpage that retrieve a random photo from flickr with tags "hugin" and "360x180" using the phpflickr class [1]. As you cans see in the preview [2], it is intended to substitute the current header in the Hugin's website. The script gets an array of 100 photos tagged with hugin and 360x180, then randomly selects one of 100, check for the ratio to be 2:1 and for the height to be 250 px (Medium size from flickr) and finally sets the selected photo as a x-repeated background. Over the background it also adds the title and author linked respectively to the photo's and author's page. I also would like to rework the layout and graphics of the website (in the long period) so I'm here to ask a way to experiment with the website without braking the actual one. Do I have to create a branch? is there a kind of beta repo for the website where I could work? While in the process I would also like to make the website translatable via gettext. I've never done this before so I will try to learn it during the process. I'm pretty new to php, css, and html but I've already a first experience: I've reworked the GnuCash website. To see what I've achieved for that project, take a look at the original website [3] and to my version [4]. Any help or comments is highly appreciated.
