| Volans | newz2000: Hi, take a look at bug 270876 . Should we do anything about it? (how much is important IE6 rendering?) | 14:34 |
|---|---|---|
| ubot3 | Malone bug 270876 in ubuntu-website "page borders not rendered correctly on IE6" [Undecided,New] https://launchpad.net/bugs/270876 | 14:34 |
| newz2000 | Hi Volans. This bug doesn't bother me but the related bug reported about a week ago does. | 14:34 |
| newz2000 | blank screen in IE | 14:34 |
| newz2000 | so I plan to fix them both before intrepid releases by converting the ubuntu08 theme to a drupal theme | 14:35 |
| Volans | oh, maybe I have missed the first bug | 14:35 |
| newz2000 | I don't know if it was reported as a bug, it was mentioned in here | 14:35 |
| Volans | ok, in any case, good news to make a drupal theme | 14:35 |
| qense | hello | 15:36 |
| newz2000 | hola! | 15:47 |
| Volans | newz2000: I have made some tests for the help link | 22:12 |
| newz2000 | Volans: oh? | 22:12 |
| Volans | firefox have already a gnome-help handler | 22:12 |
| Volans | a link like <a href="ghelp:internet">test</a> will open the Internet page in the help menu | 22:13 |
| Volans | I don' have tested *ubuntu yet, so I don't know if this solution can work also there | 22:13 |
| * newz2000 tries | 22:14 | |
| newz2000 | it works, though that's not the ideal page | 22:14 |
| newz2000 | that's a table of contents, better would be the "Connect to the Internet" page I think | 22:14 |
| Volans | use ghelp:internet#connect instead | 22:15 |
| newz2000 | that worked | 22:16 |
| newz2000 | it pops up a box, "what program do you want to use to open this?" and lists only gnome help | 22:16 |
| Volans | yes, I don't know if is possible from the package to avoid the popup | 22:17 |
| Volans | and open directly the help | 22:17 |
| Volans | by the way I see another problem... the offline pages in firefox are many | 22:18 |
| Volans | so I think can be difficult to cover all teh possible cases | 22:18 |
| newz2000 | yes, true | 22:18 |
| newz2000 | but that's not our job, our job is to communicate clearly to the user that they are not online | 22:19 |
| newz2000 | help them if we can, but at least communicate clearly | 22:19 |
| Erik_J | newz2000, why doesn't ubuntu.com support IE6 good? | 22:27 |
| Erik_J | the layout is ugly and the menu is not working | 22:28 |
| newz2000 | Erik_J: it was deemed, "not too bad" when we reviewed it, but recent information has shown that it is actually bad. | 22:37 |
| newz2000 | Therefore it's my plan to migrate ubuntu.com to the same template shipit uses this month | 22:37 |
| Erik_J | ubuntu.com is using django isn't it? | 22:38 |
| newz2000 | no, it uses drupal, though webapps.ubuntu.com uses django | 22:38 |
| Erik_J | :/, I always confuse them | 22:39 |
| newz2000 | the original intention was for the webapps domain to be hidden and proxied through the ubuntu.com domain but it's gotten stalled | 22:39 |
| Erik_J | but you have to make a new django template based on the shipit template | 22:40 |
| Erik_J | ? | 22:40 |
| newz2000 | well, I'll have to make a template for drupal and django | 22:41 |
| newz2000 | it won't look drastically different than what we have now | 22:41 |
| newz2000 | it's the same template matthew east used for the help.ubuntu.com wiki | 22:41 |
| Erik_J | but better in IE6 | 22:41 |
| newz2000 | yes | 22:41 |
| Erik_J | help.ubuntu.com is still using the old layout | 22:42 |
| newz2000 | yes but the community section is a wiki and matt has created a new theme for it | 22:42 |
| Volans | sorry newz2000 I have to go now... see you later or tomorrow | 22:43 |
| newz2000 | ok | 22:43 |
| newz2000 | ttyl Volans | 22:43 |
| Erik_J | today I did one simple test on ubuntu.com. Again I was suprised. The user thought that the "Download" and "Upgrade" in the header was one button. | 22:45 |
| Erik_J | Meaning: download ubuntu upgrade | 22:45 |
| newz2000 | it's always interesting what people get stuck on | 22:45 |
| Erik_J | he used the Get ubuntu link in the left menu | 22:46 |
| Erik_J | a simple - before the words solves it I think | 22:46 |
| newz2000 | so that's why we put it there. :-) | 22:46 |
| Erik_J | time for bed, almost midnight here. Have a nice day | 22:50 |
| newz2000 | have a nice night Erik_J | 22:50 |
