http://qpid.2158936.n2.nabble.com/Website-update-tt7590444.html
Head version:
http://people.apache.org/~jross/transom/head/
Changes:
- Added selectors to cpp broker features
- Added link to maven snapshot repo
- Switched to using .htaccess for redirects
- Simplified the steps to publish changes
- Some scripting changes to adapt to using svnpubsub
- Removed logo so it can be taken as a distinct question
- Added highlighting of page-internal headings when linked
- Added bug and enhancement queries for each component
- Streamlined tab navigation on the search page
This update doesn't represent as big a change as past updates.
Instead, I'm closing things down in preparation for going live with
the new site. I will start a vote thread on that question shortly.
Nonetheless, I will continue publishing updates as I've done. Please
keep your comments and ideas coming.
Thanks!
Justin

I see the same on Vista w/ IE8. Additionally, when I click on the "5.1.2" entry in the TOC (since that was the section everyone was looking at) the heading is above the viewable area so you can't tell you landed at the correct section.
Win7 and IE10 is fine on both counts.

Re: Website update 6
Posted by Justin Ross <ju...@gmail.com>.
I made an update to the event handling code that has fixed the jira
lookup on IE 8 in my testing.
For the curious: I've also root caused the "links on new lines"
problem. IE 8 renders the site xml as html. Normally that's fine,
but docbook uses empty anchor tags as link targets. When I xmlize the
docbook output, it converts <this></this> to <this/>, and IE thinks
<this/> is an unclosed open tag. I'm currently trying to coax my
xmlizer into leaving it as <this></this>.
I think this may also causing the problem that Steve saw.

Indeed! Thanks Justin. Having tried out the "transom" project that
backs this website, I believe it will be very easy to keep this site
fresh and relevant.

I don't think we need any more voting for this. I'm going to close
the vote I already started today. I'm just finishing up some IE

I'll be ready to cut over tomorrow.

Is there any reason not to go live with the new site? It seems to me
that it is superior in all aspects to the old one. Furthermore, it is
very easy to update so we can address broken links and other issues
easily once it's live.
Do we need a vote to do this?

I have taken another look in IE8 and the site/docs is now much more usable
with the headings updated (I did just notice that the JIRA lookup field
also doesn't work though). It obviously doesn't look as nice as with newer
browsers but it is now basically no more difficult to use than the current
site is for users of old broswers, so I would now be happy for it to be
live while working on further improvement.

I've introduced better contrast between the body and heading text on
IE now. I have not, however, been able to figure out the problem with

I'm not sure if we are seeing different things, or just disagree on how
well the documentation works when using IE8.
This is what I see for the Java broker docbook content when using IE8 and
Firefox
http://people.apache.org/~robbie/qpid/website/2ndJuly2013/java_broker_book-ie8.png
http://people.apache.org/~robbie/qpid/website/2ndJuly2013/java_broker_book-ff.png
Is this what you get? The content being in a bolder and larger font than
when using Firefox is a little annoying but obviously survivable, however
that it also dwarfs the headings is more of an issue and for me makes the
documentation significantly more difficult to use. Although annoying, I can
overlook the links magically dropping on to new lines (it doesnt seem to do
it all of the time, so that might even be an issue with the docbook source).
The headings not being prominent also seems to be an issue in other areas,
though in a different way than within the docbook content, e.g:
Homepage:
http://people.apache.org/~robbie/qpid/website/2ndJuly2013/home-ie8.png
http://people.apache.org/~robbie/qpid/website/2ndJuly2013/home-ff.png

http://people.apache.org/~robbie/qpid/website/2ndJuly2013/documentation-ie8.png
http://people.apache.org/~robbie/qpid/website/2ndJuly2013/documentation-ff.png
I am not suggesting that we need to have anything like parity with the
modern browsers, but I do think we should ensure the new site doesnt seem
actively hostile to those still stuck on older browsers like IE8 (which is
unfortunately still a lot of people).

I've fixed the javascript error. My testing (on IE8 on XP) shows the
layout and styling working properly, with the exception of things that
only newer browsers support, such as font loading and rounded borders.

This is fixed.

I gave it another look in IE8 and the site now renders, though it does so
with an error indicated and much of the styling for headings, navigation
highlighting, column layouts, fonts etc doesn't seem to be as intended.
In particular it is complaining about an object not having a method at Line
188 char 1 of site.js, which seems to be: window.addEventListener("load",
registerEventListeners, false);
It's usable in a pinch but can be quite hard to follow, particularly for
the documentation etc.
I also just noticed that the search image in the top right and the Apache
feather image in the footer navigation gets a blue border in IE (8 and 10,
which seems to otherwise match Firefox 21).

I believe I've got this fixed now. I removed the standard template's
xml declaration. (It's still all xhtml). I used browsershots.org to
render the page on many browser versions, since I don't have access to
a windows machine today. With the latest change, it seems to render
well enough all the way back to IE6.

I've added an attempted fix, a meta header that the internet says may
have a positive effect. Unfortunately, right now I don't have access
to IE8; I can try to install it tomorrow. Could you give the head
site another try and let me know if there's any change?

I mistakenly thought it was in the broker jar. I've corrected it now
to point at the qpid-java-$version artifact, since that's the one
place I found it, apart from the big source distro.

Hi Justin,
I had a quick lookand noticed a few issues:
The site can't be used at all in IE8 as it loads up in XML view. This seems
like a blocker to me, as IE8 is apparently still one of the most used
browsers.
The JCA download link on
http://people.apache.org/~jross/transom/head/download.html is pointing at
the Java broker archive.
Some of the Features links are broken on the Java broker component page:
http://people.apache.org/~jross/transom/head/components/java-broker/index.html
The download links on the newer individual release pages (e.g
http://people.apache.org/~jross/transom/head/releases/qpid-0.22/index.htmland
http://people.apache.org/~jross/transom/head/releases/qpid-proton-0.4/index.html)
are linking directly to www.apache.org/dist instead of using the mirror
system like the main download page does.
