Flex showcase
Hi,
I would like to start working on Flex showcase : https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33907
This is how I intend to proceed:
1) Find a place on the web site home page to host the showcase link.
- Desktop App / Mobile Apps boxes on the home page lead to the same content, so that can be merged, IMO
- Put the "showcase" section in place on the mobile section (3rd box)
- The "showcase" box will include a "showcase" icon (I will design it), a link to the future "Tour De Flex" and a link to the showcase page.
2) Showcase page:
Plan: start with a very simple structure, and improve / extend it as the number of show case item increases (and as time allows)
a) The initial structure will be plain html / CMS content
- List-based showcase items
- Date of submission
- Title
- Description
- Flex version/platform used
- Company/author web link
- Screenshot if provided
- Live Demo and/or Video link if provided
b) Eventually, the showcase app could become a flex app itself, or be embedded in Tour de Flex. That would allow to add the following features:
- graphical navigation in show cases (mosaic, cover flow, etc.)
- Ability to submit directly showcase apps
- Rating / starring / voting by peers
=> See for example: http://www.silverlightshow.net/Showcase.aspx
3) Lists of apps that have been already submitted:
FLEX-33673 Showcase TrafficLIVE AIR Application
FLEX-33691 Showcase - My Dojo for Dota 2
FLEX-33828 Showcase bCommunities - Secure B2B Collaboration
4) Questions:
Can I start now, or is it better to wait until TDF and ADC are donated, so that we can make all the changes in one shots
WDYT?

Also, is there any preferred authoring tool for working on the pages, or any html-enabled editor will do ?

I would like some advice before starting working on the showcase:
- What is the CMS software used for the web site (files with .cmsPage extension)? links to documentation ?
- do you think the show case pages should be static content ?
Thanks
Maurice

Hi Om,
I think I got a little bit overwhelmed :-)
I will start working on it next week and I will certainly need help / advice once I get started.

If you use our normal extension, jquery is included. It should be easy enough to add that in there.

Actually, there is already "fancybox" included which is another LightBox for jQuery.
I will use that one.

Unless there is something restrictive about the Brazilian version, I think it should be ok. Find a version in a language you understand so you are clear on what attributions are required.

It looks good. My only suggestion would be to capitalize each of the bullet points in the "Want to see your app showcased here" section to be consistent with the rest of our site. Also, remove the errant commas at the end of some of the bullets.

It looks good. My only suggestion would be to capitalize each of the
bullet points in the "Want to see your app showcased here" section to be

the end of some of the bullets.

Update status:
- set feature box min-height to 370px in home page
- Flex Showcase updated with all the applications submitted so far , that had enough information:
bCommunities, Goal Manager, My Dojo, Traffic Live, VeraType.
Online Designer Tool pending info.
- Added lightbox feature for preview
Please review:
http://flex.staging.apache.org/index.html
then click in showcase
You can click on images previews for lightbox.
If you are ok, I will publish to the live site.
-------
Implementation notes:
All the content is generated in javascript + css, so that it's easy to maintain and add new entries.
For example, this is the entry for Goal Manager:
addShowcaseEntry({
title: "Goal Manager",
description: "Football Manager App for iOs and Android ",
author: "Christian Kiefer",
website: "http://www.goal-games.de/",
links: ["iTunes","https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/goal-manager/id575222774?mt=8&affId=1881396&ign-mpt=uo%3D4",
"Google Play", "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.de.goalgames.GoalManagerCH&hl=de"] ,
imgDir: "Goal",
images: [ "Finanzen.jpg" , "Liga.jpg", "Taktik.jpg"]
});
I will document later how to add new entries.

Yes, good idea.

Subject: RE: Flex showcase
I have committed a first draft of the showcase on the staging web site, with the modifications described in initial first email.
This is WIP.
http://flex.staging.apache.org/index.html
- added "flex showcase" item to "Community" menu.
- merged Desktop / Mobile "feature box" (text and icon)
- added new "Flex Showcase" feature box + tentative text
- Added new Flex showcase page (work in progress)
- instructions for submission
- the 5 Apps submitted so far ( WIP)
Notes:
- the merged text for Destkop / Mobile is too long, IMO. Now the boxes seem even more unbalanced.
- I did my best to merge the mobile and desktop icons. Feel free to change it.
- the text for Flex Showcase needs to be reworked / rewritten by English + Marketing native writer ;-)
- jQuery lightbox (for showing the screenshots in full screen) is not yet implemented.
- only 2 apps are detailed (waiting for your feedback to complete the others)
Your comments / feedback more than welcome.

Maurice

Actually, the lightbox is a jquery extension, and there are many implementations.
One commonly used is by Leandro Vieira:
http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/
It's licenced under CC by SA 2.5 Brazil License (should be the same as Intl Licence ?)
Can I use it in the web site ?
(which means importing the js, css and images, and maybe putting some licence notice somewhere)

RE: Flex showcase
Posted by Maurice Amsellem <ma...@systar.com>.
Comments / rating is rather usual feature in sites that list submitted things (apps, themes, ...) .
But as you said, managing the comments / rating would require more infrastructure (DB, real server back-end, etc...) plus the spamming thing to control.
So probably not feasible...

I'd rather not get into the comments / rating thing. *.apache.org is a pretty huge target for spammers and we shouoldn't have to make it somebody's full time job to scrape all those -- esp. if they are tied to some business which may then want to leave the showcase because of negative or spammy comments. Plus the whole DB thing.
I'm in support of a Flex app pulling in a static XML document that would be easy to update.

Ok, so flex app loading an xml list from the server. So the last part is really about how to organize the data on the server. Folder for each app in the showcase with a pics and another xml file that has the detail description with the pic file listing.

I am not sure we could have BlazeDS equivalent on the apache web site.
So maybe text data (info on apps) could be stored in a simple xml file. Even with hundreds of apps it shouldn't be that large.
And the images (screenshots) would be available as static resources, as it is today, and loaded on demand by the flex app.
AFAIK, javascript can also parse remote XML files, so data storage would be independent of the implementation (js or flex).
WDYT?

This is true. The extra benefit of having the subfolder xml's will be able to see the hits on each app view using just the website stats we have now.

Changed the current javascript implementation to use a remote xml index file, and a set of images.
( jQuery ajax and XML DOM parsing).
So now it's "ready-for-flex" ;-)
BTW, the submitted apps are really nice, all of them.
Collective congratz to the developers.

There's at least one there I know that's not using Apache Flex - hopefully being there will be incentive to upgrade.

RE: Flex showcase
Posted by Maurice Amsellem <ma...@systar.com>.
"silence gives consent" ;-)
Should I go ahead and publish , and wait some more?

Objet : RE: Flex showcase
Update status:
- set feature box min-height to 370px in home page
- Flex Showcase updated with all the applications submitted so far , that had enough information:
bCommunities, Goal Manager, My Dojo, Traffic Live, VeraType.
Online Designer Tool pending info.
- Added lightbox feature for preview
Please review:
http://flex.staging.apache.org/index.html
then click in showcase
You can click on images previews for lightbox.
If you are ok, I will publish to the live site.
-------
Implementation notes:
All the content is generated in javascript + css, so that it's easy to maintain and add new entries.
For example, this is the entry for Goal Manager:
addShowcaseEntry({
title: "Goal Manager",
description: "Football Manager App for iOs and Android ",
author: "Christian Kiefer",
website: "http://www.goal-games.de/",
links: ["iTunes","https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/goal-manager/id575222774?mt=8&affId=1881396&ign-mpt=uo%3D4",
"Google Play", "https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.de.goalgames.GoalManagerCH&hl=de"] ,
imgDir: "Goal",
images: [ "Finanzen.jpg" , "Liga.jpg", "Taktik.jpg"]
});
I will document later how to add new entries.

Yes, good idea.
I tried already adding height="100%" but didn't work.
I will look for another way of doing it.

Subject: RE: Flex showcase
I have committed a first draft of the showcase on the staging web site, with the modifications described in initial first email.
This is WIP.
http://flex.staging.apache.org/index.html
- added "flex showcase" item to "Community" menu.
- merged Desktop / Mobile "feature box" (text and icon)
- added new "Flex Showcase" feature box + tentative text
- Added new Flex showcase page (work in progress)
- instructions for submission
- the 5 Apps submitted so far ( WIP)
Notes:
- the merged text for Destkop / Mobile is too long, IMO. Now the boxes seem even more unbalanced.
- I did my best to merge the mobile and desktop icons. Feel free to change it.
- the text for Flex Showcase needs to be reworked / rewritten by English + Marketing native writer ;-)
- jQuery lightbox (for showing the screenshots in full screen) is not yet implemented.
- only 2 apps are detailed (waiting for your feedback to complete the others)
Your comments / feedback more than welcome.
Regards,
Maurice

Actually, the lightbox is a jquery extension, and there are many implementations.
One commonly used is by Leandro Vieira:
http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/
It's licenced under CC by SA 2.5 Brazil License (should be the same as Intl Licence ?)
Can I use it in the web site ?
(which means importing the js, css and images, and maybe putting some licence notice somewhere)

Yes, good idea.
I tried already adding height="100%" but didn't work.

I have committed a first draft of the showcase on the staging web site, with the modifications described in initial first email.
This is WIP.
http://flex.staging.apache.org/index.html
- added "flex showcase" item to "Community" menu.
- merged Desktop / Mobile "feature box" (text and icon)
- added new "Flex Showcase" feature box + tentative text
- Added new Flex showcase page (work in progress)
- instructions for submission
- the 5 Apps submitted so far ( WIP)
Notes:
- the merged text for Destkop / Mobile is too long, IMO. Now the boxes seem even more unbalanced.
- I did my best to merge the mobile and desktop icons. Feel free to change it.
- the text for Flex Showcase needs to be reworked / rewritten by English + Marketing native writer ;-)
- jQuery lightbox (for showing the screenshots in full screen) is not yet implemented.
- only 2 apps are detailed (waiting for your feedback to complete the others)
Your comments / feedback more than welcome.
Regards,
Maurice

Actually, the lightbox is a jquery extension, and there are many implementations.
One commonly used is by Leandro Vieira:
http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/
It's licenced under CC by SA 2.5 Brazil License (should be the same as Intl Licence ?)
Can I use it in the web site ?
(which means importing the js, css and images, and maybe putting some licence notice somewhere)

Yes, good idea.
I tried already adding height="100%" but didn't work.
I will look for another way of doing it.

I have committed a first draft of the showcase on the staging web site, with the modifications described in initial first email.
This is WIP.
http://flex.staging.apache.org/index.html
- added "flex showcase" item to "Community" menu.
- merged Desktop / Mobile "feature box" (text and icon)
- added new "Flex Showcase" feature box + tentative text
- Added new Flex showcase page (work in progress)
- instructions for submission
- the 5 Apps submitted so far ( WIP)
Notes:
- the merged text for Destkop / Mobile is too long, IMO. Now the boxes seem even more unbalanced.
- I did my best to merge the mobile and desktop icons. Feel free to change it.
- the text for Flex Showcase needs to be reworked / rewritten by English + Marketing native writer ;-)
- jQuery lightbox (for showing the screenshots in full screen) is not yet implemented.
- only 2 apps are detailed (waiting for your feedback to complete the others)
Your comments / feedback more than welcome.

Maurice

Actually, the lightbox is a jquery extension, and there are many implementations.
One commonly used is by Leandro Vieira:
http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/
It's licenced under CC by SA 2.5 Brazil License (should be the same as Intl Licence ?)
Can I use it in the web site ?
(which means importing the js, css and images, and maybe putting some licence notice somewhere)

Could try to increase the height to fill space. Meaning the box borders would be the same height but the contents variable.

RE: Flex showcase
Posted by Maurice Amsellem <ma...@systar.com>.
Thanks Rafael,
The submission procedure (not published yet) is the following:
- create a "Task" ticket on https://issues.apache.org/jira, under the Component "Showcase",
- include a title and brief description (5 lines max). More detailed information can be in your web site.
- indicate the author or company name, if different from the ticket submitter name,
- include links to your web site and videos, if available,
- attach screen shots (up to 3) of your application, in jpeg or png format.
(To speed up the process, (and make our life easier ;-) , you can include the screen shots in two sizes: 300px high (for the preview), and full size)
The Flex showcase will be public very soon, and it will include your app as soon as you provide the information above.
Best regards,
Maurice

We also develop in flex.
You can add metacerta.com as an example in the showcase... It is a Finance
Management system for businesses in Brazil.... I can also send you some

RE: Flex showcase
Posted by Maurice Amsellem <ma...@systar.com>.
I have committed a first draft of the showcase on the staging web site, with the modifications described in initial first email.
This is WIP.
http://flex.staging.apache.org/index.html
- added "flex showcase" item to "Community" menu.
- merged Desktop / Mobile "feature box" (text and icon)
- added new "Flex Showcase" feature box + tentative text
- Added new Flex showcase page (work in progress)
- instructions for submission
- the 5 Apps submitted so far ( WIP)
Notes:
- the merged text for Destkop / Mobile is too long, IMO. Now the boxes seem even more unbalanced.
- I did my best to merge the mobile and desktop icons. Feel free to change it.
- the text for Flex Showcase needs to be reworked / rewritten by English + Marketing native writer ;-)
- jQuery lightbox (for showing the screenshots in full screen) is not yet implemented.
- only 2 apps are detailed (waiting for your feedback to complete the others)
Your comments / feedback more than welcome.
Regards,
Maurice

Actually, the lightbox is a jquery extension, and there are many implementations.
One commonly used is by Leandro Vieira:
http://leandrovieira.com/projects/jquery/lightbox/
It's licenced under CC by SA 2.5 Brazil License (should be the same as Intl Licence ?)
Can I use it in the web site ?
(which means importing the js, css and images, and maybe putting some licence notice somewhere)

Hi,
Is there a function in the CMS to display a zoomed image with a close "X" button, ( similar to jQuery Lightbox) ?

The CMS is apache's own. It is essentially a parser for mdtext. No special functions are available -- no server side coding, no database connectivity.
We are not allowed to use anything else.

I wouldn't worry too much about the django cms. It's pretty far off from what we use. You can read more about how we deployed the Apache CMS on our wiki at

* I understand mdText is MarkDown ML, right ?
* I found the following after googling "Apache CMS":
https://www.apache.org/dev/cmsref.html
Are there other documentation links?
* It also says it's inspired from "django".
Is It worth reading the "django" docs (http://docs.django-cms.org/)

RE: Flex showcase
Posted by Maurice Amsellem <ma...@systar.com>.
I would like some advice before starting working on the showcase:
- What is the CMS software used for the web site (files with .cmsPage extension)? links to documentation ?
- do you think the show case pages should be static content ?
Thanks
Maurice

Hi Om,
I think I got a little bit overwhelmed :-)
I will start working on it next week and I will certainly need help / advice once I get started.

Hi,
I added a relation to the GoalManager (list of apps)... Is that okay for
you?

Re: Flex showcase
Posted by Mark Kessler <ke...@gmail.com>.
It might be ok to start after waiting for some feedback. Weekends are a
little slower, and more so in the US here since it's a holiday weekend.
I bet after it's up and running you will start getting progressively more
apps to be added. Might even need a way to organize them or search through
them at some point down the road.
Some random thoughts from me.
-Site address something simple like... flex.apache.org/showcase
-I don't think we should replace the desktop/mobile images, but I think
those two could be combined, since they lead to the same features page. We
could however add in a showcase tile on it's own.
-I like the idea of tiling each app like we have done several places in the
site.
-We probably don't want the date of submission visible. I wouldn't want
sometime down the road if we haven't updated it in a while for it all look
old by perception with the dates.
-I like the idea of the showcase app / tour de flex add on. Not sure what
we are allowed to have in the way of data being submitted back to the
website however.

I think there may be more offerings in email threads. If you have the
time, you might prod those folks to submit JIRA issues.

IMO, start now. TDF and ADC will need massaging before they are ready.
Thanks for doing it.
