welcome! A couple of important notes:
- I've largely dropped references to Subversion altogether, even knowing that
php-doc hasn't migrated yet. We may need to put a few more "Git/SVN account"
references in there if php-doc isn't going to be migrated in the near future.
- I've removed the quick start hints from git-php.php after an account request
has been sent in. The documentation there was pretty skimpy anyway and
probably wouldn't have been enough to get a developer going, plus it's harder
to distill the Git workflow into three or four snappy commands and I'm not
really convinced that a form confirmation page is the right place to have
learning materials, since it's a one-time page for most users. Instead I've
replaced them with links to the relevant Wiki pages, which seem more likely
to be the right place for new developers to learn.
News post to come, but I wanted to separate this out for easier review.
Elephpant images are pulled from flickr via the php-master server hourly.
The web site now provides a simple PHP script to serve a random sampling
of these images in JSON format.
The web browser now loads the elephpant images via JavaScript, requesting
only the number of images that are required to fill the viewport. Images
are inserted into the page using the data URI scheme. This ensures that
only one http request is needed to load all of the required images.
If the browser window resizes, the JavaScript will fetch additional images
as required to fill out the viewport again. There is a slight delay built
in (250ms) to avoid excessive requests while the window is being resized.
Some browsers (e.g. older versions of MSIE) do not support the data URI
scheme. For these browsers we may wish to provide a fallback mechanism of
aggregating the images (e.g. MHTML, aka MIME HTML).
If the images fail to load, the elephant banner is hidden automatically.
correctly if the browser window was too small. Now we fix the width of
the main content area to 960px and center it in the page.
Made the announcement text slightly bigger.
Note the current page is now set as a class on the body tag so that we
can better target styles for specific pages.
look and layout of the home page mockup, not the functionality. We still
need to flesh out the footer, replace placeholder text and make content
dynamic in places (e.g. elephpants, announcements, news, conferences,
user groups, etc.)
isn't intended to be the final version of this, and I'd love someone else to
make it pretty -- for now, all I've done is set it apart a touch from the news
feed.
background hack out to a separate workarounds stylesheet, and use Remy Sharp's
HTML5 shim to enable IE support for HTML5 elements rather than declaring them
ad hoc in the header.
File sizes have been removed temporarily because they're not in version.inc at
the moment; it would be simple enough to add them, but I need to follow up with
our RMs to make sure I'm not making their lives harder by requiring it.
an experimental design and not the actual live site. Barring major changes to
the structure of header.inc, with any luck this commit should be able to be
reverted whole to get rid of this before deploying to live.
(auto-expanded) mega drop-down as per mock-up sent to the mailing list.
The top-portion of the mock-up was generally well received. The lower-portion
needs additional work. This change only commits the top portion. Some minor
changes were made to incorporate feedback and tidy things up.
index.php to pass 'current' => 'home' when calling the header. Updated
header.inc to set the current class on the logo when on the home page.
Adjusted CSS rules to apply the darker bottom border to the logo.
Made the mega drop-down background color a touch lighter.
- Remove outdated workaround for 'current menu item'
- Disable static.php.net (unsure what stuff is actually there, and why)
- Add back meta navigation links for documentations
This should provide a better (more solid) user experience and allows us to
remove the hover intent plugin. All third-party JS is now loaded via CDN.
Previously the menu faded in/out, now it slides up/down pushing page content
out of the way. Additionally, restyled the menu container so that it spans
the full width of the page (menu contents are still constrained to ~960px).
The menu now has a high-impact dark-grey background with off-white text.
Split the community menu into four columns of links instead of three.
Removed some inline styles from header.inc. Tweaked news_toc() to support
an optional $sections argument that allows the caller to specify which
sections it wants rendered.
Removed shade.png as it is no longer used. The only graphic used by the new
layout is now sprites.png.
to jQuery 1.4.4 and the inclusion of jQuery UI 1.8.7 (both linked to Google's
Ajax APIs CDN) as the auto-complete plugin has been rolled into the standard
jQuery UI library.
We now supply a source callback function to the auto-complete plugin (instead
of a JS array). This callback mimics the quick-ref logic for ranking manual
pages based on where the user's search term appears in the name of the doc
entry. However, it lacks the similar_text() component since that function is
not available in JS (doesn't seem like a significant loss).
Tweaked auto-complete related CSS rules to accommodate different markup
produced by the new version of the auto-complete plugin.
