Summary | 0011716: Your Blog doesn't link to your main page | ||||
Description | http://www.mantisbt.org/blog/ has no link to get to http://www.mantisbt.org/ easily My idea: A navigation bar at the top would be fine. | ||||
Tags | No tags attached. | ||||
have you got any wordpress customization skills? I think we would love to make it more uniform with mantisbt.org main site and fix this issue at the same time |
|
I ran some wordpress pages for friends so I know a little about administration and theming. Do you use an CMS for mantisbt.org? How can I help? |
|
The site is just a bunch of custom built pages; it's all in our public git repository here: http://git.mantisbt.org/?p=mantisbt-web.git;a=tree so you should be able to grab from there the HTML/CSS code we are using and port it (I mostly mean the header/footer/color scheme part) to a wordpress theme. Thanks for consider contributing! |
|
I had a quick overview about it! I have another idea:

I spend an hour to create a draft: http://mantis.rakekniven.de/ What benefits you get:

ok .. I will wait for your response before spending more time on it. Cheers. |

I think that's a bit overkill for what we are doing today in the website, but I'll let other developers/admins chime in to decide what to do. In the meanwhile, if you find a simple way to fix the present issue in the WP installation, feel free to ping me. |
|
Ok. After many years of contributing to KDE my main wish was to use a CMS. GIT/SVN are not the best way to maintain a nice website. They keep a page static and slow maintained. A CMS helps you to use functions which are already done and ready to use instead of building them yourself within many hours. For WP I cannot provide a solution without digging into WP theming. I love drupal and know it a little ;-) Cheers |

@rakekniven, thumbs up on http://mantis.rakekniven.de/ i like the direction |

We are already have some dynamic aspects of the website like the blog/wiki, which we haven't been updating very often. So I'm not very optimistic that the website will be super dynamic once we deploy a tool like Drupal. I feel like we will end up having to maintain and patch yet another tool. It is also not clear to me whether Drupal will integrate Word Press or replace it with its own blogging engine. Also I don't believe we would be interested in a blog per dev, given the frequency we are updating the common one at the moment. I think we need consolidation of useful data to our customers. Just out of interest, does Drupal offer a good option from having one consolidated environment that achieves the following:
This will give us one platform or even if we still use the standalone tools but integrate them into a CMS like Drupal, then we at least get single-sign-on. |

Drupal will not integrate wordpress. It has a very nice content engine which also provides blogging function. It handles content types e.g. before entering new content you have to select the type like page, story, blog, poll ... Drupal has no powerful wiki function like mediawiki or dokuwiki. As mentionened above I would offer my help for maintenance. |
|
My basic issue "http://www.mantisbt.org/blog/ has no link to get to http://www.mantisbt.org/ easily" is still open. |
|
Fixed. You can now link to http://www.mantisbt.org/ by clicking the blog's title, and go to the blog's home by using the eponymous menu item. While I was at it, I also added a link to the bugtracker. |
