Hello from the new Haiku website!

I did not place that break! Maybe someone did it when editing to promote the article to the front page? Usually I let drupal decide how to handle things.

Anyway, I’m fairly sure it was before, not after the title. Maybe some bug in the drupal export moved it? In the UEFI blog post from jessicah there also was a youtube video embedded before the break, which seems to be gone.

No, the exporter exported content exactly as Drupal had it, so someone must’ve manually placed it. Hugo can also generate summaries automatically, if you leave out the “more” comment.

For what it’s worth, I placed the break when promoting it (otherwise the entire post is shown verbatim on the front page, Drupal didn’t in any way automate this). However, I placed it above User Interface, not below, and it was correctly displaying on the old site.

Congrats everybody and keep up :slight_smile:

Oh, how about that, it is before the “User Interface”: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/haiku/website/master/content/blog/pulkomandy/2017-01-06_haiku_monthly_activity_report_122016.md

Looks like Hugo processes breaks incorrectly. I suppose I should file a ticket.

People can submit content via pull requests to the website’s github. See https://discuss.haiku-os.org/t/reviving-the-community/4915/6 with the example of a blog post.

I think that the note “This is a companion discussion topic…” shown at the bottom of a blog post here works rather well.

One thing - all of the old discussions which were previously attached to the blog posts on the Haiku website are now missing.

I remember that some of them were technical in nature and quite informative for anyone considering developing applications for Haiku. It is hoped that they have been archived before the website transition and eventually could be accessed as “documentation/reference” material?

Since there is no link back to haiku-os.org from the forum page, maybe we should open the forum in a new tab:

<a href="http://discus.haiku-os.org" target="_blank">

Yes there is. See the bottom of the original post:

Yes, they’ll eventually be imported here. @kallisti5 is working on it.

Are you kidding?

The new website
https://www.haiku-os.org/
looks exactly like the old website

But hey, it is new.
So, congats to your new website and the nice design.

Yes, as the post said, it’s almost entirely an under-the-hood change. The design and content are still the same, but everything else is different. We might change the design at some point – suggestions accepted…

from https://discuss.haiku-os.org thgere is no link to https://www.haiku-os.org/

@waddlesplash, see also Add icon to lead you back to the main website

It works, it works! So nice to see forum replies under posts.

But please place links to forum, trac and cgit on top too.
And block with forum latest threads can find his place on page like blogs and news found.

Also I’m sending rays of rage to guys who still bind pages to fixed resolutions.
And don’t tell me that in 2017 percentages and relative measurements on page are prohibited.

This was only the first part of the migration. We have a new backend technology for the website, which makes it easier to change and improve the design.
The next step is, of course, actually changing the design.

Note that the page is not fixed anymore, it only has a maximum width, which is a nice thing for reading, but we may make it a bit larger by default.

Integrating with trac, cgit, forum, API reference, etc would be nice, but it needs deeper changes to the website organization because it conflicts a bit with the existing top-level categories (community <> forum, development <> trac + cgit, documents <> API reference, etc). It will take some time to come up with a clean solution. We also try to not move things too much in order to keep external links to our website working.

Is there a Search field anwhere on the new site? Maybe I’m not looking properly or have the wrong browser, but I can’t find one.

There’s still a search box on the website in the same place the old one was. Looks like the search icon is broken on WebPositive – I should probably fix that. (It just uses Google now for searching.)

Hah! Actually I was using Bezilla at the time, and I definitely don’t see it there. I_do _ see it in Web+, though, and in QupZilla – and even in NetPositive!

The Ticket Updates and Mailing List tabs never populate, I get a circling arrow for ever.
