site in svn
January 03, 2007 at 03:55 PM | categories: site
I've put my site back in svn, this time not to keep a history (revision control isn't really tailored for websites imho), but so that it can be automatically published if i make a change. This message is mostly a test to see if it works. Since you are reading this, apparently it does.
Mailing Lists
July 30, 2006 at 11:44 PM | categories: site
I've set up some mailing lists for two of my projects, you can find them at http://jelte.nlnetlabs.nl/mailman/listinfo. (these have been decomissioned as of 2010)
Trying out yet another layout, partly to show one new feature of the upcoming version of clcms, the selected menu macro. This makes the tab style menu possible.
I have rewritten just about the complete page creation code, data based this time, it should be as good as backwards compatible, only the interface to the macro changed (it will not get a bunch of separate variables to use, but only the page the menu is for, and from that every data that is needed should be reachable).
I'll need to clean it up some more, and rewrite the documentation, but expect a 0.4 release soon.
I'm also thinking of providing some form of id to pages and items, so they can be more easily linked in-site. But i'm not sure if that will be finished for the next release.
I have been working on a new "content management" system for a few days, and it's able to create my website now, so to test it, i've moved my complete website to the generated one. The pages are in different places than before, and i have placed some redirects, but i may have missed some. So sorry in advance for that.
So if i find the time next week, I'll try to write up some documentation and do an alpha release.
To keep you interested, here are the initial design goals:
- Content is stored in a directory tree
- Adding pages (or items?) should be as easy as creating a new file and typing some lines in it.
- For default pages/items no config necessary
- No HTML or anything alike for normal usage
- All pages have their binary content (images, download files) in the directory of the page itself
- All output is static, no generating on the fly
Apart from a few pages (CV, the rr types list and Photos, i just copied those from my old site) the whole site is html-generated from a few include files. The site map page is done by a configuration-on-the-spot trick.
