Re: [phoenix-dev] EclipseCon Promotion on the Homepage
Done for all modeling homepages (and GEF, too) which use _projectCommon.php

BTW, to set up a mirror of eclipse.org (eg., on a build server) you now need to check out www/home into your webserver's root, or you get two lines of text instead of the banner. If the path to the images was absolute (http://www.eclipse.org/home/...) instead of relative (/home/...) then this would mirror more easily w/o needing more stuff checked out. Not a big deal, just thought I'd mention it as FYI.

After the con is over, will the banner just disappear? Will it change into something new (and hopefully narrower) to advertise the next event? Or will I have to manullay remove it?

Great Idea Nick!

 

Here's what I've done.   Instead of creating a new skin I've added a new parameter to $App. 

 

$App->Promotion = TRUE;

 

Its pretty simple to use. You'll need to call it before you call $App->generatePage(…);   As a nice side effect if you put the code into _projectCommon.php file it should enable it for all your pages recursively in a given directory.

 

I've commited the changes necessary to make this happen to phoenix.eclipse.org.

 

Changes include app.class.php and promotion.php (/e.o-c/themes/phoenix/promotion.php)

 

I'd like to make this live ASAP.  I'll let the list know when this is actually enabled on the live site.

Nathan:

+1!

Could this be rolled out as a new skin, "eclipsecon", so that I could apply it to all the Modeling Project sites? Seems much more eyecatching and effective than just posting one of these up on the sites:

Afternoon,

 

I've put together a mockup of a version of the homepage designed to promote EclipseCon registration.

 

You can view the page here:  http://www.eclipse.org/home/index_con.php

 

Since this is a major change to the Eclipse.org homepage I'm looking for 3 +1's before promoting this change to live.
