Hey Jeff,
Thanks again for spending some time on IRC recently. I've spent a bit
more time on this, and have developed a few questions I hope you can answer.
First, one of the things I've been struggling with was getting the style
applied to the homepage. After trying a number of misguided things, I
actually looked at $sitehome/en-US/index.html and found this:
$('#splash').load("https://admin.fedoraproject.org/docs-backend//en-US/splash.html
.article");
The main copy on the page is loaded by this function, and of course it
strips the <head> out - so no CSS comes with.
FYI we did this because loading the second header in to the page had
some very weird effects on some browsers.
What we *do* get is:
- chrome.css
- site_overrides.css
- splash.css
With your help, site_overrides.css is coming from the docsite-publican
(home) package now. The other two files I had to manually copy in from
/usr/share/publican, and if I recall correctly, I ended up copying over
all of /usr/share/publican/sitetemplate/ . - Is there an RPM method for
doing this?
sitetemplate gets copied over whenever you run "publican update_site".
The CSS files that aren't coming along are:
- db4.css
- brand.css
- print.css
This doesn't seem right. The home page should have the branding,
right?
Is a custom site template needed here?
No, db4.css & print.css also get put in place by running update_site.
brand.css was removed and should not be being required.
Are you using publican from the devel git branch? I did do some changes
to get the shiny happening, but I'm fresh back from holidays and can't
recall everything I did specifically for this :}
Cheers, Jeff.
