New subject: Reworking the donation page

18 Jul 2018

      Don't worry, I will keep you in the loop for now and there will still be plenty
to do after version one is being rolled out.
I will write an email shortly about the blog and that I cut corners :) That
needs to be sorted eventually and I am happy to get some help with that.
Best,

Great news.
I am really sorry that at the moment I can’t help, I really like the project
and I hope that in the near future I will have some time to help you again.
Greetings,
Sven

Hello *,
for the time being, I am taking over from Sven who is caught up in work and
I
really need to move forward rolling out the website as soon as possible now.
So I will keep you posted with a few updates that I am making. I am also
doing
some backend works and this is a short summary of what I did this week:

I removed the planet & news pages
I added a new backend for the blog and merged all news and

planet posts together

I added a nice full-text search :)
I cleaned up some of the backend code and this will continue

On the frontend side:

I rebased Sven's code on the latest version of Bootstrap (from 4 alpha 6

to
4.2.1)

I moved a lot of the CSS into variables and it is now dynamically compiled

from SASS to CSS when ever something is changed.

I removed loads of old pages that we no longer need as well as images (so

loads and loads of house-keeping)

I implemented the blog

For this I have loads of questions, requests and ideas for improvements
 which I will put into a separate email

I implemented the form to the donation page

I did that in a slightly different way because the popup won't work since
 we will already have a popup that encourages people to make their donation
 a recurring one - please see that as a proposal. I will also send an extra
 email about the donation page

I also tried to rework pages like the legal page. I guess I failed

terribly on
that one design-wise. So we will have to talk what we can do about the other
pages.
At the moment the site isn't online. I am installing a new web server that
will
host it for now and soon will be running the production version of it. I
will
let you know when that is online.
Best,

Hello,
I just wanted to make a request about the donation page.
Can we have a field where people can enter a comment? Some people just
write
"Thank you" and some other write what features they would like to see in
the
future and this is usually a good way to communicate that.
It could potentially go under the address input. It doesn't have to be
very
big.
Only two lines or so.
Best,

Ah cool, just found it (again :D).
Is there any progress with the implementation of that, yet?
I guess you might want to remove the <form> tag that I added again, but
I
suppose the functionality is clear through this.

Hello guys,
I continued working on the backend of the donation stuff since
contract
work
with the payment providers is soon coming to an end I would like to
be
able
to
accept donations through this as soon as possible.
So the backend work has kept me busy for weeks now and I have a
rough
version
running that sends out the right emails with SEPA mandates in PDF
forms
and
so
on...
On the frontend, this is now super easy to use and I implemented
everything
that
we need so far:
https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire.org.git;a=commitdiff;h=2c361abc1a73
d9c
7b

f8d

The huge change in donate.html is just because I added a <form> tag
and
indented
every line in the block by one tab.
All the magic happens in handlers.py. When a user clicks on the
donate
button,
we will send a request to my accounting software with all the
details
and
then
redirect the user to the right payment page. Fairly easy. So far
they
will
never
come back.
As you can see in the code, I added dummy values for the name,
address
and
some
other inputs. So far I think we don't even have designs for that
part of
the
donation form. Is that correct Maurice?
@Sven: Is the application back up and running on your development
machine?
Best,
