An Ubuntu resource centre WordPress theme for the insights.ubuntu.com website.

blog.ubuntu.com's Issues

Write K8s services config and staging and production ingress configs for insights.ubuntu.com

Author page is missing - correct image and social links

On profile pages, the "Google +" link is wrong.

1

These links take you to the login.ubuntu.com OpenId Indentity URL of the author (I'm not sure why we would have that available to readers in the first place)

-> "Google +" takes you to https://login.ubuntu.com/+id/t3fbsM4

2

When the author doesn't have a registered OpenId login for Insights, (eg "Canonical" http://0.0.0.0:8023/author/canonical/ ), the link is still present but the href is not set (so it just takes you to the current page)

This could be because I'm running a local instance. The second part of this issue makes me assume the page is looping over a list of links. I'm not sure where the data my local instance is using is coming from and if it's complete (I used the ./run command). But in any case, there should be no link displayed when there is nothing to loop over and they should have the right label.

Update Url structure to include the category name

Marketing would like the url structure to change to include the type of category the asset being viewed belongs to. The page that houses all webinars / all articles / all case studies etc should also include the category name in the url. In this way, users can navigate the site by editing urls.

Remove square brackets from the continuation indicator

Remove the square brackets around the continuation indicator in the post description.

Continuing Insights development

Alexia's brief: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vr1ihPq8EsP1ykjIHrB0caOt2hwPiOZ39kiC2Mr7mP0/edit?ts=59d4c028#heading=h.meo0azuz09li

Hot fix vanilla heading line heights

Vanilla has an issue where the p-heafing pattern does not get the correct line height from the heading. This is apparent in the category subheadings.

Review Category pages on Insights

Article without tags have an empty "Tags:" label

When there are no tags, the "Tags:" label should not be present.
(eg. http://0.0.0.0:8023/2017/09/25/lxd-weekly-status-16/ and others)

Write Dockerfile to generate production image for release

New intro copy for topics pages

Rewrite all the intro copy texts for the topic pages. New copy is here; https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dCX2ll1iAUPFPBNg66Q5wgDYaH2l0-5rs6LK6U5VNWE/edit#

Article page, the date-of-posting is missing.

Add global search

Add search Inuit to the primary nav. Use thewp-json search engine to create the search results page.

Add custom headers to the topics pages

Each topic page currently just shows the title of the topic in the header.

The headers should be custom includes. Such as, desktop, cloud and server, etc.

Remove white space below the footer

Add "Category" menu to homepage

Once landing on the Insights homepage, we want visitors to be able to select the ‘category’ they’re interested in, so ideally both "topics" & "categories" should appear on the homepage. Also, we should consider a drop down menu from primary nav bar.

See full brief: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Vr1ihPq8EsP1ykjIHrB0caOt2hwPiOZ39kiC2Mr7mP0/edit?ts=59d4c028#heading=h.meo0azuz09li

Fix alignment in the header

The logo and links are not vertically centred, and there is a small gap at the bottom.

Create Team landing pages - design

Design the visual elements to denote "team" pages. Marketing have requested that we create landing pages for more specific categories (aka team pages). For example the 'Maas' landing page would show only Maas-tagged content.
Marketing would also like the visitor to be able to filter results by month and year.

Add team pages

Build hard coded team pages that filter the posts by the team tag and feature posts with hidden tags such as "_maas-team". Hide underscore tags from the frontend.

Teams:

• MAAS
• Snappy
• JAAS
• Landscape
• LXD
• Design?

Remove some sharing options

Remove the share functions for Instapaper.

Is the snappy image the correct one

Lets ask a designer to check that the logo is the legitimate snappy logo?

Add labels to repo

Add the teams labels to this repository.

Include RSS feed from Brighttalk

Marketing would like to create an RSS feed that sends new webinars from BrightTalk directly to Insights. By doing this, the marketing team will only need to post a new webinar to one site (ie. BrightTalk) and it will automatically appear on Insights as well.
