# things to do for mod_perl site infrastructure Basic Layout: ------------- - NS4, if PRE is long the page is scrolled to the right! See dst_html/docs/2.0/devel/debug_c/debug_c.html#Analyzing_the_core_File STATUS: currently we try to learn to live with that by not using NS4 - NS4, the navigation widgets are moved to the right, and need to scroll horizontally to get to them. e.g. download/source.html - check that the stylesheet doesn't have fixed sizes, especially fonts! DocSet: ------- - need to add source modification control dependency on index_(bot|top).html files - how do we make L I cannot do search::swish, it's not a doc. STATUS: need to extend pod parser with U Menu: ----- Templates: ---------- - consider passing the class name to the wrap_box template, so the 'content' doesn't have to wrap itself in a <div> tag. If class is passed then we can use it in <td class=""> STATUS: low priority General: -------- - Need to document the font-type and -size used for the image button, so in the future we can add new buttons of the same style if needed. STATUS: waiting for input from Allan Content: -------- - ask perl.com to link to perl.apache.org from 'perl sites' section. + also they need to add theperlreview.com STATUS: sent a request to gnat - consider adding version id to each single document and the docsets, so those who download/read pages can tell when things get updated (the timestamp is not reliable) and also can be used to help figure out against which version the bug was reported. e.g. the following should be good enough: =for html <hr> <p><b> $Id$ </b></p> =cut Search: ------- - consider adding auto-focus feature: <body background="[% doc.dir.abs_doc_root %]/images/bgline.gif" bgcolor="#ffffff" onLoad="document.forms[0].elements[0].focus()"> make sure that this won't create js errors, on pages without document.forms[0] STATUS: on hold - add option to select number of results per page. ==================================================================== Later: ------ - Think about porting the conferences stuff. when we have an internal resource, link to it from src/help/index_top.html Integrate the Talks links from Offsite Resources into that. Also Lincoln's talks on CGI and mod_perl are at our disposal (HTML). - add feather in the tail <img src="[% doc.dir.abs_doc_root %]/images/feather_transbg.gif" width=194 height=80 alt="ASF feather"> - A tutorial on MVC is probably very interesting.

Perrin seemed to think he covered most of it in his EToys article, but I think there are still some parts missing. This one could be really complete, incorporating things like bOP, how it compares to the template approach, as well as other MVC techniques, pitfalls, etc. Jesse Erlbaum is going to write an article for a "Perl-related publication", but that probably means we're not getting it ;( http://mathforum.org/epigone/modperl/pahphucree/450BF163A931D4119C2B00D0B774183D3B24D5@exchange.vm.com - mod_perl history page in About section [Per Einar] STATUS: working on it - Figure out a way to get the SecuritySpace statistics as a nice graph on our page, looks more impressive if it's locally hosted like the Netcraft one: either fetch results and build our own graph, or just fetch their graph. - Adjust things in start with more examples. STATUS: Per Einar working on it, but hard to give good example of mod_perl that's easy :)
