d120 / djangocms Goto Github PK

There seems to be an incompatibility with this version according to stackoverflow, which is why I pinned an older version in 43cb8df. This issue is an reminder to check and potentially remove this in the future.

According to the README of https://github.com/KyleAMathews/typefaces, typefaces is deprecated in favour of https://github.com/fontsource/fontsource.

I suggest we switch to https://www.npmjs.com/package/fontsource-libre-franklin and fix anything that broke.

Should we add some requirements-prod.txt for the server that looks something like:

-r requirements.txt

django-auth-ldap==2.2.0
mysqlclient==2.0.1

This way, we wouldn't need to install the native LDAP and MySQL/MariaDB anymore for every local install

Despite the name, django-rss-plugin is a small wrapper around feedparser, which presents an RSS feed as a plugin for django-cms. This plugin is currently not updated for django 3.x (c.f. #52). The current maintainer is a finnish software (https://github.com/andersinno/), that regularly works on django software but hasn't touched this particular repo in over a year (https://github.com/andersinno/django-rss-plugin/).

I'll try to move this along to django 3.x and see if it breaks but we may want to switch to something like djangocms-blog in the long run, which is officially maintained by https://github.com/nephila/, which is a gold-member of the django-cms association. I proposed this in the past, which didn't work out, so this is mostly just a note.

The update to the new version including the update to bootstrap 4 broke the design for daswesentliche which pointed pointed to the same CSS file for the base design. I migrated the theme from our old design back then and will look into it once I find the time to check whether my dev setup for the wordpress instance still exists/works.

Since this is only necessary for pyTUID, it should be fixed with d120/pyTUID#21

This issue exists to keep track of problematic dependencies in djangocms
preventing the smooth transition to Django 2. This list is not yet complete.

We currently use the defunct cmsplugin-filer for videos, pictures and downloads, which has been deprecated in 2016; sadly taking until novermber 2019 to mention (in that repo) that there are individual replacements available in the form of djangocms-picture, djangocms-video, djangocms-file and djangocms-link. Some of those have found their way into this project some other way but most importantly all of our videos that we just uploaded are in the wrong system now.

It's likely that we can lay out a clear migration from the old plugin to the new, as the last migration for cmsplugin-filer and the first migration for djangocms-video are nearly identical.

Dependabot can't evaluate your Python dependency files.

As a result, Dependabot couldn't check whether any of your dependencies are out-of-date.

The error Dependabot encountered was:

InstallationError("Invalid requirement: 'django-filer=2.0.2' (from line 15 of /home/dependabot/dependabot-updater/dependabot_tmp_dir/requirements.txt)\nHint: = is not a valid operator. Did you mean == ?")

View the update logs.

Deployment warns us that:

[email protected] requires a peer of popper.js@^1.16.1 but none is installed.
You must install peer dependencies yourself.

I think nobody uses bootstrap popovers at the moment, but this may still be a broken state of our templates and package.json

What do you think @joachimschmidt557 ?

The install process for django-cms no longer recommends djangocms-column as a basic plugin and given that it wasn't moved from Divio, the company that created the CMS to the new django-cms org, it may not continue to be the best choice of doing what it does.

We should investigate where this plugin is currently used on the webseite and remove it if it isn't. It's quite likely that one of the bootstrap plugin sets we have (djangocms-bootstrap4 and the ones from djangocms-cascade) provide the same feature with better integration with our CSS. What do you think @d120/webseite?

Django includes select2, but we use this random package for some reason. We should investiagate that and remove it, if we don't use it.

When selecting a menu item with sub-items, e.g. "...Studienneulinge", sub-items are basically shown as a list of plain text items on a solid color background. To improve the intuitive recognition, that these are buttons that can be clicked, spacing between items could be improved. Additionally, a fine white separator could be introduced.

django-select2 dropped support for Python 3.5. This is however the Python version that comes with Debian Stretch, and that is currently used in production.

Most of our django projects have fixed requirement bindings, which get regularly updatet by the dependabot. It would make sense to do this here too, since it simplifies upgrading the CMS.

People seem to have troubles finding stuff on the website, maybe a search could help with that. Possibly this one

A user has no idea wether the information on a given site is up to date.
Also it is very tedious for the content administrators to get this information. For example: I need 6 clicks to see when my Fachschaftlerpage was published and the version history is still lacking.

I propose a system, where every page has an attribute "last_relevancy_check" that not only informs the user about the relancy of the given information, but also reminds the responsible person for the site if a revisit is due. An appropiate interval for revisits would be at least every semester or every 6 months.

I bet that there's already a django (CMS) plugin for this.

Headlines appear quite large, they should probably be scaled down in size, so they can be used intuitively.
