Archlinux.fr [Forums]

Hi everyone.

Sorry I have to ask in english, as I don't know french... although I can understand a little.

I'm one of the admins of the hispanic Arch community <http://www.archlinux-es.org> and we would like to make some changes to our site regarding the theme, as we have the old look. None of us is very apt at graphic design and we found out that your site is using more or less the same platforms we want/have.

We found out that the official Arch homepage using Django is far too complicated to maintain for the task we need (news and rss feeds for the packages), so we were thinking in using WordPress for that. Would you care to share the Theme you are using?

Also we were thinking migrating the forums to FluxBB, but, we don't have the time and resources yet to commit ourselves to do it properly, so if you wouldn't mind, do you care sharing the phpBB theme too?

Thanks in advance and sorry for the offtopic, but could'nt find whom to write via email to ask this.

Regards,
sud_crow

Hi,

I think it's this one: http://tuxce.no-ip.org/cgit/public/archweb/

I think you can find it here: http://tuxce.no-ip.org/cgit/public/forums.archlinux.fr/

You want to talk to tuxce, but I'm not sure that he was here this week, perhaps Monday.

Thank you!

I will try with those and thank/ask him later...


Regards!

Hi everyone again,

I'm back with this and wrote to Tuxce about it via private message about a week ago, but didn't get an answer yet.

As we are with the site down, and I wanted to get it working with the new theme, I'm was wondering if someone else might know, so, I'm asking just in case, until tuxce can answer.

I'm having a couple of problems with the WordPress theme:

The theme "includes" a file from a "commun" directory:
include_once (ABSPATH . "commun/functions.php");

I guess the functions I'm missing later belong to this file:
print_arch_header()
print_arch_favicon()

The file doesn't seem to be in the git repository:
http://tuxce.no-ip.org/cgit/public/arch ... /wordpress

Does someone know where can I find this file, and if I need something else to make the WP theme work?

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

Waiting tuxce for more explanations, I guess here were the files and directories you seek: http://tuxce.no-ip.org/cgit/public/archweb/tree/ (according to the README, commun contains shared stuff between the different themes wordpress, phpBB, pastebin and dokuwiki).

Hi sud_crow, sorry, I forgot to answer your message (I read it on a cellphone ).
The right git repository is: http://git.archlinux.fr/archweb
There was a git update-server-info missing on the other one.

It's a 404 link, you certainely wanted to say http://git.archlinux.fr/archweb.git/

Thanks everyone!

I will have a look at that repository and post the outcome later!

Thanks again...

Hi everyone again...
I think something is missing or out of date.

The current French homepage is using the following CSS:
@import url( http://archlinux.fr/wp-content/themes/a ... /style.css );

Which leads to this:
http://archlinux.fr/wp-content/themes/a ... /style.css

And then to this:
http://archlinux.fr/commun/archweb.css

None of those files are in the current "master" download of the git tree, and thus, the site seems "broken".

Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

I could get the files manually and link them, but I thought of asking, just in case I'm downloading the wrong older version of the site.

Thanks in advance!

Looks like the git is 3 years old and does not reflect the current design of ArchLinux.fr
@tuxce Could you update git

That's what I thought. Even the colors looked like the previous design... but, I thought I was pulling the wrong branch or something.
I will PM tuxce about it, just in case he has this marked as read and forgets about it!

Thanks!

Tuxce updated the Git repository and after a couple of hours modifying things a bit, everything is working quite well. There are still a few things to fix, but, most of the work is done.

Thanks everyone again!
