This is a redesign of the features landing page from the current style
that includes the new sections in a grid format as well as some new
high-quality sections.
Now that this page redirects to upstream, make our own links
to it point directly upstream. This saves a redirect, and
makes it more transparent where the link points if the user
examines it before following.
The policy here is essentially:
* Pages on the central server (documentation, etc.) are server_uri.
* Pages associated with a user's realm server (anything logged-in, plus
things like their login page) are realm_uri.
Changes relative path to an absolute path (that doesn't contain the
subdomain) for various links to
/create_realm, /api, /apps, /integrations, /hello, /terms, and the logged
out / (the Zulip in the upper left corner of portico)
I typically left links internal to the relevant pages (e.g. a link from
integrations.html to a subpage of integrations/) as relative links, and
changed external links from within the app to the absolute path (e.g. the
link to integrations from the gear menu).
This results in a substantial performance improvement for all of
Zulip's backend templates.
Changes in templates:
- Change `block.super` to `super()`.
- Remove `load` tag because Jinja2 doesn't support it.
- Use `minified_js()|safe` instead of `{% minified_js %}`.
- Use `compressed_css()|safe` instead of `{% compressed_css %}`.
- `forloop.first` -> `loop.first`.
- Use `{{ csrf_input }}` instead of `{% csrf_token %}`.
- Use `{# ... #}` instead of `{% comment %}`.
- Use `url()` instead of `{% url %}`.
- Use `_()` instead of `{% trans %}` because in Jinja `trans` is a block tag.
- Use `{% trans %}` instead of `{% blocktrans %}`.
- Use `{% raw %}` instead of `{% verbatim %}`.
Changes in tools:
- Check for `trans` block in `check-templates` instead of `blocktrans`
Changes in backend:
- Create custom `render_to_response` function which takes `request` objects
instead of `RequestContext` object. There are two reasons to do this:
1. `RequestContext` is not compatible with Jinja2
2. `RequestContext` in `render_to_response` is deprecated.
- Add Jinja2 related support files in zproject/jinja2 directory. It
includes a custom backend and a template renderer, compressors for js
and css and Jinja2 environment handler.
- Enable `slugify` and `pluralize` filters in Jinja2 environment.
Fixes#620.
In order to enable internationalization support in Zulip, and to use
Django internationalization tools, all strings in Zulip frontend needs
to be marked for translation.
This needs to be deployed to both staging and prod at the same
off-peak time (and the schema migration run).
At the time it is deployed, we need to make a few changes directly in
the database:
(1) UPDATE django_content_type set app_label='zerver' where app_label='zephyr';
(2) UPDATE south_migrationhistory set app_name='zerver' where app_name='zephyr';
