Title: WebPageDevelopment
| Old | New | Line | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | + | The main web page of Lazarus project can be found here : | |
| 2 | + | ||
| 3 | + | [`http://www.lazarus-ide.org/`](http://www.lazarus-ide.org/) | |
| 4 | + | ||
| 5 | + | It is done with HTML and PHP, and connects to SMF (Simple Machines) forum SW. | |
| 6 | + | ||
| 7 | + | The sources are in a subversion repository : | |
| 8 | + | ||
| 9 | + | [`https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazaruswebsite/`](https://svn.freepascal.org/svn/lazaruswebsite/) | |
| 10 | + | ||
| 11 | + | which is almost the same address that Lazarus sources have, only "lazarus" is replaced with "lazaruswebsite". It is readable by anyone. | |
| 12 | + | ||
| 13 | + | Testing the page locally requires normal web server + PHP installation. SMF (Simple Machines) does not need to be installed though. The PHP code is clever enough to insert "dummy" forum data when real data is not available. | |
| 14 | + | ||
| 15 | + | The page can be improved by anyone by sending patches through bug tracker, the same way that patches are sent for pascal sources. However, if the changes are clearly a matter of taste (like colors) then please discuss the changes first in mailing list or forum. | |
| 16 | + | ||
| 17 | + | When a patch is applied to SVN, it is updated automatically to a test server : | |
| 18 | + | ||
| 19 | + | [`http://test.lazarus-ide.org/`](http://test.lazarus-ide.org/) | |
| 20 | + | ||
| 21 | + | After it is checked for visual appearance and for potential security issues, it will be updated manually to the "production" server. | |
| 22 | + | ||
| 23 | + | However the test server is not very useful for a contributor because the changes must be tested locally anyway. | |
| 24 | + | ||
