496007 - Need to rearrange resources folder on MDC

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(mozilla.org Graveyard :: Server Operations, task)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

MindTouch has introduced a better way to manage custom strings in the new version of the Deki. We need to replace the contents of the current resources folder with the standard contents (throwing away all our customizations), then insert some new files that contain only our custom strings.

What's the best way for us to accomplish this, in terms of having the custom files in SVN so we can pull changes to those files?

Right now it is pulling all its resources from http://svn.mozilla.org/projects/deki/trunk/mozilla/resources/, so you'll just need to change that directory to whatever is appropriate.

OK, I've replaced the contents of the resources directory so that it now only has the files that we need to have inserted into the live server's resources directory.

Now we need to replace all the files that are currently in that folder on the server with the originals from the 9.02.2 repository, then pull the new files from SVN.

Let me know when that is done and I'll SVN up.

Comment 4

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

OK, I've committed this change. There are now just three files in our SVN, comprising the custom strings. These need to be placed into the resources folder on the server in addition to the standard strings files (which need to be pulled from MindTouch's repository).

From then on, custom skin strings can be done in these new files instead of patching the standard string files.

Any update on when this might happen?

Comment 6

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Still need to get this fixed; it should resolve problems with broken string resources as well as improving our future ability to update the skin strings.

Comment 7

[Jeremy Orem [:oremj]]

I've made the change, however, I see a missing string on the front page if the user is not logged in.  Do you know how to fix?
