Django 3 and a new design #861

Closed teury closed 2 years ago

teury commented 4 years ago

This project has stopped updating over time.

evgenyfadeev commented 4 years ago

I'm about a week away from releasing the next version.

teury commented 4 years ago

I am seeing the project, and it is very good but it is outdated.

I think that a new design can bring life to this project.

But it has some difficulties:

[ ] don't use Jinja2 (Not necessary)
[ ] Too many Javascript that depends on the design (the project has many js files).
[ ] upgrade to Markdown 3
[ ] RSS Feed, nobody uses it and it can be removed.
[ ] Think about SEO. It is necessary to add in all external links. rel=”nofollow” (In the answers it is possible with Markdown)
[ ] A more powerful notification system. Can be used https://github.com/django-notifications/django-notifications

Those are the things that I have seen, your comments are welcome. I would like to know what you think.

I think a week has passed.

evgenyfadeev commented 4 years ago

Working this weekend, have a good chance to finish.

evgenyfadeev commented 4 years ago

I've made more progress on the pr-849-wip, been working on the askbot-setup parameter validations, which is surprisingly pain-staking. Need to make the setup script simple enough and user friendly. I feel that I need 1-2 work days to finish.

martin-bts commented 4 years ago

And in the end it is really not that useful. A well documented settings_askbot.py with a statement

from settings_askbot import *

in settings.py probably is more helpful, more flexible and less error prone. After all, the old installer used to finish with an explicit instruction to make changes to settings.py.

any update?

evgenyfadeev commented 3 years ago

Hi,

yes the master branch now is Python 3.0 compatible and the askbot-setup script is working.

Will release on Pypi this weekend.
