Migrate existing content from Plone to Wordpress

Waiting for Tom Stein (GEO) to take this over.

[jordanpadams]

@nutjob4life can we ping Tom (CC me) to see where we are at with this?

[jordanpadams]

or even just forward me the latest email chain and I can ping him

[nutjob4life]

Turns out Tom's over-subscribed so he's assigned me (by dint of saying "Sean would be more awesome at this") to populate the site with content using the attached slide deck.

@nutjob4life @jordanpadams is this ticket still blocked ? If not, maybe someone else that Sean could add the slide deck to the site ?

[nutjob4life]

I will be tackling this during the next sprint

[tloubrieu-jpl]

@nutjob4life needs plugins and it takes some time to get them deployed by our SAs.

[tloubrieu-jpl]

Good progress on that, see https://pdscloud-ipda.jpl.nasa.gov/

The new url https://ipda.jpl.nasa.gov/

Some images links have been broken while migrating the web site to the new URL. The URLs are stored inside the wordpress database (DSIO-2742)

@nutjob4life is migrating some remaining pages.

[jordanpadams]

@nutjob4life looks great! let's maybe talk next week with @mpnewcom (if he is in), about some basically styling from the PDS WDS we should be using here. The only think I am really worried about with doing an entirely separate look-and-feel is the accessibility that comes out of the box. But if we have other ways of checking that, then that's OK too.

[nutjob4life]

The theme I chose claims to have WCAG AA and 508 adherence. But even so, accessibility can be affected by the content itself (for example, adding an image with no alt text). So scans should be done regardless.

I recommend axe DevTools. It's a browser extension that gives some nicely detailed reports. (There's a free trial.)

[tloubrieu-jpl]

Still broken images and 2 more sections to finalize the migration.

A couple of my nitpicks:

https://ipda.jpl.nasa.gov/access-to-data/ the diagrams are a bit small and hard to read. Maybe put them one on top of the other?

The links for that page should really go to whatever is documented here: https://planetarydata.org/access-to-data

Or in reality, those pages linked there to Atmospheres node should really be migrated to Wordpress as well. They should not be hosted at Atmospheres Node (ugh… why did they not just give them to us to put on pds.nasa.gov 😊 )

https://ipda.jpl.nasa.gov/partners/ cannot really read the name below the logos

[nutjob4life]

@jordanpadams thanks for the feedback!

• Stacked the diagrams as you suggested. The "solar system" is a lot easier to read now. Just a note that this could still get dinged as an accessibility issue. An image map looks neat but it isn't all that friendly. A simple list would get us a higher WCAG score
• Thanks for the links. I've added them.
• Yes, as soon as the Atmospheres node goes down, so does essentially that page! 😝
• I've removed the image captions altogether

@nutjob4life 👍

Status: awaiting inputs from Tom Stein and Christophe

[jimmie]

Will need to schedule a face to face (or screen to screen as it were) w/ Tom etal

[tloubrieu-jpl]

@nutjob4life will set up a meeting with Tom Stein

[nutjob4life]

@tloubrieu-jpl @jordanpadams if we're going to be changing the entire theme, perhaps we should do that first before showing it to Tom Stein? He might be in for a bit of a shock if he signs off on the current theme and suddenly sees HDS in its place later on.

Blocked by #15 which needs to be done first

[jordanpadams]

@nutjob4life I think I am going to close this as "done" for now. I think the design stuff from #15 is really blocking the review of the website and the overall closeout of https://github.com/nasa-pds/planetarydata.org/issues/7 . we can open additional tickets if we have more things we want to pull from Plone

[nutjob4life]

Sound reasoning, thanks @jordanpadams !
