I have been working for the past few weeks on updating marketplace.eclipse.org to Drupal 7 (the current website is running under Drupal 6). To make this possible I have rewritten most of the 14 custom modules & created a new theme that's compatible with the latest api of Drupal 7. I have also upgraded a contributed(Drupal community) module that was never upgraded to Drupal 7. I also added some more cache to get the website to load a bit faster and limiting the load to our database server. Now that this is done, I am testing the site and fixing bugs. The beta site is now available at : http://marketplaced7.eclipse.org/ Don't hesitate to write a test comment or even submit a test solution. The data here will be deleted every now and then until we are ready to release. Feel free to leave your feedback/bugs here. **** I currently only tested the site on Firefox, Chrome, IE9, iPad & iPhone. I plan to test the site on IE8-IE7, opera, safari in the next few days. ****
Looks good and works very smooth. Some remarks * I would sort search result based on number of votes or relevance. Seems to be random order now. * favicon is still the drupal default * The default icon, seems strange * If you click an error in the error tab, you are forwarded to http://marketplaced7.eclipse.org/content/hello-world Hendrik.
thanks for the feedback! > * I would sort search result based on number of votes or relevance. Seems to > be random order now. I made some changes to the way we rank the search now. The big changes I did to fix this issue is that the title is more important. Also recent content and content with recent comments will rank higher than older content without comments. > * favicon is still the drupal default The marketplace favicon is now being used. > * The default icon, seems strange The default icon is now the eclipse logo, not really sure where that old logo came from... :) > * If you click an error in the error tab, you are forwarded to > http://marketplaced7.eclipse.org/content/hello-world The link now go to the actual error report. I am going to update this page to look more like the one on the production site. ----- UPDATE: Please note that some solution logo are missing, this is because the image folder on the testing server is not sync with the one on the production server. I also notice that some page are not passing the W3C markup validation service. I am also working on this! thanks
Quick Update : The Eclipse Foundation is going to proceed with the upgrade on August 21st 2012 5:00am EST. During the migration process we plan to keep the current site open but in a read-only state. Users will have access to the site but login will be disabled. It will be clear on the website that we are currently in a read-only mode with a banner on every single page. We plan to be in that state for about 6 hours. Everything should be back to normal once we make the switch to the new site. It's important to know that error reports created during the read-only state period wont appear in the new site. The reason behind this is, once marketplace is in read-only mode I will take a snapshot of the database and start the migration of all the data.
Update: The testing site is now closed http://marketplaced7.eclipse.org/. We've started the migration process and to avoid any problems the testing site is now in maintenance. thanks
The site has been live for a month! I would like to thanks everyone that helped me with this project! Marking as FIXED.
