Feature #1395
Updated by Alexander Watzinger about 4 years ago
We want to avoid Git branches for different frontends as long as possible. Current issue is the content of the start page and an optional legal issue page. For this we will use the existing configuration functionality in the backend admin (tab content). *To do* * API: add functionality to get this content (with i18n) * Frontend: fetch and display intro and optional legal issue (with i18n) *Technical* There are 3 options, configurable in backend (admin/content): * intro_for_frontend * legal_notice_for_frontend * contact_for_frontend They can be requested in backend (currently in develop branch) by e.g. <pre> Content.get_translation('intro_for_frontend', 'de') </pre> I added a second language parameter (*'de'* in this example) because it seems the API is not language aware. If left empty, the language isn't available or the translation is empty the default language translation will be returned. Should be relatively fail safe, worst case scenario is you get an empty string. *Advantages* * Update doesn't involve a manual Git pull or change on the server * Manager of the backend could change it themselves, which would be faster and less work for us * Easy to implement in backend because we already have this for e.g. backend intro, contact * Can be changed with an HTML editor * Multi language support * Easily expandable for other content e.g. contact, legal issues
