/about/ page?

Closed this issue · 12 comments

Just pushed the v2 version of the template we use for pages like https://opennews-source-staging.herokuapp.com/about/. @kissane, I'm not sure if we still plan to actually use these. Right now the "learn more about this project"-type links are pointing to opennews.org, but they can certainly be pointed to a page like this if we like.

I would love to have a flat page for this, and can add the fresh new copy to it whenever it's convenient!

Awesome, just edit the about page here and let me know when it's safe to link up: https://opennews-source-staging.herokuapp.com/admin/flatpages/flatpage/

I think we probably don't need the contribute and subscribe pages anymore, right? The contribute would be replaced by the "suggest an article" form, and the subscribe by the email newsletter link? If not, lmk.

I think this page is now correct, but I can't preview it to be sure—when I hit "view on site" it redirects to the Articles page, which I assume is something to do with it not being live or…something? Maybe @ryanpitts knows the solution to the mystery.

hahaha, this was an overaggressive fix for redirecting the /learning/ page, will update

Respect to that fix, it is srs.

ok this works now: https://opennews-source-staging.herokuapp.com/about/

Looks like this should be wired up in the footer link, and in the homepage blurb. @kissane anywhere else?

@ryanpitts Perfect, thanks, and those are indeed the spots!

@kissane one more question while I'm updating those links. Current the "contribute your work" links in the footer and the homepage blurb point to mailto:source@opennews.org.

Have you had a chance to look at & test the article submit form yet? Do you want me to change the "contribute" links to point to that form?

@ryanpitts I like the form though I haven't tested it yet, but I think we should point to the Contribute flat page, which I will update to point to the article and repo submission forms. It needs updating, but you could do the pointering now and I will make sure I do the editing.

No problem, will point those at /contribute/

actually, I shouldn't close this if you still have text updates for either of those pages. the links are hooked up though.

Both pages are all set, closing it up!
