Bradley M. Kuhn wrote the first draft of these principles on 23 May
2015. They were from there rewritten collaboratively over the following
months with the participation (in chronological order) of Karen
M. Sandler, W. John Sullivan, and Allison Randal.
This commit is the first publication of the principles on 1 October
2015.
The news announcement posted on Conservancy's site on 2015-10-28 at:
https://sfconservancy.org/news/2015/oct/28/vmware-update/
had additional facts. This commit incorporates those into the FAQ.
Additionally, a link to additional technical materials was also provided
that day.
Add additional information and details about the technical details of
the VMware violation. This extends the existing example with more
detail and improves various other parts related in the FAQ.
Written by Denver Gingerich <denver@sfconservacy.org> and me, this
description gives one example of how VMware incorporated Linux code with
vmkernel and distributed the resulting work.
.. even though you havent’t yet hovered over the link.
This change corrects that behavior. Suggested by mina86:
<mina86> so when you hover over the LI the link changes background even though
you havent’t yet hovered over the link
<mina86> #container #sidebar li:hover a { background: #577632; color: #fff; }
<mina86> s/li:hover a/li a:hover/ would be IMO better
The banner always faded in/out, but now other texts can be designated
with the class 'donate-box-highlight' and those will fade out and fade
back in with bold and slightly larger font.
This is perhaps too flashy, but it does successfully animate the
progress bar up to the target amount, and also changes the amount until
it reaches the total raised so far.
The urls.py is of course only evaluated once: at Apache load time, which
means the data in the template became stale and is not dynamic.
This change should cause the lookup to happen at each page view.
The progressbar is generated by Javascript. As such, the text here
won't have a progressbar formatted around it when the browser doesn't
support Javascript.
However, since the Javascript does update the text, we can format the
Django template to put in place text that we wish will appear when no
Javascript is turned on, and then allow the Javascript to make it right
when it's available.
Graceful degradation: I may be its last proponent.
The npoacct campaign was launched before the Supporter program, and
parts of its functionality were incorporated into supporter-page.js
ultimately. This commit hopefully now backports that functionality to
npoacct campaign.
This seems to be the best approach to pass a fundraising goal record to
a template. While the static hack that tmarble implemented probably
needs work anyway, this is probably the best way currently to interface
certain general data that we seek to place on many different pages
through the templates.
I looked into a templatetags solution, but this seemed more
straightforward and more fitting with Django principles (I think :).
This changes the hard-coded style for what I'm calling the
content-with-donate-sidebar. The advantage of not hard-coding style are
obvious, but I'm doing this now rather than later so that I can add
changes to the CSS that causes the width to extend to 100% on smaller
screen media when the donate bar disappears (the latter of which is
already implemented).
When we have both dt's and the donate-sidebar floating around, things
get tight. Perhaps there is a better solution than this (e.g., can you
set the @media conditional on there being a donate-sidebar at all?), but
this should be a reasonable hack to fix the problem.
Set the min-width for the left-floating dt's to 550px, so that small
screens just get everything in one column.
Note that the formatting previously used is now moved purely to @media,
which I don't know how that will impact browsers that don't support
@media in CSS, but OTOH, I believe the graceful degradation is done
correctly here.
This is accomplished by three key changes:
* use em rather than px sizes, so that font changes are accomodated.
* Add a margin to the dt.
* center the text in the dt's rather than right align.
Using this span, we can update the number in the fundraising percentage
text automatically. The downside is that non-javascript browsers will
not receive a fundraising percentage, but the upside is that fewer
things need to be calculated by hand, and now only the amount raised so
far needs updated.
After much discussion with Tony and tmarble, we've concluded not to put
the menu on the initial page, and instead place it on the thank-you
page, to which PayPal payers are redirected.
<tmarble> (aka Bruxelles) is not required [16:16]
<bkuhn> tmarble: removed
<bkuhn> I put it in only because people might not know.

The content of the amounts for the fundraiser can be kept in the HTML
rather than the progress bar Javscript code.
I suspect at some point I should keep this data in the Django database
and extract it from there as dynamic content.
Sidebar currently gets bottom cut off when your browser height is too
small. This URL seems to indicate a fix. I don't have time to do it
now, but wanted to save it as a note to do later.
This image now is displayed with the same background and to the left of
the "Big News". I spent extensive time researching how best to present
a larger <div> with the grey background and have the image properly
scale beside it. Ultimately, I couldn't find a better way than this,
and this is hardly optimal.
For example, I looked into wrapping the whole thing in a div, with two
div's inside, and applying various CSS to each to get the image to
properly stay right next to the text and scale in size when resizing of
media made paragraph longer. This generated even more problems, so I
went with the simpler solution herein, which probably isn't correct and
may well do odd things on different types of media.
An anonymous donor is matching up to $5k at 2-to-1 for supporter
donations. Therefore, update the page to include a progress bar for
this, and add notes about it in various places.
Since the error messages have important information, and since the
Javascript code is the only "enforcer" of the minimum donation, the
errors really should be displayed by default if the browser is not
Javascript-capable. This change does that, but also toggles the state
back so that errors are not shown until needed in Javascript-capable
browsers.
I believe this still fits graceful degradation, since browsers without
Javascript and CSS were already showing the errors anyway, so now the
only real change is that everyone sees the errors by default.
It *might* make sense to not show the errors in red in non-Javascript
browsers (i.e., make the default CSS color black for the form-error-show
class, and then change it to red in the Javascript). I didn't make that
so, because it's not clear to me that's right, and we *do* want to draw
attention to the errors lest people become a supporter below the
minimum (which has happened once already -- that precipitated this
change).
I'm still annoyed that PayPal doesn't provide a "minimum but no maximum"
variable donation box of its own, which would solve this problem
outright.
The general selectors previously used here matched either form. With
this change, they will only match the form for which the selection was
actually made.
The problem before was that an error in the annual form would prevent
submission of the monthly form and vice-versa. That is herein corrected
with this change, which assures that the input with id of "amount" if
the specific form (id'd with "annual" or "monthly") is the only one
checked.
I actually think I want amount to be id rather than a class, now that I
figured out the proper selector to find them all.
Also, the $("span", input.parent()) was buggy if there were any other
span's other than error-related ones in the supporter-form-inputs div.
Finally, ditch that <small> stuff and simply place a font-size reduction
into the CSS for the form-error-show.
According to
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/
no_shipping has the following values:
0: prompt for an address, but do not require one
1: do not prompt for an address
2: prompt for an address, and require one
The default is 0.
Ideally, any time they change wantGift, even in a pure HTML form, we'd
change it between 0 and 2 as appropriate (i.e., we need the address if
they want the t-shirt).
However, I couldn't find an easy way to make this modification in pure
CSS or HTML, so it only happens in Javascript-enabled browsers.
This is still graceful degradation, since the only impact is in cases
where a non-Javascript user fails to give us an address, and we have to
email later to get the shipping address.
This required some doing. I'm not completely sure it works, but I
roughly followed the tutorial available at:
https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/get-started/create-recurring-donation-button
with back-reference to this:
https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/paypal-payments-standard/integration-guide/Appx_websitestandard_htmlvariables/
My main concern with this setup currently is that 'p3' must be set to
'1', which would seem from the documentation to be saying the payment
will recur only once. There is a subtle hint via the tutorial that
setting 'src' to 1 will override 'p3' with whatever is found in 'srt',
but that's not said anywhere explicitly that I can find. So, I'm going
with this and I'll just test it myself with a monthly subscription to
see if it's indefinite (which is the behavior we herein desire).
Finally, note that "amount" is now a class rather than id, since I'm now
using the associated jQuery .on('input') code for both the annual and
monthly amount boxes.
I suspect some supporters are just accepting the default, so by default,
the t-shirt option will be "No", and supporters will have to
affirmatively chose "Yes".
Thanks to previously committed Javascript hack, users with Javascript
capable browsers should avoid seeing the t-shirt sizing options until
they chose "Yes".
Use Javascript to hide the t-shirt size selector when the the user
selects "No" for "Do you want a t-shirt?". Reshow it (and make sure
it's shown by default) for "Yes".
This CSS, which I discovered from extensive research online, should work
to create a bulleted list with the bullets being the heart-shaped
Conservancy logo.
