Landing Pages Plugin šŸ›©

Develcoder | Join I don’t understand why this part

Hi @angus, I tried installing this plugin on my Discourse instance but I kept getting errors after trying to rebuild app. This should be the relevant part:

I think this is the problem: Gem::LoadError: can't activate jquery-rails-4.4.0, already activated jquery-rails-4.5.0
Should be an easy fix, right? Just need to update dependencies from gem "jquery-rails", "4.4.0" in plugin.rb to gem "jquery-rails", "4.5.0"?

Thank you for this plugin.

The plugin does seem to be down. You might need to wait until the first week of July for a patch though.

This plugin is working with the latest version of Discourse again :tada:

Happy to learn about your recovery from covid. Thank you for fixing the plugin in this condition… :hugs: Get more rest!

Unfortunately, this plugin is being retired, which is why it has an #end-of-life tag. I won’t go into the technical weeds here, but it no longer makes sense to keep maintaining it in light of some changes in discourse/discourse and the overall workload and resource allocation within Pavilion.

The plugin works with the latest tests-passed, however it will no longer be updated along with any changes made to discourse/discourse. If someone wishes to take this up as a project in the future, I’d be happy to work with them on it.

Thanks for working on it; it has been a lot of fun to use.

Would anyone be able to point towards the changes in discourse/discourse we can look to instead for the future?

I’m glad!

Ah sorry, I didn’t mean that there will be an alternative in discourse/discourse (although Page Publishing may suit some use cases). I meant that the technical structure of Discourse has changed in such a way to make this plugin unfeasible without a significant amount of work to change how it works structurally. We’re quite busy with other work in Pavilion at the moment, and I can’t in good conscience promise to maintain this plugin through any further changes in Discourse.

Pavilion is working on our own new landing pages. We’ll be using Hugo instead of this plugin.

Cool, you might like this in-progress ā€œlanding pageā€ that has been whipped together from a category and tag group. It is working pretty well. Nothing fancy, but works.

Nice! It’s using this plugin?

No, created with Vue and uses Discourse API.

@angus is it possible to use bootstrap for creation of main page (login) page of Discourse instance?
Thank You :pray:

I think we’ve had a report of this plugin hiding the sidebar’s Edit Custom Section modal:

I’ll move the tag over to broken. :+1:

I’m happy to say that @cabidop has breathed new life into this plugin. It is no longer broken :tada:. See further

Hi.
Does the plug-in remain functional, with Blog landing pages as of today?
I’m new to the whole thing & when I try it, it installs & when I follow the docs (ones I found) I get an error about ā€œbodyā€ (which I found no mention for) which I leave as is, empty.
Perhaps I missing something obvious & trivial.

Hi, @lejeczek! I wasn’t testing the Landing Pages Blog repository so I don’t know if it’ll still be fully compatible, but there’s definitely a bug in this plugin that prevents the blog pages to load.

I’ve just pushed a small fix for it, once it’s ready to use I’ll let you know.

The fix has been merged :+1:
