Post your Shift screenshots!


Recommended Posts

There's a new kid in town on the Shift CC: Screenshots!

There's been a good bit of demand for a screenshot section, and with this category, we have a way to get an unlimited* number of screenshots up, and then the Shift admins can pick and choose the ones to go on the upcoming screenshot section for the front page.

I'm just going to ask that you post the version number in the description, and put the screenshot in the appropriate subcategory. Also, please use the same image for the preview as you do for the actual screenshot, but scale it down to a smaller size first. I'll have a little bit of code in place to do this for you later on tonight.

This joins a number of changes that have come to the Shift website today, including the removal of the dev blog (because it was underused and broken anyway, it may return in the coming days/weeks), the combination of the "What is Shift?" and "FAQ" pages into a single "About Shift" page, and an up-to-date downloads page. A category with subcategories now displays everything from within the subcategories on the CC, as well.

* Don't go over the top, though, we don't need our server filled to the brim with screenshots.

I'll be glad to fix all these below for you if you wish... Just need ftp access to site... I'm turst worthy. Besides just backup complete site beforehand.

First before you tackle that problem you need to remove index.php from the tabs for Home, About Shift, and download Download.

Change them in order to:

http://www.shiftlinux.net/

http://www.shiftlinux.net/about/

http://www.shiftlinux.net/download/

Art tab is missing a "/" at end of URL. And you need the www.

Change:

http://shiftlinux.net/art

To:

http://www.shiftlinux.net/art/

The Download RC1 button should also be changed to http://www.shiftlinux.net/download/ .

Once all the URLs are friendly then go about fixing the login problem. Might even fix it self. Normally does, if you coded the login correct.

And when you login drop the ?ticket=137c3e76a9247583edac197449eae3df from the url. Thats just nasty and un-user friendly...

Credits Button on bottom left on page should be changed to http://www.shiftlinux.net/credits/ .

RSS button should be simply http://www.shiftlinux.net/rss/

The art contest should be at http://www.shiftlinux.net/art/contest/ . Drop the .php crap...

Not only do all of these fixes make it easy for users to navigate and remember page URLs but it makes it a lot easier for search engines as well. Will get a higher google page rank for example....

Update:

Um ok the site needs a bit more work than I thought... You really need to take advantage of .htaccess with mod rewrite. You need to use friendly URLs for all news articles (including the more buttons).

For example Shift Linux 0.5 (RC-1) Is Released is currently http://www.shiftlinux.net/index.php?page=n...l&newsid=48 and it should be something like:

http://www.shiftlinux.net/articles/2007/08...hiftLinux05RC1/

or just:

ttp://www.shiftlinux.net/articles/ShiftLinux05RC1/

Think the first example is best since it makes it even better for search engines but the second is easier for users to figure out. So perhaps the second one is better for this site...

Again can be easily done with mod rewrite...

Yeah, you have to be at http://www.shiftlinux.net/art/index.php in order for it to work. I've figured this out and I'm working on a fix... anyone know what I should do?

No it's a simple cookie problem. You just need the www in the URL because cookies for the site require the www. It's that simple... You just have to change the url to include the www and force users to always use the www, it's simple to do once again with mod rewrite...

    • Why? Does anybody actually want this? The constant need to close all browser sessions and wait for a new version to install, just so that there’s a integrated coupon manager feels like a waste of everyone’s time

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates by Paul Hill Microsoft has just announced that starting with Edge 152, it will be moving to a two-week release cycle for faster, smaller updates. This faster release cadence will begin on August 27. This change comes just several months after Microsoft switched Visual Studio Code to weekly updates. The company said that the Extended Stable releases will remain on an eight-week cycle and that no admin changes are needed to experience the faster release cycle on the Stable channel. The new two-week release cycle will enable the faster delivery of security updates and platform improvements, all while reducing the size and complexity of individual updates. Microsoft claims that organizations will benefit from this change as it offers predictable validation cycles. For organizations that prefer a “more deliberate pace”, the Extended Stable channel remains an option. This change will affect Edge Stable releases on Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile. The Extended Stable channel will continue to be updated every eight weeks, or every fourth Stable release, for example: versions 152, 156, 160, and 164. The Extended Stable could be a good option for organizations that don’t want the latest updates twice a month and don’t want as much hassle constantly updating browsers. In the case of Visual Studio Code, many of the updates being pushed by Microsoft are AI-related. As we all know, Microsoft Edge has a lot of AI features, so we could see Microsoft pushing more AI, thanks to the faster cycles. On the flip side, quicker releases could mean faster security updates, which is beneficial in a world where AI systems are hunting for software exploits. What do you think? Let us know in the comments. For more updates on Edge, be sure to follow Neowin's coverage. In May alone, we reported on Edge offering in-browser pop-ups to assist users with website compatibility issues, that Edge was losing Copilot Mode, and that Microsoft had fixed a plain-text password bug in Edge.

    • not yet, because at the moment it is not a threat to MS, if and I mean if it did become a threat to MS Office, then it may be a different thing. MS don't like competition
