| NOTE: This method has been replaced by the process documented at https://apachecon.com/event-images/ |
| |
| Apache websites SHOULD include images so that the ConCom or PRC can advertise |
| ApacheCon or other events. |
| |
| Maybe we'll expand the use of this later after probably a very extensive |
| discussion somewhere. For now, we won't. |
| |
| Ok, basics. |
| |
| Button/banner standard sizes: |
| |
| 468x60 full banner (not yet implemented) |
| 234x60 half banner |
| 125x125 button |
| |
| The files (e.g. buttonbar.html) are html fragments to produce a <div> with two |
| images below each other inside. You can use CSS to customize appearance. |
| |
| Howto |
| ----- |
| |
| * Option 1: Use an <iframe>: |
| |
| Here is an example for dual button images in a left-hand navigation panel: |
| |
| <iframe title="Apache Events" src="http://www.apache.org/ads/buttonbar.html" |
| style="border-width:0; float: left" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" |
| width="135" height="265"></iframe> |
| |
| The style parameter may be adjusted as needed. The width and height need to be |
| exact, so don't forget to sum your margins, padding, borders, etc. for the CSS |
| design of the rest of your page. |
| |
| * Option 2: Use hard-coded plain html fragment: |
| |
| Some web applications will not be able to use the iframe method, but can |
| directly use the html fragment from buttonbar.html for example. However this |
| circumvents the adserver, so make sure that you keep up-to-date. |
| |
| When are these updated |
| ---------------------- |
| Should be done by concom only. |
| |
| When the confirmed dates and locations are known, a standard 125x125 image |
| and a 234x60 image are generated and added to the directory ads/ApacheCon/ |
| See the readme. |
| |
| Entries are added to the Calendar, e.g. people.apache.org/calendar.html#20075 |
| |
| When the producer-maintained conference websites are ready, the apachecon.com |
| re-directs are configured, e.g. apachecon.com/2007/EU/ and eu.apachecon.com etc. |
| If a conference site is not yet ready, then refer to the ASF Calendar. |
| |
| Please do not advertise conferences too far in advance. We need to keep focus |
| on the current upcoming conferences. |
| |
| Updating the banners |
| -------------------- |
| Should be done by concom only. Just edit the HTML files. You can test locally |
| by saving any website page that has them and replacing the stuff between |
| |
| <!-- ads start --> |
| |
| <!-- ads end --> |
| |
| with the new file. |
