Next priority list of updates & fixes before new website going live

[lulen11]

Hey team,

Creating this as as an epic with a checklist of all the smaller issues listed here (please edit and add to this as you please).

I think best thing would be for us to first add the item to the checklist here. Then go and create an issue or directly open a PR that would tackle the checklist item (and would provide a place for us to have specific conversation directly related to said issue). Then please link the issue/PR you created to the checklist item in here, as well as tagging the main person responsible for each item.

First priority:

• Update node version - Update node version #91 @kbardi
• Link blueprint version - Link blueprint to show up on v5.aimementoring #92 @kbardi
• Fix why the images aren't displaying - Images aren't loading properly #93 @kbardi
• Get SEO functioning - Add SEO meta to website pages #88 @kbardi
• Be a mentor temporary updates - Update Be a Mentor page this in-between design #94 @lulen11
• Update newsletter component with mailchimp form - Update newsletter signup form #95 @lulen11
• Update intercom widget - Update intercom contact widget before going live #102 @rin
• Add beta message. @charliemckenzie @rin if Create Alert and/or Notification component(s) blueprint#132 needs longer then this week then @lulen11 maybe you just hardcode something simple for now.
• Check/fix donate page. May be broken because v5 domain is blocked by Raisly @kbardi
• /the-mentor broken. Proposed long term solution was discussed in Missing "fetch" #32. My short term solution here @lulen11 @CarolinaPd
• Footer: Remove Become a Partner link / make it activate Intercom if easy @lulen11
• Footer: "Shop Apparel" isn't linked to the shop @lulen11
• Footer: Hide FAQs link until they can be re-written Update FAQs #103 @lulen11
• Fonts - fix font-stack if fonts don't load @lulen11

Second priority:

• Update donate page link to widget - Remove donate page and replace with raisely widget #97 @bronz3beard
• Restyle dropdown nav items @lulen11

Nice to have:

• Visual fixes on Stories section - Update styles on Stories #96 @lulen11
• Vertically centre nav items (it’s most pronounced when sticky)

Side note: I think I should have created this as a “release” not an “epic” but too late now. I'm aware... My bad.

Hey @lulen11 I'm working on some of those issues.
Update node version done in #101, still need to fix a gimbal/lighthouse issue.
Link blueprint version also I did there, but not sure to understand what is the problem there...

[bronz3beard]

Hey @lulen11
I think the check boxes for;
Footer: Remove Become a Partner link / make it activate Intercom if easy.
Footer: "Shop Apparel" isn't linked to the shop.

Are all sorted, you can see in this PR shop links to shop and Partner links to intercom FAQ

or maybe I'm missing something? Hopefully you can tick them off your list :-)

[lulen11]

Thanks @kbardi - when they're done, please link and check them off the list :)

And thanks @bronz3beard - the shop apparel link looks good but left you a comment / change request about the partner link :)

Probably at the end of my day I'll merge my PR with many changes...I'll let you know @lulen11

About the beta message, adding a notification thing to Blueprint is not on my list right now (it's not a huge thing, I just think it's not that much of a priority) so for the website, hardcoding something subtle sounds like a better idea! (Also because I think as a "notification" it would draw too much attention? Which sounds spammy to me.) (You're the 1 millionth visitor of this website! You win a free iPhone!) 😉

hi @rin - i've taken care of a temporary beta message on #106 now

[lulen11]

hi @kbardi

I've worked through quite a bit of this today. Running into issues that I would love your help with on #104

Apart from that, I've opened PRs for the rest (some with questions for you)

And there's one item left to do which is:

Check/fix donate page. May be broken because v5 domain is blocked by Raisly @kbardi

[mischacolley]

I'm still not seeing the correct font when I go to http://v5.aimementoring.com/? See https://www.loom.com/share/08bded6afa5341c1b40d238c500193ca

Is that being fixed somewhere? Maybe the correct version of Blueprint still isn't being loaded/variables wrong? Also @lulen11 I feel like those headings will need a fallback font stack?

[lulen11]

Are you cached @mischacolley ? I've checked it on incognito and I've disabled my local fonts too and still is all working for me.

also @lulen11 I feel like those headings will need a fallback font stack?

But yes 🤦‍♀ 100%. Will fix that up today on a new PR. I just went into Blueprint and checked... They do have a fallback - I've set them up to go back to the old font styles (see below). @charliemckenzie in the future, maybe we could source a similar standard-ish font we can use as fallbacks for luna emu and gt pressura mono?

Instances of stylised font: "Luna Emu", "Poppins Black", "Arial Black", "sans serif"
Instances of feature font: "GT Pressura Mono Bold", "Univers Bold", "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif

[charliemckenzie]

Good thinking @lulen11 ! Will have a think about this :)

[mischacolley]

@charliemckenzie this issue will likely be closed soon so I'd break the font stuff out into seperate issues :)

[kbardi]

We fixed some issues related to font stuff yesterday, so is it still failing the font in any page? @mischacolley @lulen11

[kbardi]

Vertically centre nav items (it’s most pronounced when sticky)
@lulen11 is this error still happening? I can see it vertically centered
