From c4ee4e051b60ef2caa866d5ba172ef22aaead4cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Ormsbee Date: Sat, 21 Jul 2012 15:40:17 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Ugly listing of articles in Press page. The static press page is getting edited a lot in terms of both content and styling. I didn't want to the RSS thing until we figured out what it's supposed to look like and need in terms of fields. I didn't want to add a view entry, urls.py, etc. for this, so for now it just uses an Article namedtuple inline to make updates a little easier. --- lms/static/sass/_about_pages.scss | 6 +- lms/templates/static_templates/press.html | 340 +++++++++------------- 2 files changed, 147 insertions(+), 199 deletions(-) diff --git a/lms/static/sass/_about_pages.scss b/lms/static/sass/_about_pages.scss index 89263c0f8a..fd4891b8bf 100644 --- a/lms/static/sass/_about_pages.scss +++ b/lms/static/sass/_about_pages.scss @@ -220,15 +220,15 @@ border: 1px solid rgb(120,120,120); @include box-sizing(border-box); float: left; - height: 120px; + height: 140px; margin-right: flex-gutter(); overflow: hidden; width: flex-grid(2); img { display: block; - min-height: 100%; - width: 100%; + //min-height: 100%; + //width: 100%; } } diff --git a/lms/templates/static_templates/press.html b/lms/templates/static_templates/press.html index b4a7da5704..23afb50282 100644 --- a/lms/templates/static_templates/press.html +++ b/lms/templates/static_templates/press.html @@ -5,6 +5,129 @@ <%block name="title">edX in the Press +<%! +from collections import namedtuple + +Article = namedtuple('Article', + 'title url author image deck publication publish_date') + +articles = [ + Article(title="Review: MITx's Online Circuit Design and Analysis Course", + url="http://spectrum.ieee.org/at-work/education/review-mitxs-online-circuit-design-and-analysis-course", + author="Steven J.
