zh-tw subdomain

[yorkxin]

Hi,

We recently run many workshops using your RailsBridge document. It's pretty good for newbies. Thanks for your great work!

However the URL of document is hard to remember. Currently it's http://railsbridge-docs-zh-tw.herokuapp.com/ with a short cut URL http://bit.ly/railsbridge-tw

It would be great if the URL becomes http://zh-tw.railsbridge.org so it is easier to remember and people who read Chinese can link to our version from your website.

By merging this pull request, the nav bar will be look like this, which you can see in our current website:

However, in addition to merging PR, to serve an aliased domain name, there are some DNS setups that should be configured (as mentioned in #294). Would you do this for us?

And by the way, I see in app.js/locale there is a comment saying that locale-by-subdomain supports only 2-digits language name. We're using 5 digits (zh-tw), but there is no locale-switching issue on our Heroku deployment, because we've forcibly set locale to zh-tw when running up the server. There might be another issues in the future but not urgent.

Thanks again!

I can merge this code in, but I'm not really sure what's going on with the DNS stuff. @alexch does it make sense to do the same thing that's currently happening for es.railsbridge.org? Who can update that? How is that set up?

[yorkxin]

I've setup custom domain on my heroku app. All you need to do is adding this DNS record to railsbridge.org:

CNAME   zh-tw   railsbridge-docs-zh-tw.herokuapp.com.

After that, zh-tw.railsbridge.org would be pointed to our Chinese translation site.

Friendly nudge to @alexch (or others?) on the DNS change. It would be awesome to get this merged! 🐎

It's probably past time to move RailsBridge's DNS onto a shared account, right? Only @alexch having access to it is a worryingly low bus number.

It was moved to a shared DNSimple account (username admin@bridgefoundry.org)
a while ago. I know @ultrasaurus has access to it but I don't know who else
does. Is there a shared passwords database somewhere I can go add the info
to?

In the meantime, I'll fix this issue now. Rachel, thanks for the ping.

We're using 5 digits (zh-tw), but there is no locale-switching issue on
our Heroku
deployment, because we've forcibly set locale to zh-tw when running up
the server.

That's important. We should merge all these language forks into the main
repo soon, and when that happens we need to make 5-char locales work.

worryingly low bus number

By the way, my friend/client @ajrossman recently renamed this "island
number" since it's much more nice to imagine someone retiring to a
tropical island than getting hit by a bus :-)

DNS mapped. With DNSimple, CNAME doesn't seem to work; you have to use their special ALIAS type.

Would be nice if this list used ::Installfest::AVAILABLE_LOCALES instead.

(Also if Installfest were renamed RailsbridgeDocs :-))

[yorkxin]

So we're going to support per-curriculum localization, right? That'll be great too!

[yorkxin]

Thank you so much for merging this PR!

Thanks all folks! <3 <3 <3

[ultrasaurus]

Greg Nokes volunteered to manage DNS. Alex and I also have access. This went by on the email list a while back. Any thoughts on a good place to keep this info so folks can refer to it?
