Logs for #nikola for 2015-06-19

12:20:41 <gour> comparison table at https://docpad.org/docs/intro is really s**tty
12:40:46 <ralsina> gour: well, it's comparing to the mythical "typical ssg"
12:41:14 <ralsina> Although I can't think of a SSG that lacks "Plugin and extension system"
12:41:24 <ralsina> or even a CMS, for that matter
12:58:51 <gour> ralsina: my client crashed, but i was able to decipher your msg in regard
13:02:55 <ralsina> [09:40:46] <ralsina> gour: well, it's comparing to the mythical "typical ssg"
13:02:55 <ralsina> [09:41:14] <ralsina> Although I can't think of a SSG that lacks "Plugin and extension system"
13:02:55 <ralsina> [09:41:24] <ralsina> or even a CMS, for that matter
13:02:59 <ralsina> Just in case :-)
13:03:57 * gour nods
13:04:10 <gour> thanks...some parts were missing ;)
13:10:41 <ralsina> in fact, Nikola can tick almost all those checkboxes
13:10:56 <ralsina> except "extends web server" ... although we do if you coult "nikola auto" as a webserver ;-)
13:12:37 <gour> right. it was long ago when i was looking at Docpad, but it still remained in my cache...however, didn't like it due to too much JS-related stuff
13:14:58 <ChrisWarrick> gour: why not write a complaint to them?
13:16:27 <ChrisWarrick> also, I have no fucking idea what it is, it claims to be language independent and yet it has features that need server support… WTF?!
13:16:58 <ChrisWarrick> Also: their website, which is hosted on heroku, is now down.  Congratulations!
13:17:54 <ChrisWarrick> either (a) bullshit or (b) batshit insane
13:18:31 <ralsina> ChrisWarrick: it s a SSG that runs on demand on the server, IIUC
13:18:43 <ChrisWarrick> ralsina: almost like coil
13:18:47 <ralsina> I could do that using nikola and mod_wsgi in like 10 minutes
13:19:00 <ChrisWarrick> coil in full mode already solved this problem
13:19:11 <ralsina> running niikola build whatever/foo/bar when the user loads the page :-)
13:19:29 <ralsina> right, I meant a much *smaller* problem :-)
13:19:44 <gour> ChrisWarrick: that's good idea and i might write complaint to them indeed
13:20:57 <ChrisWarrick> ralsina: also, how is it better than your average PHP CMS + aggressive caching?
13:21:20 <ChrisWarrick> Then again: this is node.js.  Guaranteed to be crazy.
13:21:53 <gour> :-)
19:12:43 <polyzen> is there a way to have the footer shown lower?
19:17:50 <ralsina> polyzen: CSS?
19:18:02 <ralsina> like position: absolute or whatever
19:18:14 <ralsina> or margin-top: alotofpx
19:20:11 <polyzen> yeah
