Web-Links in Footer

Fri, 11 May 2018 23:38:06 +0200

Hello, !Hubzilla Support Forum !

Is it possible to create a global footer with (web) links for my complete Hub?

Or can I place links elsewhere in a way that they remain visible on any site within my hub?

hi @Thomas Runge (and can I cross-post this to @Hubzilla Development, !Hubzilla Development ?)

I'm playing with the templates and have a prof-of-concept (modern browsers only, and no idea why javascript is written on the page at https://hub.ax9.eu/channel/jens???) method of a permanent footer at https://hub.ax9.eu/pubstream

In addition to the footer, I have changed some colors and added a webapp manifest so that on mobile devices you can "install" the hubzilla site as an icon on homescreen and it runs like an "app" (tried in Android Firefox)

It can be tested by installing like this and enabling the theme ax9clean in the hub administration /admin/themes/

There used to be a static page footer region and plugins to make use of it; but then we started doing endless scroll and we had to deprecate it. These aren't very compatible.

I doubt it's the endless scrolling, but I have to fight heavily against bootstrap and bootstrap-induced html structure, weird css like "display: table-cell" and such.

What would I need to override in a theme to get cleaner HTML output that doesn't depend on bootstrap? Too much I'm afraid

It isn't free past the trial period, but I know the developers at work have used BrowserStack for cross-browser (including phone browsers) testing.

!Hubzilla Support Forum Has anybody thought about what the #GDPR means for us hub-operators?

Especially the #RightToErasure will be hard to fulfill in a decentralized server network, won't it? Is it enough for the user to be able to delete his channel or account?

It's you who has got the power, nobody else.

Sure, since it is my server -- but what about "my" users? ;D

Suppose somebody asks me to be erased from my servers database. Would it be enough to tell him "just delete your account, the software does the rest?"

And what about federated posts? Will they be deleted, too, if the user decides to delete his or her account on another server?

Hubzilla/ZOT does federate deletions. However if your post circulated to networks that don't, we can't help you a lot. However I don't think right to erasure applies to information a server does not hold. If you asked your server to transmit that info to somebody else's, it becomes your problem with that other person's server if you want it deleted.

Yeah... And what about federated posts in my server -- are they gonna be deleted, if the user deletes bis vor her account (in any protocol available)?

If not I need a possibility to erase the users post from my database, don't I?

ZOT has deletion. Other protocols might not have. In those cases of the user contacts you and proves you he is who he says he is, you might have to remove the posts from the database.

However, it's kind of a grey are when you talk about posts. Yoy may claim that it's your copy of a post you received, and as long it's not public it is your data as much as it's theirs. You can't ask me to delete all emails you sent me.

So perhaps instead of deleting you will simply make them not public. That's really grey area.

And, of course, for all I said, IANAL.
