Description

To test the content dashboard (only shown when it can't connect to the remote server), break the link in \src\Umbraco.Web.UI.Client\src\packages\core\backend-api\sdk.gen.ts (in NewsDashboardService). It should now look like this:

In the Settings section, we also moved to the Our forum:

And when doing an upgrade, the compare link ("View report) now also links to the new releases pages instead of to Our:

Additionally, I found some more links in some markdown files which have now been corrected.

There was also links in the HelpController - this one is no longer in use, it's an old one that eventually came from v7 I guess. I've removed it and it's unused reference in Swagger.

NoNodes.cshtml and NotFound.cshtml have been updated to point to the new forum.

I found a lot of completely unused translation items that referred to Our and removed those keys and also de-emphasized Discord as we would like people to do Q&A in the forum instead.

Thanks @nul800sebastiaan for cleaning this up, it's good to get it up to date for 17.

Apart from the small inline point, I noted that we have the forum now twice on the default boxes. Do you think something else could go in the bottom box?

@NillasKA - do you think you could check in with @nul800sebastiaan next week too please so we update the live news that comes of the marketing Cloud project, to also refresh the box that talks about our.umbraco.com? Marketing will run this moving forward, but it makes sense I think to get the default content about the community how devrel would like it. It doesn't have to be just one entry that spans 4 columns - could be 2 and 2 if that works better.

Ah yes, I just saw that as well, it was already doubles up apparently. We should probably point to the Community site instead there, as it will show all the other destinations into the world of Umbraco. I'll update!

I don't have the access to that site and I think we (DevRel) should work on that with Marketing before the v17 release. I'll coordinate!

Now updated it, replacing the double forum mention to a link to the community site. Also made the headings in the boxes a bit bigger and updated the descriptions to say something.. more descriptive 😉

Again, these only show up when the remote dashboard can't be loaded, so you need to break the link in /src/Umbraco.Web.UI.Client/src/packages/core/backend-api/sdk.gen.ts (NewsDashboardService) to test it out, or disconnect your internet. Anyway, you will see the following:

Had a second look with the updates, all looks good to me.

@AndyButland @nul800sebastiaan > The changes to the language files are technically breaking, too. However, I cannot imagine any people actually using those sections, so it may be OK to merge them in for this new major, so we don't have to carry them around for the entirety of the LTS?

[nul800sebastiaan]

@iOvergaard Since translations can be customized I would not consider these breaking changes, as they can be user-amended is they really miss these exact translation keys.

Ps. I will suggest that we need a descriptive breaking change policy as I've been unable to find one. For example, I'd have no idea how to mark translation keys as deprecated if we ever wanted to remove them properly.
