239 newsletter page rendering and functionality by danielmarv · Pull Request #277 · OpenElements/open-elements-website

danielmarv · 2026-02-12T19:30:28Z

This pull request introduces a new localized page for the "DLT & Digital Trust" lecture in German, along with related i18n updates. It also removes a significant number of legacy Hugo layout files and the Netlify configuration, indicating a move away from the previous static site generator setup, likely in favor of a Next.js-based architecture. Below are the most important changes:

New DLT Lecture Page and Localization

Added a new dynamic Next.js page at src/app/[locale]/dlt-lecture/page.tsx that displays the "DLT & Digital Trust" lecture content, only available in German (de). The page includes metadata generation, hero section, and detailed lecture information. (src/app/[locale]/dlt-lecture/page.tsxR1-R132)
Updated i18n files to include new translation keys for the DLT lecture in both German (src/i18n/de.toml) and English (src/i18n/en.toml). [1] [2]

Removal of Hugo Layouts and Static Site Artifacts

Removed the Netlify configuration file netlify.toml, indicating the project is no longer using Netlify or its build settings.
Deleted numerous Hugo layout files, including templates for 404 pages, articles, image rendering, link rendering, employee profiles, and more, as part of the migration away from Hugo:
- src/layouts/404.html
- src/layouts/_default/_markup/render-heading.html
- src/layouts/_default/_markup/render-image.html
- src/layouts/_default/_markup/render-link.html
- src/layouts/_default/article.html
- src/layouts/_default/baseof.html
- src/layouts/_default/list.html
- src/layouts/employees/single.html

Pull request overview

This PR continues the migration away from Hugo by removing legacy Hugo layout/shortcode/partial templates (and Netlify build config), while adding a new Next.js route for the German-only “DLT & Digital Trust” lecture and small i18n additions.

Changes:

Added a new localized Next.js page at src/app/[locale]/dlt-lecture/page.tsx (German-only) with metadata and page content.
Added new i18n keys for the lecture title in src/i18n/de.toml and src/i18n/en.toml.
Removed a large set of Hugo layouts/partials/shortcodes and netlify.toml as part of the Hugo → Next.js transition.

This internal link points to /de/about-hendrik, but there is no corresponding Next.js route under src/app/[locale] for about-hendrik (and it’s not present in public/ either), so it will 404. Link to an existing route (e.g. the current About page/section) or add the missing about-hendrik page/redirect as part of the migration.

Suggested change

Seit 2023 bietet <Link href="/de/about-hendrik">Hendrik Ebbers</Link> die Vorlesung{' '}

This page introduces a new public route (/dlt-lecture), but the sitemap generator (src/app/sitemap.xml/route.ts) currently hardcodes staticRoutes and does not include dlt-lecture, so the new page won’t be discoverable via sitemap. Add this route to the sitemap’s static route list (and any other route registries used for navigation/SEO).

+other = "DLT & Digital Trust Lecture (German only)"


The new [dltLecture] translation key is added here but is not referenced anywhere in the Next.js code (navigation uses digitalTrustLecture, and there are no t('dltLecture') usages). Either update the code/menu to use this key or remove it to avoid dead/duplicated i18n entries.

Suggested change

xl:max-w-1xl is not a valid Tailwind max-width utility (Tailwind ships max-w-xl, max-w-2xl, …). This class will be ignored, so the intended layout constraint won’t apply. Use an existing max-w-* value (e.g. align with other pages that use xl:max-w-6xl).
