Marketing site links

Hi Melissa ,

Using "new.investorstatelawguide.com" as the domain for the application during the beta period is fine with me. I assume we'll be able to transfer everything to investorstatelawguide.com when we retire the legacy application?

Also, could you confirm that these will be secured pages: https://new.investorstatelawguide.com
 
Thanks,

Morgan 

Hi Morgan   and Melissa ,

The above plan seems good. As we can not change anything in current existing legacy application.

Please confirm to us about new beta version domain name as we need to send request to Carbon 60 team to create new domain and then will deploy the rebuild.islg code to the new domain (
https://new.investorstatelawguide.com)  once it will be created by carbon 60 team.

Hello all, 

Further to the discuss this morning, it appears that the plan proposed above will not work, because it will not allow us to use http://www.investorstatelawguide.com for the new marketing site. As a results, we have proposed the following:

This would then allow the new marketing sight to assume the URL: https://www.investorstatelawguide.com.

Thanks,

Morgan

Hi Morgan ,

We will discuss this on Monday's call and update you accordingly. I believe Ketan  is looking into whether legacy.investorstatelawguide.com will work for the legacy app. 

Ok. Sounds good. Thanks Savannah ​.

HI Morgan , Savannah ,

I have discussed with Harsh on changing domain names as proposed by Morgan. However, this seems a bit tricky task to find current legacy app url in legacy application code and we are not sure what related changes we need to make to run application smoothly. Harsh is currently looking into it to check feasibility of this task along with other priority tasks and should update on this by this week. 

Thanks,

Ok. Thanks for the update Ketan .

Note that changing the legacy application URL would have to happen eventually, because we would need the new ISLG to assume the www.investorstatelawguide.com domain eventually. Doing it now may save us more headaches down the road.

Thanks,

Morgan

HI Morgan ,

I can understand your point here but at the same time want Team to focus on our deliverables of ISLG issues & feedbacks to be finished first.

Also, as Harsh is looking into the impact of this change as well to give you clear idea what and how many changes we require to do so. We will share you details asap on this.

Thanks,

Hi Morgan ,

During our team meeting on Thursday, you mentioned the domain new.investorstatelawguide.com was set up with Carbon60 which raised a red flag for me..

So Mel, Naomi and I had a meeting with the dev team today to finalize how the marketing site will fit in with the domain and have confirmed the following:

Since new.investorstatelawguide.com is set up on Carbon60 server, we cannot use it for both the marketing site (since it is hosted on a separate server on Digital Ocean) and the new application. 

We discussed migrating the marketing site to Carbon60, but since these are completely different setups, these entities cannot live on the same server as they have different requirements. This is an unfortunate drawback of using a CMS that gives you the ability to edit content, versus a custom built website with no editing ability within the application. 

In our conversation with the dev team, we propose:

Using the domain app.investorstatelawguide.com for the application, and new.investorstatelawguide.com for the marketing site (we have confirmed that it is possible to use this domain if it is not being used for the app).

The marketing site pages that are fed in from the app will have the app.investorstatelawguide.com domain.

Once the legacy app is no longer using investorstatelawguide.com, the marketing can then assume this domain. However, the fundamental problem is that the site and app cannot share the same domain since they are on separate servers due to their different requirements.

I understand this is not the experience you were hoping for and I apologize that neither the Industrial nor DevIT teams caught this earlier.

Let me know your thoughts or if you have any questions.

Hi Savannah ,

Ok. Makes sense, and your proposed solution sounds fine. So should we proceed as follows?

This would ultimately result in the marketing site existing on www.investorstatelawguide.com and the application existing on app.investorstatelawguide.com

Make sense?

Morgan

Morgan - Yes, exactly. 

OK. Sounds good, Savannah . I'll send instruction to Carbon60 today about step #1.

Also, how should we deploy a version of the marketing site on staging.investorstatelawguide.com? I'd like get this up an running this week with all the public application pages connected, because we haven't seen these running yet.

Thanks,

Morgan 

Hi Savannah ,

I've put in the request to Carbon60 to remove new.investorstatelawguide.com and add app.investorstatelawguide.com. 

Let me know how you want to setup the marketing site on staging.investorstatelawguide.com. I assume we'll need another subdomain for the site. Perhaps: cms.investorstatelawguide.com?

Thanks,

Morgan
