SuttaCentral 2021: we are live!

Thank you so much, Bhante!

I’m also letting my German-speaking friends know that the site now has good support for German.

Sādhu, Sādhu, Sādhu!

Hello @sujato,
Please let me know when you have a provisional indexed URL, and I’ll begin testing.
Thanks!
David.

Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu! It had to be a lot of work with a lot of people involved. Thank you Bhante Sujato, Ajahn Brahmali and the rest of the team and supporters for bringing it to us. :anjal:

It indeed works much faster, which is a great help, especially when using in places where connection is worse (like during a travel by train etc.).

In general I think it looks much better right now and is more intuitive. I find it more inviting to explore right now. :slight_smile: I also like that even the chapters of nikayas were translated into english, it helps remember whats what.

What is also a great new feature for me is that it is easier now to link Bhante Sujato translation in a particular paragraph, just by clicking on the segment number it immediately gives link to this particular place.

My only concern is with the fact that when I use it on computer (windows 10, google chrome), I cannot turn off segment number view on Bhante Sujato translations. It is unfortunate, because when you’d like to copy the text to a friend or to your hard drive notepad or something, it copies with the numbers, so then you need to remove them manually if you want plain text. I also think it would be great to be able to view it plain just for sake of aesthethics if someone likes to. I would personally preffer version without sugmented numbers, and just turn them on only when I’d like to link particular paragraph to someone.

On the other hand, when I’m using phone (android, CM browser), I don’t see segmended numbers and can’t turn them on.

Is this issue already looked into? :slight_smile: If not, I just wanted to express that it would be great if there was an option to turn off and on visibility of segmented numbers on all devices/browsers. Especially to be able to turn off their visibility on a computer.

Aside from that, it is truly marvelous job and I feel that new version is a beautiful upgrade :yellow_heart: :anjal: Much mudita for this samma kammanta. :pray: I hope it brings great merit to those who created it, and to those who use it. :pray:

I had the same until I saw this…

Select ‘None’ for references and you’ll be back to Zen mode viewing :slight_smile:

Thank you :smiley: I did not notice this, because I didn’t see the scroll bar at the bottom of the “views” menu. Now everything makes sense. :smiley:

Allright, so for me new Suttacentral is absolutely perfect. :yellow_heart: :anjal: I’m actually reading suttas everyday right now btw., it’s absolutely my favorite website presenting words of my favorite “person” - the Buddha! :grin: Thank you SuttaCentral! :partying_face:

Sadhu! Thank you Suttacentral! :anjal:
Except now the bilinear and parallel viewing options for texts are not working for me. What to do?
Thank you.
Dana :pray:

I have the same problem and I use google chrome as my browser.

@sujato Bhante, you may be (painfully?) aware that the check boxes don’t behave logically, namely that if you check “none” other boxes remain checked.

I have “none” selected for references. Just now after your suggestion I selected “none” for Show notes and variants in segmented texts and it works fine.
Thanks for the suggestion.
With Metta

Thank you for the suggestion — I had the same problem on firefox and safari for MacOs, where I have to select one of the “Show notes and variants in segmented texts” boxes to get the pali line by line to work. Perhaps this should be fixed? I bet a lot more people are going to get confused by this.

We’ll review how these options work, thanks!

Yes, after I selected the 2nd or 3rd option in the 'Show notes and…" it works beautifully! It works both in Google Chrome and on the mobile Android.
:slightly_smiling_face: :pray:

I am not sure if this was mentioned before, but the Subject Indexes have no links nor sutta references which is quite disorienting. Is this a bug? Are things being re-Indexed so we would have to wait? Otherwise, I am loving the new website!

Me and a few of my other dharma friends are getting the same result when going to the Subject Index. Here is a screenshot for context:
