A filtered-out directory card stayed visible. The card is targeted by an
id-based ready-state selector (`.js #directory[data-dir-state="ready"]
#dirGrid > .dev-card`, two ids), which outranked the old per-element patch
`.dev-card[hidden] { display:none }` — so `card.hidden = true` set the
attribute and every card stayed on screen while the count line correctly
read "Showing 1 of 4".
Fix: one rule, `[hidden] { display:none !important }`, early in /style.css.
A class- or id-based `display` can no longer beat the attribute, so this
cannot recur with the next class that sets `display`. The per-element
`[hidden]` patches are removed so a single mechanism governs:
- odoo-community-developers: cards + filter row + pager + modal
(load-bearing — each sets `display`); focus-sliders/noscript (redundant)
- index/de/es `.hero-notice[hidden]`, odoo-black-friday `.ads-consent[hidden]`
(redundant — those elements set no `display`)
Re-fingerprint local assets (style.css changed): /style.css?v 3332fbba93 ->
061517baef across 51 pages.
Measured in a real browser (local harness, stubbed webhook; no record created,
no probe write) — computed display + geometry, never the `hidden` property:
- filtered to one card: the other three report display:none and height 0;
the visible set (1) equals the count line ("Showing 1 of 4") — 1 == 1
- HEAD (pre-fix) reproduces the defect: 3 cards hidden=true yet display:flex,
height 599.38 each; 4 visible vs the count's 1
- pager: display:none height 0 with one page; display:flex height 66.83 with
12 cards (Page 1 of 2); page 2 hides page-1 cards (display:none)
- modals closed: display:none height 0; load state: cards 0, pager/empty
display:none, filter row visibility:hidden by design
- 375 px: same result, no horizontal overflow; avatar ask-row top identical
across a row (2053.97 / links 2086.91)
Part 1 — asset versioning: every local <script src> and <link rel=stylesheet> on the
tracked pages now carries ?v=<sha256-of-the-file> (10 hex), computed at BUILD time from
the file's bytes by work/build-asset-versions.py — never hand-typed, and idempotent
(re-running with no file change rewrites nothing). This is what makes an edited
focus-rule.js / photo-upload.js a new URL instead of a stale cache hit.
Part 2 — language facet: a language now counts for the Language filter only when its
0-5 self-assessment is >= LANG_FACET_MIN (3 = 'works in it'). The constant sits beside
the 15-point rule in the page script and its mirror in build-directory.py. Nothing
stored changes; the card's languages chart still prints every language above 0, the
search box is unchanged, and the facet stays an exact membership test against the
card's value. A '1' language no longer offers the person under that language.
- 13 tracked pages + the directory page's footer carry a new <li>
<a href="/odoo-community-developers/">Odoo Freelancer Directory</a>,
placed after "ODOO Hosting in 2027" (our service links together, before Support/Legal).
- The directory page itself is excluded (a page does not link to itself in its own footer).
- Removed the final Start / "Browse the freelancers" CTA section from the directory page;
the hero copy keeps its one "Browse the freelancers" link. .cmp-cta CSS untouched (11 pages).
Two user decisions (2026-11-03). The page is live.
1. The anonymous-contact modal is removed in full, not just its gate: its markup and
comment, the .contact-modal and .dev-anon-btn CSS, the JS (modalEls, openContactModal,
closeContactModal, initContactModal, enhanceContact), the two init-time calls and the
per-card render call. ODOO_EXPERTS_QUOTE_WEBHOOK is deleted — the only readers were the
two gates (initContactModal, enhanceContact) and the postTo inside the modal's own
submit handler; nothing else read it. The modal's lede ("We pass your request on ...")
goes with it, so no relay copy survives. Kept on purpose: the invite relay form and
ODOO_EXPERTS_INVITE_WEBHOOK, the OCA filter + badge, ODOO_EXPERTS_WEBHOOK, and the
card's direct "Email this freelancer" chip.
2. hello@odoo4projects.com is retired site-wide: 24 occurrences (mailto + visible text)
become support@odoo4projects.com, and the 12 support@ODOO4projects.com case variants
are normalised to lower case. oliver@odoo4projects.com is a freelancer's own published
contact address on their card and is left untouched.
Tests run: verify-html.py PROBLEMS 0; check-inline-js.py OK; competitor QC exit 3 with 74
pre-existing hits and 0 added; impeccable detect 1 -> 1 (identical, 0 new).
Same defect the bootcamp carried (2aa9b19), fixed site-wide in one mechanical pass.
P0 (17 pages): /style.css was deferred via media="print" onload=... -> unstyled
first paint -> a BODY layout shift. Now a normal render-blocking
<link rel="stylesheet">; the now-redundant no-JS <noscript> for style.css is
dropped. Web fonts + Font Awesome keep their legitimate deferral.
Pages: index.html, odoo-black-friday/, odoo-hosting-offers/, de/index.html,
es/index.html, odoo-hosting-2027.html (+de/+es), odoo-community-upgrade.html
(+de/+es), odoo-staging-environment/, odoo-community-ai/,
odoo-n8n-masterclass/, australia.html, workshops/, what-can-i-use-odoo-for/.
P1 (1 page): /odoo-black-friday/ footer form action mailto: -> CRM webhook
(Lighthouse is-on-https). Changed only because the page already loads a handler
for #footerContactForm (static/black-friday.js). The other 13 mailto-form pages
load no handler and are left alone on purpose (no drive-by handler copy-in).
Added the no-JS <noscript> fallback so a JS-off visitor keeps a path.
P2 (35 pages): add a single <main> landmark wrapping the primary content; top
bar and footer stay outside. Additive only, no redesign.
Guards held: bootcamp EN/DE/ES and every JS/static file untouched; Buy forms
product_id 4/17 intact; one [data-bc-seats]; ads-consent gate intact.
verify-html.py PROBLEMS 0; competitor QC 74 pre-existing, 0 added.
Plausible's click handler walks up from the clicked element and bails out the
moment it meets a <form>, so a plausible-event-name=Buy class on a
<button type="submit"> inside a plain form never fires Buy — the tracker sends
its automatic "Form: Submission" event instead and the goal records nothing.
Measured live on /odoo-erp-automation-bootcamp/ before this change:
{"n":"Form: Submission"}.
- odoo-erp-automation-bootcamp/index.html (3 CTAs): class moved from the
<button type="submit"> to the enclosing <form>.
- australia.html (2 CTAs): same move.
- de|es/odoo-erp-automation-bootcamp/index.html (3 forms each): the buy forms
carried no Buy marking at all, so the DE and ES bootcamp sales were invisible
to the goal. Class added to the <form>.
- odoo/upsell.html: the three .plan-btn buttons drive the same JS buy path and
were unmarked. A class on a plain <button> (not a form submit) does fire, so
it was added there and browser-verified. The disabled Trial button is left
unmarked.
Class attribute only: every button label, every form action and every basket
payload is byte-identical. No CSS or JS rule references the class.
Verified in a real browser (fetch shimmed, tracker's localhost/automation gates
bypassed): EN bootcamp 3/3, australia 2/2, DE 3/3, ES 3/3, upsell 1/1 clicks
each send exactly one {"n":"Buy"} to /api/event and never "Form: Submission".
Mark the six conversion goals on the self-hosted Plausible instance so the
events match the goals to be registered in Plausible. Event names verbatim:
Trial, FAQ, Buy, Custom Quote, search posts, Project Plan.
CSS-class markings (work without JS logic, on the clickable element):
- FAQ -> index/de/es index .faq-card; odoo-hosting-2027 + odoo-community-upgrade
(de/es twins) and australia <summary>; support.html .faq-question
- Buy -> index/de/es index .btn-buy anchors; australia + bootcamp native
post_basket submit buttons (forms stay native POST)
JS call markings in script.js (loaded by index, de/index, es/index):
- Trial on the successful trial-form POST (.then branch)
- Custom Quote on the successful custom-quote POST (.then branch)
- Project Plan on the successful business-wizard submit
- search posts on the FIRST input of #blogSearch only (guard flag, one per
pageview, not on every keystroke, not on #ocaSearch)
Nothing fires on page load; the 'Start the free trial' anchors that only
scroll to #trialCard are deliberately not tagged. One goal per topic across
all languages, no language suffix. No visual, behavioural or request change.
New flat landing page for Australian buyers, built from the approved Phase 2
copy with the five buyer-lens changes (R1-R5) applied. English only, no hreflang.
- australia.html: hero, five sections, four-plan pricing table (On the Rise
heroed), 7-question FAQ, final CTA band; house CI (midnight/brass/cream,
Marcellus + Inter), page-scoped CSS only.
- Buy CTAs are native POST forms to the live checkout with Australia (Sydney)
pre-selected (basket product_id 4, verified against the homepage card).
- images/city-sydney.webp: city-sydney.jpg resized 6720x2240 -> 1920x640,
9.8 MB -> 131 KB.
- index.html: the Sydney server card now links to the new page.
- sitemap.xml + llms.txt: page registered.
Evidence: verify-html.py PROBLEMS 0, verify-australia-page.py PROBLEMS 0,
JSON-LD parses, impeccable detect run (findings recorded).
