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,

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.

The blog was an island: zero post→page links to hosting/upgrade/support/courses,
and only one page→post link in the whole site. Posts ranked for nothing while the
old blog host ranked for our long-tail queries.
Posts → pages (26 new in-body contextual links across 17 posts):
each post now carries one or two links to the page that answers its reader's next
question — odoo-hosting-2027, odoo-community-upgrade, support, the workshops hub,
the n8n masterclass, and the plan pricing on index.html#pricing.
Pages → posts (7 pages, one contextual link each):
index.html (OCA section), odoo-hosting-2027, odoo-community-upgrade, support,
workshops/, odoo-n8n-masterclass/, odoo-erp-automation-bootcamp/ now link into the
post that fits their own subject. The clearest miss is fixed — the
community-vs-enterprise-cost post and the odoo-community-upgrade page now link
to each other.
Anchors wrap existing sentences where the text already said the thing; four short
linking sentences were added (index OCA section, support first-steps FAQ, masterclass
lessons, bootcamp included section). No new components, no related-posts widget,
in-body anchors only. English pages only; DE/ES untouched (translator follow-up).
Browser measurement on the live page: with plausible-event-name=Buy only on the
<button type="submit">, clicking it sends Plausible's automatic "Form: Submission"
event and no "Buy". With the class on the enclosing <form> the click sends exactly
one {"n":"Buy"}. The button keeps its class as specified; the form now carries it as
well, so the Buy goal fires once per click.
Same behaviour measured on the live bootcamp page (its three CTAs also emit only
"Form: Submission") - left untouched, reported as a site-wide follow-up.
Two directory URLs Google still has indexed were 404ing after the old site was
torn down. Both are rebuilt as trailing-slash directories (same model as
/odoo-erp-automation-bootcamp/, so the non-slash form 301s to the slash form).
odoo-n8n-masterclass/index.html
- copy from copywriter, structure and page-scoped CSS reused from the bootcamp page
- next session: four Thursdays of February 2027, 17:00 Central Time (hero eyebrow,
price and booking, JSON-LD startDate 2027-02-04)
- booking: native POST form to 20.odoo4projects.com/shop/post_basket, basket
product_id 44, zero JavaScript, three CTAs
- n8n environment corrected: we do not hand out n8n workspaces; the participant
uses n8n's own free plan. Body, hero fact, FAQ and JSON-LD say so plainly.
- JSON-LD Course + FAQPage; Plausible snippet; FAQ and Buy markings
workshops/index.html
- hub page, two cards (masterclass USD 120.00 / bootcamp USD 465.00), pull quote,
routing section, FAQ, comparison table
- the bootcamp card carries no term or date; the "ERP Automation Quick Wins" free
offer is gone entirely (no card, no 1-hour format, no /free-webinar link)
- JSON-LD ItemList; Plausible snippet; FAQ markings
SEO: canonical to the slash URL, OG tags, the bootcamp's font/style.css loading
pattern, sitemap.xml (+2 urls, lastmod 2026-10-28, bootcamp lastmod bumped for the
two links added there), llms.txt (+2 lines). Cross-linked both ways and both to the
bootcamp; the bootcamp page gains the inbound links.
English only. No DE/ES twins yet - translator follow-up.
