Gatherings joins the nav; gallery tiles go visual; suite heroes center; WP fixes

HighGitHub home & brand 3 min readBy Christopher W with LittlebirdAI
TL;DR: The suite's navbar now has a Gatherings group (Convention, Galleries, Schedule, Live stream) and the More panel reads as a tree instead of a mile-long list. The gallery page trades its text marquee for six illustrated preview tiles and matches the hub's header and footer. Convention heroes center-align suite-wide, the galleries CTA goes loud, and the story grows past 2026. On WordPress: the home button reads "View the Convention Hub" and the propagating teaser lost its dead emoji for a real checkmark, now linking to gallery.psychedelicsinrecovery.org.
What changed →

🧭 The navbar: Gatherings, parents and children (hub kit)

  • arrival/org.js gains a Gatherings nav group: Convention, Galleries, Schedule, Live stream — each with its own icon and note. The kit’s More panel renders group parents as headers with children offset beneath, so nothing grows into a vertical mile.
  • Convention and Galleries are now registered sites in the kit, so their welcome cards speak in the suite’s voice.
  • Footer “Explore” lists Convention and Galleries too.
  • New arrival/more-tree.css, injected by org.js next to itself on every suite page: parent labels, children indented with a hairline rule.
  • Verified byte-perfect after push: the diff against the previous org.js shows exactly the four intended insertions and nothing else.
  • The text marquee became an image-tile track: six hand-built SVG previews (the opening ceremony, panels & speakers, the first hug in person, candlelight meetings, art & creativity, fellowship dinners), looping gently, captions on hover, pausing on hover, and honest about being placeholders — a note says real photos take their places as albums come in.
  • Header and footer now use the hub’s chrome (.wrap / .brand / .pir-foot), so the gallery finally wears the same navbar and footer as psychedelicsinrecovery.github.io.
  • Hero centers per the suite preference.
  • The dead Drive folder is gone from index and walkthrough: the send-it-in path now goes through PIR’s contact page — send photos to a trusted servant and they place them with care.
  • Six SVG tiles live at assets/placeholders/tile-1.svg … tile-6.svg.

🎪 The Convention site: louder, longer, centered (convention-astro)

  • Centered heroes across the site (chrome CSS override): kicker, heading, lede, facts and CTAs all align center.
  • “The gallery” button is now “The Convention Galleries” — first in the row, gold→violet gradient, a soft glow, and an arrow that steps on hover.
  • Two new cards complete the What-happened grid at six: The gallery is growing and The story continues in 2027 — the site now reads as the home of PIR®’s conventions, with Denver 2026 as the highlighted first chapter rather than the only one.
  • The gallery page’s dead Drive link became the walkthrough link.

🏠 WordPress (home page, ID 9572)

  • “View the Announcement” → “View the Convention Hub” (link already correct).
  • The propagating teaser’s dead 🗸 emoji (U+1F5F8, a glyph many system fonts lack — it showed as a box) is now an inline SVG checkmark, font-independent, and its link points at gallery.psychedelicsinrecovery.org instead of the GitHub URL. “Will be live shortly” stays true for now: the vanity domain wasn’t resolving yet at publish time (Pixieset CNAME/SSL still propagating).

🧩 Notes for the next pair of hands

  • Verify the live URL, not just the raw file: GitHub raw returns 200 the moment a commit lands, but Pages can lag a minute behind — and one earlier “done” was checked against raw only. Cache-busted curls of the deployed pages caught everything this time.
  • Writing Elementor elements on one page stays strictly sequential; reads can parallelize.
  • The get_page_html tool result can truncate at the head — for body-level verification, curl the live URL with a cache-buster instead.
  • The Google Drive folder 1zUL1fHkDlWJLKrtHzfToceFoFl-PiTu is confirmed 404. Until a permanent intake home exists, the send-it-in path via the contact page is the canonical way in.
