| Title: Edit Website |
| |
| The website uses the Apache CMS. More detailed documentation is available on |
| the Apache Infrastructure pages including a quickstart guide on the |
| [Apache bookmarklet][] and a [reference manual][]. It is also useful to look at |
| [other Apache CMS sites][] for examples. |
| |
| ## Process |
| |
| 1. Do an svn checkout of the website, for committers: |
| svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/cmssite/trunk rollersite |
| |
| For non-committers: |
| svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/cmssite/trunk rollersite |
| |
| 2. If the changes are structurally significant (many pages removed/added, etc.), |
| before committing to staging you may wish to test that the site still builds locally |
| by following [these instructions][]. |
| Note you will probably lose the CSS formatting with local builds due to the way |
| the stylesheets are referenced, check instead at staging (below) to ensure stylesheets are |
| working as intended. |
| If deleting a file or changing the name of a file make a trivial |
| edit to lib/path.pm or lib/view.pm to force a full site rebuild. |
| |
| 3. Commit a change to the website's source [Markdown][] files located in |
| <a href="https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/cmssite/trunk" class="external"> |
| https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/roller/cmssite/trunk</a>. If you're not a |
| committer, supplying a patch (svn diff -u > website.patch) to our JIRA issue tracker |
| instead will do. |
| |
| 4. Wait a few minutes to get the email on the commits list that buildbot has |
| rebuilt the [staging website][]. |
| |
| 5. If the change looks ok, publish the change to the production website by |
| |
| * (recommended method) Using the Apache bookmarklet: [Publish site][] |
| * curl -sL http://s.apache.org/cms-cli | perl on your local machine |
| * ssh -t <user\>@people.apache.org publish.pl roller <your Apache ID\> |
| |
| ## Style |
| |
| * Try to limit line length to 80 columns, fold -s <filename\> on Linux is |
| helpful for limiting line length |
| * Use links in the [link name][] style rather than [link name][1] because it |
| is more difficult to match up the numbers and removing links causes all the |
| numbers to have to get updated |
| * Indent with spaces not tabs |
| * Use * for lists and indent lists by 4 spaces |
