Varia website

Cloning

The folder 'plugins' is linked to the Pelican project 'pelican-plugins' repository. To clone both the varia.website and pelican-plugins repository, add the --recurse-submodules option in your git clone command:

git clone https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/varia.website.git --recurse-submodules

Update submodules

We are currently using two submodules:

plugins (https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins)
plugins-custom (https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/rra/plugins-custom)

To update these submodules within your (already) cloned repository, first init the submodule, and then update it:

cd /path/to/submodule

git submodule init

git submodule update

Posting Content

We're using a platform called pelican to generate static websites. The main way to add content to the website is by making 'posts' in the folder content

This can be done either locally or via the gitlab page by creating a new file.

Make sure that each article contains at least the following at the top of the document:

Title: een nieuw initiatief
Date: 2017-07-07 18:32
Category: news
slug: the name of the html page
lang: nl or en

Articles are written in a language called markdown. Here is an overview of the syntax. You can also use the online editor in gitlab to help you.
