MissingMaps Partner Pages

This repo contains the code for MissingMaps partner pages. Each page is a unique view of a MissingMaps partner and their contributions to MissingMaps projects.

Creating a new Partner Page

  1. Create new partner.md file in the _partner folder. Rename according to the partner and how you want the URL to look. For example, my-new-partner.md will have the url missingmaps.org/partners/my-new-partner. Use dashes - instead of underscores.

  2. All partner page data is contained within the yml frontmatter. Copy and paste the partner-example.md file. Edit all variables with new partner information. This repo has been set up with Prose.io to make this easier. You can edit the yml frontmatter there as well. See Updating Partner Information below for details on each variable.

  3. Add Partner Logo (SVG format) to to the assets/graphics/content/logos folder.

  4. Create a new partner folder in the _data folder. Each folder name must match the name of the file within the _partner folder.

  5. Create a events.csv file within each new _data folder. See Adding Events below for more details on the events.csv file.

Updating Partner Information

Partner information is located in app > _partners. For updating, duplicate partner_example and save the file as [partner.name].md

To update the page with the partner related information, edit the following fields:

Site Config

Field Changes
permalink This will be the end of the URL the partner page can be located at. Using /[partner.name]/ will make the link missingmaps.com/partner/partner.name/.
id What will be used to match the partner page to the events.csv. Needs to be the same as the folder containing this partner's events.
name Partner name. Displayed on the main page under logo.
logo Link to partner logo

Social These default to MissingMaps properties, and can be left as is if the partner doesn't have any of the following social accounts.

Field Changes
flickr Link to Flickr account of the Partner
twitter Link to Twitter account for the Partner
facebook Link to Facebook link for the Partner.
benevity Link to Benevity link for the Partner.

Custom links If you want to create a custom link, you can do so with the following code.

links:
  - title: Website
    link: http://www.youthmappers.org

Community

Field Changes
apikey API key for the page. Page creators can get one for their accounts here.
setId Id for the photo album partner wants displayed on their page. For example the id for the album at https://www.flickr.com/photos/126636925@N06/albums/72157665243501444 is 72157665243501444. The album must be made public for the api call to work.

OSMStats

Field Changes
primary-hashtag The overall hashtag for the partner. Used to populate the primary stats at the top of the page.
subhashtags Subhashtags that create the 'team' section. Must be in the format set in the example partner.

Partner Projects To display properly, this section must follow the format set in the example partner page of

tm-projects:
  - id: ###1
    desc: "description of project 1"
  - id: ###2
    desc: "description of project 2"
Field Changes
id The id for the HOT Task. For http://tasks.hotosm.org/project/1805, the id would be 1805.
desc Description of the project. We recommend using the text from the Tasking Manager. The site will limit how many characters are shown automatically.

Adding events

Events are stored in the app/_data folder. To add an event, edit the events.csv. You'll want to create a new folder that shares a name with the partner id.

When updating the csv of events:

  • Use yyyy-mm-dd format for date. The year must be 4 digits (may need to adjust display settings in Microsoft Excel). Otherwise, 15 may be interpreted as 1915 instead of 2015.
new Date("9/15/15")
Date 1915-09-15T04:00:00.000Z
new Date("9/15/2015")
Date 2015-09-15T04:00:00.000Z
  • Fields can be left blank if data does not exist or is TBD

  • Include the two letter country code to include the correct flag

Development

Environment

To set up the development environment for this website, you'll need to install the following on your system:

The environment requires ruby 2.4.1 or later.

$ rvm use 2.4.1

After these basic requirements are met, run the following commands in the website's folder:

$ npm install

Will also run bundle install

Getting started

$ gulp serve

Compiles the compass files, javascripts, and launches the server making the site available at http://localhost:3000/ The system will watch files and execute tasks whenever one of them changes. The site will automatically refresh since it is bundled with livereload.

The _config-dev.yml file will be loaded alongside _config.yml.

Other commands

Clean the compiled site. I.e. the _site folder

$ gulp clean

Compile the compass files, javascripts, and builds the jekyll site using _config-dev.yml. Use this instead of gulp serve if you don't want to watch.

$ gulp build

Compiles the site loading the _config-stage.yml alongside _config.yml. The javascript files will be minified.

$ gulp build-stage

Compiles the site loading the _config-prod.yml alongside _config.yml. The javascript files will be minified.

$ gulp build-prod
