Editing Events

Adding / Editing Events on GeekUp

The GeekUp website is powered by Jekyll, install this to (optionally, this is not require to edit) run the site locally. There is a rake task called 'rake server' run this from the cloned repo directory

Clone Github repot

git clone [email protected]:andrewdisley/GeekUp.git

Event filenames are as follows:

YYYY-MM-DD-EVENTID.html where EVENTID is the next number following on from a previous event.

Duplicate a previous event, update details, date and filename

Let’s say you want to add a new event happening on 2012-12-30 (30th December 2012).

Duplicate a previous event, for this we’ll duplicate 2012-05-14-343.html

Rename it to 2012-12-30-EVENTID.html (where EVENTID is the next unique number)

Edit the details inside the new html file, if the event has not yet passed set "upcomingevent: true" - once the event is passed this will need updating to "upcomingevent: false" to remove from 'Upcoming events" list.
