We've published the source code to q42.nl and q42.com here for your perusal.
If you find anything on our site that you feel needs fixing, be it code, spelling or anything else, don't hesitate to send us a pull request or create an issue. We maintain the site ourselves with the same workflow.
Sounds like it'll be a royal pain in the butt ey? Guess again amigo.
The hard bit since the repo is around ~220MB
git clone https://github.com/[YOURUSERNAME]/q42.nl.git
On Mac or Linux, run this:
curl https://install.meteor.com | /bin/sh
On Windows, just go to http://meteor.com/install and download the Windows installer!
Make sure your editor has support for .editorconfig, and .jshintrc.
Create a config/settings.json file containing the correct Tumblr and Kadira account information:
{
"TUMBLR_KEY": "myTumblrKey",
"kadira": {
"appId": "myKadiraAppId",
"appSecret": "myKadiraAppSecret"
}
}
The Tumblr key is required for the blog to not explode (even though you won't actually be able to see any posts without our real API key). If you misconfigure Kadira, you'll just get console errors.
cd q42.nl
meteor --settings config/settings.json
In order to get this working you need to call a Meteor method named setupChatConfig and pass it your incoming and outgoing webhook tokens from Slack. Or you can not do this, and then nothing will change except that the chat won't work.
First you need the following prerequisites:
- Git Flow, which you can get here: https://github.com/nvie/gitflow/wiki/Installation
- Access to the two environments on http://scalingo.com (q42nlsite and q42comsite). Ask rahul or lukas.
- Access to GCS bucket static.q42.nl at https://console.developers.google.com/project/504623166341/storage/browser. Ask rahul or lukas.
Then, add the two Scalingo Git Remotes:
git remote add scalingo-nl [email protected]:q42nlsite.git
git remote add scalingo-en [email protected]:q42comsite.git
Since you need to deploy to two separate sites (q42.nl and q42.com), there's a script which will take care of both commands. Just run:
./deploy.sh
Content for the site is located in the /views folder as regular .html files, so if you want to edit some content, just navigate to that file and edit it! A really fast way to clean up spelling mistakes and similar small problems is to just load the repository on Github and use its built-in editor to edit files. Github will automatically fork the project for you and submit a pull request. Yay!
