Things to Know

  • We use Markdown that uses Jekyll front matter for most of the content of this website.
  • Most of the time, you can write HTML directly into your markdown if you need to customize something.
  • We support native Liquid tags.
  • Unpublished work should be shared via a pull request. Feedback will be given in comments, and you can push commits to the same branch until your pull request is accepted.

Front Matter

The front matter for pages like sponsors, blog posts, and organizers contains custom variables for each item, located between the triple-dashed lines. The values should be in quotes, example: name: "Bugs Bunny". Here are a list of possibilities:

Organizers

Organizers are stored in _organizers.

  • layout: Which HTML layout from _layouts/ this page should use. Should be base
  • name: Full name as you want it to appear on the website
  • role Your title for the conference
  • photo_url: The path to your photo
  • github: Your GitHub username
  • twitter: Your Twitter handle
  • website: The URL for your website

Pages

Pages are stored in _pages/ and correspond to the different HTML pages on the website, like Speaker Information and FAQs.

  • layout: Which HTML layout from _layouts/ this page should use. Most of the time this will be base
  • title: Title of the page. Appears in the browser window.
  • heading: Title of the page. Appears at the top of the body of the page.
  • permalink: The URL path
  • testimonial_img: A path to the image you want to use for the photo hero section
  • testimonial_img_mobile: Same as testimonial_img, but for mobile
  • hero_text_align: How you want the text in the photo hero to be aligned

  • description: A description of this page

Places

Places refer to the restaurants and merchants we recommend on the Venue page and are stored in _places.

  • layout: Which HTML layout from _layouts/ this page should use. Most of the time this will be base
  • name: Name of the place
  • hidden: true or false for whether we should be displaying this place
  • photo_url: The path to the photo used to represent this place
  • location: Street address
  • distance: From the venue, in miles
  • map: Link to the Google map for this place
  • website: URL for this place's website
  • description: A brief description of this place

Schedule

Each session in the schedule (each talk, each breakfast slot, etc.) is stored as its own file in _schedule/ and in the relevant subdirectory sprints/, talks/, tutorials/. The filename of each file follows this format: YYYY-MM-DD-HH-II-description.md, so breakfast on September 19, 2023 at 8:00 AM would be 2023-09-19-08-00-breakfast.md.

This first set of front matter elements applies to all sessions, including meals and quiet rooms.

  • layout: Which HTML layout from _layouts/ this page should use. For schedule objects, most of the time this will be session-details.
  • accepted: true or false for whether this session has been accepted and should be displayed on the website
  • category: talks or tutorials
  • date: Start date and time of session with the UTC offset, example 2023-09-22 8:00:00 -0500 for September 18, 2023 at 8:00 in Pacific time
  • end_date: End date and time of session with the UTC offset
  • permalink: The URL path for this page. Leave blank if this session (like Quiet Room) should not link to its own page
  • room: The name of the room this session takes place in
  • sitemap: true or false for whether this session should appear in the sitemap. false for most sessions.
  • title: Title of the session

The front matter elements listed below apply to all sessions with a speaker.

  • abstract: The abstract for the sessio
  • difficulty: Difficulty level of the session

Sponsors

Each sponsor is storted as its own file in _sponsors/. The filename follows this format: YYYY-MM-DD-name.md with the date being the date the sponsor signed their contract or paid their invoice, so sponsors are rendered in the order they sign up.

  • layout: Which HTML layout from _layouts/ this page should use. Most of the time this will be base.
  • hidden: true or false for whether this sponsor should be hidden on the website
  • name: Sponsor name
  • level: What level the sponsor is sponsoring at

Liquid Tags

We support native Liquid tags. The ones you will use most often include:

{{ var }}

The double-moustache indicates a variable. You can use the variables in the front matter, or variables from _config.yml. To use variables from _config.yml, prefix with site:

{{ site.contact_us_email }} will render as "hello@djangocon.us"

{% if %}

If you have used Django, you'll be pleased to know the {% if %} tag is very similar. Example:

{% if sponsor.level == "Gold" %}This is a Gold sponsor{% endif %}

{% for %}

The {% for %} tag also works very similarly to how it does in Django. To cycle through a collection (like all the places, for example), would look like this:

{% for place in site.places %}
  {{ place.name }}, {{ place.location }}
{% endfor %}

Other tags

Look into assign and see it used in the sponsors footer.
