Website built with Pelican, using a PyCon-Israel-Flex theme based on Flex.
The Python side is managed by Poetry.
Use poetry install to get the dependencies.
The theme styling is built with gulp and other npm tools. If you want to change anything in the CSS,
- Preparation: Go to the folder
website_2024/themes/PyCon-Israel-Flex, and there run the commandnpm install - "Compilation" (mostly of the Less sources): Run the command
npm run build
When you want to build the site itself, use make html from the
website_2024 folder. It puts the built site in output. You
can use make clean to remove everything if you want to rebuild
from scratch; but it doesn't clean the theme files.
You can also use make devserver for the HTML, and npm run watch
for the styling -- these create watchers which update the output as
you change the source files.
The home page is currently defined in the templates
website_2024/themes/PyCon-Israel-Flex/templates/homepage.html and
.../homepage-he.html. In the original template that came with the
Flex theme, this page lists articles (blog posts), but we don't want
that. The original template was kept for reference as
index.html.orig. Also for reference, we kept the PyCon Israel 2023
home-page at
website_2024/content/pages/index.html.2023. Technically, the home
page is defined like other pages, using files homepage.md and
homepage-he.md in content/pages, but these only contain metadata
(language, selection of template, etc).
Other interesting files to look at:
- The settings are defined in
website_2024/pelicanconf.py(we are not publishing yet, "production" should usepublishconf.py) - The sidebar is defined in
website_2024/themes/PyCon-Israel-Flex/templates/partial/sidebar.html - The footer (currently still default, to be changed) is in
website_2024/themes/PyCon-Israel-Flex/templates/partial/footer.html - All (non-partial) templates extend
website_2024/themes/PyCon-Israel-Flex/templates/base.html-- that means that template defines structure for everything.

- The intention is to have our theme serve many years, so we're keeping on the side a repo of the theme alone. You can mostly ignore it for now -- work inside the website repo; but that's why we try to keep things like the year in settings rather than the template source.
