Section-specific instructions

Instructions for maintaining specific sections of the website.

Adding user stories

User stories are located under content/outreach/stories.

To add a new user story, add a new directory with the story's pseudonymous name. In that directory two files are required, portrait.png and contents.lr containing the story text.

For the portrait, generate one manually from the CC0 OpenPeeps illustration library. It should be resized to a 220px-sided square. A portrait from another story may also be re-used.

For the story content, the contents.lr file should be formatted as follows:

---
_model: story
---
html: outreach-story.html
---
section: Stories
---
section_id: stories
---
title: <title>
---
category:

<category>
---
summary: <summary>
---
body:

<body>

Replace the placeholders as follows:

  • <title>: Capitalized pseudonymn for this story
  • category: one or more of activism, anti-censorship, civic-participation, encryption, freedom-of-information, healthcare, lgbtqia, online-safety, preace-of-mind, press-freedom, privacy (as defined in databags/story-categories.ini), one category per line
  • <summary>: text shown on the index page below the portrait (one or two short phrases)
  • <body>: full story content (the first paragraph will be automatically "featured")

These steps can be done directly in the GitLab Web IDE: simply create a new branch, enter the editor environment, create the directory, add/edit the needed files and finally, create and push a new commit. GitLab will then offer the option to create a merge request. Once the MR is created, a "review app" will be deployed allowing to preview the changes.

Adding training guides for training resources

Each training resource can optionally have a training guide. You can create a training guide for a particular resource by creating a new lektor contents file with the path content/training/resources/<resource name>-guide/contents.lr. So to create a guide for a resource called all-about-tor, you would create content/training/resources/all-about-tor-guide/contents.lr. Here's an example contents file for a training guide:

_model: resource
---
title: All About Tor Training Guide
---

Design

The community-generator plugin

This lektor site uses a special plugin called community-generator, you can find it in the packages directory. This plugin generates a special set of lektor contents files used for a js-free filtering system on the training resources page.

You shouldn't need to do anything or know anything about this plugin in order to use it. If you want to develop on this plugin, see the plugin's README.
