# CoTech Website
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
This is an attempt at porting the current Wordpress version of the [CoTech Website][] to be statically generated using [Jekyll][] and served on [Github Pages][].
|
|
|
|
I've mostly done this by capturing (28 Jun & 01 Jul) the rendered HTML and associated assets and then making the HTML "dynamic" using [Liquid][] tags where appropriate. I decided to do it this way rather trying to do it from scratch based on the [existing source code][cotech-website-repo], because it gave me more confidence that I had captured everything generated by Wordpress.
|
|
|
|
I've stripped out a bunch of Wordpress-related boiler-plate code which I don't think is needed and I've converted the top-level static content pages from HTML to [Markdown][] to make them easier to maintain.
|
|
|
|
## Work left to complete port
|
|
|
|
* Add data & assets for all co-ops, services, technologies & clients - I've only added a few so far
|
|
* Re-add Piwik tracking code - I removed this to avoid confusing the metrics for the current website
|
|
* Remove instances of `{{ site.github.url }}` - only necessary while hosting at non-root path
|
|
* Double-check paths haven't changed
|
|
* Double-check I haven't missed anything, e.g. are [these Wordpress plugins][cotech-website-wp-plugins] really not used
|
|
|
|
## Tidying up / improvements
|
|
|
|
* Rationalise assets directories - `assets/css`, `assets/js` & `assets/img` seems to be a standard pattern
|
|
* Use SCSS source for CSS e.g. [web/app/themes/coop-tech-oowp-theme/assets/scss/*.scss][cotech-website-scss-directory]
|
|
* Automatic geo-coding of co-op addresses - currently latitude & longitude have to be entered manually
|
|
* Reduce duplication in Mapbox-related JavaScript
|
|
* Fix bug in Mapbox-related JavaScript on service/technology pages - exists on current website
|
|
|
|
## Further work
|
|
|
|
* Add a sitemap - the current site doesn't have one
|
|
* Add a blog with RSS feed
