haxe.org

This is the code base for the https://haxe.org website.

Contributing Content

On the website there is a "Contribute" link on the footer of each page. Clicking this link will take you to the relevant file in this repository, or the relevant file in the HaxeManual repository.

You can then edit using Github's online file editor and submit a pull request. You can also fork the repo and edit on your local machine with your preferred text editor, which may be easier for large integrations.

Adding a blog post

Add a file named YEAR-MONTH-DAY-name.md in posts/.

The first part of the file contains the post metadata:

title: The title of your post
author: Author id
description: The description of your post
background: Optional image filename used as background for the post header
published: true/false, if true it'll apear in the blog post list/rss feed
tags: Comma separated of tags id
disqusID: Unique id number used for comments, take the number of the last post and increment it by one
---

The author id should be listed in people.json:

{
  "username": "the user id used in the post",
  "name": "Your Name",
  "bio": "One line bio about you"
}

The background image should be stored in www/img/blog/backgrounds/.

The tags should be listed in posts/tags.json:

{
  "tag": "the tag id",
  "name": "the tag display name",
  "description": "the tag description, shown on the tag post list"
}

The post needs to have the --- and the blank line between the metadata and the content.

The content of a post is in markdown, but you can include some html. If you do it needs to be valid xml, so all tags needs to be closed: <br /> is okay but <br> is not, and you can't have value-less attributes: <tag fullscreen="" /> is okay but <tag fullscren /> is not.

To include an image in markdown: ![Title](name.png). The image should be stored in www/img/blog/YEAR-MONTH-DAY-name/.
