Get excited and learn to build the web!

We've given you pull & push access to the site. You can basically copy an existing event page and change the details to match yours. This can be done in a separate branch, but it's ok to make changes directly to master, too. :)

There's also a bunch of things anyone can work on the Issues section. Many of them are easy, quick tasks like updating stuff.

Find a file called event-template.html. Copy this file and make a new one with your cityname.

The site will be automatically published every 5 minutes (see when the site was updated last. Notice that the site needs to be accessible all the time and all around the world. Test your changes and be careful when pushing new commits. If the site breaks or you encounter a problem, ping us on [email protected] and someone should run over to help ; )

You need to update two places.

1. Add your city to railsgirls.com/events/events.json and add your event in chronological order with the newest at the top of the file. Please enter all the fields and keep the same logic.
2. Add your city to railsgirls.com/events.html

Add your city picture rg-yourcityname.png. Add it to /images folder.

Steps to Show on Site

1. Go to style.css
2. Add two lines, always replacing 'yourcityname' with your actual city name.

.yourcityname#promo {
  padding-left:340px;
  background:url('../images/rg-yourcityname.png') no-repeat 0 10px,
                 url('../images/separator.png') no-repeat center bottom;
}

It will take a while before the changes show, so don't panic!

• Did you remember to change Twitter & Facebook details?
• Did you include a Code of Conduct?
• Did you remember to add an e-mail where people can contact you?
• Did you remember to add your event to events.json and events.html?
• Did you add your city to the Map?

✨ Your event will automatically no longer show in the homepage once the date has gone by. ✨

You can check your modification on localhost with WEBrick. WEBrick
