meme's Introduction

Statesman meme generator

The Statesman's meme generator is a lightly-modified fork of the Vox meme generator. It has been modified to work without Ruby (except Compass, which is required to run the build process).

Assets are now built using Grunt, which transpiles the SASS files and concatenates/minifies the JavaScript. We modified the app this way to make it more easily deployable on our internal infrastructure.

To assist in development, the default Grunt task also:

launches a local server at http://localhost:8000/
starts grunt-contrib-watch to watch index.html and the .js files in /source
Livereload is enabled if you are running the browser extenstions.

Deploying

Statesman images, fonts, etc. are currently in the app so you'll need to follow the steps below to customize the app for your use:

Add appropriate images to source/images/.
Edit the settings file at source/javascripts/settings.js.
Add any fonts you'll need at source/stylesheets/_fonts.scss.
npm install
gem install compass
Run grunt

A local server should open at http://localhost:8000/ where you can use the tool locally.

We run the project through GitHub pages to allow access to the newsroom. We deploy this with git push origin master:gh-pages.

As of May 2016, we have been merging changes only into the statesman master branch, and have not been pulling any Vox changes in. So if you work on a feature branch, be careful with pull requests. We merge using master as base, not Vox. - @critmcdonald

meme's Issues

Memeless crop?

From Eric Webb in response to a suggestion NOT to use the meme generator for Facebook thumbnails:

The resizing aspect of it is on-point! Which is why people use it, I think. But the logo/photo credit are unnecessary for a FB thumbnail, and I think it looks busy/junky and distracts from the rest of the post. So! If the meme generator could be used for its resizing capabilities and you could turn off the logo bug, that’d be neat. JStone sez 470 x 246 is the right size for a custom FB thumbnail.

Add local server for dev

Add somethign to grunt to launch a server, like cody did with leaflet map

Hookem logo updates

Per Jackie Stone: Apparently when we use the logo it’s always supposed to be the one with “from Austin American-Statesman” underneath it b/c of UT.

White version here, (though you can't see it.)

and orange:

We should also remove the Hookem+ logos.

Compass is incompatible with Sass?

I get this error whenever I use the grunt command:

Running "clean:css" (clean) task
>> 2 paths cleaned.

Running "clean:js" (clean) task
>> 2 paths cleaned.

Running "sass:dist" (sass) task
ERROR: Cannot load compass.
Warning: Exited with error code 1 Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

Update myStatesman logo

Change facebook size option

Jackie says the size is now 470x246

Add Hookem as option

Add politifact truth-o-meter logo as an option

Add slack message on publish to gh-pages?

fork for Cap10k

Need to make a copy of this for cap10k to make facebook profile photos.

Would like to have this toward the beginning of 2017.

The idea is that Todd Olsen could take this bundled code and put it on Rackspace with the WP instance of cap10k.com.

Add logos for ACNs

Austin Answered

Amanda wants to add a new site and logo for Austin Answered. She'll provide more information soon.

add new austin360 branding as watermark options

Add 512Tech as an option

Add Hookem+

Add Hookem+ as a brand choice.

Grunt not working.
