The 18F Site Manager is a resource the 18F Outreach team uses to manage different aspects of the 18F website and blog. It was originally created to help track the growth in authorship from month to month but has recently grown to include a status report of sorts on blog posts as they move through the approval process.
The project is currently hosted at https://blogalytics.18f.gov and is password-protected. Ask someone on the outreach team for the user name and password if you'd like access.
This is very much a work in progress. Ideally the near term future of this project will give the team insight into how long it takes each post to go through the publishing process from idea to published. The longer term would also allow us to visualize the posts that are in each stage and interface with the GitHub API to move posts from one phase to the next as they are ready.
First, request write access to the repository from a current member of the team. Then, generate a new API token by following the directions on github here.
After you've cloned this repo and made a Virtualenv with Python 2.x (soon to be 3.x), run:
pip install -r requirements.txt
You'll need to make your own local .env file and populate it with your GitHub username and authentication info.
cp .env-example .env
Unless you're using a tool like autoenv, you'll need to source .env
before running.
Then create the site-data-dev
database:
createdb site-data-dev
and set it up
python manage.py db upgrade
Run the server like so:
honcho start
Then you should be able to access the app at http://localhost:5000
