Zendesk Guide Pusher - DEPRECATED

Deprecated

This repository is deprecated. Please look at https://github.com/Cloudhuset/Zendesk-Guide-Theme-Boilerplate instead.

What is this?

A node module to help you push and download your Zendesk help center theme, in terms allowing you to version control your theme. Note that this is only for html, css and js. Assets and Appearance need to be handled in the Zendesk theme editor. At the time of writing, the theme editor is in Guide > Guide Admin > Customize design (Eye icon)

How to install

Node >= 4
Add this line to package.json dependencies:

"zendesk-guide-pusher": "git+ssh://git@github.com:Cloudhuset/Zendesk-Guide-Pusher.git#master"

Preparing config data

• Login to your Zendesk theme editor with chrome devtools open
• Go to the network tab and check "preserve log"
• Make a change to a file and click save
• Find the PUT request to https://yourdomain.zendesk.com/hc/admin/help_centers/{your_help_center_id}.
• Grab the Cookie and X-CSRF-Token from the request headers and the "help center id" and "theme id" from the response, keep them in this format: Note: Cookie and X-CSRF-Token will change everytime you login

  {
    HOST: '<yourdomain.zendesk.com>',
    HC_ID: '<your_help_center_id>',
    THEME_ID: '',
    COOKIE: '',
    CSRF_TOKEN: ''
  }
