Guide to Modifying the HIPERFIT Web Site

Introduction

The HIPERFIT web site is based on Jekyll-Bootstrap, which again is based on Twitter Bootstrap, Jekyll, and Liquid. Bootstrap gives a standard set of CSS/Javascript tools and Jekyll gives us markdown support and a (very limiting) template system based on Liquid.

The site is hosted at github as http://hiperfit.github.io. We use the http://hiperfit.dk domain for the site, which has been enabled by directing the domain to the github IP and by placing a file CNAME (containing hiperfit.dk) in the root.

Modifying Web Site Content

To modify the Web Site content, one needs a github account name and authorization to push changes to the hiperfit.github.com repository.

Github has Jekyll and Liquid built-in, which means that once a changed is pushed to github, the site is rebuilt on github.

Structure

Images are stored into the images/ folder and papers (pdfs, etc) are stored into the pdf/ folder.

Creating New Posts

Posts are stored in the _posts folder. For creating a new post you can either run the command

rake post title="My Title" date="YYYY-MM-DD"

which will create an empty post file, or you can copy one of the existing post files - be sure to format the post file name correctly.

Creating New Pages

Pages can be stored in any folder (without a prefix underscore). For creating a new page you can either run the command

rake page title="My Title"

which will create an empty page file, or you can copy one of the existing pages. For inspiration on the markdown syntax, look at one of the existing .md-files.
