[DEPRECATED] PHP South West UK User Group

See phpsw/phpsw-symfony5 for the replacement project.

A simple Silex-based website for the PHP South West UK User Group.

Prerequisites

• PHP >=5.4
• Node.js
• Redis
• Graphicsmagick

Setup

git clone https://github.com/phpsw/phpsw.git
cd phpsw
brew install graphicsmagick
composer install
npm install
bower install
gulp build
app/console redis:restore-fixtures

Note: if you do not have bower or gulp installed globally binaries can be found in

phpsw/node_modules/.bin/

Config

If you're forking this for your own meetup, you'll need you set up your own secrets.yml to pull in your own content from Meetup & Twitter:

# config/secrets.yml
meetup:
    api:
        key: changeme

twitter:
    access_token: changeme
    access_token_secret: changeme

    api:
        key: changeme
        secret: changeme

Data

Almost all of the data we store in Redis can be considered disposable, the tasks overwrite most of it on each run. This is true of everything except the hash phpsw:slides, where Redis is the primary store for this data (Meetup has no concept of talks or slides).

As part of processing the data pulled in, we parse event descriptions based on a common syntax used across PHPSW events in order to derive talks, speakers and associated social profiles for each event (or at least the recent ones), and link in any slides we have stored.

In dev this parsing is done on-the-fly when rendering the page, in production we do it when the meetup:import:all task is ran, so that the parsed data is cached in Redis and simply read when serving requests. The phpsw:speakers and phpsw:talks data that power the speaker pages is only generated in the production meetup:import:all run rather than being similarly available on-the-fly in dev, primarily because it would require parsing all events to build a speaker page, fixtures are however provided.

Fixtures

If you want to test against PHPSW event data, you can simply load the fixtures into Redis:

app/console redis:restore-fixtures

Secrets

Secrets are stored in Ansible Vault, to change any of them use:

ansible-vault edit ansible/secrets.yml

Note: any changes will also require regenerating config/secrets.yml.enc for Travis.

Tasks

Almost all of our content is stored in Meetup, but we cache it in Redis to save on API requests, and also pull in tweets from our Twitter account.

If you're forking this project for your own use, you'll need to run these tasks to pull in the content from your own accounts, and you'll probably also want to set them up as cron jobs in production.

app/console meetup:import:all
app/console twitter:import:all

Tests

We have a basic Kahlan test suite set up:

app/kahlan

Travis requires the secrets file in order to run the tests, if you make changes, remember to regenerate and commit the encrypted version:

travis login
travis encrypt-file -f config/secrets.yml
