UKHealthCamp
UKHealthCamp is a free ‘unconference’ for everyone interested in digital, design, technology and data for health and care.
This Repository contains the source code to the http://ukhealthcamp.com/ website.
Jekyll
This is a re-imagining of the UKHealthCamp website, now entirely built by Jekyll and 98% less full of unused vestigial Bootstrap css and boiler-plate. Previously the site was built from the https://github.com/ukhealthcamp/ukhealthcamp_website repository using Node and Bower.
Everything is now built from Kramdown source files into html using the template in _layouts by Jekyll. CSS is compiled from stylesheets and SCSS file in _sass to a single compressed file.
Controlling global "Alert Bar"
To display the "Alert Bar" on all pages set show_alert: true in _config.yaml and it will appear, to hide it set show_alert: false. To edit the contents of the bar simply edit _includes/alert-bar.md the file is (Mark)Kramdown.
Page types
There are two templates default.html and generic.html. Default is a minimal template that simply adds appropriate html <head> content and the global "Alert Bar" (if enabled) and site footer. Generic is more prescriptive and adds a simple header bar and provides for simple "plain text" pages (of course (Mark)Kramdown is supported).
To select the appropriate template simply chose either layout: default of layout: generic in the file frontmatter.
Sponsors
To standardise formatting and ease of use sponsors are defined in _data/sponsors.yml according to year and level of sponsorship. To display sponsors for a particular year include the following: {% include sponsors.html year="2017" %} where year is set to the chosen year. Sponsor logos are stored in /images/sponsors-<<year>>/inage.png.
_data/sponsors.yml has the following format:
"2017": # Year
gold: # Sponsorship level
- name: A sponsor # Name of sponsor
link: https://link # Link to sponsor site
logo: image.png # Sponsor logo stored in `/images/sponsors-<<year>>/inage.png`
for: For the venue # What the sponsorhip was for
- name: Another sponsor
link: https://links/
logo: gold-logo.png
for: For the venueAdding a short-link
There are some "static" short links to useful things (e.g Slack, Pitch-board, Session notes), these links are stored in links directory as separate files containing the following YAML Front Matter:
---
layout: link # Must be set as `link`
permalink: /short # The short link n.b. be careful not to use the name of an existing page
redirect_to: "http://redirect-to-here.com/" # The location to redirect to
---Getting Started
Simply edit (Mark)Kramdown files in your editor of choice and push, GitHub pages will do the rest of the magic.
If you feel you need to edit templates/play around locally:
To set-up initially after cloning repo:
gem install bundler
bundle install
To compile with Jekyll:
