Directory Structure ------------------- Contained in the repository: bin - contains the build scripts etc - Template Toolkit configuration lib - various include files for the templates and the site map used to generate the navigation menus src - the actual site content Generated: dest - the output of the build script (the finished website docroot) Build Requirements ------------------ * expat library * Perl modules: * Template Toolkit * XML::XPath Debian: apt-get install expat libtemplate-perl libtemplate-plugin-xml-perl libxml-xpath-perl Building the Site ----------------- To build manually: * cd into the directory containing this README file * run "bin/build" * The "dest" directory will be created if it doesn't exist, and the tree will be built there. To build from a cron job: * Same as above, but run "bin/build-exclusive.pl" instead, which does locking to ensure build jobs don't overlap. HTML files will be processed by Template Toolkit. This means you can use Template Toolkit directives in your pages for creative content or site-wide variables that you define in one of the config files. See http://www.template-toolkit.org/ for documentation. The main site look (banner, navigation, etc) is in lib/wrapper.tmpl Configuration Files ------------------- Most config files are self-documenting. Read the comments in the files.
