NOTE: Development on PopIt has stopped and it is no longer being maintained. Please read the announcement to find out more.
The promotional site for the Poplus component, PopIt. Compiled using Jekyll and hosted by Github at http://popit.poplus.org
The templates in _layouts and the majority of the styles in assets/sass/ should be kept in sync with other poplus.org projects like https://github.com/mysociety/writeit.poplus.org and https://github.com/mysociety/mapit.poplus.org
Styling changes specific to the PopIt site should be made in assets/sass/_popit-styles.scss.
Compile the Sass files using (docs):
sass --watch assets/sass:cssYou can preview your changes without pushing to Github by running a local Jekyll web server.
First, install Jekyll, as per the Jekyll docs, then go into the project folder and start a local server:
gem install jekyll
cd popit.poplus.org
jekyll serve --watch --baseurl ''The --baseurl option is part of an elegant hack to replicate the Github Pages hosting structure locally.
As long as the server is running, your site will be available at http://0.0.0.0:4000. Local changes will be reflected automatically, thanks to the --watch flag.
Remember, when you’re editing links or paths in the HTML, to use the {{ site.baseurl }} template tag for internal links. Take a look in _includes/html-head.html for an example.
The site is hosted on Github Pages. All changes should be made on the gh-pages branch.
Your changes will then be visible at http://popit.poplus.org.
