pclubiitk/pclub.in

Jekyll-based repository for the Programming Club website

pclub.in

Source for Jekyll based static-website cum blog for the Programming Club IIT Kanpur. Based off: spaghetti.ga

Test plan

First off, you'll need Ruby. Get gem with your package manager. You should not be installing Jekyll directly, since that's likely to break things. Instead, install bundle with

gem install bundle

Then, execute these in the repo directory:

bundle install --path vendor/bundle
bundler exec jekyll server --port 8080 --host 0.0.0.0

Here the --path flag is optional to keep your system's packages sane.

pclub.in's Issues

Make disqus comment count work

The previous pull request does not seem to work @yashsriv

This is what I found:

How to display comment count

    Place the following code before your site's closing </body> tag:

    <script id="dsq-count-scr" src="//pclubiitk.disqus.com/count.js" async></script>


    Append #disqus_thread to the href attribute in your links. This will tell Disqus which links to look up and return the comment count. For example: <a href="http://example.com/bar.html#disqus_thread">Link</a>.

Docker writing as root

I am having some issues with mounting with docker as docker writes as root and then my whole build fails locally. Do you have any suggestions??

Clicking on `pclub.in` in the disqus comments section to view all comments doesn't list article

@yashsriv 's article on plugin manager's comments are not listed somehow, in the sidebar which appears when you click on pclub.in next to 0 comments in the disqus comment box. Not sure if issue with disqus, or some usage.

The only listed comments are the ones on Kickstart to Vim.

Shift to a framework

I believe the css is nearly/completely from scratch and not part of a documented framework. Thus, I don't know what the class wrapper or page content refers to or how it would behave. Manually defining by own styles is faster than referring the css file and finding out which element has which properties. WIth frameworks, you get a generalised set of classes to work with which is familiar to mostly everyone(especially bootstrap).

This makes it extremely frustating to add new pages which are responsive. For example I was working on the live markdown preview thing and currently its not at all responsive for different screen sizes. Something like bootstrap would have made it easier.

The available options are:

• Material Bootstrap - Most of our site can be rebuilt using this. (The navbar is nearly identical)
• Bootstrap 3
• Foundation 6
• Materialize

Unable to run it on MAC OSX

Release of recent blogs

I was wondering whether date could be an issue while releasing the blogs. Cause blogs appear on the website in the order of the time of writing (for eg 2017-08-11-xyz.md).

Say there are two blogs A (written earlier, PR submitted earlier) and B (later in both case). And PR of B is merged before A and it gets published as the most recent blog in the site. Now when PR of A is merged it will not be the most recent blog (cause it was written before B). So probably no one will notice that a new blog has been released.

@yashsriv @milindl How will this issue be resolved.

Wrong date on article

Pretty sure this date is wrong:
