MapGive dev site

MapGive

Description

This repository contains the contents of the MapGive website accessible at https://mapgive.state.gov.

Installation

These installation instructions are subject to change.

Jekyll (https://jekyllrb.com/) needs to be installed.

Now you can run the commands below to install the other dependencies:

sudo apt-get install npm
sudo apt-get install nodejs
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/nodejs /usr/bin/node #grunt expects "node"

sudo npm install -g grunt-cli
sudo apt-get install optipng
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-progs

Navigate to the Mapgive directory. The first time run 'npm install' to install the grunt dependencies. Also run 'bundle install' to install the ruby dependencies from the gem file.

Usage

From now on you can build the site by running the 'grunt' command inside of the Mapgive directory. Grunt outputs the site in the '_site' folder. You can also run the site locally by running 'jekyll serve'.

Localization of Mapgive in it-IT

Hello,

(not really an issue)

I am an Italian Openstreetmapper and I am translating the Mapgive website in Italian, I would also like to add some examples and stories from Italy. (From the copyright notice this should be doable, provided I do not use any U.S. insigna for which I was thinking about a credits/attribution page) .
I would like to know which technology you are using to build the website, since the Jinja-like syntax for templates seems familiar, but I am missing how you finally build the html pages from what I see in the repo.
At the moment I was translating from the raw html pages (I though about googling for "mapgive github" only now, i.e. after translating almost all of the website... I am only missing the /transcripts/ pages) but using a templating system would be much better.

Here's the repo with what I have translated so far MapgiveIT.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cristian
