Editing content is now very easy on TimVideos Developer Website. The website uses powerful prose content editor to provide easy interface to edit/add and delete content.
In that case to generate the website with your changes you need to commit and push your changes to master repository. You can do this;
- Manually, using normal git and your local text editor,
- Using the GitHub online editor, or
- Prose editor described below.
Website will be generated and update about 1 minute after your commit. If page generation fail, you will receive email from Travis CI.
- Fork it ( https://github.com/timvideos/website/fork )
- Create your feature branch (
git checkout -b my-new-feature) - Edit content with your favourite content editor (Prose, GitHub, etc.)
- Commit your changes (
git commit -am 'Add some feature') - Push to the branch (
git push origin my-new-feature) - Create a new Pull Request
Website with your changes will be generated after pull request merge.
Every editable page on website has small and red edit icon () on the right top part of editable box. If you click on that link you will be redirected to TimVideos instance of prose editor (http://editor.timvideos.us). You can read more about prose editor in prose/prose GitHub repository and on Prose.io Wiki.
On the right side of editor you can see 3-5 buttons:
- Edit - if you want to edit content
- Preview - if you want to see realistic preview of your changes
- Meta Data - if you want to edit meta data available for Jekyll (tags, page title, layout, etc.)
- Settings - if you want to change file path or delete file
- Save - if you want to commit your changes. If you click on that button you will see difference between file after and before your changes.
Before saving/submiting change request you need to authorize Prose editor. To do that, just go to http://editor.timvideos.us and click 'Authorize on GitHub'
On the top bar of Prose editor you can see few options that are standard in every text editor.
If you want to add new page to website you need to go to http://editor.timvideos.us, select timvideos/website repository or your fork, click on big, green button 'NEW FILE'. Select your filename (remember filename is also a path for your page, ie. if you create page named hdmi2usb-history.md, your page will be accessible via http://code.timvideos.us/hdmi2usb-history), on the top of file content add metadata:
---
layout: default
tags: test
