Website for the 3D geoinformation group at TU Delft. Uses Jekyll to generate static pages.

If you change something, push it to the repository. The website will be updated after ~5 minutes. If you need to update the website manually, ask around for the secret update script.

Add the details of a new project/code/staff in _data/ in the YAML (.yml) file. The related images should go in the appropriate folder in img/. Pages will be generated automatically from these.

Each blog/news post is a Markdown file in _posts. When creating one, just copy the structure of the other ones, the naming convention for the files must be followed and each file should have a header of this form:

---
layout: post
title:  "Testing..1..2..testing"
categories: news
date:   2015-09-29 08:29
author: John Smith
---

To write markdown and see right-away the result, use that very handy website.

To add images, you must put them in the folder /img/2015/myimg.jpg and then add them with

Bla bla bla 

![]({{ site.baseurl }}/img/2015/myimg.jpg)

It can be handy to test the website locally before you commit and push any changes to github. For this you need to install Jekyll which requires a working Ruby installation.

Instructions to install jekyll on Windows can be found here.

Instructions to install jekyll on Mac can be found here.

Note: if you have an M1 mac there may be some difficulties with running jekyll. To fix this you can install a separate ruby environment as described here.

Then you can then install the required dependencies with:

gem install parslet htmlentities webrick

Then, clone this repository and run jekyll serve:

git clone https://github.com/tudelft3d/website.git
cd website
jekyll serve

Then follow the instructions printed in the terminal for you to open the website locally.

This is a research group website. So, in general we're not looking for external contributions. However, if you spot something serious, please contact us or post an issue.

Clearly spammy pull requests (e.g., changing formatting on this README) will be closed, marked as invalid/spam (no T-shirt for you!) and users reported for abuse.
