Replace static event pages with generated versions

Open Bertg opened this issue 10 years ago • 16 comments

Problem

As per https://github.com/railsgirls/railsgirls/issues/556 generating a new event is painful because the following steps need to happen:

  • Create new event static page
  • Update index page to show upcoming events
    • These events aren't guaranteed to be ordered correctly
    • They might not even be relevant anymore, and require manual curation to fix these discrepancies
  • Update events page with link to newly created event
    • See above

Solution

Move over to using jekyll to build a friendlier and more reliable event information

  • [ ] Create contribution guide for adding new events (@csaunders in #562)
  • [x] Automatically show events that are upcoming on index
  • [ ] Automatically show events on the events page
  • [ ] Migrate existing events to new system (@andreionut in #559)
  • [ ] Extract basic template to reduce duplication (@mvz in #559)
  • [ ] Forward from old URLs to new URLs using meta refresh or Javascript to preserve SEO
