DESCRIPTION

Use pm-website to render and maintain an up-to-date info page for your Perl Monger group!

PM.org provides free hosting for perl monger groups. Pages must be updated with webDAV and server-side scripts are not allowed. pm-website will update and install a static, template-driven page via webDAV with minimal effort. Spend less time while creating a more useful front page. Everyone wins!

COMMANDS

pm-website init

Initialize a configuration yaml file with the necessary keys

pm-website build

Builds the index file (website/index.html) by rendering the template (template/index.in) with TemplateToolkit. The template is passed a models describing the next meeting, past meetings, presenters and locations.

pm-website install

Uploads website/index.html via webDAV to groups.pm.org/groups/$groupname, which corresponds to http://$groupname.pm.org/

username and groupname are read from the configuration file and password is read from the groups.pm.org entry in $HOME/.netrc if the files exists and is not readable by others.

#netrc example
machine  groups.pm.org
login    USERNAME
password PASSWORD

Model

The template will be provided with models derived from the configuration file. Any information added to the presenter, location and meetings configuration keys will be presented in the model.

  • event_date_pretty
