Line 1:
Typically each event gets its own publicity website.
== Making the site ==
To start, you want to [https://github.com/organizations/new make a new organization]. This organization should have the name oh-$yourname. For instance, if your school is Hogwarts, you'd make an organization named oh-hogwarts.
The template website lives at the Github repository [https://github.com/openhatch/oh-campus-template OH-campus template]. You want to make a copy of this site which you can customize. To do so, you want to "fork" the repository. ▼
▲The template website lives at the Github repository [https://github.com/openhatch/oh-campus-template OH-campus template]. You want to make a copy of this site which you can customize. To do so, you want to "fork" the repository. Click the "Fork" button in the top-right corner of the page. You'll be given the option to fork to multiple places - select the organization you just made.
Click the "Fork" button in the top-right corner of the page. Once the animation concludes, you should be in a new repository in your personal space (ie at url github.com/$YOURUSERNAME/oh-campus-template/ rather than github.com/openhatch/oh-campus-template/). You should also see a "forked from..." remark in the top-left.▼
▲
You now want to rename the site. The naming scheme we'd like you to use is "oh-campus-$NAMEOFSCHOOL". If you were Harry Potter, you'd rename your repository to "oh-campus-hogwarts". To rename the repository, go to the righthand sidebar and scroll down to settings, near the bottom. Once you click that, renaming should be the first option you're given.▼

While you're there, take a look at the option "collaborators" on the lefthand sidebar. It may be useful to add OpenHatch organizers @shaunagm and @paulproteus, as well as any other student organizers who might need access to the site, in case it needs to be updated quickly when you're not available.
Once you've created the repository, send the url to OpenHatch organizers and we'll [[Static_site_hosting/create | do our thing]]. (You can safely ignore that page, but we linked it in case you're interested.) You should also add the OpenHatch organizers to the organization so that they can change the repository as needed. To do this, follow [https://help.github.com/articles/adding-organization-members-to-a-team these instructions]. For item #5, the team 'Owners' is fine. The github accounts to add are '''shaunagm''' and '''paulproteus'''.
== Customizing the site ==
Line 26 ⟶ 28:
Changes you'll want to make include:
* Do a search for $SCHOOL in the source file and replace with your school's name.
* Do a search for $DATE in the source file and replace with the date of the event.
* Do a search for $LOCATION in the source file and replace with the location of the event.
* Feel free to play with the aesthetics of the site by changing colors, fonts, etc.▼
* Do a search for $HOST in the source file and replace with the host organization/people.
* Add links to student and mentor sign up forms.
* Do a search for $ADD SPONSORS/HOSTS HERE and add logos of sponsors/hosts (the OpenHatch logo is already there).
* Change map to point to the location of your event (we can help you with this):
** Visit Google Maps and find your event location. You can right-click on the building the event is being held in and click on "what is here" to exact geographical coordinates.
** Click on the "Link" chain icon and read the URL. From the URL you change the JavaScript in index.html as follows:
{| class="wikitable"
! Link URL "key=value" pair || Corresponding JavaScript line to edit
|-
| ll=xx.xxxxxx,yy.yyyyyy ||
center: new google.maps.LatLng(xx.xxxxxx,yy.yyyyyy),
|-
| z=zz ||
zoom: zz,
|-
| q=xx.xxxxxx,yy.yyyyyy ||
var locations = [
['Change this to your Building Name', xx.xxxxxx, yy.yyyyyy]
];
|}
