How to Add Content

Maya edited this page May 25, 2016 · 18 revisions

You can add a new community resource, news/updates, or a new curriculum/content page. Please refer to the documentation below when adding new content.

Adding news/update posts

News/updates and community resources are added the same way. News is added to the folder news. Community resources are added to the resources folder. Both need the title to include the date (i.e. 2016-04-11-community.md).

Please see the markdown documentation when making a new news/updates post.

Adding a new community resource

The following tutorial explains how you can contribute to the community resources section of the Level Up website.

Please see the markdown documentation when making a new community resource post.

1. Forking the repo and submitting a pull request

Go to the repo's home page and click the button "Fork"

Navigate to the _posts folder and then resources on your forked repo

Either make a new file or upload a file from your computer

When you are done adding new content, navigate to the original repo's home page

Click on the navigation element "Pull requests" and click the link "compare across forks"

Choose the base fork as the the-engine-room/level-up base: gh-pages and the head fork as your-github-name/level-up compare: gh-pages

Click on the button "Create pull request" and wait for the administrator of the repo to accept your pull request

2. Getting push access to the repository and adding content directly

Go to the repo's home page

Navigate to the _posts folder and then resources

Either make a new file or upload a file from your computer

Adding a new page

If you want to add a new page, please contact the site administrator to talk about the options. It might make more sense to add it to the Community Resources page rather than the main navigation. The current content in You, the Trainer, Before an Event, Curriculum and After an Event was thoughtfully organized and any new additions to this content need to fit in with the current information architecture.
