How to update Apache OpenMeetings website
Required tools
- Sun JDK7
- Apache Maven (3.3.9 or later)
Introduction
The Apache OpenMeetings HTML websites are generated from XML files. You edit the XML files, run the MAVEN command
mvn install -P allModules,unpacked
The website itself uses JQuery to generate the menu, the pop images and the image slider at the landing page.
Editing the website
OpenMeetings website (http://openmeetings.apache.org/) is a copy from the SVN repository.
The file in the SVN to be synced are at:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openmeetings/trunk/site/
To update the website you need to checkout trunk:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openmeetings/application/trunk/
edit the files in the folder openmeetings-server/src/site
then you run the command:
control the output locally in the folder
openmeetings-server/target/server/webapps/openmeetings/docs/
copy site contents into target folder:
And then commit your changes into the SVN
both the edited xml(s) and generated html files.
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/openmeetings/application/trunk/
edit the files in the folder openmeetings-server/src/site
then you run the command:
mvn install -Dunpacked=true
copy site contents into target folder:
cp -r openmeetings-server/target/server/webapps/openmeetings/docs/* ../site/
The public website is automatically synced with the SVN repository.
Changes to the SVN should be immediately synced to the production website.
If not you might login to people.apache.org,
cd to /www/openmeetings.apache.org/content/
and run the linux command "touch" on the files that need to be synced
