Must have bb on path.
Within Platypub, you'll want to have at least one site, newsletter, and post.
For using this theme as-is, you'll also want to create three special pages:
- One with
welcomefor the tag. The contents of this post will be emailed to new subscribers. - One with
/subscribed/for the path. This page will be rendered athttp://localhost:8888/subscribed/and will be shown to new subscribers. It should say something like "check your inbox for a welcome email." - One with
/aboutfor the path. This will be linked to from the default site's nav bar.
See https://github.com/jacobobryant/platypub-theme-minimalist for an example of a custom
theme that reuses code from Platypub's default theme. To create your own custom theme,
you can copy that repo's contents into a themes/my-custom-theme directory, and then
make your changes.
Run Platypub, go to the Sites tab, click "preview." Edit theme files, save, and refresh the page to make changes.
Note that the newsletter signup form will not work; to test that you'll need to use option 2.
- Go to the Sites page on Platypub and click "export" to download an
input.ednfile. Copy it to this directory. - Run
bb dev
This will open a browser tab to localhost:8888 with your site. Whenever you
save a file, the site will be regenerated. You'll need to hit refresh in the
browser tab manually.
If you want to update the site/newsletter/post data, you'll need to export the
input.edn file again.
Run Platypub, make a post and open it, click "send", then click "preview." Email clients are finnicky, so be sure to send a test email at least to GMail.
