dopresskit-static is a static version of the great Rami Ismail's presskit().
If you don't wan't to rely on PHP you can use it with the same xml files & directory structure as the original presskit().
You can even host it on dropbox : demo
- Not PHP
- More comprehensible source (thanks to python being python & the simple jinja syntax)
- Hostable on dropbox or anywhere with a simple drag & drop
- Compatible with the original presskit() xml files & directory structure
- Each non-filled xml tags will hide the appropriate section in the generated page
Note : One thing you will lose from Vlambeer's version is the ability to make presskit requests through the server-side mail system.
Go read the original https://github.com/ramiismail/dopresskit to see what presskit() is all about.
It requires python 2.7 (2.6 probably works as well) and the jinja2 package.
If you're on OSX/Linux you might already have a proper environment.
- Download python https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7.7/
- Install the template engine jinja2 with
easy_install jinja2orpip install jinja2or even via the windows binary at http://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#jinja2 (Jinja2‑2.7.3.win32‑py2.7.exe)
You should be able to compile a project as is with the default data.xml.
- Run
python generate.py, it will generate anindex.htmlfile at the root of your folder and in each of the project folders (by default, none). - Open
index.htmland it's done! - Edit the various
data.xmlfiles to your needs and runpython generate.pyagain.
If you want to add a project, copy the _template folder and rename it, re generate the html files and a project should show up in the Projects section of the page.
Note : A project folder will be ignored if its name is starting with an _uppercase_, if containing any space and if not in lowercase. 'Super Crate Box' would have a folder named super_crate_box to be valid.
