ISO/TC211 theme by Ribose

This is a theme used across ISO/TC211 sites powered by Ribose, including https://www.isotc211.org and resource sites such as https://geolexica.org/, https://def.isotc211.org/.

Configuring site

Theme relies on accompanying helper plugin (note: plugin gem version should match theme version):

  gem "jekyll-theme-isotc211-helpers"
  # ...
end

group :jekyll_plugins do
  gem "jekyll-theme-isotc211-helpers"

  # ...

Theme development

Generally, this directory is setup like a Jekyll site. To set it up, run bundle install.

To experiment with this code, add content (projects, software, specs) and run bundle exec jekyll serve. This starts a Jekyll server using this theme at http://localhost:4000.

Put your layouts in _layouts, your includes in _includes, your sass files in _sass and any other assets in assets.

Add pages, documents, data, etc. like normal to test your theme's contents.

As you make modifications to your theme and to your content, your site will regenerate and you should see the changes in the browser after a refresh, like normal.

When your theme is released, only files specified with gemspec file will be included. If you modify theme to add more directories that need to be included in the gem, edit regexp in the gemspec.

Building and releasing

Manual test during development

When you’re working on visual aspects of the theme, it’s useful to see how it would affect the end result (a site built with this theme).

Here’s how to develop the theme while simultaneously previewing the changes on a site. The sequence would be as follows, assuming you have a local copy of this repo and have a Jekyll site using this theme:

  1. For the Jekyll site, change Gemfile to point to local copy of the theme (the root of this repo) and run bundle.

For example, you’d change gem "jekyll-theme-isotc211" to gem "jekyll-theme-isotc211", :path => "../jekyll-theme-isotc211". The relative path assumes your site root and theme root are sibling directories.

  1. Run bundle exec jekyll serve to start Jekyll’s development server.

  2. Make changes to both theme and site directory contents.

  3. If needed, kill with Ctrl+C then relaunch the serve command to apply the changes you made to the theme (it may not reload automatically if changes only affect the theme and not the site you’re serving).

  4. Once you’re satisfied, release a new version of the theme — see below.

  5. (To later bump the site to this latest version: revert the Gemfile change, update theme dependency version to the one you’ve just released, run bundle --full-index to update the lockfile, and your site is ready to go.)

Releasing

Make sure theme works: build script is under construction, so use good judgement and thorough manual testing.

  1. First, update version number in .gemspec within this repo’s root.

  2. Then, execute ./develop/release. This does the following:

  • Builds new gem version
  • Pushes gem to rubygems.org
  • Creates new version tag in this repository
  • Pushes changes to GitHub
