open-oni_nebraska_theme

This is the new nebraska child theme for open-oni

Including in the Open ONI App

Clone the Open ONI repository's latest v1.0.x tag and add the Nebraska theme to the themes directory. If you are upgrading from v0.1.x, you will need to remove sass_processor from onisite/settings_local.py.

git clone git@github.com:open-oni/open-oni.git open-oni
cd open-oni
git checkout tags/v0.10.0
git clone git@github.com:CDRH/open-oni_nebraska_theme.git themes/nebraska

The Nebraska theme depends upon several plugins:

• Accessible Calendar
• Featured Content
• Map

You will need to clone and configure these as well or else the theme's navigation will not work as intended. Follow instructions in those repositories for customizing the contents of the map and the featured content using the files in this theme's conf/plugins directory.

git clone git@github.com:open-oni/plugin_calendar.git onisite/plugins/calendar
git clone git@github.com:open-oni/plugin_featured_content.git onisite/plugins/featured_content
git clone git@github.com:open-oni/plugin_map.git onisite/plugins/map

Copy in Nebraska configuration for the calendar plugin (these may differ if the plugin has been changed and our theme has not yet been updated):

# calendar
cp themes/nebraska/conf/plugins/calendar/config.py onisite/plugins/calendar/config.py

The calendar and map plugins require changes to their files to have page titles and headers match the nav link texts we changed. Copy these files from conf/plugins/calendar/ and conf/plugins/map/ to the corresponding directories in openoni/onisite/plugins/.

Django Settings

Configure app settings to use the theme and plugins as well as display the appropriate site title and project name

Set urls.py to use the theme and plugins

Plugin Customization

We will be adding a one-stop command that will set up the customizations for each of the plugins, but in the meantime just to get a basic version of the plugin, follow the instructions in each's readme.

Calendar

Plugin Calendar Repo

This calendar replaces the less accessible original calendar. You will need to copy the Nebraska theme's config file.

Featured Pages

Featured Pages Repo

You do not need to copy the featured_example.html, as the featured.html file is already at themes/nebraska/templates/featured.html.

Copy plugin's example config file to onisite/plugins/featured_content/config.py and change to use "This day in history" function. Review whether min and max years are accurate by sorting on the /newspapers page.

# Set to True to enable the 'This day in history' function
THISDAY = True

# Set to earliest year to search with THISDAY
MINYEAR = 1854

# Set to latest year to search  with THISDAY
MAXYEAR = 2001

Map

Plugin Map Repo

The JS file containing the map locations does not need to be moved into the plugin. It lives in themes/nebraska/static/js/cities_list.js. You will need to update it when any new titles are added.

TODO

• consider adding lat / lng to titles in the database, otherwise update the existing list themes/nebraska/static/js/cities_list.js as needed

Load Plattsmouth Papers

Until such time as the LoC updates their Marc records from OCLC, you need to include this line in your settings_local.py file before you can load any of the Plattsmouth batches. All other batches will not load while this line is in your settings, so remember to comment it or remove it after loading Plattsmouth:

MARC_RETRIEVAL_URLFORMAT = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CDRH/open-oni_nebraska_theme/master/marc/%s/marc.xml"

Compile Assets

Compile main.scss to main.css with Sass command line tool:

sass static/css/main.scss static/css/main.css

See nebraska oni docs

Load Batch Quick Reference

Upload your batch files to /var/local/newspapers/(batch_name). Then run:

sudo chmod -R g+rwX /var/local/newspapers/(batch_name)
sudo chmod -R o+rX /var/local/newspapers/(batch_name)

Then run the following commands from the base of the Nebraska open-oni install as a regular user, NOT as root.

source ENV/bin/activate

./manage.py load_batch /var/local/newspapers/(batch_name)/

# For batches to be visible in /batches page, must be released
# Add --reset flag to clear release dates and recalculate them
# Release date and time come from:
# 1. bag-info.txt, if found in the batch source
# 2. Tab-delimited CSV file if provided in format: batch_name \t batch_date
# 3. http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/batches.xml
# 4. Current server datetime
./manage.py release

If you want to chain together multiple batches, or you want to prevent scripts from exiting if the terminal shell is closed / session disconnects, run nohup with a command or script.

nohup (command) >> nohup.out
