DESCRIPTION

Use pm-website to render and maintain an up-to-date info page for your Perl Monger group!

PM.org provides free hosting for perl monger groups. Pages must be updated with webDAV and server-side scripts are not allowed. pm-website will update and install a static, template-driven page via webDAV with minimal effort. Spend less time while creating a more useful front page. Everyone wins!

COMMANDS

pm-website init

Initialize a configuration yaml file with the necessary keys

pm-website build

Builds the index file (website/index.html) by rendering the template (template/index.in) with TemplateToolkit. The template is passed models describing the next meeting and location, past meetings, presenters and locations. See "Model".

pm-website install

Uploads website/index.html via webDAV to groups.pm.org/groups/$groupname, which corresponds to http://$groupname.pm.org/

username and groupname are read from the configuration file and password is read from the groups.pm.org entry in $HOME/.netrc if the files exists and is not readable by others.

    #netrc example
    machine  groups.pm.org
    login    USERNAME
    password PASSWORD

Model

The template will be provided with models derived from the configuration file. Any information added to the presenter, location and meetings configuration keys will be presented in the model.

m

A hash describing the next meeting.

Meetings have additional date keys added from the event_date or epoch field.

  • epoch

    event time in epoch unix seconds. Created from event_date if missing.

  • dt

    a DateTime object created from epoch

  • ds1

    dt rendered using strp pattern '%Y-%b-%d'.

  • ds_std

    dt rendered using strp pattern '%A %B %e, %Y'.

  • event_date_pretty

    dt rendered using strp pattern '%A the %e' and then munged by Lingua::EN::Numbers::Ordinate to produce strings like "Friday the 13th" or "Thursday the 23rd"

meetings

An array of hashes describing past meetings. The array is reverse sorted by meeting start date. Each hash describes a meeting. The next meeting m is not included in the list of meetings.

l

The location information for the next meeting.

locations

hash of location information keyed by location key.

presenter

hash of presenter information keyed by presenter id.
