Coup!

Fiction work.

Usage

How to clean it up for initial launch

1. Remove the first <script> tag and everything in it in flask/application/templates/base.html
2. Edit the Chapter 4 and remove the link to longpage. Replace it with a "visit tomorrow for the next installment of new chapters"
3. SSH into prod and delete the longpage directory. ssh prod; cd /apps/fiction/coup; rm -fr longpage
4. Also remove password protection (see instructions at the bottom of this file)
5. Edit flask/application/thesite.py and delete lines 43-56. This gets rid of the longpage code and makes sure we don't see it again.
6. Deploy! cd flask; ./deploy.bash; ./deploy.bash --server prod

How to launch a new chapter

1. Edit flask/application/__init__.py
2. Add the chapters you want to launch to the second app.chapters = ['01'... list.
3. Add the date the chapters will launch to the particular chapter records in flask/application/chapters.json
4. Save and deploy

How to edit page title tags

1. Open flask/application/chapters.json
2. Find the json item that corresponds with the page metadata you want to edit.
3. Edit, save, deploy.

Social share implementation

The social share buttons are hard-coded. Large in-color links go below the <h1> in each chapter and on the homepage. You may have to crop and produce the graphics and add them to the repo yourself.

There's a new file in application/templates/includes/social.html -- the fb and twitter markup goes in there.

To add them to each page, use this template tag: {% include 'includes/social.html' %}

The facebook button should link to https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://interactive.nydailynews.com/fiction/coup/

The twitter button should link to http://twitter.com/share?url=http://nydn.us/coup&text=The%20story%20of%20how%20Mike%20Pence,%20Rick%20Perry's%20dance%20leotard,%20and%20Ivanka%20save%20America%20from%20Donald%20Trump%20#thetrumpcoup

How to bust cache when deploying new CSS

1. Edit flask/application/templates/base.html
2. Find the line with site.css
3. Append or edit the URL parameter on site.css so it looks something like site.css?v2 (or v3, v4 etc.)

How to turn off the password protection on prod

1. SSH in to prod
2. cd /apps/fiction/coup/
3. rm .htaccess; rm .htpasswd
