[html] EduOnTheWeb

[angrycomputingteacher]

EduOnTheWeb is a work in progress project I have just made in the last hour or so. It's a one-page school website. Pretty simple and only takes around 15 minutes to setup. Presuming that you already have a web server setup. I have craeted a guide on how to install and maintain the website.

 

Install process

 

 

1. Download the zip file from below. It contains the website and it's files.
   
2. Extract the files
   
3. FTP and locate yourself into the public folder of your web server.
   
4. Copy the extracted files to the folder.
   
5. Next, go along to CushyCMS and register for an account as a designer.
   
6. Once registered, create a site and enter the FTP Details into it so you can update yourself. You can create a separate FTP account for Cushy if you want. (optional)
   
7. Choose the index.html page on the public folder to use within Cushy.
   
8. Now you can create users for whoever needs access to edit the school website.
   
9. Start Editing!
   

 

Maintenance

To change the header image, go into the assets/images folder and replace the school.png file with your picture with the name of school.png

 

Please let me know if I helped anyone. I would appreciate if you gave me comments on what I should add.

If you're aiming this to be a single-page website for a school, would including a Javascript user interface library / framework be an idea? That way you can add interface widgets and navigation around the page. I'm not quite sure what is considered simplest / coolest / up-to-datest at the moment - React, AngularJS, Backbone or just plain JQuery.

I'll think about that. Seems pretty easy to add.

As @dhicks asked for, a widget system. I have added widgets to the CMS.

 

It replaces the twitter feed space. To change what's there, add the page widget.html to CushyCMS and you can edit it.

If anyones needs to, they can add CSS and JS files through FTP to the widget page.

 

Any more feature requests and I will add them tomorrow morning?

Any new features I should add to it? Or design changes.

Just thinking: if this is a "single page" website you could have index.html be the only required HTML file, all content could be in separate Markdown (.md) files and rendered client-side.

I'll look into it. But I do have plans of possibly adding more pages in the future.
