## Installation
|
|
This software should be portable to any conforming Common Lisp implementation but this guide will assume SBCL is installed. Testing has also been done on CCL.
|
|
Server side setup:
|
|
|
|
1. Setup git and create a bare repo as shown [here](http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server).
|
|
2. Install Lisp and [Quicklisp](http://quicklisp.org/).
|
|
3. ```wget -c https://raw.github.com/redline6561/coleslaw/master/example.coleslawrc -O ~/.coleslawrc``` # and edit as necessary
|
|
4. ```wget -c https://raw.github.com/redline6561/coleslaw/master/example.post-receieve -O your-blog.git/hooks/post-receive``` # and edit as necessary
|
|
5. ```chmod +x your-blog/.git/hooks/post-receive```
|
|
6. Create or clone your blog repo locally. Add your server as a remote with ```git remote add prod git@my-host.com:path/to/repo.git```
|
|
7. Point the web server of your choice at the symlink /path/to/deploy-dir/.curr/
|
|
|
|
Now whenever you push a new commit to the server, coleslaw will update your blog automatically! You may need to git push -u prod master the first time.
|
|
|
|
## The Post Format
|
|
Coleslaw expects post files to be formatted as follows:
|
|
```
|
|
;;;;;
|
|
title: foo
|
|
tags: bar, baz
|
|
date: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss
|
|
format: html (for raw html) or md (for markdown)
|
|
;;;;;
|
|
your post
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Importing from Wordpress
|
|
There is a "plugin" to import from wordpress. At some point, it should be turned into a standalone script. Until then...
|
|
|
|
1. Export your posts from wordpress.
|
|
2. In your lisp of choice, do the following:
|
|
1. ```(ql:quickload 'coleslaw)```
|
|
2. ```(in-package :coleslaw)```
|
|
3. ```(load-plugins '(import))```
|
|
4. ```(coleslaw-import::import-posts "/path/to/export.xml")```
|
|
|
|
The XML will be read and placed into .post files in the :repo location specified in your [.coleslawrc](http://github.com/redline6561/coleslaw/blob/master/example.coleslawrc).
|
|
|
|
## Writing your own plugins
|
|
For now, see the [API](http://redlinernotes.com/docs/coleslaw.html) and the [mathjax plugin](https://github.com/redline6561/coleslaw/blob/master/plugins/mathjax.lisp) for an example.
|
|
A proper guide about this will be written later.
|
|
|
|
## Theming
|
|
A default theme, hyde, is provided. Themes are made using Google's closure-template and the source for [hyde](https://github.com/redline6561/coleslaw/tree/master/themes/hyde) should be simple and instructive until I can provide better docs.
