README

        
This site is built to be statically output and deployable. It is localized for

English and Icelandic.

Instead of using a web framework to serve the site I wanted to use only Brunch,

which is a great front end assembler that allows you to code in Stylus,

CoffeeScript, configure the joining of files, compression etc. I'm used to

coding sites in Flask however, and block based templating and localization of

content with gettext was missing. To get the best of both worlds I treat the

asset directory in Brunch as a template folder, and create a site tree for each

language. For this I created jinjet; a command line utility that I hope you find

useful.

Quickstart

==========

## 1. Bootstrap Brunch

    git clone [email protected]/jokull/aldin.git && cd aldin

    mkdir node_modules

    npm install

    brunch watch -s

Brunch should now have output the site in `public/`. We still need to compile 

each locale.

## 2. Install jinjet in a Python environment

    mkvirtualenv --distribute jinjet

    pip install git+git://github.com/jokull/jinjet.git

## 3. Compile localized site trees

    jinjet -vv

See [jinjet documentation](https://github.com/jokull/jinjet) for documentation

on updating and compiling translation catalogs, even adding more locales.

`/public` folder is deployable. You will want to configure the server to redirect from the root path `/` to `//`, otherwise people will see a bunch of unrendered jinja templates.

This NGiNX config did the trick:

    server {

      listen 80;

      server_name aldin.is;

      rewrite ^(.*) http://www.aldin.is$1 permanent;

    }

    server {

      listen 80;

      server_name www.aldin.is;

      location =/ {

        rewrite ^ /is/ redirect;

      }

      location / {

        root /web/aldin;

        index index.html;

        expires -1d;

      }

    }
