Orlando Devs Website Competition

Hello Fellow ODevs, Orlando Devs is looking for volunteers to assist in revamping our existing website. Anyone is open to submit and if we use a portion or all of your work, you will get permanent credits at the bottom of our homepage and in other areas of the site and the right to add Orlando Devs Inc / Front-end Engineer on your resume if you choose!

What we are looking for is simple. We want to allow for easy editing of posts, so we are looking to use Eleventy with Netlify CMS (readme below). We would love a fresh design, and lastly we would like all of the existing content to carry over.

You can clone this repo to get started, and submit pull requests when you're finished! If you are interested in helping, please message @davidkpiano or @fu on our Slack.

For our prior content, see this repo: https://github.com/OrlandoDevs/orlandodevs.github.io

Eleventy Netlify Boilerplate

What is it?

A simple template for building a fast, pre-generated HTML website using the Eleventy static site generator. With Netlify CMS baked-in, ready to deploy to Netlify in a couple of clicks.

Use it as a starter for your own JAMstack projects, or as an easy way to get started building websites with Eleventy.

Based on the Eleventy Base Blog repo (see there for additional info on Eleventy usage).

🔥 This project is featured on Netlify's official template showcase 🔥

Want to try it out now?

Deploy to Netlify

Clicking the button above will deploy a copy of the demo website to your Netlify account (you can create an account during this process if you don't have one) and everything needed for running the CMS:

  • A new repository in your GitHub account with the code
  • Full Continuous Deployment to Netlify's global CDN network
  • Control users and access with Netlify Identity
  • Manage content with Netlify CMS
  • Process form data with Netlify Forms

Setup authentication

After deploying this project, Netlify Identity will add you as a CMS user and will email you an invite. It is not necessary to accept this invite if you wish to use an OAuth provider (e.g. Github) to manage authentication for your CMS. It is recommended to use this method of authentication as it removes the need for an email & password to log in to the CMS and is generally more secure. You will need to add an OAuth provider in your Netlify app settings under "Settings" > "Identity" > "External providers".

Once you've added an OAuth provider, navigate to /admin on your site, select your provider from the list, and you should then be logged into your CMS. Cool huh?

Now you're all set, and you can start editing content!

Gotchas

If you change the repo that was created at deploy time from public to private, you'll need to regenerate your token, as the token generated using the deploy to Netlify button can only access public repositories. To regenerate your token, head to "Settings" in your Netlify site dashboard, go to the "Identity" section, then scroll to "Services" where you'll see an "Edit settings" button. Click that and you'll see a text link to "Generate access token in GitHub".

Local development

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/danurbanowicz/eleventy-netlify-boilerplate.git my-blog-name

2. Navigate to the directory

cd my-blog-name

Specifically have a look at .eleventy.js to see if you want to configure any Eleventy options differently.

3. Install dependencies locally

npm install @11ty/eleventy

4. Edit _data/metadata.json

This file contains your site title and author details, and can be used to store any other commonly used site data.

5. Run Eleventy (builds the site)

npx @11ty/eleventy

Or build automatically when a template changes:

npx @11ty/eleventy --watch

Or in debug mode:

DEBUG=* npx @11ty/eleventy
