ROSE Compiler Framework/Website

< ROSE Compiler Framework

Goal

edit

To collect inputs so we can have a professional, user-friendly, and easy-to-maintain official website for the ROSE project.

Intended Audience

edit

Figuring out exactly who will be visiting our website is crucial to guide the design of the website:

1. Sponsors:

  • DOE program managers
  • LLNL officials

2. Staff members:

  • Easy to maintain: simpler is better
  • Easy to perform disaster recovery: backups, migration, etc.

3. Developers and Users:

  • End-users of ROSE: using ROSE-based tools - easy to access tutorials, guides, FAQs, help, etc.
  • Developers using ROSE to build custom tools - easy to access development resources

4. Collaborators:

  • People who have a formal collaboration with us

How to move a wordpress website

How to put Wordpress into a subdirectory but still runs it from the web root path:

Troubleshooting

edit

Asking for FTP info

edit

you will need to make sure that the php scripts which need to write to the filesystem are owned by the same user that apache is running as.

http://www.chrisabernethy.com/why-wordpress-asks-connection-info/

Solution:

Debug Mode

edit

Turn on Wordpress (PHP) debugging in wordpress/wp-config.php: 

define('WP_DEBUG', true);

Blank Page

edit

A problem occurred after some git operations on our revision controlled wordpress/ installation. 

  $ git stash
  $ git stash apply

git-stash seems to have changed the permissions of files so there were "permission denied" PHP errors. The solution is simply to fix the permissions to be readable by the web server (e.g., www-data).

Our hack, for our test/development installation was: 

  $ sudo chmod -R 777 wordpress/  # :-)

TO-DO

edit

Wordpress: 

Any updates on resolving this issue?

--

**Update**: I found the problem with my installation (might just because I'm a Wordpress newbie): I was not including the bootstrap-collapse javascript.

## Solution Attempt #1

Edit **wp-bootstrap: Theme Functions (functions.php)** to add `<script>` tags to load `bootstrap-collapse.js`:

Appearance > Editor > Theme Functions *(functions.php)*

```php
function my_scripts_method() {
  // bootstrap-collapse requires bootstrap-transition.js
  wp_deregister_script('bootstrap-transition');
  wp_register_script('bootstrap-transition', 'http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/assets/js/bootstrap-transition.js');
  wp_enqueue_script('bootstrap-transition');

  wp_deregister_script('bootstrap-collapse');
  wp_register_script('bootstrap-collapse', 'http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/assets/js/bootstrap-collapse.js');
  wp_enqueue_script('bootstrap-collapse');
}
add_action('wp_enqueue_scripts', 'my_scripts_method');
```

*Note*: this is probably not the right way to do this, but it works.

## Solution Attempt #2

Edit **wp-bootstrap: Header (header.php)** to make `navbar` collapsed by default and remove toggle button:

1. Add `collapse` class to the `div`:

    ```html
    <div class="nav-collapse collapse">
        <?php bones_main_nav(); // Adjust using Menus in Wordpress Admin ?>
    </div>
    ```

2. Remove toggle button, i.e. remove this code:

    ```html
    <a class="btn btn-navbar" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".nav-collapse">
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
    </a>
```
