The vtONE Website Repo

This repository keeps track of the plugins and theme for the vtONE website

Plugins

wp/wp-content/plugins/  -- the main plugins directory
  landing-page/         -- redirect the user to a landing page URL in a sane way
  media-list/           -- adds post metadata for media files and a short tag to list them
  prayer-schedule/      -- allows easy scheduling of people for time periods (like in a prayer room)
  unique-downloader/    -- provides a download code experience for users
  vtone-tabs/           -- provides short tags and menu hooks to render pages with jQuery tabs (required by the theme)

Theme

At one point in time, the theme was based on Modularity Lite by Graph Paper Press but it bears little resemblance to it now. This is mentioned for posterity and because you should never forget where you came from.

wp/wp-content/themes/      -- the main themes directory
  vtone-modularity-lite-3  -- the vtONE website theme (2014 version)

Ansible Cookbooks

The included Ansible cookbooks will take a machine from bare metal to having a functional version of the website with a database dump from a while ago.

NOTE: These scripts will destroy a functioning Wordpress database if it is present! Make a backup before running them if the machine is not shiny and new!

ansible/           -- home of all things ansible
  wordpress/       -- stuff specific to wordpress installation
    site.yml       -- within this file are the various roles that will be applied
    production     -- the inventory file for production servers (see below)
    group_vars/    -- variables you care about
      production   -- variables that affect the wordpress installation
    roles/         -- the various roles that will be

I've been using the "production" inventory. Here's an example inventory file for the vtONE droplet:

ansible/wordpress/production # group defitions

[production]
vtonedroplet.vt-one.org

# end of groups

And here's an example of the variables that determine how a Wordpress instance will be deployed:

vhosts:
  vtonedroplet.vt-one.org:
    port: 80
    ssl_port: 443
    owner: wordpress
    group: apache

TODO: Automatically deploy the plugins and theme referenced in this git repository

To do the needful, run ansible-playbook like this:

cd ansible/wordpress
ansible-playbook -i production site.yml --user root -k

When prompted, enter the root password for the server being deployed to. Then, sit back and watch the magic happen. You may need to visit https://SITE_URL/wp/wp-admin and upgrade the database.

You'll also need to check out this repo and make it work in the plugins and theme directory. I'm sorry. I haven't gotten to it yet.
