# Requirements
This Softwares runs python3-flask with markdown, json and caldav.
python3 -m pip install flask, caldav, markdown2
This Software requires bootstrap > 4.13 which can be downloaded [here](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.3/getting-started/download/). It must be unpacked into the *static/*-directory into *js* and *css* respectively.
Additionally bootstrap depends on [jquery](https://code.jquery.com) which you have to download into a file called *jquery.min.js* in *static/js/*.
# Configuration
The page and most of it's content is configured via json, basic configuration is done in *config.py*.
## Startpage Sections
### Events
The events section from the start-page is imported from the calendar and will show events a given time in the future or past. It will by default show three events. If there are more than three events, a *'More'*-button will be displayed. If there are no events the section will not be shown at all.
### News/Announcements
This Section will read and display JSON configuration from the *news/*-direcotry. A news-configuration must contain these information:
{
"title" : "title of the announcement",
"uid" : a_unique_integer_number,
"markdown-file" : "path to markdown file containing the actual announcement",
"active" : boolean_if_it_should_be_displayed,
"description" : "a short description",
"date" : date_posted_as_unix_timestamp,
}
Additionally it must contain either a 'fixed-timeout' or 'relative-timeout-weeks' after which it will no longer be displayed. If both a specified the fixed timeout takes precedence.
"timeout-relative-weeks" : 12,
"timeout-fixed" : a_date_as_unix_timestamp
Finally it MAY contain a text to display on the button leading to the article (otherwise it will use a default).
"link-text" : "maximum 25 characters"
Obviously the markdown file referenced in the configuration must also be created.
### Other Sections
All following sections are read and created from the *vereinSection* directory. Json configuration for these sections much contain these information. The pictures for all the sections should have a similar aspect ratio.
{
"picture" : "path to a picture for this section",
"title" : "A title for this card",
"text" : "A potentially very long text of multiple lines that will be displayed next to the picture...",
}
The configuration may contain the following information, which add a button-like link to the section.
"moreInfoButtonText" : "less than 25 charaters",
"moreInfoButtonHref" : "href to go to"
The alpha-numeric order of the filenames specifies the order in which the sections will be displayed on the website, so the files should be prefixed with a number, for example *10_section_hello.json* and *90_section_ending.json*.
## People
To display a person on the people-subpage create a JSON-file in the *people/*-directory containing the following information:
{
"title" : "Name of the Person",
"subtitle" : "Function of the Person",
"image" : "path to image",
"text" : "Potentially long text describing the person and their functions."
}
The order is again specified by the alpha-numeric order of the files.
# Adding new Subpages
New subpages must be added as a new location in the *server.py* like this:
@app.route("/subpage")
def subpage():
return flask.render_template("subpage.html", conf=mainConfig)
See the example *subpage\_example.html* in *templates/*.
