Website Quick Start

Updating Upcoming Meetings

The website uses rladies/meetupr to interact with the Meetup API.

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("rladies/meetupr")

A Meetup API key is required to update the upcoming meetings. To get one, login to Meetup, go to https://secure.meetup.com/meetup_api/key/, copy the key they present there.

Then, run usethis::edit_r_environ() and add following line to your ~/.Renviron file:

MEETUP_KEY=<your key here>

Restart your R session and the meetupr package will work.

Updating Previous Meetings

Add previous presentations to past_meetups.yaml, following the structure in the file and re-knit index.Rmd.

Note that updating previous meetings will also pull in any new meetings, so that section may change.

Deploying

The website is rendered using rmarkdown::render_site(). Make any changes and run this function. To update the upcoming meetups, remove upcoming.rds (if it exists) first.

Commit your changes into a feature branch (include both source *.Rmd or .md files and rendered .html files.). Push to the TampUseRs github repo and submit a PR.

GitHub Pages is autmatically enabled to serve from the master branch to https://tampausers.github.io
