Adding a user logo

If you'd like to add your logo to the Who uses Vitess section of the website, add a PNG, JPEG, or SVG of your logo to the static/img/logos/users directory in this repo and submit a pull request with your change. Name the image file something that reflects your company (e.g., if your company is called Acme, name the image acme.png).

Link checking

You can check the site's internal links by running make check-internal-links and all links—internal and external—by running make check-all-links.

CSS/SASS

The Vitess website uses Bulma, a CSS (and SASS) framework that provides all kinds of variables, utilities, and components.

    date: 2024
    type: video
    FILTER_NAME = "filter_value"

Replace FILTER_NAME with any desired name of your choice. Same applies to the value.

  1. Navigate to the index.searchindex.json file to edit: cd layouts/_default/index.searchindex.json.
  2. Open the file and go down to line 3. You will notice the format of the data represented in a key/value pair. Just before the closing parenthesis, append your new option like this: "FILTER_NAME" $resources.FILTER_NAME.

Replace FILTER_NAME with the same name represented in the frontmatter (see step 2 above for reference).

  1. Head over to config.toml file. In the params.lunr section, you will see two arrays named vars and params. Add your new filter option's name to each of the arrays:
vars = ["title", "summary", "date", "publishdate", "expirydate", "permalink", "FILTER_NAME"]
  1. Navigate to javascript.html and scroll down to where the logic for resource filter is declared. Within that scope, find where the lunr() function is being called. You will notice a callback function is being passed to the lunr() function. Within the callback function, you will also notice this.field being called with some values passed in. Append this block of code right after the last this.field function call:
this.field("FILTER_NAME");

Replace FILTER_NAME with the same name represented in the frontmatter (see step 2 above for reference).

  1. Navigate to layouts/partials/learning-resources/filter-panel.html. Locate the div with a class name of filter. Within the div, add this new block:
<div class="mt-5">
      <h5>FILTER_NAME</h5>
      {{ $resources := $.Site.Data.resources.resources }}
      {{ $FILTER_NAMe := slice }}
      {{ range $resources }}
          {{ $FILTER_NAME = $years | append .FILTER_NAME }}
          {{ $FILTER_NAME = uniq $FILTER_NAME }}
      {{ end }}
      {{ range $FILTER_NAME }}
      {{ $filter := . }}
       <div>
          <input id="{{ . }}" type="checkbox" name="resource_filter" value="{{ . }}">
          <label for="{{ . }}">{{ . }}</label>
      </div>
      {{ end }}
  </div>

Replace FILTER_NAME with the same name represented in the frontmatter (see step 2 above for reference).

  1. Save your changes and rebuild your frontend.

Releasing a new version of the documentation

To release a new version of the documentation you can use one of the following two scripts:

  • ./tools/rc_release.sh: for RC release.

    • Takes one argument, the number of the next release.
    • Usage when releasing v16.0.0-rc1: ./tools/rc_release.sh "17"
  • ./tools/ga_release.sh: when a version becomes GA.

    • Takes one argument too, the number of the version we are making GA.
    • Usage when releasing v16.0.0 GA: ./tools/ga_release.sh "16"
