¡VAPF! personal blog powered by Sculpin

El blog de Fede Álvarez

Sculpin code for my personal blog.

Powered by Sculpin.

Inspired by Sculpin blog skeleton code.

Needs to have PHP >= 7.3 installed locally on your machine.

Publishing Production Builds

When --env=prod is specified, the site will be generated in output_prod/. This is the location of your production build.

sculpin generate --env=prod

These files are suitable to be transferred directly to a production host. For example:

sculpin generate --env=prodrsync -avze 'ssh -p 999' output_prod/ [email protected]:public_html

If you want to make sure that rsync deletes files that you deleted locally on the on the remote too, add the --delete option to the rsync command:

rsync -avze 'ssh -p 999' --delete output_prod/ [email protected]:public_html

Development environment

I use Symfony CLI tool to run a standalone PHP server.

To start server:

./bin/run_dev.sh

Blog will be accesible at the following URL: https://127.0.0.1:8000

blog's Issues

Show archive pages by month/year

Archive pages should give the possibility to access posts by their date (month/year)

Add support for Facebook Open Graph metadata

See technical reference: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters

Redirect old tag pages

Old tag pages, i.e. https://blog.falvarez.es/search/label/an%C3%A1lisis%20libros should be redirected to https://blog.falvarez.es/tags/an%C3%A1lisis%20libros/

Re-enable RSS URL

Old URL was http://blog.falvarez.es/feeds/posts/default. Enable it or redirect to new.

Add support for Twitter Summary Card

See technical reference: https://dev.twitter.com/cards/types/summary-large-image

Add search feature

As blog is now static, we need to add some third party service to allow users to search into posts.

Implementing Google Custom Search is maybe a good idea.

Add Google site verification file

Enable client cache rules for assets

Assets as images, CSS and JS should be client-cacheable (i.e. 30 days).

Cache rules must be enabled in web server configuration.

Add sharing buttons

Add sharing buttons for the most common social networks.

Redirect search requests

Redirect old search URL (/search?q=xxx) to new URL (/search.html?q=...)

This change may become obsolete when new search engine is developed and integrated.

Add Google Tag Manager snippet

Show dates in spanish

Dates in tags and archive listings are shown in English. They should be shown in Spanish.

Show tags ordered alphabetically

Tags should be shown alphabetically ordered, both within posts and in the tags page

Fix tags with special characters

Tags like "análisis videojuegos" or "informática" are not working because they contain not ASCII characters

Integrate with private search engine

Configure a search engine (maybe Solr) and integrate blog search in top of it.
