Warwick Tech Crew Website

This is the public website for Warwick Tech Crew, written using Docusaurus.

Future contributors may want to keep the shows and hires archives up to date, and change the exec names and images yearly. This README documents how to do so. For information about writing or editing wiki pages, see CONTRIBUTING.md.

Updating Shows and Hires archive

We keep an archive of all members who work on shows (in the WAC) and hires (outside WAC). This is stored in annual YAML files in shows/ and hires/.

You can add notes to a term to be displayed above the shows (see Term 3 2019/2020), as well as links below the roles in a show (see photo galleries in earlier years).

The standard format is below:

year: 2012 / 2013

terms:
  - name: Term 1
    notes: This was a strange term, we don't talk about it.
    shows:
      - name: 'Tech Crew: The Musical'
        society: Tech Crew X MTW
        venue: Warwick Arts Centre Theatre
        people:
          - role: Tech Manager
            name: Stan Dinovation
          - role: Followspot Operator
            name: S. Potlite
        links:
          - name: Images
            label: Happy

Using commas for multiple people sharing a role:

- role: Assistant Stage Manager
  name: Shrek, Donkey, and Fiona

Updating the Exec

The exec information is stored in src/components/home/the-exec.tsx, at the array at the top of the file. Images should be stored in static/images/home/exec and should ideally be compressed to 85% quality 300x300px jpegs.

Deployment

This website is deployed on Cloudflare Pages on the Warwick Tech Crew Google Cloudflare account.

Note that the build command must be npm run shallow-build to avoid issues with the changelog and Git history.
