Configure

The most important file of configuration is data/hoverboard.config.json which looks like:

  "url": "..",
  "startDate": "..",
  "endDate": "..",
  "analytics": {..},
  "organizer": {..},
  "webapp": {..},
  "firebase": {..},
  "mailchimp": {..},
  "hashtag": "..",
  "disqusShortName": "..",
  "tweetsSource": "..",
  "partnershipProposition": "..",
  "videosSessionsUrl": "..",
  "enableSessionsRating": "..",
  "navigation": [..],
  "social": [..],
  "location": {..}
  "social": [..],
  "gallery": {..}

SEO

The project doesn't use any generators, so there is a need to edit manually meta data in index.html

<head>
  <meta name="description"
        content="The biggest Google tech conference in Ukraine carefully crafted for you by GDG community! All about Android, Web and Cloud from the world experts">
  <meta name="keywords"
        content="event, gdg, gde, devfest, google, programming, android, chrome, polymer, developers, web, cloud, androiddev">
  <meta name="author" content="GDG Lviv">

  <title>GDG DevFest Ukraine 2016</title>
  ...

Google Analytics

Replace GA tracking code in index.html

trackingId: window.ENV === 'prod' ? 'UA-43643469-8' : 'UA-43643469-9'

It's possible to have analytics for development and production. Select your environment on line:

window.ENV = 'dev';

Pages config

"pages": {
  "home": {
    "headerSettings": {
      "backgroundColor": "#FF9800",
      "backgroundImage": "/images/backgrounds/home.png",
      "fontColor": "#fff",
      "tabBarColor": "#fff",
      // data only applicable for the home page
      "video": {
        "title": "GDG DevFest Ukraine 2016",
        "youtubeId": "DfMnJAzOFng",
        "text": "See how it was in 2015"
      },
      // hides logo from the toolbar
      "hideLogo": true,
      // Is more like hack :)
      "minHeight": "360px"
    }
  },
  "blog": {
    "headerSettings": {
      "backgroundColor": "#03a9f4",
      "fontColor": "#fff",
      "tabBarColor": "#fff"
    }
  },
  ...
 }

If you don't need some pages, don't forget to remove them (or comment out) in hoverboard-app.html

<neon-animated-pages attr-for-selected="name">

    <home-page name="home"></home-page>
    <blog-page name="blog"></blog-page>
    ...
<

And in navigation

Navigation

"navigation": [
  {
    "route": "home",
    "permalink": "/"
  },
  {
    "route": "blog",
    "permalink": "/blog/"
  },
  ...

This configs reflects in toolbar-block.html and drawer-block.html

Tweets

"tweetsSource": "/data/tweets.json",

To make it more dynamic use Tweetledee which provides ready-bake PHP files that allow you to access Twitter user timelines, user favorites, lists, home timelines, and tweet search data in a JSON.

"tweetsSource": "https://<YOUR_APP>.herokuapp.com/favoritesjson.php?c=10&cache_interval=8000",

You can install Tweetledee on Heroku. Download the latest version of Tweetledee; unzip and deploy on their server.
Note: don't forget to enable CORS, changing $TLD_JS = 0; to $TLD_JS = 1;.
Read full documentation on the official website.

Or you can upload the files to a server hosting any website in the public_html directory and use the link pointing to the files in your tweetSource.

"tweetsSource": "http://domain/tweetledee/favoritesjson.php?c=10&cache_interval=8000",

Add

header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");

at the top of your tweetledee_keys.php file to enable CORS.
