Rebranding CV to HAT with Pagefind

Today I’m rebranding the Tama-Toledo Community Visioning (CV) site to Hometown Action Team (HAT) and adding Pagefind.

When doing so I get this build error…

A Newer Pagefind Enabled Blog!

It’s deja vu all over again. My timeline module doesn’t work with the current rendition of https://blog.SummittDweller.com and I can’t figure out what’s broken. So, I’ve resurrected my old personal blog project and updated with the meager content it was missing. That project has a working timeline but no Pagefind search, yet.

So, how might I ONCE AGAIN approach combining Hugo with Pagefind in the cloud? Well, A Powerful Blog Setup with Hugo and NPM* by Tom Hombergs looked like a promising place to start. The process that Tom advocates leverages a neat little package called hugo-bin.

So, node and npm are maybe not “all the rage” these days, but they do the job nicely for me.

Spinning Up StaticCMS

Today is Saturday, January 13, 2024, and I won’t be able to watch the KC Chief’s wildcard playoff game vs. the Miami Dolphins tonight because it is streaming ONLY on Peacock, and I refuse to pay them for the “privilege” to watch it live.  So, I’m going to do something productive instead.  Let’s see if I can spin up an instance of StaticCMS to provide an OPEN CMS for the content editor(s) behind the Wieting Theatre website.  

Building My First Steamlit App

I’ve been wanting to give Streamlit a try for some time now. Recently, I found Streamlit DataScience Apps, a GitHub repo full of Streamlit apps, written by Jcharis. In particular, I thought I would take the Job_Search_App_with_Streamlit_Forms_n_GithubAPI code for a spin.

First step, I created a new ~/GitHub/ code directory on my Mac; I named my directory ~/GitHub/job-search-app-with-streamlit-forms. The plan was to work in that directory inside VSCode with all the project requirements housed in a Python virtual environment (.venv) there.

Upgrading Matomo PHP

This afternoon I’m adding https://digital.grinnell.edu (site ID is 17) to my own Matomo instance and I’m prompted to upgrade PHP on that Matomo droplet (DigitalOcean). I did so quite easily following Upgrade PHP from 7.2 to 7.4 on CentOS 8 and Apache. I’ve also updated my Drupal version, and some modules, in https://digital.grinnell.edu along with adding the matomo module, but that module is now reporting:

    The validation of "http://analytics.summittservices.com/matomo.php" failed with error "Error opening socket ssl://analytics.summittservices.com:443" (HTTP code 0).
    The validation of "https://analytics.summittservices.com/matomo.php" failed with error "Error opening socket ssl://analytics.summittservices.com:443" (HTTP code 0).

Hmmm…wonder what’s up with that?

Fixing Wieting Guild Pages

Just the other day I got an updated copy of the Wieting Theatre’s volunteer roster and assignment schedule. As I’m trying to post them to the theatre’s management website (it’s password protected) I keep having issues with npm and dependencies that won’t compile. The fix, thus far has included a local command stream like this:

cd wieting-guild-pages
git pull
code .
npm run build
npm run start 
  --> failed
npm update
npm audit fix
npm run build
npm run start
  --> failed
npm audit fix --force
npm run build
  --> failed
npm install axios
npm run build
  --> failed
npm update
npm run build

The last errors had this in common:
