Help:Contributors
Create a contributor's profile page.
Whether moderator, content creator or developer, everyone who contributes to the website needs a personal profile page on our website. They are used in different ways. May it be a table of the contributors shown on the website or the metadata to see, which person contributed to which content.
For example in the header of the blog entry, the contributor’s name (title)
is needed to show the reader more about the person who wrote the blog entry.
Spaces Announcement 🎉
Our community has grown to over 3500 members, and we are grateful for everyone who is bearing with us. Thanks Pythoneers!
As we grow, we want to provide space for more conversations. Keeping discussion on-topic in this room is the right thing to do, but off-topic conversation is fun -- and it builds a stronger community.
The above example shows an entry, which features multiple contributors. To add
the contributors to the blog entry the contributors variable is used. In this
case, it was:
contributors: ["Michael Sasser", "BrenBarn", "ilex", "James Belchamber"]
If you click on one of the contributors, marked with a red underline, you will
see the contributor page of this user. For example,
Michael’s
contributor page is located in
./content/contributors/michael-sasser/
.
It contains a file _index.md and a file michael_sasser_ava.svg:
_index.mdis the file, which contains all text and references the image used.michael_sasser_ava.svgis the image used in the contributor page. Please remember our image conventions . The filename convention in those images ismy_user_ava.extention. In case the avatar was not set, but thematrix_identifierwas, the avatar which was set in the Python room on Matrix will be used.
Location
| Directory | Description |
|---|---|
| content/<Language>/contributors/ | The base directory of the contributors |
Create a New Contributors Page
To create a new page, use the command npm run create -- 'contributors/<pageName>.md'.
After that you can edit your newly created page, which is located in content/en/contributors/<pageName>.md.
Example
Create a new page foo:
$ npm run create -- 'contributors/foo.md'
>[email protected] create
> exec-bin node_modules/.bin/hugo/hugo new "contributors/foo.md"
Content "/home/username/path_to_repository/repository_root_directory/content/en/contributors/foo.md" created

The Datetime Type
The date and time according to ISO 8601 . The following table shows the extended format specified in ISO 8601 we use for our website to specify, when e.g. a page was created or edited. It has three parts:
- the date
- the time, including it's designator
T - the timezone offset
| Value | Optional | Description |
|---|---|---|
2021 | No | Year |
07 | No | Month |
08 | No | Day of the month |
T | No | T is a designator, which indicates the start of the time representation |
12 | No | Hour |
34 | No | Minute |
56 | No | Second |
+ or - | Yes | + for a positive or - a negative timezone
offset |
01 | Yes | Timezone offset in hours |
02 | Yes | Timezone offset in minutes |
Formatting Examples
The following example uses the values from the table to show the format. It does not use the actual UTC. If you are not using the timezone offset, you must calculate UTC yourself.
- Example with timezone offset:
2021-07-08T12:34:56+01:02 - Example without timezone offset:
2021-07-08T12:34:56
Header Example
Remember, the front matter is aYAML structure embedded into the
Markdown file. The --- delimiters signal Hugo that this is a front
matter in the YAML format. Here is a generated example, how the
front matter might look like:
---
title: "MyTitle"
description: "A description of the page content"
date: 2021-10-08T14:48:42+01:00
lastmod: 2021-10-08T14:48:42+01:00
draft: false
images: ["avatar.svg" "foo.svg" "bar.svg"]
math: true
avatar: "avatar.svg"
matrix_identifier: "@user:matrix.org"
matrix_username: "UserName"
matrix_moderator: false
website_content: false
website_developer: false
email_address: "[email protected]"
gitlab_username: "UserName"
github_username: "UserName"
gitea_profile_url: "https://mygitea.org/UserName"
mastodon_profile_url: "https://domain.tld/@foo"
website_url: "https://domain.tld"
bot: true# This is an example for a comment in YAML
---
Make sure to create your profile page, when you contribute to the website. You don’t actually need to enter personal information about yourself. You can just enter your GitLab username and your matrix identifier. For the title your name is mandatory, but nickname would be sufficient too.
