Our Little Church DIY:
Code Modifications - Introduction

One of the concerns Written For Christ has is: how we can work together to ensure with the next download does not over write your changes. We will try to set code modification rules we can all play by.

Another obstacle is ensuring our instructions are easy to follow, so that only a few people (preferable nobody) have issues following the instructions.

Constants

There are 2 common methods to allow the website designer to populate the web pages. The first is to have a web developer design the web pages in HTML. The second is to use Content Management System (CMS).

Written For Christ is trying a different approach. We have web developer/programmer design a website template with constants. This way the client mainly changes the content assigned to the constant.

The constants are in files located at: /includes/constant/

Documents/MyWeb

If you did the Hello World HTML web page, then you already have a MyWeb folder in Documents folder. This is where you will place the OurLittleChurch zipped up file when you download.

Downloading the Zip File

When downloading the OurLittleChurch, do not create any folders within MyWeb. The unzipping process will create OurLittleChurch folder. Do not modify the code within OurLittleChurch folder, this is your reference code.

The next process will be to copy the OurLittleChurch folder and create a new folder with your church name. You and others will have less problems if you do NOT add spaces with the name of the directory.
