 # hpr_generator

 Static web page generator for the Hacker Public Radio website.
 
 ## Installation
+Steps necessary to install this generator locally:
 * Clone or download this repository
-* With SQLite
+* Install the needed Perl modules using your preferred method (distribution
-	* Create the sqlite3 database from the hpr.sql MySQL dump file available on
+  packages, CPAN, etc.)
-	  hackerpublicradio.org. The default name for the database file is "hpr.db"
-	  and should be located in the root of the project directory. The name and
-	  location can be set in the site.cfg file.
-	* An "update-hpr.sh" helper script is available in the utils directory. This
-	  script will download the hpr.sql file, convert it to the SQLite hpr.db file,
-	  and regenerate the website using the site-generator.
-		1. `cd` into the root of the project directory
-		2.  Run `./utils/update-hpr.sh`
-	* SQLite v3.8.3 or greater is recommended. CTE WITH clauses are used in some template queries. Must convert WITH
-	  clauses to sub-queries when using earlier versions of SQLite.
-* With MySQL
-	* Create database hpr_hpr in the MySQL server from HPR dump file.
-		- ``sudo mysql --host=localhost < hpr.sql``
-	* Create a user that will be used by the site-generator.
-		- Suggested username: hpr-generator
-		- ``CREATE USER 'hpr-generator'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '<password>';``
-	* Limit the user's privileges to EXECUTE and SELECT
-		- ``GRANT SELECT ON hpr_hpr.* TO 'hpr-generator'@'localhost';``
-		- ``GRANT EXECUTE ON `hpr_hpr`.* TO 'hpr-generator'@'localhost';``
-* Install the needed Perl modules using preferred method (distribution packages, CPAN, etc.)

-    * Pod::Usage

 ## Usage
-Generate two specific pages:
+The following utilities are provided to support the process of
-`site-generator index about`
+generating the website:
+    * `utils/update-hpr-db.sh` - Download the database and transform it
+      into the hpr.db SQLite database.
+    * `utils/update-hpr.sh` - Download HPR.sql and create the SQLite database
+      using `update-hpr-db.sh`, then run `site-generator` to create the
+      website.
+    * `./site-generator` - Using the information in the templates
+      directory and the show information in the database, generate the
+      website. Without parameters, the whole site will be generated. 
 
-Generate the whole site:
+If you need to generate specific pages (in this example, index and about):
-`site-generator --all`
+    `site-generator index about`
+
+Having downloaded the database, you can also regenerate the whole site:
+    `site-generator --all`
 
 Generate pages based on the same template:
 `site-generator correspondent=1,3,5..10`
