This course will become read-only in the near future. Tell us at community.p2pu.org if that is a problem.

3: Experiment [April 11, 2011, 11:20 a.m.]



Make a change and see what happens locally

When: May 9 - May 15

Examples of changes to make to test/explore Lernanta and your local installation:

  • Instead of stripes in the background, just have plain color
  • Instead of "People" at the top of the navigation, it shoud say "Superstars"
  • On the course listing, instead of allowing 2 lines of text, just show 1
  • (Advanced) Add new field to a user's profile under general info: email address

After your change, reload the site on your localhost to make sure tha the change happened. Also, experiment with git if you're not already familiar with it with things like commiting locally then reverting back out of the change. Various cheat sheets.
