This is a set of plugins, themes, and configuration files for jQuery's website infrastructure, which is powered by WordPress. It is designed as a custom content directory. So think of web-base-template as your wp-content directory.

1. Configure your local webserver with a virtual host that covers the relevant jQuery domains, such as *.jquery.com and *.jqueryui.com, all pointing to the same root. For example, in Apache:

   <VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName local.jquery.com
   ServerAlias *.jquery.com *.jqueryui.com *.jquery.org *.qunitjs.com *.sizzlejs.com *.jquerymobile.com
   DocumentRoot "/srv/www/jquery"
   </VirtualHost>
   

You do not need to configure your /etc/hosts file for local.* because jquery.com's DNS handles this for you.

1. Place the WordPress core files in the document root you chose. (Don't install it.) You can do this any number of ways:

   • Download the latest version from http://wordpress.org/latest.zip
   • Check out the latest tag from http://core.svn.wordpress.org/tags/
   • Clone the official WordPress Github mirror at http://github.com/wordpress/wordpress/

2. Clone web-base-template into place, so you have a file tree that looks like this:

   web-base-template/
   wp-admin/
   wp-content/
   wp-includes/
   index.php
   ...
   

3. Copy web-base-template/wp-config-sample.php and move it up one directory, to wp-config.php. Fill in your database credentials.

4. Create an .htaccess file with the following content into that same document root:

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
   
   RewriteRule ^resources/?$ index.php [L]
   RewriteRule ^resources/(.+) gw-resources/%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L]
   
   # Add a trailing slash to the wp-admin of a subsite.
   RewriteRule ^([_0-9a-zA-Z\.-]+/)?wp-admin$ $1wp-admin/ [R=301,L]
   
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
   RewriteRule ^ - [L]
   
   # Handle wp-admin, wp-includes, and root PHP files for subsites.
   RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z\.-]+/((wp-admin|wp-includes).*) $1 [L]
   RewriteRule  ^[_0-9a-zA-Z\.-]+/(.*\.php)$ $1 [L]
   
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
   

5. Go to http://local.jquery.com and walk through the standard WordPress installation. web-base-template includes a special install script that will initialize the entire network.

Changes pushed to master will be pulled onto the stage domain.
