Publishing Workflow

Adding or Updating Articles

  1. Edit seed data: Update server/seed.ts with new article data
    • Add new articles to the articlesData array
    • Update existing articles as needed
    • Use unique slugs for SEO-friendly URLs
  2. Run seed locally (for development testing):
    • Execute: npm run seed
    • This populates the development database with article data
  3. Commit changes: Push code changes to the repository
  4. Deploy to production:
    • Deployment is configured as "autoscale" type in .replit
    • Build command: npm run build
    • Run command: node ./dist/index.cjs
    • The production database is separate from the development database
    • Important: Seed must run on every deploy to ensure the production database is updated with new/modified articles
    • To run seed on deploy, add seed execution to the deployment process or manually trigger seed after deployment

Database Management

  • Development: Local PostgreSQL database (populated by npm run seed)
  • Production: Separate PostgreSQL database on Replit deployment
  • All article content is hardcoded in server/seed.ts for reproducible deployments
  • The DATABASE_URL environment variable automatically points to the correct database (local for dev, production for deploy)

Deployment Checklist

  • Update server/seed.ts with new article data
  • Test locally: run npm run seed and verify articles appear in dev
  • Run npm run build to ensure no build errors
  • Commit all changes
  • Deploy via Replit deployment interface
  • After deployment, ensure seed runs on the production database (may require manual trigger or additional setup)
  • Verify live site at https://www.folx.tv shows updated content

Important Notes

  • Tailwind object-[center_25%] does NOT work — must use inline style={{ objectPosition: "center 25%" }}
  • Horoscope widget navigates to /horoskop on click (no modal)
  • News widget external links open in new tab (target="_blank")
  • FeaturedCarousel: page 1 = wide (5 cols, no side cards), last page = gallery
  • All images use objectPosition: "center 25%" for better face cropping
