Old Website
The website is hosted by rankenstein (administrative contact: webmaster@rankenste.in) and has a Wordpress installation (admins are User:Eiland, User:Taborda and User:Candid)
Till 2009 the website was static (some old version of the website can be found at [1]) User:Eiland made the first migration to wordpress. On 2012 User:Taborda made some changes on the design (we now use The Clear Line Theme) to make it more customizable without having to be too hard code, some plugins were also activated.
Wordpress website (the main site)
At the moment, the BT site runs on wordpress. The info here is only relevant for administrators of the website.
To become an editor of the website and be able to modify all texts, register yourself at https://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/wp/wp-login.php?action=register, and ask on the Bt-Org list to upgrade your account to the level of an "editor", on which level you can modify all texts.
Only admins have permissions to change the menus (we can, and it's probably wise, to change this) new pages will not appear in the menu while an admin don't add it there (on the backoffice: Appearance->Menus)
facebook (and other social networks) try to get an image and show it as thumbnail when you share a link, to force it to show the correct image User:taborda followed this instructions and add this line on the webpage theme header.php (on sftp /appdata/wordpress/wp-content/themes/biketour_2012/header.php)
<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.ecotopiabiketour.net/wp/wp-content/uploads/biketour/2012/05/BT2012logo-social-en-e1337183509611.png" />

WARNING: Adding an img_src share preview image may take away the ability to let users select from various images when sharing your site. This code tells sites which image to chose rather than gives the user some options.
Used Wordpress plugins (or at least the most important)
These plugins were working fine on Wordpress 3.0.5 (bugs fixed manually by ecobytes) and shouldd keep working if it (hopefully) updated to a more recent WP version

texts
we have a lot of texts floating around: on this wiki, our old website, on the 2005 wiki and the 2004 wiki with quite some texts in Czech and German.
i worked on a structure of the website and will put all the ideas for texts to write here. those pages are divided in two part: first you will find the ideas behind this page, things to mention or to explain in detail, then the text. please work on both and discuss your ideas on the discussion part of that page - see it up there between article and edit.
