Step 1: Download the Web guide

Download the latest version of the ConfApp web guide at github.com/confapp/web_guide/releases (download confapp_web_guide_[version].zip, not the source) and unzip.

Step 2: Download the conference database

In Chrome, navigate to the ConfApp admin site (admin.conf-app.com) and select your conference. At the bottom of the page, click "Download Current Database":

click "Download Current Database".

Extract the contents of the .zip file into the web guide folder (let's say /path/to/confapp_web_guide). You should end up with three additional files in the web guide folder:

  • /path/to/confapp_web_guide/database/[conference_id]_[version].json
  • /path/to/confapp_web_guide/database/[conference_id]_[version].jsonp
  • /path/to/confapp_web_guide/database/[conference_id]_[version].sqlite3

Step 3: Modify index.html to point to downloaded database

Modify /path/to/confapp_web_guide/index.html. Modify the line:

databaseURL: false

to read (replacing [conference_id] and [version] with your downloaded database information):

databaseURL: 'database/[conference_id]_[version].json'

Step 4: Check Web program

Open index.html in a browser and verify that the information looks correct. You may also want to modify index.html or any of the CSS files it references

Step 5: Upload

Upload /path/to/confapp_web_guide to your Web server
