Developer workflow

Create member pages from photos

Nine steps — name photos, drop them in one folder, then use Workbench.

Start LifeLoveMe — double-click StartLifeLoveMe.command.
Open Workbench — Communities → Workbench (run WorkbenchHelper.command once if helper is off).
Put photos in ~/LifeLoveMe_Imports/member_photos/ (created automatically on first use).
Name photos
- ankit-1.jpg = profile photo → becomes avatar.jpg
- ankit-2.jpg, ankit-3.jpg, … = gallery photos
In Workbench, open section Create Member Page.
Enter the person’s name (e.g. Ankit). Relationship is optional.
Click Create Member Page. Photos are compressed (about 200 KB each) and copied to the page.
Click Preview page to open the new personal page.
Click Copy WhatsApp message to invite them with the link.

Naming tips

Use the person’s first name in lowercase: renu-1.jpg, subodh-2.jpg.
Number 1 is always the profile picture.
JPG, JPEG, PNG, or HEIC work; output is always JPG for the site.

When to run prepare deploy (for this workflow)

Use ./scripts/prepare_deploy.sh when you want the latest member-page changes in deploy/web_public/ for local deploy-style testing or Netlify deployment.

Run it before Netlify deploy.
Run it after member pages, shared JS/CSS, or Help pages change.
Run it if deploy preview looks stale.

For normal local iteration, you usually do not need it every time:

StartLifeLoveMe.command is enough for regular local testing.
repair_personal_pages.sh is enough for personal-page repair/sync.
LLM_SKIP_PREPARE=1 is useful for fast startup when deploy files are already current.

Advanced — batch intake without Workbench button

python3 scripts/intake_member_photos.py
python3 scripts/create_member_page_from_intake.py --name Ankit --json
