Imager Web: Maintenance Procedures

General page edits

• in general only edit content between "include("includes/top.php");" and "" The PHP code above and below control how the pages are displayed and if there is a problem then the entire page will look very weird.

The root files are currently in:

/ubc/cs/research/imager/imager/local/generic/web/new

Here is the current mapping of pages to file names (once we are certain of the page names Andre will make it a 1 to 1 mapping):

• "Home" "imager.php
• "About Us"
  • "Facilities", "laboverview.php"
  • "History", "history.php"
  • "Finding Us", "findingus.php"
  • "Contact", "contact.php"
  • "News and Events", "newsandevents.php"
  • "Meetings", "meetings.php"
  • "Images of Imager", "photos.php"
• "People"
  • "Faculty", "faculty.php"
  • "Post Docs", "postdocs.php"
  • "Students", "gradstudents.php"
  • "Alumni", "alumni.php"
  • "Staff", "staff.php"
• "Research"
  • "Graphics", "graphics.php"
  • "Visualization", "visualization.php"
  • "Human Centered Technologies", "hci.php"
  • "Publications"
  • "Papers", "papers.php"
  • "Theses", "theses.php"
  • "Courses", "courses.php"
  • "Joining Imager", "prospective.php"

Adding news and events

• Go to /includes/news.txt
• Add a list item at the top of the list. It is essential that you use the exact syntax (please copy paste): <li class='news'> your news here </li>. Any list items within your update should not have that class.
• If the news item is long please break it up by inserting <more> after a short snippet (please don't use <more> between any set of HTML tags (other than the li tags you use for the item)
• Save the file and go to the Imager website to ensure that nothing has broken.

Adding new faculty

Adding new students

Adding new publications

Theses:

• Publications:

• [placeholder] we could post a citation for the thesis at time of successful defense, then a web czar can update it with a link 6 months later in a batch job when doc is posted in CS archive.

Items that need to go on here somewhere:

• changing the # of non-archived events (right sidebar and NEws/Events page are set separately, but probably best to keep them at same value).
• eventually, how to unhide the alumni stuff if it indeed gets hidden (if this is at all complicated).
