Dev Notes

General Notes

Things that must be done before deployment

  • GMACS MODES and ETC applets are not included in this package, and need to be added. After they have been added, be sure to link them up on the instruments/gmacs/ page.
    Anything hidden from direct link on the old site (like the meeting powerpoint submission page) is also not included. I suspect there are other hidden things that I wasn’t aware of.

The rest

  • This package doesn’t include the DES Collaboration site. It’s still on the server, though, if you want to keep it/add it.
  • There are some extra splash images (and credits) in /assets/splash, maybe they need some color changes but just giving a couple options/ideas.
  • In Publications, URLs to papers’ adsabs page have been updated in accordance with their new database system.
  • In Previous Team Members page (through People page), please ensure that information is accurate.
  • In Past Lab Projects, LIGOcam does not have a page, as it did not previously have a page.
  • On Honors and Awards page, dead link to Ethel Ashworth-Tsutsui Memorial Award for Mentoring was excluded. (dead link: http://us.tamu.edu/2012/08/aggie-academics-invade-amsterdam/)
  • I suspect the Reflectivity page needs to be re-worked with new black and white studies and supporting data.
  • In Ph.D. Degree Alumni page, the lines Current Position and Advisor have been omitted, as they do not yet have content on the old page. I’ve left those lines commented so someone can easily add them as they become known.
  • REU 2019 not included because I don’t have any of the information.
  • I really like /instruments/assets/LastPieceofGlass_wb.jpg as the header image for the GMT instrument page (/instruments/gmt). However, they require that a proper permission request be made by contacting info@gmto.org.

Deployment

If you don’t wish to deploy the site to the root directory of the web portal (http://instrumentation.tamu.edu), you’ll need to change the (currently empty) baseurl: paraemter in /_config.yaml. For example, while testing previously, this was set to baseurl: jekylltest/_site.
Otherwise, if you’re ready to make the switch, make the _site folder the root directory of http://instrumentation.tamu.edu.
All the contents for public viewing are contained in _site

Access Permissions

An access control list (ACL) must be created for the Jekyll folder, all its contents, and anything that is added/copied into it (inheritance).

chmod +a "group:examplegroup allow list,add_file,search,add_subdirectory,delete_child,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /path/to/folder
