This README will give a short intoduction to the Github-Pages structure of itpplasma.github.io. It's supposed to help add posts, edit pages or the whole site, and give some explanations to the html-background "code".
If you want to add some information or a post to the ITP Plasma Homepage, and you cannot find instructions in this README, or for just any questions please get in touch with me, ideally at the next meeting or via e-mail: vkeusch@student.tugraz.at Thanks a lot!
The majority of this Github Page is written in either Markdown (for text and so all of the content) or HTML. Here you can find a Cheatsheet for Markdown, as most of the content is/will be in Markdown files (as it's easier to write and read than html, at least in my opinion).
Comparing itpplasma.github.io on Github with itpplasma.github.io:
In Main:
- The "Home" page/starting page (https://itpplasma.github.io/) can be found in index.md.
- Research is research.md. Here it maybe would be nice if every Topic/Working Group from the Kan Ban could write a few sentences about their research topic, maybe include a few pictures and references to team members and publications if applicable
- The Publications link right now leads directly to itpplasma at Zootero. So publications.md is currently not in use.
- ==News==== can be found at newsupdates.md. Depending on what's easier to read and use, you can edit the News directly in there, by maybe just making a new header and writing below, or as it is currently also on display, you can write a seperate "post" for each new News article. The posts can be found in the _posts directory, where two examples can be found. All the posts are automatically displayed (by the lines 28 to 54 in newsupdates.md) with their whole content in the News-Section. If the news are longer, this can be changed to just displaying the title or the first few sentences, where then the post link leads to the full news entry.
Folders:
- Viki's Trial and Error Grounds: A graveyard for past ideas (mainly layouts), as I didn't want to delete them immediately but wanted to commemorate them. Please do not touch, other than to maybe delete the whole folder eventually if I don't do it myself.
- _includes includes parts of the overall layouts. most importantly: * navbar.html where the Navigation Bar at the Top with the links to index.md, the News, Team, Research, and Students sections can be found. * footer_new.html and * head.html, which now only inlcudes the ITPCP and TU Graz logos and links on the top corners
- _layouts including the newdefault.html layout which all "normal pages" use as their default layout. (Has to or well should be included with
--- (Absatz) layout: newdefault (Absatz) ---. The post.html is exclusively used for posts in _posts - _posts (see News above)
- assets inlcuding all pictures/images
- students where the student's sections can be found and last but definitely not least
- ==team== Here you can find the Team section. Please add your name, position, research areas/topics as well as a few sentences about yourself and your research. Please also feel free to include a picture of yourself if you like. There was also an idea of including 2-3 "interview-style" questions, such as "Why are you in fusion research?" or non subject-specific "What's your favourite food?"
