Editing Events

The same steps apply as for adding new content. Make sure you have read and understood the Contributor's Workflow. Especially, make sure, you have updated your local copy.

The following steps are to be done in Step 2 of the Contributor's Workflow, after you have switched onto a separate branch.

The events are split up into two groups: upcoming and past.

Creating a New Event (past or upcoming)

To add a new event (upcoming or past), copy the appropriate template (event past template or event past template) into the corresponding folder (_events_past or _events_upcoming), rename it to be a .md file while complying with the naming convention and fill it with your content accordingly. It will automaticallymagically show up on the events index page.

Continue with Step 3 of the Contributor's Workflow.

Moving an Event from upcoming to past

Just move the corresponding .md file from _events_upcoming to _events_past.
That's it.

Before adding a new news post, read the source of the news_post template carefully.

To add a new news post, copy the news_post template into the _posts folder, rename it to be a .md file while complying with the news post naming convention and fill it with your content accordingly. It will automaticallymagically show up on the site's front page.

Project pages, those which show up on the projects index page under all topics they belong to, reside in the _projects folder.

There is a speciality with project pages, as they will be used by an automated script to generate the LaTeX sources for the annual JLESC report. The curious can read more about the LaTeX Report Generator.

Before adding a new project, read the source of the project_page template carefully.

Adding a new project starts with two steps:

  1. Copy the project_page template to the _project folder and rename it according to the scheme describe in the template's "How To Use This Template"-comment.

  2. Copy the accompanying BibTeX file for the project's external references to the _bibliography/externals folder and name it exactly as the project file. But with the file extension .bib instead of .md.

Now follow the instructions in both the project file and the corresponding BibTeX file closely.

Follow them both to the very end of the files!
