General Information

See readme in itc-template repo.

Collections

See also: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/collections/

Collection properties are set in _config.yml. They should have a title and url, which enables automatic breadcrumb, title, and sidebar generation.

Sidebar

Pages can have an additional sidebar listing all pages in a collection, e.g. as in "About ITC" or "ITC Library" pages.

To enable the sidebar, set the sidebar attribute to a respective collection. To enable the sidebar on whole subdirectories, use the defaults section in _config.yml

ITC Library

ITC Library pages are usually not manually written but auto-generated using bibfetch.py. See The corresponding entry under scripts.

ITC Library pages can have a sprite attribute to set the icon used on the overview page. The default sprite is defined in _config.yml under defaults.

Sprites must be set manually, as bibfetch.py script does not do this automatically.

Repositories

• This repo contains https://itc-conference.org

• ITC template repo for new ITC sites: https://github.com/lsinfo3/itc-template

• Paper repos are here:

  • Public papers, bib files, and bibsonomy prepare script: https://gitlab2.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/itc-conference/itc-publications-public
  • Private papers (only pdfs): https://gitlab2.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/itc-conference/itc-publications-private

• Repo used to redirect i-teletraffic.org to itc-conference.org: https://github.com/lsinfo3/i-teletraffic-redirect

  It is not possible to redirect domains to other domains using Host Europe, because apparently, it is not included in the in the "Domain Basic" package. Github also allows only one domain per repository.

  As a workaround, we connected i-teletraffic to this repo and added a single index.html that redirects to itc-conference.org.

• Archive of older ITCs: https://github.com/lsinfo3/itc-clones

  Is connected to archive.itc-conference.org. Pages can be accessed using archive.itc-conference.org/itcXY.

Scripts

First, install dependencies

$ pip install -r scripts/requirements.txt

All scripts have a -h/--help flag documenting their usage.

bibfetch.py

Usage: bibfetch.py <tag>

Fetches all entries with the given tag from bibsonomy and generates the library page from it.

Requires a bibsonomy API key. See also bibfetch.py -h.

convertpage.py

Usage: convertpage.py <html_files>...

Converts ITC html pages to jekyll markdown pages.
Was used to port the website over to jekyll and is probably no longer needed.

Adding a new conference

1. Create entry in _congresses

2. Create entry in _redirect

3. Upload papers to bibsonomy

   See readme in public paper repo on how to prepare bib files: https://gitlab2.informatik.uni-wuerzburg.de/itc-conference/itc-publications-public

4. Generate entry in _itc-library using bibfetch.py

See the individual sections for further information on each step.

Adding a congresses entry

See other conference pages for more detailed examples.

1. Create a new file in _congresses with the name itcXXX.md (filename matters!).
2. Set the confdate and conftitle attribute to enable auto-generation of the overview page (congresses.md).
3. Add content

Redirects

The _redirect subfolder contains pages that redirect to the respective ITC site, so that each site can be accessed using https://itc-conference.org/itcXY.

Note: To assign a custom domain, see here.

To add a new redirect, create a new file in the _redirectfolder and set the target attribute to the desired URL, e.g. for ITC 31:

itc31.html:

---
target: https://itc31.itc-conference.org
---
