In order to access the Parasollab web site, your SSH key will need to
be recognized by the server. Please send your SSH key to your graduate
mentor so that they can register it.
From your terminal, clone a local copy of the website: 'git clone
parasollab@web.illinois.edu:/home/parasollab/.git'
Access the People folder: 'cd public_html/people'
If you don't have a profile picture on the people page, add it to
the '/people/pictures' folder. Note that the image should have a
3X4 aspect ratio.
If you already have a personal website, skip the next step
Create Your Profile
If you do not have a personal website:
Create a folder named after your net ID
Copy the template index file to your folder, then go to your folder, and rename it
index.php
Type vim index.php to begin a VIM session with your webpage
(you can use any other text editor).
What you will see initially is a standard template, with some php
variables containing information about you. You will need to fill in this
information.
Navigate down the page until you reach the <p> tag. This is
where you can start making your changes.
If you are using the VIM editor, you can press i to enter
Insert mode and begin editing.
Type a short sentence about yourself (you can type more later) and
then press the Esc key to exit Insert mode.
Type :wq to save your changes and exit the VIM session.
Post Your Profile
Open 'people_listing.php' and find your appropriate listing
(faculty, phd student, etc...). Follow the example of other listings in
the file to create your own.
