Hi,
Here comes the macro collection XP 95 Premium plus (Sorry, Jan).
How to cook: Unpack the tar into your root directory (the one you gave me yesterday)
tar -xzf games_node.tgz
All the workfiles are now in the raw subdirectory. There are config files for each node:
cd raw cp config._your_node_ config
The secret weapon is a preprocessor called wpp. I got it from http://sourceforge.net/projects/wpp/ but since they seem to be updating now, I send you a copy of the distribution in case you're interested in the documentation; the preprocessor itself is written in perl and really small.
If your perl is not /usr/bin/perl you may change the first line in wpp. There is also an older version of bibtex2html which I hacked (for beauty). If it doesn't run on your computer, just use yours or ask me to send you the sources.
The executables should be where your system can find them.
cp wpp _your_path_ cp bibtex2html _your_path_
That's most of it. Try
make all
This should generate
index.html Research/index.html Research/index-bib.html Events/index.html.
If this works fine you only need to fill the templates with your contents
/raw/index.raw /raw/Events/index.raw /raw/Research/index.raw /raw/Research/index-bib.raw
There's nothing magic about them except maybe the first three lines, respectively the tails of the /Research/-files where bibliographies are generated. But the tricks there are easy to understand. (The $Date$-line seems to be essential).
I think it's enough if we announce vacancies on the main site. We might also place a short hint on the local home, but it'll probably not be worth an extra page on each site.
Good luck, tell me how it went!
See you,
D.
Hi Dietmar,
I've got some comments. Edinburgh page (new layout) is running now, but:
the page Research/index-bib.html doesn't validate (check with w3c validator on the Aachen page - my is fixed by now), because of <font> tag in bibliographies. As my webserver doesn't allow me use pages which do not validate, I found this quite annoying. Removing the <font> tag helps.
It's necessary to fix the page titles (and the line showing where you currently are) by hand, even though the script knows which node is being created.
What about the publications? Should we submit it to you every time we get one?
Anyway - good job, even though I liked my SSI style webpage more :-). I'll learn from this and will never ever be too active again ;-)

Hi All,
I'm installing the web page in Paris. It seems to be correctly working but there is no link for the moment from the url www.liafa.jussieu.fr/games/accueil to the page (I first have to complete all pages and to meet the system administrator -:)
I've noted a problem on Jan's page in Edinburg: I was not allowed, in the main page, to see the page http://www.lfcs.informatics.ed.ac.uk/research/games/Task/ (the one linked from "Task 7").
Olivier
Hi Olivier,
I see you are working on the Paris site. The pages seem to be linked to /~games instead of /games/accueil. Is this intentional?
Erich didn't agree with the background tag in the navigation. I changed it Task @TASK@ in the update which I sent you on Tuesday (just overwrite the old /raw/templates/head.tmpl before you regenerate the site).
Did bib2html work fine?
Best

Hello Jan,
I've got some comments. Edinburgh page (new layout) is running now, but:
my browser still doesn't get the css for your page. Moreover, in Research/index-bib only half of the <font> seem to be removed, there are still size=-1> floating.
the page Research/index-bib.html doesn't validate (check with w3c validator on the Aachen page - my is fixed by now), because of <font> tag in bibliographies. As my webserver doesn't allow me use pages which do not validate, I found this quite annoying. Removing the <font> tag helps.
Yes, right. I'll change this in bibtex2html and send you the new version.
It's necessary to fix the page titles (and the line showing where you currently are) by hand, even though the script knows which node is being created.
Good point, I'll fix this in a moment.
What about the publications? Should we submit it to you every time we get one?
Yes, just send me the full BIBTEX entries (with ABSTRACT, URL, and TASK-fields) . When I compile them for the publications on the main page I can generate the local pages in one swap (there might also be publications related to more than one task).
Anyway - good job, even though I liked my SSI style webpage more :-). I'll learn from this and will never ever be too active again ;-)
Jan
I hope you didn't delete your source files, I'd like to see the SSI sources. We can't do that here, our sysadmin is also very restrictive (but therefor we may display invalid html as we like).
Best
Dietmar
my browser still doesn't get the css for your page.
For the benefit of others, who are forced to use strangely configured webservers (e.g. missing "AddType text/css css") and do not use Mozilla/Netscape (I use Opera, personally). My web server returns type "text/plain" for the style sheet, and Mozilla is too picky and doesn't accept it. It's described here:
http://devedge.netscape.com/viewsource/2002/incorrect-mime-types/
I'll fix it, at some point.

Dear Dietmar
I have noted a little error. For the page on events the link to past events does not work. In the code you have forgotten a capital letter at the beginning of "past" (change "past" -> "Past")
Olivier
Dear friends,
on account of what Jan, Olivier, and Erich said I changed the following:
bibtex2html not to generate any more <font>-tags in -bib and -abstracts (invalid html) (Jan) head.tmpl Background-button renamed to Task @TASK@ (Erich) config._yournode_ @TASK@ (number) and @TASKNAME@ (full title) added
*.raw breadcrumbs and <title> automatized (Jan) /Events/index.raw anchor Past corrected (Olivier) /Research/*.raw Material instead of notes (Erich)
(Erich's probably right when he says "Background" is not eloquent enough).
If you already filled in the templates make sure not to unpack the archive into your root directory - just overwrite bibtex2html + head.tmp + config and remake.
I'll now update the main site to the new layout and regenerat the Publication pages (with the new navigation head + a title specifying the task). Towards that I'd appreciate receiving your publication files asap ;).
Have fun
D.
Hi all.
The new URL for Bx is : http://games.labri.fr/
Many thanks for updating your config files.
Cheers.
