Rbrgp (Build Research Group Pages)

Create internal and external "set of standard webpages for a research group" .

To build a page you must login to a departmental research machine running UNIX (currently myrtle.kent.ac.uk) and use the build script described below.

Usage

Rbrgp     research_group_directory_name

Example: 

Rbrgp compint

Requirements

  • The Research Group Pages consists of a core set of webpages conforming to a standard style. Every research group is allocated its own core set of Research Group Pages which it must tailor to reflect its own research group's interests and membership.

    Every time you want to update one or more of your research group's core set of pages you should first update the relevant content file(s) and then run the Rbrgp utility. The set of Research Group Pages and associated content files are listed below. Please note that the content file should be stored under the research group directory, eg. the grants content file for the compint group should be
            

    /web/cs/docs/research/groups/compint/grants

    Those content files which must be stored in sub-directories of the research group directory are listed with the relative path, eg. the events/seminars content file for the compint group should be
            
    /web/cs/docs/research/groups/compint/events/seminars

  • You can suppliment this core set of webpages by creating additional webpages and providing links to them. These additional webpages are built using bpage (the standard build page utility)

Notes

  • You can only regenerate a research group's home page if you are a member of staff with an Unix account in group 
    cur

  • research_group_directory_name
    is the abbreviated name of the research group whose home page you wish to regenerate, as used in the URL for that research group.

    For example, the relative URL of the Computational Intelligence Group's main webpage is 

              /research/groups/compint/index.html
    Hence, the research_group_directory_name is   compint  

  • The list of abbreviated research group names is currently:

    Abbreviated nameFull research group name
    compintComputational Intelligence Research Group
    compeduComputing Education Research Group
    issInformation Systems Security Group
    plasProgramming Languages and Systems Research Group


  • These pages will be served from the web server (
    http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk
    ) at: 
    	/research/<research_group_directory_name>/index.html
    and 
    	/research/<research_group_directory_name>/index.local
    respectively, where 
    <research_group_directory_name>
    is the abbreviated research group name for that group.
