the new group homepage
Basically a html page based on https://html5boilerplate.com/
There is some php:
- the group member section
- the news
- the update hook (internally)
those are taken from the csv file. To change stuff, add or remove people, just edit the people/people.csv file and make sure to save the file as csv (comma separated)
(see here for libreoffice: http://superuser.com/questions/717243/libreoffice-is-saving-csv-files-with-tabs-as-separators)
check the news folder to quickly add news items or teaching lists. see templates.
(This is the same as in the lisa2016 event homepage) A push to the github repro makes github trigger (call) the hook url that was entered in this repros settings. (https://github.com/AstroPhysicsUZH/group_homepage/settings/hooks)
The hook itself is a php script, located here: ./hooks/update_hook.php
It has tree security features:
- it exectures only fixed code in the file, no userinput (and only as user wwwrun)
- it checks if origin ip adress is either github or my computer
- the payload is encrypted with a password entered on the settings page ("secret") that only the server knows about.
It probably leads to a huge mess with user rights and ownership of files in the web folders that poor Roland has to clean up at some point with a chown -R wwwrun:www * . I'm sorry about that!
to (re)install the site:
- copy
init.phpinto the root of the directory chmod 777 init.php- fire it up from the machine named taurus using a web browser (or change the fixed ip in the script)
http://www.physik.uzh.ch/groups/jetzer/init.php
use this command to get the file:
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AstroPhysicsUZH/group_homepage/master/init.php && chmod 777 init.php
This will create a new clone of the repro and checks out master branch.
The access to init.php will then be prohibited by .htaccess file.
To update the page simply push to github organisation...
