---++General page edits

   * in general only edit content between "include("includes/top.php");" and "<?php include("includes/footer.php");?>" The PHP code above and below control how the pages are displayed and if there is a problem then the entire page will look very weird. 

The root files are currently in: 

*/ubc/cs/research/imager/local/generic/web/*

Here is the current mapping of pages to file names (once we are certain of the page names Andre will make it a 1 to 1 mapping):
   * "Home" "imager.php
   * "About Us"
      * "Facilities", "laboverview.php"
      * "History", "history.php"
      * "Finding Us", "findingus.php"
      * "Contact", "contact.php"
      * "News and Events", "newsandevents.php"
      * "Meetings", "meetings.php"
      * "Images of Imager", "photos.php"
   * "People"
      * "Faculty", "faculty.php"
      * "Post Docs", "postdocs.php"
      * "Students", "gradstudents.php"
      * "Alumni", "alumni.php"
      * "Staff", "staff.php"
   * "Research"
      * "Graphics", "graphics.php"
      * "Visualization", "visualization.php"
      * "Human Centered Technologies", "hci.php"
      * "Publications"
      * "Papers", "papers.php"
      * "Theses", "theses.php"
      * "Courses", "courses.php"
      * "Joining Imager", "prospective.php"

---++Adding news and events
   * Go to /includes/news.txt
   * Add a list item at the top of the list. It is essential that you use the exact syntax (please copy paste): &lt;li class='news'&gt; your news here &lt;/li&gt;. Any list items within your update should not have that class.
   * If the news item is long please break it up by inserting  &lt;more&gt; after a short snippet (please don't use  &lt;more&gt;  between any set of HTML tags (other than the li tags you use for the item)
   * Save the file and go to the Imager website to ensure that nothing has broken.

---++Adding Pictures to the top right rotator
   * Go to: /ubc/cs/research/imager/imager/local/generic/web/images/photos/rotator
   * Find the folder with your name, or create one.
   * Put pictures in that folder
   * Go to  /ubc/cs/research/imager/imager/local/generic/web/imageloader.js
   * on line 11 there is an array called "thePics". Add items to the bottom of that array in the following format: 'yourname/filename', 'caption', 'link'
   * A suggested format is that the name should be that the caption mention the paper and students while the link links to the paper.

---++Adding new faculty
   * New faculty need to be updated in 3 places. The home page, the research pages and the faculty page.
   * Add a 85x85px picture in the images folder
   * Home page: go to /ubc/cs/research/imager/imager/local/generic/web/imager.php and follow the commented instructions on that page.
   * Faculty page: go to /ubc/cs/research/imager/imager/local/generic/web/faculty.php and follow the commented instructions on that page.
   * Research Page: go to /ubc/cs/research/imager/imager/local/generic/web/*researchPage*.php where research page is either *graphics*, *hci* or *visualization*. Follow commented the instructions on the page.
---++Adding new students

---++Adding new publications

---+++ Theses:
   * Publications:

   * [placeholder] we could post a citation for the thesis at time of successful defense, then a web czar can update it with a link 6 months later in a batch job when doc is posted in CS archive.

---+Items that need to go on here somewhere:

   * changing the # of non-archived events (right sidebar and NEws/Events page are set separately, but probably best to keep them at same value).
   * eventually, how to unhide the alumni stuff if it indeed gets hidden (if this is at all complicated).
