CS106A Winter 2018 Website

Making New Announcements

To add announcements to the main page, modify templates/index.html to add your new content.

Testing Locally

To compile all references and links to test locally, from the root directory run

python compile.py -t

This compiles all templates in the templates folder and, preserving directory structure, creates all HTML and resource files in the root directory. Then, to host the compiled site locally, from the root directory run

python -m SimpleHTTPServer

This will host the site on localhost:8000.

Compiling/Pushing

To compile all references and links for external hosting, from the root directory run

python compile.py

This compiles all templates in the templates folder and, preserving directory structure, creates all HTML and resource files in the root directory.

Then, commit and push the changes up to the GitHub repo. When you're ready to deploy the changes to the CS106A site, you'll need to pull these changes down to the repo copy on AFS. To do this, SSH into myth, and navigate to the class website directory (/afs/ir/class/cs106a/WWW) and run git pull to pull down your new changes. The updates should be immediately deployed to cs106a.stanford.edu. (Note that you'll need permissions to access this course directory).
