Journal Club Homepage

Welcome to the homepage for the Journal Club seminars and meetings of the Doctoral School in Physics and Astrophysics of the Università degli Studi di Torino. This is the code associated to the page, which however is separately hosted on a Raspbian server on a Raspberry Pi (at least for the time being) using Apache, MySQL/MariaDB and PHP v.7.

Introduction

This is the static version of the dynamic hosted webpage. Once you clone the project with git clone, you can simply open index.html in a web browser to display the page.

In this repository you will find generally the whole file tree which is hosted on the server. You can also find the PHP version of the main file (index.php as a reference, though it will not work unless you can run a LAMP server.

The dynamic page is also a Progressive Web App: it can be displayed as a native app on most smartphones and it can work offline using the caching system. This static version has no such function but you can find the Service Worker file sw.js in the project, as well.

Project Structure

Inside the project you can find several file and directories, such as:

• abstract:
  • abstract.php: this is the file that in the hosted page (not the static version) generates the PDF files which you can access through buttons. As you can find in main.js, though in the static version it has been disabled, there exist a sort of administrator view accessible through a keyboard shortcut which will let you generate the PDF for the first time.
• bulletin:
  • message.md: Markdown file with the message of the day/week/month
  • Parsedown.php: external library which translates the message of the day in HTML tags to be displayed on the hosted page (in the static version it is not referenced)
• css:
  • main.css: CSS file for the page
  • main.min.css: minified version of the CSS file
• images:
  • most of the images are needed for the Progressive Web App functionality in the manifest.json. In the page you will mostly need the jpg files (which should be Progressive JPEG).
• js:
  • gallery.js: Javascript for the slideshow
  • gallery.min.js: minified version
  • main.js: admin mode code and service worker registration
  • main.min.js: minified version
  • menue.js: navbar code
  • menue.min.js: minified version
• index.html: static webpage
• index.php: dynamic PHP page
• manifest.json: declaration of the page properties
• sw.js: Service Worker file
• README.md: this file
• CONTRIBUTING.md: contribution guidelines
• LICENSE: license file
