1. Source

The portal source lives in module portal of our git server. The main check-out is in /afs/hcoop.net/user/h/hc/hcoop/portal.

2. Building

Run become_hcoop before modifying files in the main check-out or running any git commands that would modify it.

To build it yourself:

  • There are small CGI wrappers which just run compiled binaries in ~hcoop/portal/out/. mlt.conf contains CGI publish path (modify this to suit your system if building locally). These wrappers are generated automatically by mlt.

  • To recompile and publish on deleuze:

    become_hcoop
    cd ~/portal
    mlt

header.mlt and footer.mlt are built from assorted other files. Running make in a check-out directory should build them. See the Makefile for how they're built. Note that make won't publish changes that you make onto the real web sites; you must use mlt for that.

Needed files for building:

  • hcoop_header is the one line script cat /etc/hcoop.header | sed "s/TITLE/$1/g"

  • hcoop_footer is the one line script cat /etc/hcoop.footer

  • You need /etc/hcoop.header and /etc/hcoop.footer, which are
    <html><head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/hcoop.css" />
    <title>TITLE</title>
    </head><body>
    
    <div class="main">
    
    <div class="title">
    <img class="globe" src="/globe.gif" />
    <h1>TITLE</h1>
    </div>
    
    <div class="break"></div>
    </div>
    
    </body></html>

2.1. Application Within the Portal

There are some subdirectories of portal that contain different web apps, like app (the source for join.hcoop.net). You must run mlt separately in any of these directories to publish changes in it. These include:

  • app/ The Join script

  • contact/ Appears to be unused (does not build)

  • listaddrs/ Unknown

  • mailman/ Unknown

  • passgen/ Password reset tool

  • remind/ Low balance reminder

  • static/ Public member directory

  • vmailpasswd Vmail password changing

3. Adding Machine

To support user requests for a machine, insert a WebNode into the database. The Debian version should be the release name (e.g. "squeeze").

INSERT INTO WebNode (id, name, descr, debian)
        VALUES ((select max(id)+1 from WebNode), $HOST, $DESCRIPTION, $DEBIANVERSION);
