This page is largely controlled from the data file _data/phys1910.yml with some Markdown text included to summarize the PHYS 1910 course.

Data structure

There are four components of the file _data/phys1910.yml.

1. A field current-year which maps to a string, which should contain the current year of the course e.g. “Fall 2019”.
2. A field years which maps to a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary in the list should contain all of the information about who was involved in a certain year i.e. the year of the course and the people involved. year maps to a string for the year of the course and people to a list of people who helped run the course. Each person in the people list should have a name, a string with the person’s name, an image a string which is the name of an image file expected to be located at /assets/img/pages/phys1910/<image>, a title which will be shown under their name on the page, and an email which will be shown under the title.
3. syllabus which is a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary in the list should contain information about the syllabus to include on the page, namely the year of the syllabus and a link to the pdf for that syllabus.
4. lectures which is a list of dictionaries. Each dictionary contains the lectures for a certain year and a list of recordings for that year. Each recording requires at least a speaker, a title.

About Page

The current-year variable should be set to the semester and year of the latest update. For example, if you only have information for this page updated until Fall 2018, you should have current-year: "Fall 2018". However, if you update this page to include information for Fall 2020, you should set current-year: "Fall 2020".

Add new syllabus

Add a new entry to the syllabus list that looks like:

syllabus:
- year: "Fall 2121"
  pdf: "<link-to-the-pdf>"

The link to the pdf can either be a link to a resource stored on Google drive (https://drive.google.com/...) or a link to a local resource stored on this site, e.g. /assets/pdf/phys1910/syllabusFall2121.pdf.

Add new course organizers

Add a new year to the years list, like so:

years:
- year: "Fall 2121"
  people:
  - name: Name of Person 1
    image: File_Person_1.jpg # will look for an image at /assets/img/pages/phys1910/File_Person_1.jpg
    title: Organizer
    email: person.ome@virginia.edu
  - name: Name of Person 2
    # continue the pattern from above

Lectures Page

Add a new lecture

Add a new entry to the lectures entry in the phys1910.yml file. If this is the first lecture for a given year, you will need to craete a new item in the lectures list with a year and recordings field with your first lecture as the only entry in the recordings list. If this isn’t the first lecture in a given year, you will need to add the new lecture within the existing recordings list for the corresponding year of the lecture.

lectures:
- year: "Fall 2121"
  recordings:
  - speaker: Name of the Speaker
    title: Title of Interesting Talk
    id: ec693cf7-a438-424c-87b7-163ba54b7a6f # if you don't have a recording ID, either leave this out or set id to "NA"
    slides: /assets/pdf/phys1910/speakers_slides.pdf # either a Google Drive link, other URL, or link to local asset

The id is the Panopto id for each video, which is taken from the Sharing URL generated by Panopto. e.g. with the URL: https://uva.hosted.panopto.com/Panopto/Pages/Viewer.aspx?id=56b00aca-62f6-49e7-9f25-a457ab330228 the id is the last part of this URL: 56b00aca-62f6-49e7-9f25-a457ab330228. If you don’t have an id but do have slides to share, you can leave it out or set id: "NA".
