with a cavey:beery password. Ask someone if this isn't enough clue for you.
<b>This password is important for security</b>. The whole site <strong>will</strong> get hacked by spammers or worse if you are not careful with it. Use a secure method for passing it on to others that need to know (i.e not unencrypted email), don't publish it anywhere, don't check it in to the data management system by accident. A lot of people use it and changing it is a pain for everyone so do take a bit of care.
<p>This password is all you need to log in to troggle and to use the troggle control panel (very few people need to do this). But if you want to update webpages (a much more common requirement) or to edit the software itself (very rare), then
<p>Pushing cave data to the ::loser:: and ::drawings:: repositories also needs a key. So cavers entering their cave survey data have to use a machine on which this already set up. These machines are
<li><ahref="/repositories/home/expo/loser/graph/">loser</a> - the survex cave survey data (hg)</li>
<li><ahref="/cgit/drawings/.git/log">drawings</a> - the tunnel and therion cave data and drawings (git)</li>
<li><ahref="/repositories/home/expo/expoweb/graph">expoweb</a> - the website pages, handbook, generation scripts (hg)</li>
<li><ahref="/cgit/troggle/.git/log">troggle</a> - the database/software part of the survey data management system - see <ahref="computing/troggle-ish.html">notes on troggle</a> for further explanation (git)</li>
<p> Currently (December 2019) after commiting and pushing your changes to expoweb to the mercurial server, you will need to
login to expo.survex.com using ssh, cd to /expoweb/ and issue a "<ahref="https://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hg.1.html">hg update</a>" command to make your changes noticed by the webserver. This problem will go away before Expo 2020 - we hope - when we finish migrating from mercurial to git.

<p>Anything you check in which affects cave data or descriptions won't appear on the site until
they have to be 'pulled' from the repo (on teh server machine) onto the webserver (another place on the same server machine) before your changes are reflected.</p>
<p>Setting your own laptop so that it can do everything the <i>expo laptop</i> can do is quite a
complicated process. At a minimum you will be an experienced software nerd already and will have git, mercurial and a text editor installed and you will know how to use them.
<p>Note that the instructions are primarily for people using Linux with some help for those using Windows. If you are a Mac user then you are on your own.
<p>This is the capability that you can see in the top-left-hand menu on any website page if you <ahref="/accounts/login/">log in to troggle</a> using the <ahref="#usernamepassword">cavey:beery password</a>.
<p>'Edit This Page' is a troggle capability edits the file served by the webserver but it does not update the copy of the file in the
repository (the invese of the problem described above as 'Mercurial Website Hack'). To properly finish the job you need to
<p>Simple changes to static HTML files will take effect immediately (or as soon as the hg update hack is done, but this will disappear when we move entirely to git),
but changes to dynamically-generated files - cave descriptions, QM lists etc. -
will not take effect, until a nerd runs the expoweb-update script on the server.</p>
<p>The import scripts for the cave data are currently (Feb.2020) run manually by a nerd. So if you enter cave data,logbooks or survey scans you won't see the result
<p>Clicking on 'New cave' (at the bottom of the cave index) lets you enter a new cave. <ahref="computing/caveentry.html">Info on how to enter new caves has been split into its own page</a>.</p>
