<h1>Expo Data Maintenance - Creating a New Year</h1>
<h2><a id="manual">Creating a New Year in the Expo online systems</a></h2>
<ul>
<li>This page <i>is a checklist for programmers</i> who are configuring the systems for next year's expo .
</ul>
<h3>Adding a new year in the Expo online systems</h3>
<p>There is no script to do this (yet). In the list below everything in expofiles is done by directly
overwriting what is on the server. Changes to <var>:expoweb:</var> and <var>:troggle:</var> must be done using the version control
system as these are <a href="../computing/repos.html">repositories</a>.
<h4>Well before Expo as these pages are used in planning</h4>
<ul>
<li>Create a new <var>expoweb</var> website folder e.g. /2021/ in
<ul>
<li>expoweb/years/
</ul>
<li>edit <var>expoweb/index.htm</var> - edit the title and make it link to e.g. <var>expoweb/years/2021/</var>
<li>edit <var>troggle/templates/base.html</var> - change the title and add a link to this year's expo
<li>copy the contents of the previous year's <var>expoweb/years/</var> folder, e.g. /2016/ to /2017/ and edit all the files therein. You should start with at least an index.html and a mission.html
<li>edit <var>expoweb/folk/folk.csv</var> - see below - to add a column for the coming year. Until that year column exists, the online system will be unaware that there is an expedition that year.
</ul>
<h4>Whenever you like before Expo</h4>
<ul>
<li>Create new subfolders e.g. /2021/ in <var>expofiles/</var>, in each of
<ul>
<li>expofiles/writeups/
<li>expofiles/photos/
<li>expofiles/gpslogs/
<li>expofiles/surveyscans/
<li>expofiles/accounts/ - optional. Used for archiving after expo.
<li>expofiles/videos/ - optional. We don't do this much.
</ul>
<li>copy <var>wallets.py</var> from the previous year's folder in <var>expofiles/surveyscans/</var> into the current year
<li>create 50 folders in the new surveyscans year folder e.g. in <var>expofiles/surveyscans/2021/</var> of the form /2021#01/, /2021#02/ etc.
<li>Test that the bierbook and seshbook LaTeX scripts <var>expoweb/documents/bierbook</var> work on your machine</li>
</ul>
<h4>A week or so before Expo</h4>
<ul>
<li>create initial versions of the bierbook and the seshbook in <var>expoweb/documents/bierbook</var>
(the final copies after expo will be scanned and put in
e.g. <var>expofiles/writeups/2021/</var> along with the scanned logbook). These need an updated <var>names.txt<var> file of expoers.
<li>update the gear tape colours for the expected expoers in <a href="../geartape.html"><var>/expoweb/handbook/geartape.html</a> </li>
<li>edit <var>expoweb/folk/folk.csv</var> - see below - to add people. Until a name is recorded in the Folk file that person will not be recognised within the online system as a cave surveyor or logbook entry writer.
<li>Create the Bank of Expo <a href="../bankofexpo.html"><var>boe</var></a> for the expected attendees.
This is done directly in an <var>ssh</var> terminal session on the server.
</ul>
<p>Edit <var>expoweb/folk/folk.csv</var> according to the instructions in the <a href="folkupdate.html">Folk Update process</a>.
</p>
Return to the main <a href="manual.html">online systems manual</a>.
