<h1>The list of people on expo</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>These are nerd-instructions. Find a nerd if you think this needs to be done.
|
|
|
|
<h3 id="import">The folk list</a></h3>
|
|
<p>This is part of the <a href="newyear.html">"new expo year"</a> preparations.
|
|
The folk.csv file is stored on the server under version control in the <var>:expoweb:</var> <a href="../computing/repos.html">repository</a> in
|
|
<code>expoweb/folk/folk.csv</code>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before expo starts the folk.csv file is updated.
|
|
|
|
<p>Edit folk/folk.csv, adding the new year to the end of the header line, a new column, with just a comma (blank cell) for people who weren't there, a 1 for people who are there, and a -1 for people who are there but didn't go caving.
|
|
This is adding an extra column to every line in the file.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Add new lines for new people, with the right number of columns.
|
|
|
|
<p>This process is tedious and error-prone and ripe for improvement especially as expo proceeds and you have many more names to add. Adding a list of people from the bier book and their aliases (the name in brackets) would be a lot better, but some way to make sure that names match with previous years would be good.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Contrary to what you might expect we find that it is much more reliable to edit this using a text editor rather than a spreadsheet program.
|
|
|
|
<p>The nerd can log in using the 'expo' userid.
|
|
|
|
<p>The nerd needs to do this:
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Upload the edited copy of folk.csv to the server using the version control system.
|
|
<li>Log in to the expo server and run the update script (see below)
|
|
<li>Watch any error messages scroll by.
|
|
<li>Look at the new folk list HTML file at <a href="http://expo.survex.com/folk/">http://expo.survex.com/folk/</a>
|
|
<li>Re-run the import script until you have got rid of all the import errors.
|
|
</ol>
|
|
<p>This is how you login and run the script:
|
|
<pre><code>ssh expo@expo.survex.com
|
|
cd expoweb/folk
|
|
chmod +w index.htm
|
|
python ../scripts/make-folklist.py <folk.csv >index.htm
|
|
</code></pre>
|
|
<p>If there are no errors, you will just see the prompt reappear in your ssh session
|
|
and you will see the result online at <a href="http://expo.survex.com/folk/">http://expo.survex.com/folk/</a>.
|
|
<p>It is recommended that the nerd does this locally on their own laptop first. It does not need to be an expo laptop, even a Windows 10 laptop is fine if the script is run in a WSL terminal. The only software you need to install is the default python package.
|
|
|
|
<h4>History</h4>
|
|
<p>This bizarre Folk update process is a relic of the pre-troggle "<a href="../website-history.html">script and spreadsheet</a>" phase of the Expo website.
|
|
Another relic is <a href="../troggle/scriptsqms.html">the complex QM process</a>.
|
|
The <a href="../survey/onlinewallet.html"><var>wallets.py</var> script</a> actually post-dates troggle, but was written stand-alone
|
|
because of the steep learning curve of getting to grips with Django and because troggle in those days was undocumented.
|
|
All these will (2021+) eventually be merged into troggle - we hope.
