Mentions of people should be hyperlinked #1

Open karthikraman opened 6 years ago

e.g. Electives page: Clicking on "B. Ravindran" should go to the people page for B. Ravindran.

The ilds website had separate pages for faculty, students, collaborators. Should we have individual pages here for everyone associated, or follow the same format as before?

Secondly, we don't have the tags of people's interests as of now. Do we create the main 'People' page with just the photos (that we have) and their designations (no tags)?

Currently information about people is serialized in Jekyll's Data Files which, to the best of my knowledge, has no option to generate a page for each member in the people data file.

Jekyll's Collections , however, offers serialization and individual pages for each member of the collection.

We can use collections instead of the current data files to achieve what we desire. We will have individual pages for each member and we can hyperlink from any other page like electives using the permalinks.

I can do this but will need some time as I have seminar ppt deadline at midnight.

@DenzilFrancisCrasta This is not an urgent requirement, but should happen over time. Check the IBSE webpage, where this happens (at least in some places). For example: https://ibse-iitm.github.io/team/Karthik-Raman shows my papers, and the news page shows the author names hyperlinked to the people page...

@abhisheknaik96, yes we need separate pages for everything possible. Again, see the organisation of https://github.com/IBSE-IITM/ibse-iitm.github.io/tree/master/team/_posts for example. It's so much easier to blame/track edits that way.

I have pushed changes using jekyll's collections. We will need to add a file for each member under the _members folder. Add any extra attributes like courses to the front matter of the individual files. Css and image linking is currently broken which I will fix in some time

abhisheknaik96 commented 6 years ago

I've scraped and added a lot of information about the people - faculty, collaborators. I couldn't figure out the flags for jekyll to look into subfolders inside _members, which @DenzilFrancisCrasta will look into.

Nice work.. Small note: have all yml files with .yml extenstion, rather than .html? Thanks!

abhisheknaik96 commented 6 years ago

Done. Also fixed the People page with a new member attribute - faculty, collaborator.
