IISER Pune Online Semester Dashboard - January 2022

IISER Pune Online Semester Dashboard

A Links page for Online Semesters of IISER Pune

Example Website: https://adch99.github.io/jan-2022

This project is a template website for hosting the various links that are used during an online semester. It's a fairly simple layout and design made using Bootstrap but it turns out to be extremely useful.

How To Use

1. Fork this repo.
2. Create a Google Sheet containing all the relevant data of the course details and links. This is typically crowd-sourced to the whole batch. The sheet can be downloaded directly as CSV to the data directory. This can be automated by the google sheet API script in the repo (requires a google oauth account). An example is Spring 2021 Datasheet
3. Run the main.py script. This uses jinja2 to put all the data in a template from the templates directory.
4. Enable GitHub Pages for your repo.

Troubleshooting

1. The iiserid column for an instructor refers to the number at the end of their page on the IISER Pune website. For example: for Bhas Bapat the url is https://www.iiserpune.ac.in/people/faculty-details/135 so iiserid = 135. This column serves as the main index in the instructors datasheets, so it is very important to make sure that it exists for each instructor and that it is unique. If there is no such page for an instructor, make up a number but make sure it is not used for any other professor (starting from 1000 can be a good idea for such cases).
