Install and configure payment plug-in

Customize login page

Replace Indico logo with Dynamics so users know they are still on the same site.
See example here:

Ask to specify license on abstract submission

Abstracts associated with accepted presentations at a Dynamics meeting should be made persistently available on the website. If authors release abstracts under a permissive license, e.g., Creative Commons, then we don't have to worry about retroactively getting permission for retaining and disseminating these works.

Open call for abstracts

I would rather leave this to the conference organizers

Need to set headers if using a reverse proxy with nginx

When the Indico instance was restarted, we were unable to access the webpages, with the site returning an error message: "This Indico instance can only be accessed via https://dynamicsevolution.org". Page loads were logged under /home/indico/log/indico.log with the error message:

2024-05-14 16:14:01,147  INFO     9a7d98b9033b4fd0  1       indico.flask              Received request with invalid url root for http://dynamicsevolution.org/

@stevenweaver determined that the following lines needed to be added to the nginx config:

        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP  $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_redirect off;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";

need to modify header.html:

Document abstract management process

Configure site so that not all users can create events

It seems this is a Category-level setting:
https://learn.getindico.io/categories/protection/

Customize CSS

The CSS for an event can be found in the admin area under Customization and Layout

Upload materials from previous meetings

• These can be associated with other conference entries that we can mark as "archived".
• Do we need permission from the respective authors to publish abstracts? Can this be an opt-out system?
• Do we have digital versions of accepted abstracts, or do we need to use OCR to extract them from printed copies?

List virtual posters

We want to provide a way for virtual attendees to upload their poster as a PDF as well as a short video. The Contributions List menu seems to be a natural way to do this - however, this will display all contributions (including talks and in-person posters). In addition, this will display the abstract texts associated with the contributions (under the header Description).

I think we can prevent this from happening by modifying the file .venv/lib/python3.9/site-packages/indico/modules/events/contributions/templates/display/contribution_display.html - specifially by commenting out this block:

    {% if contribution.description %}
        <section>
            <div class="header">
                <div class="header-row">
                    <h3>{% trans %}Description{% endtrans %}</h3>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="description js-mathjax">
                {{ contribution.description }}
            </div>
        </section>
    {% endif %}

User account creation fails at verification e-mail step

A user attempted to create an account on our Indico site and never received their account verification e-mail.
I suspect the problem is that the Indico server does not have the right credentials to send an e-mail through the address specified in the configuration file (etc/indico.conf)

Word count for abstract?

Scientific program format is janky

<ul> elements have way too much space between items:

This is controlled by the following lines in _tracks.scss:

ul.tracks li {
  color: #555;
  margin-top: 2em;
}

Deactivating margin-top looks much better:

Change indico logo on landing page

https://talk.getindico.io/t/customizing-header-and-sign-in-logo/390

Scientific Program page bullet lists, items are too far apart

Currently looks like this:

This looks better if I turn off margin-top in the CSS:

ul.tracks li {
    color: #555;
    /* margin-top: 2em; */
}
