OVERVIEW

The source for the web page advertising assorted CMMID project work.

Adding NEW posts

To add a new post to the website, add a new markdown or html file to the correct category under /topic/category/subcategory

Copy the /topics/YYYY-MM-DD-post-template.md as a template to work on

Front-matter variables are optional, but the following are available:

title: Title of the post description: Short description of post status: in-progress, under-review, or published update: YYYY-MM-DD when post was updated

Posts without the status 'accepted' or 'published' will automatically show the "Ths study is not peer-reviewed" message. To suppress this message, set suppress_peerreviewed: true

authors:

• id: author_1
• id: author_2
• id: author_3

If you want to use mathjax, tabs, or other objects regularly used in Rmarkdown html files:

1. set 'output: html_fragment' in your rmarkdown file
2. set rmarkdown_html_fragment: true in the front-matter of your post

Adding TRANSLATED posts

Post translations should be added in the corresponding folder under /translations/xx-yy/topics/ similar to /topics/

Currently, only zh-cn is available

Adding R Shiny Apps

To add a new shiny app to the visualisations page, all you need to do is copy a file, and change two fields.

Detailed instructions:

1. copy the _shinyapp/template.md file to a new file name in the same directory
2. if using the Github interface, click raw to see the text to copy, then create a new file and paste that in; there is no simple way to duplicate a file in the web interface
3. edit the URL in the shinyurl: https://cmmid-lshtm.shinyapps.io/SOME_APP/ line to match the url where the application is hosted; this can be any url that serves up an R Shiny App
4. edit the title; this must be valid YAML, so no new lines and watch out for : and , in your title - those and other special characters can be addressed by quoting the whole entry
5. DON'T edit the ---s.
6. if using the Github web editing interface, you can check the preview to ensure proper entry. Should see a table-like thing
7. commit your changes
